“No.” Sent from my iPhone

I think I’m going to use that from now on :P

Some Swedish dude sent Steve Jobs an email asking him about tethering…

I’ll quote the email from GIZMODO:

I’ll keep it short.

I’m Jezper from Sweden, a long time Apple fan, currently about to replace the very last computer at home with a brand spanking new iMac i7. I’m also awaiting the release of the iPad. However, I have one question:

Will the wifi-only version somehow support tethering thru my iPhone?

Two devices, based on the same OS, with already built-in technology to share one data plan suggests a secondary contract could possibly be redundant.

From the look of your keynote, where the iPad sits well between my MacBook Pro and my iPhone, I was hoping the three of them could interact as seamless as possible.

All the best,
Jezper Söderlund

Here’s Steve Jobs’ reply

No.

Sent from my iPhone

So from now on, whenever you want to use “No” as a definite answer, tag “Sent from my iPhone” at the end of your sentence :P

Ooooh! Shiny Keyboard!!

I hate the fact that it’s not not out yet -_-;

Look at it keyboard above!! It’s awesomely shiny!!

Anyway, I can safely consider this keyboard as a piece of art; futuristic looks, no keys or whatever (No need to worry about dusting it or thoroughly cleaning it up) and there’s some interesting technology in it as well…

This keyboard is made of backlights, force sensors, some new film stuffed somewhere inside.

Now I need a glass-looking computer case, glass looking screen, glass looking mouse, add some dancing LED lights somewhere in my room and it’ll be party tiem =D (NO! NOT PARTY IN MY TUMMY!!)

This shall end up in my “MUST HAVE” list… That I’ll need to create real soon

Light Peak

Well, USB 3.0 is around the corner and… Hold on one minute please…

“HEY USB!! I TOLD YOU TO KEEP LOOKING AT THE WALL IN THAT CORNER!! I WON’T LET GO OF YOU UNTIL YOU APOLOGIZE!!”

Anyway, as I was saying… USB 3.0 is around the corner and so is SATA/600. And now, INTEL is working on their new “Light Peak” concept that is literally some infrared lights pew-pewing through a long fibre-optic cable (Probably as long as longcat) with crap load of stuff you can attach from keyboards and mice to storage network devices.

This baby can do 10Gbps data transfer both ways at the same time (Just like a doggy-door) and can go up to 100Gbps with some controller upgrades.

According to INTEL, “Light Peak” would be ready to ship sometime during 2010.

Microsoft’s portable surface

Yes, Microsoft Surface can’t be installed anywhere due to cost and size. So Microsoft Research are coming up with an alternative solution.

To make things short, it’s a combination of a projector and a camera. Not the first to come up with this concept (Light Blue Optics was there first and this is almost identical to that), but it’s nice to know that Microsoft is researching things and expanding their interests.

I’m still waiting for their Screen Concept to be out in the market.

iPhone users can now Photoshop on the go

Russel brown (Photoshop co-creator ) recently asked Ansca mobile to recreate the original photoshop 1.0 from 1990 (wow Photoshop is older than me)

It took only three days to do so using the corona SDK.

“Planting spycams in bathrooms and dress-rooms” is old fashioned? Try “In students Macbooks”!!

Boy, I can imagine how things will turn out like if this happened in Kuwait =P

Long story short,

Some students in some high-school in USA noticed that their Macbook webcam’s green light is turning on and off randomly. So they’re suing the school for those perverted admins that peeks through the webcams remotely…

PEDOBEAR IS INNOCENT!! PEDOBEAR IS INNOCENT!!!

Now remember kids, not even OSX can protect you…
