What happened to Apple?

Back in the day, I distinctly remember the warm thrill I experienced whenever I heard that Apple was holding a special event. I always ordered a Dominos pizza, and some chicken wings. My eyes were glued on to the photos as they passed by the live blogs. Every announcement rendered my screaming "Oh, my god", just like Janice from 'Friends'.

However, lately it hasn't been the same. There's no pizza. There' no enthusiasm. There's only a few reasons why I look upon Apple's events with a gloomy and unenthusiastic eye. Over time, nothing really big has been announced. Remember the announcement of the Unibody, anyone?

Probably I am expecting way too much for Apple. I expected a massive, sexier redesign for the Apple iPhone 5. But, nope, looks almost the same. It's less of the iPhone 5, more of iPhone4S S, if you know what I mean? The back look's pretty good though, but that's only one of those small things they tweak now and then.

Another probability is that I've just grown out of it. However, I'm pretty sure that's unlikely. I did see the iPhone 5 event. But, I just went to sleep in the middle. I was really disappointed.

All I can do now is hope that Jobs' Apple comes back. Yeah, sure, Apple's stock is at a record high of what, $700, making it a $600 billion+ company. For comparisons sake, the GDP of Thailand is $602 billion by PPP (2011). But as everyone knows, an Apple enthusiast doesn't really care about that.

What I really want is to get back the enthusiasm, and inquisitiveness that defined an Apple launch.

Anonymous, Indian government, and Operation India

On May 17th, the popular hacker group, Anonymous declared the 'Operation India', against the censorship and the blockage of torrent website by the Indian Government. They have hacked the website of the ruling Congress party, and the website of the Rajya Sabha, that is the upper house of the Union Parliament.

This is the message that was given by one of the videos.
"

Hello world. This is Anonymous. It has come to our attention the seriousness of the injustice that the people of India are suffering. Suffering from the denial of their freedom of speech. Something many of use take for granted. From blunt and brutal physical assault to sophisticated technical barriers -- and the more insidious corporate threat from within -- the Indian press and media has been under attack over the last year. Since January, one journalist has been killed, and there have been nine other attacks on journalists. There have been six instances of intimidation of journalists and writers, the blocking of 11 websites, telephone taps on political leaders and civil society activists, hate speeches on Facebook, the social networking site, and censorship of books and films. This is not only immoral. It is sickening. Murder simply to deny people their natural rights. However the FBI is looking for Anonymous. We have not hurt anyone but murderers are allowed to roam free. This is not a threat to the Indian government. It is a formal warning. If there is not a change in the handling of your press as well as your freedom policies. 

We are Anonymous, we are legion, we do not forgive, we do not forget, expect us.

I personally support Anonymous. The Indian government of the ruling congress party has been unable to put the corrupt behind bars, and those who already were in Tihar jail, have been released on bail, like Mr A Raja, whose corruption cost the state approximately 5 billion US Dollars. 

Anyonymous, the Indian people are with you. We are aware of the injustice we are facing. It's time to rise.

We are Anonymous, 
we are legion, 
we do not forgive, 
we do not forget, 
expect us.

WWDC 2012 - iPhone 5 rumors

As you probably have heard, WWDC 2012 was announced yesterday, and was sold out in less than 12 hours. This time, the WWDC 2012 will be focusing on iOS and Mountain Lion, but there always is, "One Last Thing..".

The iPhone 5 home buttons were on sale on TVC-Mall.com

There are many iPhone 5 rumors floating around. It's home button has already been leaked, and experts predict that it will utilize "Glass to glass" technology. That, in my opinion is pretty exciting. The iPhone 5 will be 15% thinner.  It will use 4GLTE technology and just might have a 4 inch screen, that is, if we are lucky.

The iPhone 5 is the most rumored gadget currently, so it isn't wise to believe many of the rumors floating around. Hell, we might not even get 'iPhone 5', but the 'new iPhone', just like in the case of iPad. No one wants to hang around with a iPhone 12, or iPad 17 in the future. It just sounds.. out of place. There is a strong possibility that this would happen.

Could iPhone 5 be the "One Last Thing"? I think that is unlikely, given that the current iPhone, 4S was released in October of 2011. But, you never know Apple and its crazy marketing strategies.

So I think we can conclude, that the iPhone 4S will remain the "most amazing iPhone yet." for now.

Thankyou for reading.
