Air!
Stevie does it again!!- Looking at the Ad, I have no doubt that this is indeed the thinnest laptop in the world Is $1800 worth it?- May be...May be not..but the latest iPhone firmware 1.1.3 once again screwed up my iPhone. I had to restore the phone to the factory settings and once again lost all the photos and songs that I had stored in the phone. But luckily for me, out of caution, I just copied all the photos onto the computer, before I upgraded. But the songs are gone- which shouldn't be a matter of concern, as I have the originals in the iPod!.
Steve compensates for that disappointment with the features on the latest upgrade- one that really blew me off was the triangulation feature added to the Google Maps. iPhone was able to identify my location with a margin of error of around 150-200 Mts- which is phenomenal- now, I dont want a GPS when I drive out. I had found iPhone to be more than enough even without the GPS- now with this triangulation, it is even better..way to go!
The other features like ability to adjust the icons on the screen- it literally sizzles. Impressed!- Yet to completely explore the latest upgrade- will keep posted!

iPhone Bricked by Apple!
As I am writing this, I am staring at a screen that says, "iTunes has deducted an inactive iPhone. Please restore the iPhone to the blah blah.....". What the latest firmware update to the iPhone had done to my iPhone is, to brick it (well, almost nearly). All my data has gone- including all my songs, my notes, calendar information, SMS's, browsing history, bookmarks - its as good as a new iPhone. Thankfully, my contact list is still intact. But my voice mail settings and all the voice mails that I had saved, are gone- I am distraught- I didn't expect this from Apple- to brick my phone- my confidence in Apple is taking a second nasty blow- after the now infamous price slash.
I did read commentary on the firmware update- all it said was that, an active AT&T Sim was necessary to get the iPhone working post update. But, I hadn't unlocked the phone in the first place- So, I don't understand what went wrong. Do I have any recourse for this?

iPhone, Price- Is it Worth it?
Ok. Lets get this thing straight. I was indeed following the Steve Job-"The Beat Goes on" speech, where he slashed the price of iPhone by around 30%. I was following it in Engadget and I was excited with iPod Nano, iPod Classic and all. It was very exciting to see iPod Touch- but then, why was I squeaking in the chair, with so much happening around?
I am as well excited by the $100 credit that Jobs had offered- but I just can't help but marvel at the marketing stunt that he had pulled off. It is not easy to antagonize your ardent followers and then pull it off with minimum damage. I don't think the 100$ credit that was offered is a "I-see-the-reaction-and-then-offer" act. It must have been a carefully planned out strategy- the price reduction is an eventuality, a certainty waiting to happen. Only the timing was unexpected. I am sure Steve would have factored the angry reaction from the early adopters that followed the announcement and would have already formulated this credit offer long before he even announced the reduction.
Now, he had made even those who were disappointed with the price reduction to buy and thus keep buying more from Apple. Had this been a knee-jerk reaction to the angry feedback, he might have as well given a reimbursement. The fact that Apple had made only a credit available for future purchases, speaks volumes about the planning. I don't buy the argument that this is reflective of the disappointing sales of iPhone. Though I think 600$ is a steep price to make it a mass product, I do believe the sales had been well towards the target- Time would say if that is true or not.
In the meanwhile, I am looking out for 10 more iPhone early birds to share the 100$ credit with me, so that I can buy an iMac! ;)
- Now, there is very little difference between an iPod Touch and an iPhone (looks-wise), and iPod Touch comes cheaper, with no monthly charges :)
- While I don't mind paying the 600$ that I paid for iPhone, I do expect a comfortable zone of exclusivity, when I can be the "Cool-Kid" in the block.
- True- when you are the early adapter, you are bound to be made obsolete soon- but how soon is the case in point- Apple had traditionally been a brand that would let you enjoy this for quite sometime.
- 66 days off the launch and the price is reduced by 30%- this is too soon and too steep.
- There were no appreciable updates for iPhone itself- except the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store and the ringtones. I am not interested in buying a ringtone for .99$ and not interested in the iTunes Music Store too. I was expecting something along launching iPhone internationally- though I know it might be launched in Europe, Asia (India) is largely out of Steve's radar right now.

