Sreejith’s NETwork

Thanks to Milind for reminding me about the Macworld 2007 : Steve jobs keynote . I was on engadget from last 2 hours tracking their every announcement waiting for something cool. And they did it ! The iPhone ! Trust me , its going to be a bigger hit than the iPod.

This marvelous thin piece is a 11.6 millimeter device 3.5-inch wide touchscreen display with multi-touch support and a proximity sensor to turn off the sensor when it’s close to your face, 2 megapixel cam, 4GB or 8 GB of storage, Bluetooth with EDR and A2DP, WiFi that automatically engages when in range, and quadband GSM radio with EDGE, RUNS OS X, Apple quotes 5 hours of battery life for talk or video, with a full 16 hours in music mode.

Just one button ! You think it works with a stylus ? No need baby .. fingers will do !!

How much ?? 8 GB will cost 599 USD . Apple will launch it by June 07 in US. Europe in the 4th quarter of this year, Asia in 2008 .

P.S : You won’t probably believe but few days ago I actually wished Apple releases a phone !

What do you do when your ISP is down for a day.? You go to the cafe. Exactly what I did. I visited one of the 2 Sify Internet Cafe’ here in Kannur. My first impression - It Sucks ! As I was entering, the guy standing outside asked me to remove my shoes :/ . Wht the !
I know its part of Indian culture and I repect it but, in a Net Cafe ?

The guy who manages the place is after me for taking a membership, telling me all the crap about its advantages. Then after all I got a system, I asked him if he had firefox, which ofcourse he had never heard of . I asked him if I can install it, he agreed with a weird face as if I am going to install some spyware.

Nevermind that, the worst part was the ADVERTISMENT. As you start you are greeted with an ad window, close it, enter a website url and another advertisment window pops up from nowhere. I don’t think google.com has any pop ups, atleast not for the search service. Oh yeah .. there is a small advertisment in upper right corner of screen which covers around 4% of 15″ screen. I asked the guy if I can close this, which he proudly described that its not his problem as its default from Sify.

Yup! Thats right, after a long search I finally ended up on this great piece of art from Apple ! My MacBook Pro, my baby ! I love it . You can’t possibly find anything to hate in it. Everything is just so cool.
I do think its a bit heavy for its size but who cares when it offers such a wonderful configuration.
