Sources speculated to FoxNews on Monday that Apple’s January 27 event will include three things: A tablet, iPhone OS 4.0, and iLife 2010. According to the network, a rumored fourth-generation iPhone will not be part of the event, contradicting Korean’s market sources claiming that an improved iPhone will launch during April/May rather than the usual June/July timeframe due to the supposedly strong pressure from Google’s Nexus One.

Got this from a forwared mail from my office manager. just wanted to share

A father passing by his son’s bedroom was astonished to see that his bed was nicely made and everything was picked up. Then he saw an Envelope, propped up prominently on the pillow that was addressed to ‘Dad.’

With the worst premonition he opened the envelope with trembling hands and read the letter.

Dear Dad:

It is with great regret and sorrow that I’m writing you. I had to elope with my new girlfriend because I wanted to avoid a scene with Mom and you.

I have been finding real passion with Stacy and she is so nice.

But I knew you would not approve of her because of all her piercing, tattoos, tight motorcycle clothes and the fact that she is much older than I am. But it’ s not only the passion…Dad she’s pregnant.

Stacy said that we will be very happy.

She owns a trailer in the woods and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter. We share a dream of having many more children.

Stacy has opened my eyes to the fact that marijuana doesn’t really hurt anyone. We’ll be growing it for ourselves and trading it with the other people that live nearby for cocaine and ecstasy.

In the meantime we will pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so Stacy can get better. She deserves it.

Don’t worry Dad. I’m 15 and I know how to take care of myself.

Someday I’m sure that we will be back to visit so that you can get to know your grandchildren.

Love, Your Son John

PS. Dad, none of the above is true. I’m over at Tommy’s house.

I Just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than a Report card That’s in my center desk drawer.

I love you.

Call me when it’s safe to come home.

well parents need a beer ?

The ikee worm has spread to jailbroken iPhones in Australia running SSH with the default root password. Follow the steps below to remove all ikee code and prevent Rick Astley from reappearing on your lock screen:

For known variants A, B or C

1. Run the Terminal app.
2. Enter each of the following commands followed by “return” to remove these files.

rm /var/lock/bbot.lock
rm /var/log/youcanbeclosertogod.jpg
rm /var/mobile/LockBackground.jpg

3. Reboot your iPhone.
4. Reinstall the SSH package from Cydia.
5. Follow these instructions to change your default root password and prevent reinfection!

For known variant D

1. Run the Terminal app.
2. Enter each of the following commands followed by “return” to remove these files.

rm /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.saurik.Cydia.Startup.plist

This long weekend, seems to be a pleasant one for me, even though I’m having this bad fever and cold, i had some time to be away from writing CODES for softwares and websites.  this morning i was supprised when merill twitted about Connectify.

Connectify.me is a new service that allows us to transform any windows 7 computer in to a wireless router? hard to believe isn’t it? but yeah it does.i was able to install the app with few clicks, and the wireless device was quite literally up and running in few seconds. actually I’m writing this blog post from my cousins laptop connected to the connectify service through my pc .

Installation is very simple :

1. go to connectify.me
2. download the exe file.
3. install.
4. click on notification tray and enter a network name, and password.
5. thats all. expecting more eh?? but thats all. you are up and running.

Connectify runs on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 r2. thanks for MS for Windows 7 and to the folks at connectify . cheers, have a great weekend.

Microsoft is trying hard to rebrand Windows Mobile as Windows Phone with the launch of WinMo 6.5, but this commercial — labeled with AT&T logos in the US but also running unlabeled worldwide — doesn’t seem to do a good job of pointing out that Windows Phone is a platform and not a device. In fact, if we didn’t know better, we’d think that the HTC Pure is, in fact, the “Windows Phone” — even though the dude in the spot is holding a totally different generic device. See how that could be weird for people? It’s almost confusing enough to distract from the jubilant anthropomorphic app icons in tights. Video after the break.

Ok, i’ve heard alot of people talking about DROPBOX. well i was like what is this all about ? another rapidshare like filehosting or what?, and kept the thing bookmarked few weeks ago to look back when i get some free time. but unfortunately untill this morning i couldnt look at it.

but the first thing i did today was going through DROPBOX site.   wow i think i like it , if you often use filesharing services like rapidshare, megaupload , drop box would be a fresh air to you. just try it its cool and useful.

A popular motivational speaker was entertaining his Audience. He Said: “The best years of my life were spent in the arms of a woman who wasn’t my wife!”

The audience was in silence and shock. The speaker added: “And that woman was my mother!”

Laughter and Applause!!!
A week later, a top manager trained by the Motivational speaker tried to crack this very effective joke At home. He was a bit foggy after a drink. He said loudly to His wife who was preparing dinner, “The greatest years of my life were spent in the arms of a woman who was not my Wife!”

The wife went; “ahhhh!” with shock and rage.

Standing there for 20 seconds trying to recall the second Half of the joke, the manager finally blurted out “…and I can’t remember who she was!”

By the time the manager regained his consciousness, he was on a hospital bed nursing burns from boiling water.

Moral of the story…
Don’t Copy if you can’t PASTE
