Just like Michael Moore on the Republican. Just like Rush Limbaugh on the Democrats. Just Like Glen Beck on the Liberals. That’s what Ed Bott on Apple. Take what Bott says with a boulder of salt.

This is from today:

WordPress 3.1.2

Posted in Announcements, News, Resources, Security, Tech, Troubleshooting at 2:35 am by 37prime

WordPress 3.1.2 was out on Tuesday April 26th, 2011. If you are running your own WordPress installation, you should upgrade right away.

If I remembered it correctly starting with WordPress 3.2 requires PHP5 and mySQL 5.

Please do panic and abandon Apple.

Posted in Apple, iPad, iPhone, iPod, Media, News, Rants, Resources, Security, Tech, Troubleshooting at 3:20 pm by 37prime

Since everyone on the Internet is saying that Apple is definitely tracking your iOS movement, then it must be true. To make matter worse, Senator Al Franken (D-MN) and Representative Ed Markey (D-MA) have sent queries to Steve Jobs about this issue. Adding insults to the injuries, thousands if not infinite numbers of bloggers are busy wearing out their “C” and “V” keys reposting the story over and over again. Apple must be the bad guy, right?

What are you waiting for, its time to abandon Apple. Throw away your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Buy only Android/Windows Phone 7/webOS/Blackberry/etc. that is non Apple devices. Please do panic now.

In related news, Google captured your password while taking pictures of your house. Please do panic!

Please do panic!

I need to take classes in sarcasm.

Thank You Apple Genius and AppleCare.

On Monday October 11th, 2010 I was having problem with my iPhone 3GS which is also my primary phone. After losing all network connections, it rebooted and going into DFU mode. I tried reinstalling the latest iOS available for the iPhone 3GS but I kept getting a baseband error message. I spent quite a lot of time looking for a way to get the iPhone 3GS working again. Unfortunately I found out that the problem was hardware related.

Tuesday Afternoon, I tried installing the latest iOS available again. The same baseband problem persisted. So I called AppleCare for assistance. Unfortunately during the conversations with an AppleCare representative the phone connection was interrupted. I managed to set up an appointment at an Apple Store Genius Bar.

I arrived at the Apple Store Genius Bar a few hours later. Shortly after explaining the circumstance, the Apple Genius took down the iPhone 3GS serial number and told me the good news. I was getting a replacement for the iPhone 3GS. I also noticed on the Genius Bar Work Authorization & Service Confirmation sheet the informations I provided to the AppleCare representative a few hours earlier.

Within minutes I had an iPhone 3GS replacement in my hand.

I now have a working iPhone 3GS again. Thank You Apple Genius and AppleCare.

I really am grateful for the help from the Apple Genius for going out of his way to make sure I have my problems resolved.

Bad Nightly Build of WordPress.

Posted in Announcements, Applications, Apps, Media, News, Resources, Tech, Troubleshooting at 4:42 pm by 37prime

Just updated to the latest Nightly Build of WordPress today and it broke the Visual Editor. I could revert it back to the previous Nightly Build, but it’s going to take a while to do that.

I’m going to look if the bug has been reported.

Still Got The Rootkit Blues.

Posted in Announcements, Applications, Apps, Media, Microsoft, News, Resources, Security, Tech, Troubleshooting, Windows at 3:10 am by very

From time to time I’d get a call from acquaintances regarding their computers. Usually it’s about the viruses, trojans, worms, spywares, etc.

Well, this time it’s a Rootkit!

I know that the most effective way is to wipe the hard-drive clean and fresh-install Windows. I opted to clean the system to see what kinda damges done on this computer. Thanks to ComboFix author!

I’m going to fresh-install Windows later.

Yet another Hard-Drive might have gone bad.

Nothing brightens my day like seeing a Hard-Drive failing. That means I have to rescue the data.

Wait, did I say “brightens my day?”

I meant to say the opposite.

Yet another MacBook Pro Hard Drive Upgrade.

I picked up a Hitachi 500GB 7200RPM 2.5-inch hard drive at Fry’s Electronic earlier this week. After installing and configuring the system through FireWire I finally installed the hard drive on the MacBook Pro Core Duo.

On the similar note, I really need to get a new MacBook Pro.
