Always irks me that the Mac OS X, iPhone and now iPad thinks that Singaporeans start their week on Sunday instead of Monday. I was finally motivated enough to submit a bug report last week, and in less than 2 days I received a reply from Apple for a followup on the issue. Pretty impressive [...]

“Ridiculous” to optimise sites for iPhone
Rob Haggart of the blog A Photo Editor and professional photography portfolio software A Photo Folio, wrote in 2008: A reader asked me awhile back about optimizing websites for the iPhone which I immediately dismissed as ridiculous and then, what do you know, I was out of the office later that day and tried to [...]

UOB and Mobile Internet Banking
Just last month, DBS/POSB finally removed Java from its iBanking site, thus allowing iPhone/iPod Touch users to connect directly to their iBanking site from Safari. And this month, it rolled out its own iPhone app for DBS and POSB mobile banking. I tried out the POSB app, and it’s really good. For those of you [...]

Aperture 3: I’ll Pass
No tethering support for Canon 5D2, or for that matter, any Canon cameras newer than the 350D. Even the inelegant workaround, the Hot Folder Import Script doesn’t work.

The other reason why I stop buying PCs custom made from Sim Lim is because no one wants to honour the warranty when things go wrong. It’s pretty much the same deal with Google’s Nexus One. Oh, it’s a hardware problem, go to HTC; HTC says no it’s a software problem, go to Google.

Predictably, my Leopard copy of Saft no longer works on Snow Leopard. A new version was released today but it does not support native 64-bit mode Safari under Snow Leopard. There’s currently no upgrade option for Leopard users to Snow Leopard versions of Saft, and I’m not keen on paying the full US$15 for a [...]
Signs of bad Mac software
Follow up to my previous post on tell-tale signs of bad Mac software before you even use it. Five minutes into using Canon Digital Photo Professional (DPP), converting some RAW files into JPEGs and TIFFs, I saw this dialog that I had no idea how to close. On most sane Mac software, I could have [...]

Signs of bad Mac software (before you even use it)
I’ve been avoiding the Canon provided software suite, including the Digital Photo Professional (DPP), like a plague. I’ve seen how my friend struggled with the interface, and It always seem like a piece of unpolished software. Today I decided to install it to compare the RAW outputs with Lightroom. True enough, even before I get [...]
