My DREAM Apple Tablet

Few hours to go before the Apple’s “Latest Creation” event which we are expecting Apple will announce the Apple Tablet (iSlate, iPad.. iDonno).

Despite the rumors in the past years regarding the Apple Tablet, I do really wish it included the following features:

  • Long battery life — Please, if it gonna be portable, it should have a long lasting battery. Give me 6 hours of web surfing battery power!
  • Terabytes storage — not really, but I wish Apple Tablet has few hundred GB storage to store media files (music, moviessss, photos, etc).
  • USB port(s) — I would like to be able plugging any USB devices to the Apple Tablet, say a keyboard, a flash drives, external DVD burner, etc.
  • Memory card slot — My little wishful thinking. A memory card slot in Apple Tablet which allows me to read/backup memory cards on-the-go.
  • Adobe Flash Player — For your information, no Adobe Flash Player on Apple iPhone OS. I wish Apple Tablet supports Adobe Flash player natively and no more “This content requires the Adobe Flash Player” message when I am browsing websites.
  • USD$730 (~MYR$2500) — Needs I say more? The cheaper the better it is but MYR$2500 would be nice.

OK. These are my wishful, fantasy.. feature list. IF, Apple Tablet (whatever it’s name) got the features, I will be the 1st to buy it! Muahahaha…

What’s your dream tablet computer?

OMG! OMG! TechCrunch Hacked, Again!

Posted: 27 Jan 2010 12:06 AM PST

TechCrunch has been hacked, again. Not even 24 hour after the 1st hack.

Techcrunch hacked, again

Reported by TheNextWeb, TechCrunch has been hacked again and the hacker inserted the following text (no censor) in the site’s header:

“So Arrington, how much did all the media coverage yesterday brought you in trough the welcome.html ad you forced people to? What a fucking retarded move was that you twat. You should be thanking me and sucking on my fucking ballsack for not deleting everyone on the box and publishing the mysql, if that’s what you want O.K, I can do that. Also, you fucking dickwads from sites like Yahoo!, BBC and plenty more, where the FUCK do you see adult content on http://dupedb.com/ ???????? I mean honestly, are you fucktards also in just for the money?!?!?!”

My two cents

Apparently, the hacker is angry over the TechCrunch decision to put up the interstitial ad.

TechCrunch is back to normal, once again. Hope it will stable from now on. It is not a good idea to have the popular tech site hacked while Apple announce the Apple Tablet few hours later.

By the way, TechCrunch is running on WordPress blogging platform. Have you update your WordPress to the latest version?
