Closer Look at iPhone

iphone closer look video demo
So will the iPhone changed the way we look at cell phone? Maybe. I don’t know what will happen while talking on your iPhone and your cheek “press” the “end call” button hehe.

Anyway, looking at the 4-minute video, I was really impressed with the album cover flipping and also the zooming in on the picture. He used 2 fingers and make an “enlarging” motion and the picture zoomed into the area.

I’m sure there are many more features but couldn’t be fitted into the short video.

10 Year Old Thieves Mastermind

It’s shocking to read about it - even more shocking it’s happening right in my backyard - in Penampang!

A 10-year-old boy has turned out to be the mastermind of a seven-member ring involved in a spate of thefts over the past 12 months.

The ring, comprising children aged between eight and 10, were allegedly involved in bicycle thefts, shoplifting, an assortment of minor theft cases and public mischief, in the Penampang district near here.

5 of them are the products of our government’s good plan in tackling the Filipino immigrants (by doing less) while the 2 are local. I bet you that the leader is the son of the Filipino refugee.

Think of what this kid, or others, can become 10 years from now when he’s 20. He can be a contract killer or leader of the underground mob.

Souvenir Photos

A traveller and avid photographer has a creative way of taking souvenir shots at popular places. The ingredient for his trick is a small object that’s somehow related to the place and a steady hand.

See below for an example.

Make your own Optimus Prime

optimus prime

Can’t afford the expensive toy action figure? Here’s your chance to create your *own* Optimus Prime - only it’s made of paper.

Eh what? Who’s Optimus Prime?

Only the great leader of the Autobots in protecting the Earth and Cybertron of the evil decepticons! Oh yeah, he’s a truck too.

Prime has been one of the most recognizable characters from the transformers cartoon series. How much respect does Prime gets from the reality world? What about a 40-foot statue? Oh yeah, there’s a U.S. Army Ohio National Guard named Optimus Prime (he changed his name legally).

Anyway, you can download the instructions from the following link.
