I heard that the iPhone 3G’s camera wasn’t all that wonderful. But I never knew it was that bad. If you actually need to take pictures, the iPhone 3G’s camera is totally a joke. You really need the iPhone 3G S upgrade. Here’s some side-by-side photo comparisons taken with the 3G and 3G S by Guy Kawasaki, one of my favourite writers.

I’m surprising myself by writing something about SAF PT shoes. But the new SAF New Balance shoes are pretty good, so it is something worthwhile to write about. It looks quite unique (in a good sense), and the mesh material that covers most of the shoes make the shoes very airy and comfortable to wear.

“Hello, world!” Baby #2 has been born today, two years, 2 months and 17 days after Vanessa. He seems to have a dark complexion just like Vanessa. He cried a fair bit more than Vanessa though. Not sure about his crying pattern after he returns from the nursery. Yes, it’s already 2 hours past the delivery, baby #2 hasn’t come out of the nursery yet.

I’ve been earning a small little sum of pocket money through Google Adsense on my blog. It’s a relatively steady flow, although also relatively small. The amount of work I put into my blog is also relatively little, of course, compared to my full time day job. I was just thinking about it, it I make blogging my full time job, would I earn enough from Google Adsense to pay me comparably to what I earn now from my day job?

Good photography skills are not so easy to come by. That’s why you have professional photographers.

But how about camera phone photographers? I think camera phone photography requires even more skills!

The new iPhone 3G S announced at WWDC earlier this month will be available in Singapore, of course. Like the case with the iPhone 3G, SingTel will be the exclusive carrier for the iPhone 3G S. The iPhone 3G S is said to be available from July 2009. It will not be SIM-locked, so you could buy the iPhone 3G S from SingTel, then switch to a M1 or StarHub SIM card.

Do you fancy Mac OS X on a Lenovo IdeaPad S10? The S10 is a nice cool-looking netbook, and Mac OS X is a nice cool operating system. The problem, of course, is that you could not legally buy Mac OS X to install in the Lenovo IdeaPad S10. That, however, has not stopped plenty of people all over the world from trying to install Mac OS X on their non-Apple hardware. See the photo? This netbook hackintosh is made “complete” with a genuine Apple sticker pasted on the cover!

It would happen again sooner or later. The front of my Honda Stream bumper got nicked by a curb that was just slightly too high, and now there is a streak of black plastic revealed in the front left corner of the bumper. Unlike the previous incident which scratched mostly just the underside of the bumper, this time around the scratch is slightly more obvious from the front.

I’m looking at the new Nokia N97 flagship smartphone. It seema like a worthy upgrade replacement for my existing Nokia N95 8GB. For a Mac OS X user, a big question is if there is an iSync plugin available for the N97? Or an easy hack of an existing plugin to use with the N97?
