Last week Yes 4G released a revolutionary application for iOS devices that they promise will change the way we use our iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. Yes Life iOS App is their latest innovation which allows iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch users to make & receive calls, SMS, call from oversea at a low IDD rates, plus enjoy no roaming charges (3G data charges may apply) while abroad.

The reason I say it’s revolutionary is because previously we can only use Yes 4G service on PC via Yes Life PC version and on 4 specific Yes devices namely Yes Buzz, Yes Go, Yes Huddle and Yes Zoom. Now with the new Yes Life iOS app we can even enjoy the 4G network using our iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch!

Yes 4G network is run on a SIM-less architecture that is utilizing unique IDs and does not require a SIM card. So, we just need to install Yes Life app on our iOS device and sign up a unique Yes ID then we are good to go. A 018 phone number will be given during the signup process as well.

By running Yes Life iOS app, we can have 2 phone numbers on the iPhone, one is the phone number on the SIM card and another will be Yes 4G’s 018 number. Besides, Yes Life iOS app transforms the iPad, iPad2 or iPod touch into a mobile phone, which we can make/receive calls and SMS on all these devices.

Did you see it coming? I would say this is the most anticipated product that I have been waiting for in these few years. This piece of exciting news just arrived after 10 months since Google Chrome Web Browser was released last year.

Most of the Operating System (OS) we are using today were designed and development prior to the Internet era. Google Development Team realizes this and is aiming to produce an OS for people who are relying on the web (Btw, who doesn’t?). Besides, they are also smart enough to sense that netbook is the new trend right now. Therefore, Google Chrome Operating System is designed for the web and will be initially used on netbook.

Below are some highlights of Google Chrome Operating System :-

• Open source – Like many of the Unix-based OS, it offers accessibility to its source code
• Lightweight – Less complicated, fast and easy to use
• Runs on x86 Computer Architecture – Meaning it runs on the same PC you are running Windows, Mac, Linux, etc, as well
• Secure – The security architecture of the OS was completely redesigned so that it’s virus, malware and security update free

The OS is scheduled to be available for consumers in the second half of 2010. I just can’t wait to see it!

I just upgraded this blog to the latest WordPress (WP) 2.8, which was just released a couple hours ago. This latest version is named after the late Chet Baker, a famous trumpeter and vocalist in the 1950s.

There are not many changes in the layout and design in WP2.8 as compared to its predecessor WP2.7.1. However, WP 2.8 fixed over 790 bugs and improved themes, widgets, taxonomies, and its overall speed. This is the main reason I upgraded the blog immediately after it was released.

Below are the major improvements worth mentioning :-

• Browse the entire theme directory and install theme with one click
• CodePress editor – for people who likes to tweaks themes or plugins as it provides syntax highlighting
• Widgets interface redesigned – edit widget on the fly, drag & drop widget, duplicate widgets, etc.
• New Screen Options on every page in Dashboard – better customization by allowing you flexibility to arrange items showing on each page

Visit the link for the all the new features on WordPress 2.8. I’m so impressed with all the hard work the development team has put into this latest version.

For those who are using the older version, it’s time to upgrade your blog. Cheers! :D
