Taiwan iPhone 3Gs Are SIM Unlocked Out-of-the-Box
Nice! I might have to pickup an unlocked iPhone in Taiwan
Now that the iPhone is on sale in Hong Kong and Taiwan unlocked, it shouldn’t be long before it goes on sale in China. And even if it doesn’t, I’m sure Apple won’t lose much sleep over it since all those unlocked phones will easily flow into iPhone buyers across China. With China and Taiwan having just started direct flights, this effectively becomes Apple’s proxy to the China market.

Madoff Scandal – How To Spot a Liar
After seeing reports of the Madoff Scandal, I immediately noticed something about Bernard Madoff that probably should have tipped people off.
The guy has a serious tick when he speaks. I believe this is his ‘tell’.
Watch the various videos of him and you’ll see his rather exaggerated ‘tick’ as he’s lying his ass off.

gOS, a good OS
Thanks to Parallels Desktop, I’m able to install a gOS virtual machine within my MacBook Air just to try it out. gOS was the operating system of choice when Walmart sold a cheap laptop for the masses. Some say it’s the “Google OS” because its applications and services are closely tied to Google. In reality, it is still a Linux OS, but bundled with a bunch of Google widgets.
It is considered a lightweight Linux distro, perfect for the trendy “netbooks” such as the Asus EEE and Acer Aspire. For gOS to even be remotely useful, it’d need a stable and reliable connection to the Internet so that it can access all the Google services and Web applications. For the everyday user, it is sufficient. Firefox, Skype, Pidgin IM client, OpenOffice, GIMP, etc. are all available to the user upon gOS installation.
If you have an old x86 system gathering dust, consider giving it new life with a lightweight Linux such as gOS, provided the system has networking capability.

Slingplayer Mac Update Offers Improved Streaming Video Quality, Online IDs, Aspect Ratio Toggling
Awesome, I love SlingBox. However, I’ve noticed that the Mac version of SlingPlayer has some streaming issues. The streams would always start out great start slowing down. This didn’t seem to be a problem at all with the Windows versions on much lesser hardware.
Hopefully, this SlingPlayer 1.0.7 will really improve the issues.

Solid.

I like people like Enderie, they give me a chance to buy AAPL on a discount. Seriously though, I think during a slowing spending environment I think Apple will be less affected than others.
