iPhone. Therefore I am.

A friend was very surprised that I bought an iPhone. I bought a Nokia N95 8GB and one of the key reasons was the 5 Megapixel camera

Compared to that, iPhone camera resolution is just 2 and out of the box, there is no option to record videos. I still do not know how to record videos.. But it does not matter _so_ much now!

The apps more than make up for this missing feature!

Most of the iPhone Ads end with “Solving Life’s Dilemmas one app at a time”

The Nokia N95 GB was not one of the first answers for “When your house is on fire..” scenario. The iPhone is

The iPhone and many of the apps are awesome and inspiring..

In Hard Work and Practice in Programming, Tim O’Reilly writes

There’s a long arc in computing that teaches us how much we gain through advances in ease-of-use, with the iPhone being the latest breakthrough success. But it’s important to remember how much we lose when we think that ease of use is everything. Many things worth doing are hard, requiring a great deal of practice before you achieve mastery.

The iPhone inspires me to achieve mastery in many areas :-)

“So,” he [Obama] said. “What’s your theory on speechwriting?”

“A speech can broaden the circle of people who care about this stuff,” Favreau said. “How do you say to the average person that’s been hurting: ‘I hear you. I’m there. Even though you’ve been so disappointed and cynical about politics in the past, and with good reason, we can move in the right direction. Just give me a chance.’ ”

“I think this is going to work,” Obama said.

Sunday, November 30th, 2008

Bought an iPhone in Singapore from SingTel

Wanted to experience the sound quality.. and Pressed iPod

-> No Content. You can download content from iTunes

Pressed iTunes

-> Cannot Connect to the iTunes Store – The iTunes Store is not supported in this country.

Is it too much from Apple to show only icons of apps that work in Singapore

The camera feature works

Am still searching for the option to record videos?

Still wondering if I upgraded or downgraded from Nokia N95 8GB to Apple iPhone 3G..

An Idea for The Gmail “New Label” Interface

Saturday, April 12th, 2008

Dear Gmail

I have created lot of labels and one of them is xyz

Am looking at a mail and I want to label it xyz

There are 2 situations: Either
1) I do not remember that I created xyz or
2) Am lazy to scroll down the list of labels to look for xyz

Due to the above reasons, I click on “new label”

The pop-up is “Please enter a new label name”

I enter “xyz”

The message is “The label name you have chosen already exists. Please try another name:”

Oops. Why can’t Gmail accept this label and say

“Dear Kishore. You were lazy to select the label that already existed. I assigned the existing label. Have a nice day. Wish you a lazy day:-)”
