In case you are too busy or have miss the most recent D8 Conference on June 1, here is the interview of Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher with Steve Jobs at the D8 conference on June 1.
25 years of my life on this Earth. It did not seem long, but already lots of things have gone by. Don’t worry, I shall not list every single one of them down, however most of the time my role is still a student, my main task is to absorb as much knowledge as possible, people have been telling me its for my own good, but I have yet to experience myself.
If I may ask, how are you leading your life? Is it as typical as I do? Nevertheless, I am grateful of what I have now, and the things that have happened around me, be it good or bad, they are already part of me and I shall bring them along with me into the future. Who knows, maybe one day I can share with the rest and continue to inspire more people…
An overview of the education system I have gone through and still on-going in Singapore:
1 – 6 years old is about attending Kindergarten, playing and enjoying childhood. 7 – 12 years old is about going through primary school. 13 – 16 years is about going through secondary school. 17 – 19 years old is about going through polytechnic school. 20 – 22 years is about going through National Service (Army). 23 – 25 years old is about going through University, if everything goes well, will be graduating next year when I’m 26.
I’m not sure how long I can live, and I believe the duration of a person’s life is not important at all, in fact the way how we use it is more interesting. End of the day, you must ask yourself what have you learn? Are you still as stubborn as before? What things can bring along with you when it’s time for you to leave this World? It’s time for some serious thinking…
OK, lets get back to Apple latest new releases yesterday. First of all its the new Apple Magic Trackpad, which run on Bluetooth technology and specially designed for desktop computers. The purpose of it, is to allow users to enjoy the same multi-touch capabilities on the existing macbooks laptops. According to Apple, its even 80% more area. So there’s even more room for you to scroll, swipe, pinch, and rotate to your fingers’ content. And since the entire surface is a button that clicks, you can use it in place of a mouse.
Secondly, is the new and first Apple battery charger, which claimed to have one of the lowest standby power usage values. Furthermore, the Apple Battery Charger is so intelligent that it can sense when its batteries are done charging and automatically reduces the amount of power it needs. According to Apple, the supplied 6 batteries can last you for at least 10 years.
Software Updates: You may also download the latest Magic Trackpad and Multi-Touch Trackpad Update 1.0, which will add support to Mac OS X for the Magic Trackpad and is required for its use. It also enables inertial scrolling and the three-finger drag gesture in recent MacBook and MacBook Pro notebooks.
Other than that Apple also refreshes its iMac, MacPro and LED Cinema Display. The iMac is even faster now (processor: Intel core i3, i5 and i7) which can run both SSD and HDD at the same time. As for the MacPro, it can now run up to 12 cores processing power, and it will be available in August soon. Last but not least, LED Cinema Display is now available in 27″ model too.
It’s amazing when I look back now, DreamPlus Studio turning 6 next month! Until now, I am still grateful that I started DreamPlus Studio, and with the help and patient from so many people, I am able to pick things up bit by bit. I have started out with zero knowledge on IT and web, but today I can at least do up a simple site for people. Although it may not sound alot here, but at least for me I can tell people that I uses my own effort, knowledge and hands to do it.
I have also learnt that its very important for us to complete every little task we have, and by doing so we are on our way to complete something big in the future. We should not ignore things that may seem small or unimportant to us, in fact I think its good if we can tackle those little things first, before we think or do big.
Coming back to DreamPlus Studio, it has first started out as my portfolio site, later on becoming a freelance design firm, and today my personal blog, anything that I like to blog about design, IT, business and life matters. Be it good or bad, for the past few years, you should be able to see most of them under this blog. They are all very important to me as part of the learning and growing process. All along, I have been treating the blog as my own archives, so that when I reference back, it can serve as a reminder for myself. You might not know, it can be interesting to read through some of the things you have wrote for the past few years too.
From zero knowledge on web, to starting up a new company doing web. From having someone to take care of my everyday living, to taking care of myself today. There are simply too many things for me to learn, as my sis has told me there are certainly more challenges ahead to tackle.
If you ask me how long I can take this, I’m not sure. But as long I can live until tomorrow, I have the resources and people to help me along. I shall continue to pick myself up and realize the unimaginable future…
