  2. Apple Daily? on 2-D Avatar To Be Pulled From Theaters In China · · Score: 1

    They are famous in being "emotional" in their reporting. A huge grain of salt is recommended.

  3. By 'People' I mean the people from mainland China on Apple To Sell Wi-Fi-less iPhone In China · · Score: 1

    Sorry I didn't make it clear in previous post.

    I'm not sure what this 'no WiFi' thing is aiming at but be honest 802.11-capable gears have been pretty common in China. For example these 'Shanzhai' internet tablets* support 802.11b/g and I haven't seen any mention of WAPI.

    * ARM11 running Linux and costs less than US$150, nice toy.

    Fixed that for you.

  8. Re:Searching from the address bar on Browser Comparison - Firefox 2 b1, IE7 b3, Opera 9 · · Score: 1

    You don't get it either.

    In the Mozilla suite the search option is located on the last row of the URL history. Just type the search terms in the address bar, press up to highlight the search option, and hit enter to initiate the search. One less hotkey to remember.

    Speaking of search, in Mozilla suite we use Ctrl+Enter to open the search in new tab. Anyone know how to do it in Firefox?

    Any substance that, when withdrwn from, gives you headaches, the sweats and severe drowsiness can be classified as a toxin to the body.

    You mean money is also a toxin?

  15. Vibrator on Samsung Launches 3D Movement Recognition Phone · · Score: 1

    Tactile feedback can be similated by the phone's vibrator.

    There's a game called Mawaru made in Wario (sorry, Japanese only) which has a motion sensor and a vibrator built-in. The result is amazingly good.

  17. Re:I don't get it on 80,012 Text Messages In One Month · · Score: 1

    It's all about cost. Making a voice call is much more expensive than SMS in New Zealand.

    When I was in NZ most of us only used our phone to receive SMS. We hardly sent SMS from our phone (it cost 20c), instead we sent SMS mostly from the web (which is free, and there're plenty of terminals around the campus).

  18. Re:Price of SMS Stinks. on 80,012 Text Messages In One Month · · Score: 1

    Over here in Hong Kong almost nobody use SMS. It costs HK$1 each ($2-$3 for MMS) while a ~1000 minute (incl. incoming call) plan costs about HK$100 (+/- 10%).

    Most telcos provide free intra-network SMS but portable numbers make it useless.

    1 USD is about 7.8 HKD.

  21. Apple trying to change our price perception? on Rumors of iPod mini, 100 Million Songs, Xserve G5 All True · · Score: 1

    After looking at the $250 pricetag I immediately feel the original iPods aren't that expensive anymore. (the 15GB model even looks attractive!)

    Is it what Apple wants us to think with the $250 iPod mini?

  22. Re:"next page" tag in HTML? on Mouse Gestures in Javascript · · Score: 1

    There's a "link" tag in HTML 4.0

    By the way, Mozilla also has a "Site Navigation Bar" to handle the "link" tag.

  23. Run Junk Mail Controls on Folder on Microsoft Virus Spam: SoBig.F · · Score: 2, Informative

    Instead of deleting them by hand, you can train the filter with several of them and then from menu bar -> Tools -> Run Junk Mail Controls on Folder.

    Alternatively you can set up a message filter (from the Tools menu too) and then run it on your inbox.

    Good luck.

  24. Re:Will it ever stop? on CollegeLinux Released to the Public · · Score: 1

    FYI there's Project UDI (Uniform Driver Interface).

    From their FAQ:

    Like other device driver interfaces used in Operating Systems today, UDI defines an architecture and a set of APIs for use between the driver and the surrounding system. This allows drivers and OSes to be developed independently. UDI goes a step further and provides APIs that are OS-neutral and platform-neutral, allowing multiple OSes and platforms to use the exact same driver.
