Aperture 3 (1): A Dubious First Day
Database, Graham K. Rogers, Published on 03/03/2010
» Aperture 3, a long-awaited update, was released in early February with over 200 additional features. Aperture 2 had begun to creak and this worsened after the Snow Leopard update last year: a 32-bit application for professional photographers on a 64-bit operating system. As soon as the online store for Thailand was back online, I ordered my update, which arrived at my office on Monday morning. The update was 3,690 baht instead of 7,290 baht for the full version. After lunch, I opened the box.
Where did I put that thing?

» Finding stuff on today's huge hard drives is hard, and getting harder as the years go by. Even important files get mislaid, and locating that 2003 video of the sister-in-law's wedding is challenging at best.

» Is bigger really better in the computing world? As an example, I've chosen the latest iteration of Visual Studio, VS 2010. There has been a trend over successive versions of many software developers to add in everything they can think of in a new release.

Blame game

» If you can't say nee sua paa jorake, put it this way: Out of the frying pan into the fire; telecoms firms apart from the state duopoly definitely thought of fleeing the tiger only to meet the crocodile in the wake of the Supreme Court's decision on the Thaksin assets; the Court's finding that Shin Corp of Shingapore (and previously Thailand) profited from cabinet decisions during the Thaksin years appeared to have emboldened the government into claiming that your ToT and your CAT Telecom "lost" billions, and a total rewrite of concession and other agreements could be in the offing; that would only take Thai telecoms back into the 20th century, result in high new charges for consumers and make 3G mobile phone service a fantasy instead of a dream; legally, of course, putting a phone in the hands of every Thai has theoretically cost the state-owned firms a lot - except that the state-owned firms were (and are) incapable of meeting the needs of the country at any price; every other telecom firm has certainly profited in the past two decades, but then so have consumers; a return to strict regulations would mean a return to the days when it was illegal to own a modem or a Telex machine, and the only legal way to communicate was to rent equipment from the state.
Bigger than it seems

» In the most exciting technology news since the introduction of the T-Rex sensing alarm, Apple announced it will allow certain people to purchase an iPad on April 3 and thereafter for between $499 and $829, or roughly 17,000 to 28,000 baht in real money; unfortunately, you are not nearly privileged enough, by about 10,000 miles, or 16,000 kilometres in real distance; you meet the high standards of Apple's class consciousness if you live in North America (not counting Mexico), Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland, or the British Isles. Sony and Sony Ericsson pretended they did not leak or authorise news that they will release a new portable tablet device and a smart phone able to play PlayStation games, not that they are at all worried about the near monopoly of the markets by Apple; Sony has officially announced it is opening a download service that will so totally crush iTunes; it is called Qriocity, pronounced "curiosity" isn't that precious?
