Setelah menunggu sekian lama (since 2010) dan menanti keluaran model terbaru, telah timbul rumour yang terkini mengatakan MacBook Air atau MBA akan mengeluarkan model terbaru selewat-lewatnya Julai nanti. Model terbaru itu yang akan datang bersama pakej Sandy Bridge processor dan Thunderbolt akan menawarkan pakej yang terkini dengan OS Lion.

Bagi aku yang last sekali membeli laptop lebih kurang 6 tahun yang lepas, ianya boleh dikatakan PASTI MBA menjadi gajet yang terbaru. Lebih-lebih lagi melihatkan kadar income tax yang melampau-lampau didermakan secara tak ikhlas kepada gomen setiap bulan. Bulan ni saja income tax aku mencecah hingga berbelas-belas K (dan mungkin FB cuti2 malaysia mungkin guna duit aku jugak tuh). At least kalau aku beli laptop, bolehlah juga melepasi kadar cukai sebanyak RM 3k itu.

Berbalik kepada MBA tuh, maybe aku hanya akan ambik 11″ version kerana memikirkan ‘mobility’ dan semahunya aku mahukan version ultimate walaupun bajet aku tidaklah setebal mana. Kalau tak dapat, aku mengharapkan version standard akan datang bersama 4G RAM dan sekurang-kurangkan 128 G storage. Kalau terpaksa dengan yang standard version pun macam keluaran lepas pun aku dah tak kisah sebenarnya.

So, buat masa sekarang, setiap malam aku menjenguk MacRumors.com  menantikan ada berita yang terbaru pasal MBA ni. Tak sabar rasanya (macam masa budak2 dulu nak tunggu raya jer rasanya nih)

 

 

 
Pity to us who is paying large sum of amount for what we called is Broadband but the connection is slower than tortoise movement.. A good article for sharing…

Malaysia was ranked a poor 48 out of 66 countries for Internet broadband quality in a study conducted by Oxford University and sponsored by Cisco.

The global study on broadband quality conducted by Oxford’s Said Business School listed Malaysia among countries which had Internet speeds which were “below today’s applications threshold.”

Malaysia is listed in the same category but above countries like the United Arab Emirates, Philippines, Pakistan, Morocco, Vietnam and Indonesia. China, Malta, Brazil and Thailand are among countries just ahead of Malaysia in broadband quality but still in the same low category.

Countries like Singapore, Britain, Australia, Spain, Turkey and the Ukraine were listed above Malaysia as having Internet speeds “meeting needs of today’s applications.”

Switzerland, the United States, Russia, Taiwan and Hong Kong “comfortably enjoy today’s applications. Crucially, Korea, Japan, Sweden, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Latvia, Netherlands, Denmark and Romania were identified as countries with broadband speeds that were “ready for tomorrow.”

The study was conducted between May and July this year and Broadband Quality Scores (BQS) were awarded based on 24 million records sourced from speed tests.

A similar study conducted last year established that download speeds of 3.75 Mbps and upload of 1 Mbps was the quality requirement needed for today’s applications such as social networking, video steaming, video chatting and file sharing.

For what was classified as “tomorrow’s requirements” speeds of 11.25 Mbps for downloads and 5 Mbps for uploads was needed for visual networking, HD video streaming, consumer telepresence, large file sharing and HD IPTV applications.

According to the study, the research team had found that broadband quality was linked to social and economic benefits and that countries with high broadband quality have broadband on their national agenda.

 

Better late than never.

I have spent a very melancholy Sunday night when found this in LOWYAT.Net .

from The Malaysian Insider;

Maxis will offer the iPhone 3G in Malaysia at a competitive price below RM1,000!!!

Can you believe it ? .. no.. you not ? …actually; me too but I’m still hopeful that MAXIS will clear this thing if this news was really-really untrue.

Actually me too has wanted this iPhone badly and would like to see iPhone to come to our shore – officially and not the ‘unlocked’ unit. As mentioned by many Apple  fans out there the current situation don’t seem be on our way, because (maybe)  before we could see an official launch here, we’ll first need an official Apple store – which we currently don’t have.

For your info,  there is a difference between iTunes Store and Apps Store, the store in Malaysia is Apps Store, not both iTunes Store + Apps Store, nation like Japan and US is iTunes Store and Apps Store, so they have both buying music/video and buying Applications.The Apps Store are made for both iPhone and iPod Touch, it doesnt have to be an iPhone to install the apps. If you look carefully, there are apps for iPod Touch too, and also there are even more nation which does not officially have iPhone on the Apps Store list too: China, Indonesia, Vietnam, Taiwan, Thailand (as listed in iTunes Store.

Like a thousand/hundred thousands out there, if Maxis does getting it in, it will be the greatest news for Malaysian who love to see how beautiful small and well crafted mobile gadget that we called iPhone.

BUT if not … then just go to LOWYAT and buy the Unlocked Unit which currently sell at RM4200.00 per unit.

FOR YOU WHO WANT TO SIGN A PETITION TO BRING iPHONE HERE IN MALAYSIA , THEN DON’T WASTE YOU TIME AND CLICK THIS LINK….