iPhone!
After a month's wait, after numerous debates, I finally bought THE phone- iPhone today. I had had this feel that iPhone might not be all that useful to me. I already have an official phone and that was more than enough for me for the purpose of staying in touch.
But, When I saw the iPhone released, I know my reason, logic and sense wouldn't be all that strong and it wasn't all that strong, the other day when I had been to Apple store and was carrying some hard cash ;). I had pull myself out of the temptation to buy it. I was saved that day- but as time would testify now, not for long- just for a couple of weeks.
Today morning, woke up pretty early and with all the devotion of a pilgrimage, started to Apple Store. It is pretty irresistible once you see the beauty. I was just not able to contain myself when I saw it and asked the guy to immediately pack me one. It was as if some take away packing that I had ordered. A card, swipe and a signature later, my darling was in my hands.
Leaving you with the album, while I debate whether to take a new connection or transfer my official number to the new instrument- if that is the case, I am sure, there is going to be a lot of waxing and coaxing around for sure!

Disappointed with Apple Safari for Windows!
When I first read about the release of Apple Safari for Windows, I was jumping in joy- It's been my wish to use it ever since I saw Safari working with Mac. I wanted to use the browser- if not for anything atleast for the user interface. The moment I was able to, I downloaded Safari and installed it. And then began my saga of trying to get to open a few pages in Safari.
The pages that I tried to open in Safari in the same order in tabs.
Apple (This is the home page)
Google.com
GMail.com
I was never able to get the Apple site open for me in the 20 Minutes that I had kept the window open. In the 20 minutes, I have downloaded, Maxthon browser, installed it and even browsed all my unread items in my Bloglines account. It is fast.
The first time I am disappointed with Apple. Hopefully, this is the last time too.

Brooklyn and WTC!
There are some things that are better left unspoken- like Love, like dreams...and here like WTC!! The people I move with- a good number of them, seem to have lost someone- 1st or 2nd or at the least 3rd degree loss. The 9/11 is better not spoken about. So, I wasn't surprised when I found a congregation at the site, the day when I went there.
Actually, it wasn't a planned trip. We had initially planned to go to 5th avenue- the Apple Store. When I first read about the Apple Store, I know I wanted to see this place somehow. And when I know I am coming to Newark, I know this would be the first place that I would visit in NYC. But, as they say, things have their own ways of shaping up. The day we were supposed to go to Big Apple to see the Apple, we had a slight mis-communication and the result- the people who were supposed to take us there, ended up reaching there alone.
So I decided, the best way to explore a place is to get lost ;)...Started off with my colleague. We know we need to go to 5th avenue. But we had no idea on how to get there. Got into the Tube and started our journey. I saw the route map in the Path- but then ignored them. Wanted to just go till where the Path would take us. Ended up in WTC.
Once we saw the huge crater in the place of WTC, I was dumbstruck with the magnitude of the event. For most of us in India, it was destruction of a building and loss of lives- though the number was enormous, I guess we would never be able to fully comprehend the scale of the building or what it stands for. This one picture there was so moving that I couldn't stop walking away lest I would cry.
This is part of the Art for Heart Exhibition that is being conducted with the paintings by the children who lost their loved ones on 9/11.
NYC had always been a dream place for me. I am sure, it still is! What I saw there and what I felt there- words wouldn't be enough to explain them- it's not the richness, it's not the wealth or the power this city commands- it's the sheer scale of human possibilities that this city is a symbol of- that inspires me- well, I am distracting from the topic.
We ended up in this place and started walking as our legs would carry us. I was sure, that I would be able to make my way back. So took all the roads that I can take- simultaneously, my camera too was busy with it's piece of work. I had already decided that I would try out and experiment all the functionalities in the camera and I also wanted to learn the differences between the many settings- theoretically all make sense- but when you actually see the same scene taken with different settings, you can appreciate the difference.
When I saw the board "Brooklyn Bridge", I know we had come to the right place ;)- started towards it. Result- loads of pictures - there would be duplicates of the same scene- same people- but note that, the settings for each of the pictures vary- you can see the settings in the "Details" tab of the page!
The bridge itself is a marvel of architecture- there are boards and sign plates that tell you the story behind the Bridge- but the one marvelous thing about the bridge is that you get to see the Statue of Liberty far off- the sight is breath taking and awe inspiring- the symbol of everything that I hold high as moral and as value- though that is in short supply everywhere (even here).
Every moment I was there- I truly enjoyed the freedom, the human ingenuity and possibilities- to look at the Manhattan Skyline and the distant Empire State Building- it truly inspires you like none else, of the innate Human Will and resolve. Would love to go there once again- if not for anything atleast to enjoy it in the night- I hadn't taken my jacket with me, as it was pretty hot in the day when we left- but ended up in rains when we returned.
Tons of photos for the patient enough!

