iPhone 3G

Before I bought the iPhone 3G , I knew it was suck. After I bought the iPhone 3G, I see it is really suck, technically. It is not quite different from iPod Touch except a camera and phone function. Yet the prices are ~HK$6,000 and ~HK$2,000 respectively. The camera's resolution is only 2 million pixels. That is below the minimum requirement of 3 million pixels for typical digital camera. Bluetooth does not support A2DP and FTP. You can't use stereo headphones and file transfer amongst phones. AM/FM radio, which is common in HK, is not supported. The OS does not support multi-tasking.

The Day After Tomorrow

The Day After Tomorrow is a sci-fic movie about Global Warming. In the movie, Global Warming changed the weather and cracked polar ice shelves. The melting of icebergs disrupted the ocean current, as a result, the temperature dropped down rapidly and the world went to Ice Age. The above is the plot of the sci-fic, yet the same plot happens in the reality. It happens not in the real world, but the financial world. Because of the financial crisis (or so-called Financial Tsunami) due to overexpansion of loans and derivatives, banks restrict their loan applications and cut companies' overdrafts. Therefore, many companies, especially for SME, suffer from capital turnover trouble. It leads weaker companies to bankrupt and the bankruptcy makes others worse as a domino effect. Perhaps we have entered the ice age of finance or another Great Depression.

重陽待旦 莫煩快艇摩托聲,且靜深呼倚窗邊 濁浪洶濤濤不斷,飛光倒映映相纏 百歲橋頭無船渡,兩袖清風有誰憐 漫漫長夜今又亮,還望明日是青天 屯門碼頭 Tuen Mun Pier@3am
