A. J. Patrick Liszkiewicz was writing (via Daring Fireball) about Farmville: 1. “Farmville is not a good game. While (…) games offer a break from responsibility and routine, Farmville is defined by responsibility and routine.” 2. “(…) if Farmville is laborious to play and aesthetically boring, why are so many people playing it? The answer is disarmingly simple: people are playing Farmville because people are playing Farmville.” Well, no. Farmville is defined by responsibility and routine, yes; but what defines Farmville as a game is the special type of responsibility and routine!

I’m using my iPad only when my wife and daughter are both sound asleep, all my friends, my wife’s friends, my little daughter’s friends and (!) our common friends are gone. Not because I keep the device hidden, but because I don’t. So, there are some 3-6 people a day that are playing with the iPad; some of them are willing and may need to customize some of the apps and settings, but this customization is lost as the user switches.

In about 10 years from now, my daughter will be holding her iPhone 14 and will look at my iPhone 4 pictures saying: “How on Earth were they making them that bulky and sluggish?!”

Mobile / Techrunch: “The folks at iSuppli have found that iPhone 4, according to their estimates, cost $188 to make. While this is almost comically low, it says something about Apple’s ability to mass produce phones and the high margins they’re able to make on relatively low-cost products.” I’m really surprised to see such a point of view in an online tech publication… One friend of mine was saying the other day: “If somebody invents the Star Trek beaming machine out of two forks and half baked potato, there would be no way for this machine to be priced as the sum of its physical components; thinking this way it’s pure communism, to just equalize the price to the costs”.

This is nothing new; the other day Google was translating “free international calls” with “skype calls”. At least they appologized. Now FCC shows up on twitter saying this. What’s wrong with you, guys?! Are you all sleeping?!

“How could I call somebody if I have to keep it like this all the time…? Damn, I only bought the “magic”, not the phone, after all!”

Well, as AppleInsider and Macrumors have reported from their forum users, it seems the yellow stains on retina display are coming from a slow drying bonding agent. So, in couple of days it’ll dry and disappear. The whole problem came from quickening the delivery process whilst the devices were still “hot”. Don’t put them in the fridge, anyway!

Just a quick one: why isn’t Nokia making an app called “OVI store” and put it in AppStore…? I’m just thinking numbers here…

mdwsta4 from MacRumors managed to take these absolutely awesome pictures of his new “shiny” iPhone4. (courtesy to mdwsta4 )

Here is a detailed thread about reception issue on iPhone 4. And here is the issue: Besides the obvious solution – the bumper, I may suggest another one, more design-friendly: some Zagg cut strips all over metal antennas, but (!) separated in the black rubber places, where the antennas themselves get separated. The idea is this: the real issue is not touching the black separation strip between antennas, but short-circuiting the distinct antennas!

I was happy Nokia decided to improve noise reduction technology when the launch announced, but there I am playing with two units showing the same issue: the voice-out gets completely wiped or the callee experience very low volume voice. The noise cancellation should work this way: The main mic captures everything, voice louder the the ambient noise, being so close to the mouth; the secondary mic capture mainly ambient noise, being placed on the other end of the phone.

This is a very interesting point Mike Rundle is making over iPhone 4 signal loss while touched with the hands: “Perhaps always testing the iPhone 4 with those 3GS-looking cases masked engineers to the reception problems. Bumpers made to cover it up?” web • 6/24/10 3:53 (via @Flyosity, Twitter)