iPhone and such like!
Yesterday as I was hopping between meetings, lunch and SSN office and couple of other things, the one site that I never closed was this. Whenever I get a speck of a wireless access, I just refreshed the screen and when the ultimate announcement came, I wasn't too impressed. But as the pictures and other features started tickling in, I knew I am into something real exciting. Then scouring for all sort of material available on the Internet, reading for and against, so many opinions- mostly in favour..but some in doubt too. There is no doubt that this product is an awesome addition to the already exciting Apple portfolio. But the genius of this piece lies in its simplicity of design and uncluttered nature.
There would definitely be competitors closing in on Apple Inc, but then a start made is a start made and no one can change that. By throwing open the phone to public viewing pleasure (though the launch is planned only by June), Steve would have not only satisfied the FCC, but also might have given some lead time for his competitors.
I had put this post in draft the day after the iPhone announcement was made and as I am typing this today, there had already been so many twists and turns to the story. As the story keeps tickling in from all quarters and the legal minutes being fought out in the open, I am yet to take sides in this- While I am positive that Jobs wouldn't be stupid enough to say this without enough consideration, and be sure of the repercussions, I would only hope that all those started well, ends well and I get to refer to my dream as I refer to it now- iPhone.
While I intend to buy the phone the moment it hits the stores(provided it doesn't run out of stock), I don't know what I would do when I return back to India..With iPhone locked in with Cingular (now at&t), I can't use it anywhere other than in US. It seems that there might also be a contract period of 2 years and that would simply be too restricting for me. My only hope as of now is to wait till there is an unlocked phone that is available in the market. While there are no dearths of people waiting such, with the recent utterances from Stevie, I am not very enthusiastic about such a step- not the least in US. Ofcourse, I am sure if and when iPhone is released in other countries than US, it would be an unlocked version, the time for such a release disappoints me.
On an unrelated note, I have moved to the New, Blogger. Feels good- after a long wait..but yet to optimize my blog to the new features that the New Blogger offers.

Book Rain!
Is this a season of books or what- that too of some of my favourite authors - First it was Richard Dawkins with his "The God Delusion", next is Steven Johnson with his "The Ghost Map: The Story of London's Most Terrifying Epidemic -- and How It Changed Science, Cities, and the Modern World".
I just happened to read his interview for the Salon Magazine[Forced Ad viewing required]. I wouldn't rate it as exciting- but nevertheless, it is interesting. The first book of him, that I read was "Emergence- The Connected Lives of Ants, Brains, Cities, and Software". The moment I started reading that book, I knew I was holding one of the most interested topics that I had ever had!
That book along with The Selfish Gene and The Meme Machine, had broadened my view on science, anthropology and to a good extent religion, philosophy and God! The Selfish Gene was introduced to me by Prof. Sankaran, who has a great interest on things like Emergence, Society and Science. Once I got that book, the remaining books were a logical extension of the theme that interested me the most. I started reading more books on such topics, which let me to Immanuel Kunt's "Critique of Pure Reason". It did help me that I was at TAPMI then and had unrestricted access to the treasures of such classics that were freely available in the Library.
Now, the more I look into the ways that Cities and other Social structures have developed, the more I understand that Men, after all isn't any different/great from the so-called lower creatures. It does is a matter of pride that we were able to make fighter planes and nuclear bombs, but it still isn't convincing to me that we are any greater than any other animal on this planet.
If you need more convincing proofs, do take a look at this article.[General Warning: A Ten Page Article that requires considerable patience].
I liked especially one line- "The city of the dead antedates the city of the living"-[Lewis Mumford]

Apple Crazy!
But it did come out with so many other features- Increased battery life, more games, search enabled, more capacity, brighter screen, new ear phone design and much more...but what steals the show is the iPod Shuffle....the smallest MP3 player ever.
The moment I saw it I was drooling. Its such a master piece. I couldn't control myself from seeing the specs.
An 1.07*1.62*0.41" MP3 Player??? Now, that is what I would expect Apple to give me. Ofcourse, there are geeks who are worried about whether it would be a dock or a USB port that would go with it and there are some overly cautious guys who worry that it might get lost somewhere...with just 0.55 Ounce, it is easy to forget, but with 1 Gb storage and an amazing sound ouuput, it isnt easy to loose! ;)
I am already in queue for this piece!

