apple ads

Went to apple just now and saw some interesting ads. I always love the ads from apple, clean and tidy, and most important, always being sarcastic.

If you interested, you can watch the iPod’s ads here and all old ads from apple here.

At first I thought I must be given a second quality iPod as I got it free. Then I realized Benji’s iPod was having the same problem and solved it. He was so smart, what he did was to let the iPod’s battery dried out, and it took at least 10 hours. I didn’t bother to wait for 10 hours and the manual was at no-where. I thought there must be some way out.

So I search around the web and found the solution, and it was simple as 123.

  1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
  2. Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.

Problem solved! Still not sure how to do it? Nevermind, you can watch it in action!

I haven’t get my mac yet but I always keep an eye on most of the news regarding Apple’s.

Found two (one, actually) interesting websites today, Open Source Mac and Open Source Windows. Hope you find it useful.

Free and open-source software is good for you and for the world. This is the best Windows software that we know of.
No adware, no spyware, just good software.
