iPhone LTE?

iveryam — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 21:35:16 +0000

UPDATE:
My contact who may or may not be working for Apple on iOS devices just laughed when I mentioned “iPhone LTE” as a possible name for the next iPhone. When asked specifically about LTE in the next iPhone, my contact said: “You know I can’t confirm nor deny that.”

Whispers from Cupertino mentioned “iPhone LTE” instead of “iPhone 5″ as the name for the next iPhone. Take it with a grain or a boulder of salt. It is pretty apparent that Apple won’t be using “iPhone 4G” name since “4G’ doesn’t really mean anything anymore.

A source who is not Phil Schiller has been hinting that the next iPhone wouldn’t be called “iPhone 5″ since the release of iPhone 4S.

Haven’t I seen this in a movie before?

Every time I see birds on a wire, I always think of “For The Birds” animated short by Pixar.

Mac Pro RAID Card and 3 Terabytes Hard Drives.

iveryam — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 15:16:46 +0000

Mac Pro RAID Card with model number A1247 does not have full support for 3 terabytes hard drives. This Mac Pro RAID card would only be able to recognize maximum 2.2 terabytes of the hard drive capacity.

The discussion threads at Apple Support Communities.

The built-in Serial-ATA controller in Mac Pro supports 3TB hard drives.

Patriot Memory, I Thank Thee.

I sent a defective SDHC Card back to Patriot Memory about one week ago. I received the replacement in the mail sometimes yesterday. I can’t quite remember how much I paid for the SDHC card a year or two ago. At the time of this post it sells for $14.99 at Amazon.com and Newegg.com.

I would like to thank Patriot Memory for making the RMA process so easy.

Oh New Mac Pro, Where Art Thou?

I am currently working on a Mac Pro with a problematic Apple RAID Card. The fun part is to transfer terabytes of data off the hard drives in RAID to other drives. Wait a minute, did I say “fun”?

Anyway, a lot people are hoping Apple to release new Mac Pro soon. There are fears that Apple would axe the Mac Pro line, since there has been no new models for two years. I personally haven’t heard a word about any new Mac Pro from my contacts at Apple.

I bought those Mac Pro RAM from Other World Computing.

Where’s the love for Windows Vista?

Seriously, who would still want to install Windows Vista?

Acer still provides Windows XP drivers for Veriton VX4618G series. The one I’m working on is Veriton VX4618G-Ui7s60W. It comes with Windows 7 Professional.

All Squared Up.

If you own a small business and you want to accept card card as payment then it couldn’t be any easier these days.

About a week before Christmas 2011, I helped setting up credit card payment system using Square for a small bakery in the Long Beach, California. All they need are: a wireless access point, an iPod touch and Square card reader. In addition to that, they are also accepting card payment at farmers market in Long Beach, Culver City and Pasadena. According to the bakery owner, they are gaining new customers by simply accepting card payment.

The next project is to redesign Sconeage Bakery website.

Ever wonder why the CPU fan is running loud? You should check it out and see if the heatsink and fan are dirty.

In addition to that I replaced the Pentium D with a Core 2 Duo.