Chance Surprises!
ஆ:சங்கீத ஸ்வரங்கள் ஏழே கணக்கா? இன்னும் இருக்கா?? என்னவோ மயக்கம்....
பெ:என் வீட்டில் இரவு...அங்கே இரவா இல்லே பகலா?? எனக்கும் மயக்கம்.....

ஆ:யோசனை வரலே...
பெ:தூங்கினா விளங்கும்....
ஆ:தூக்கம் தான் வரலே...
பெ:பாடுரேன் மெதுவா உறங்கு.....
This song from Azhagan, had long been one of my favourites....I love the lyrics, the choreography, the picturization, the concept....in short every aspect of the song. When I heard it in my iPod, I noticed yet another aspect that really excited me.
The song happens over phone through out the night and the concept of time would have been shown excellently- be it the night traffic's flow and the ebb, the DD's(Doordarshan) morning invocation, the Servant serving the morning Tea/ Coffee and opening the screens with a quizzed look- the picturization of the song deserves a special mention. However, apart from all these, the music scores over everything else.
The surprise (or rather an exciting) discovery is that, SPB's voice comes in the right speaker and Sandhiya's voice in the left...May be this might have dawned on many people, but this is the first time that I am figuring out this- through out the entire song, the SPB's voice comes in the right side and Sandhiya's in the left....as such happening over phone...excellent attention to details I should say..what do you say?

Funny iPod!
It's sometimes funny how the shuffle option works in iPod...or for that matter any music player. Today morning, when in bus on the way to work, I was treated to a funny variety. The exact order is reproduced here:
I wanna be your underwear
The Next one- This is absolute fun.
Enjoy...I was lol all the way!

Why I love Apple (sic)
Ummmm..this might be one of the reasons that I love Apple. The mere serendipity of the discovery beats all the product manuals and user guides. When I bought the iPod, I was surprised to find the pack with a single sheet of user manual. It just said what is inside, had a diagram describing the various parts and the ways to play, pause, rewind and forward the songs. It had instructions on how to load the songs..and believe me- thats it..Nothing more to it.
When I had only a handful of songs, I never found it difficult to navigate. It was simple. I stored all based on Albums and Artists..So I would directly go there, and the scrolling was reduced to the minimum possible. But when my play lists exploded to thousands, I thought its going to be a task to first arrive at the exact song that I want to play. But I never gave a thought to the period that I kept scrolling to arrive at the song.
Sometime back it appeared to me that I was able to reach the fag end of the play list faster than I thought it would take, but I didn’t give much thought about it then because I wasn't thinking that the scroll disk would be so intelligent to sense my intention and feed me songs faster. But that is exactly what it seems to do.

I wasn't expecting the scroll disk to be so sensible and intelligent. Apple simply bowls me over.There's the iPod's slick scroll wheel that accelerates down a long list of songs

Speaking iPod!
Oops!!..May be I was a bit early!;-)...Now a speaking iPod.[Via Techmeme].
But all said and done, iPod rocks...it truly rocks...most of my time now goes on with my iPod lapped into my trousers and the ears phone snugged into the ears- oblivious to the external world..Umm...such a nice and peaceful thing to do!
With the iPod, I do get to discover the beauty of songs that I wouldn't have heard otherwise- Put the pod in shuffle mode and then you chance upon some awesome songs...one such is the Unnavida.
Shreya Ghosal and Kamal Haasan had given the song a nice touch. It touches the cord at all the right places- especially when you get to hear it in a slight drizzle standing near the gates in the metro train with the moist air beating down on your face and you are wondering where you are heading to.
உன் கூட நான் கூடி இருந்திட எனக்கு ஜென்மம் ஒண்ணு போதுமா
நூறு ஜென்மம் வேணும் அத கேக்கரேன் சாமிய
நூறு ஜென்மம் நமக்குப் பொதுமா?
வேற வரம் ஏதும் கேட்போமா?
சாகா வரம் கேட்போம் அந்த சாமிய அந்த சாமிய
Umm....n so it goes!

Here is to 30 years of Apple - Fresh
Here, is to wish another 30 years or more for the Apple Computers Inc., This April, Apple turns 30....30 phenominal years of some of the best kick ass launches and latest iPod...
Caught hold of two ads that were released long back for Apple. Looking at the ads, its simply overwhelming to note the changes that time had done to the company and to the world- I leave it to your judgement- Time, as they say does do wonders....[Ads taken from Wired Blog]
Read the first ad before to understand what I mean...;)
