WTOTW: Cancel Newsstand magazine subscription

I tried subscribing to a Newsstand magazine on my iPad for the first time the other day. Unfortunately I knew I wasn’t going to read the magazine regularly and it didn’t offer a yearly subscription option. Therefore I decided I had to cancel my subscription… BUT I couldn’t figure out how to do so.

Fortunately I found the answer after trawling the Apple discussion forums, so I’m detailing the steps here for anyone who may be wondering how to do so. Continue Reading

Fantastical vs Quickcal

I’ve been evaluating Fantastical and Quickcal side by side for the past week. I would have gone with the cheaper Quickcal, but Fantastical’s CALDAV syncing won me over. I might switch to Quickcal when they do add CALDAV syncing.

iTunes Store launches in Malaysia + other Asian countries

iTunes Malaysia with localized content

Woot! Woke up to some sweet news this morning. Apple has now expanded it’s iTunes Store to Asian countries including Malaysia. This means that we can buy music and movies legally, with our credit cards through the store. The content is localized too, featuring Modern Classics from Aaron Kwok, Leon Lai and Raihan

I’m glad that there’s now an easy avenue for Malaysians to get access to digital media legally, and hopefully local artists can take advantage of this too.

Microsoft Surface Tablet

I felt that I should add my 2 cents to the discussion about Microsoft’s Surface Tablet. I think it’s promising, and if anything should spur some competition. Hopefully. Otherwise I wouldn’t hold my breath. I remember when Windows 7 was so long delayed that I ended up not caring, and just enduring Windows Vista.  Continue Reading

Re-send an unread iMessage as a SMS

I really like Apple’s iMessage feature in iOS. Unfortunately it’s not as reliable as I would like it to be. Luckily for the times you need to make sure your message gets sent through, you can re-send it as a text message. Here’s how.

Send your iMessage. If its unread you can tap on it and a popover menu will appear with the option to Send as Text Message. Note that this only works when sending to mobile numbers, from your iMessage-enabled mobile number.

Steve Jobs
1955-2011

Dear Steve,

I’ve never met you in person, but I feel that I know you. You’ve influenced so many things around me – this MacBook which I’m typing on, my iPods, iPhones, and iPads. Zachary will grow up trying to manipulate objects on every screen he finds because of you. Continue Reading

Sorry I’m a little late, but Happy Birthday iPhone. It’s been 4 great years, we’ve been together for almost 3 years, and it’s been the best years of my life for mobile phones. My mobile phone history is now only known as Life before iPhone and Life after iPhone. I used to want to fiddle with every feature on my phone but now I’ve found all the features I need and contentment with you. I look forward to your new versions and if you continue to be awesome, know that I will stay loyal to you.
