Let's talk iphone

 Today apple sent out invites to the journalists and publishers regarding the iphone release.

 The invitation was very creative.

 Just by using the icons of calendar app,clock app,map app and phone app they conveyed the message.At the bottom of these icons there is the message stating "Let's talk iPhone".

Apple will be unveiling its next iPhone October 4th at its Cupertino headquarters.

 Here is the invitation for you:

 Nice touch.


Would Steve be there?

How does Sprint prevent people from reading Bad reviews?? -- remove the option

 So I was browsing sprint website and looking for a phone to buy.Since I was so disappointed with my present Samsung Transform I have decided to read the reviews before I make my purchase decision.

 I clicked the user reviews and see that the positive reviews are at the top.I want to see the reviews with 1 star or the negative reviews.I was searching for that sort option but all I found was Featured ,Newest, Highest Rated, Most Helpful.

 There is no way you can sort the reviews with one star or negative or the most critical ones.

All you can see is the praising ones unless the newest ones happen to be negative.If not you will be spending a lot of time searching for a negative review.


 Its like telling people you can rate us with the following 3 options.

1.  Good
2. Better.
3. Best

Here is the screen shot:

This is not good sprint.

Apple looses its iphone.... Again!!!

 So again this year apple has lost its iphone 5 prototype in a bar.Surprising????

 How could such a thing as losing in a bar can take place successively?

 There is a subliminal marketing involved in the loosing of the phone.

 Last year when the expectation of iphone 4 was less or people didn't think much of iphone as they were already satisfied with the iphones they had.

 At that time sprint came up with the fast 4G with HTC EVO.4G had 7 mbps speed.And the phone itself was cutting edge.It had 4 inch screen.Its the first wimax phone.The phone itself can act as a router (tethering) and can connect up to 5 devices.

 So everyone started to talk about the happening thing.And were expecting the EVO.Apple didn't even had the plans to release its phone.Seeing peoples expectation about the EVO apple started to worry.It thought the the demand for the iphone 4 would decrease if most of the people who were planning to switch switched over to the EVO.

 It needed some news of the iphone to come out.So what would it be?It can't be anything related to the feature of the phone.

 So the news of the lost iphone came out.People started to talk.Now iphone is on their attention again.

 History repeats again this year.

Another apple employee looses his upcoming iphone 5 in a bar and then again securities and the police officers search for it again.Here you go they have your attention again. Just increasing the tempo of their release.Had it not be lost we wouldn't care and there would be no news.

 Now there is news all over.

America's got talent 2011 - Finals

Last night four acts performed.

 1.Landau Eugene Murphy Jr
 2.Team iLuminate
 3.Poplyfe
 4.Silhouettes.

 Landau was wonderful last night as was Team iLuminate.Right from the begning I am not a great fan of Poplyfe.And she missed few notes in her song.

 I need to say something about Silhouettes.All the judges were telling that this is a unique act.As far as I recollect it is not.Remember the Oscars where Ellen hosted.They had the real professional dance troupe doing the same act much better.And I am not sure why the judges were saying that they have never seen it before.

 So my pick here is Landau Eugene Murphy Jr.He is a singer and he does it good.Based on the data for the past few years its the singers who are winning it.So he is the one who is going to win.

Is Oracle going to takeover HP?

 So I was calling a friend in a different country and who knows the inside details of HP.

And he was telling me that there are talks going on inside the company that Oracle is going to take over the company.

First the ex CEO of HP joins Oracle.

Then HP stops all its business in mobile technology and tablets with webOS which it bought for 1.3 billion dollars just a year ago.

 Then HP says that it will spin out its PC business or will sell it.

 Then it announces that it will be on the servicing side just like IBM.

So Oracle is another service provider and HP is a good candidate for a takeover now.

Would this happen?

May be.

Lets wait and see.

My picks for the final four of America's Got Talent 2011

 Here are my picks for the final 4 from last night.Lets see whats going to happen tonight.

1. Landon Swank.
2. Smage Bros.
3. Landau Eugene Murphy Jr
