iPhone 4 - Adobe Flash Player

There are some rumours that apple Inc might be allowing it's idevices to support adobe flash player.
I can tell you guys that rumours will only remain as a rumour. I am very confident that apple Inc will not allow flash player into it's devices unless Steve Jobs passed away and the shareholders of apple decided to allow flash player.
Steve Jobs have his very own reason on why flash player is not allowed on the idevices.
You can read his reasonshere.

The reason is quite long, so I will quote out a short summary of it here for those lazy peoples :)
I will only quote the few important reasons. For a more detailed reason, please click here.

To achieve long battery life when playing video, mobile devices must decode the video in hardware; decoding it in software uses too much power. Many of the chips used in modern mobile devices contain a decoder called H.264 – an industry standard that is used in every Blu-ray DVD player and has been adopted by Apple, Google (YouTube), Vimeo, Netflix and many other companies.
Although Flash has recently added support for H.264, the video on almost all Flash websites currently requires an older generation decoder that is not implemented in mobile chips and must be run in software. The difference is striking: on an iPhone, for example, H.264 videos play for up to 10 hours, while videos decoded in software play for less than 5 hours before the battery is fully drained.

Symantec recently highlighted Flash for having one of the worst security records in 2009. We also know first hand that Flash is the number one reason Macs crash. We have been working with Adobe to fix these problems, but they have persisted for several years now. We don’t want to reduce the reliability and security of our iPhones, iPods and iPads by adding Flash.

Flash was created during the PC era – for PCs and mice. Flash is a successful business for Adobe, and we can understand why they want to push it beyond PCs. But the mobile era is about low power devices, touch interfaces and open web standards – all areas where Flash falls short.

The avalanche of media outlets offering their content for Apple’s mobile devices demonstrates that Flash is no longer necessary to watch video or consume any kind of web content. And the 250,000 apps on Apple’s App Store proves that Flash isn’t necessary for tens of thousands of developers to create graphically rich applications, including games.

-------------------------------------------------------

Even though the important points are already stated, it is recommended that you guys still read the full review just in case it missed out some points.
I feel that Steve Jobs disapprove flash player in iPhone is to ensure that the iPhones run smooth and not crash like the macs. So he is helping us to have a powerful phone :)
For those who want to watch flash videos, I will recommad you this app called "Skyfire" which can be purchased from the app store at only USD$2.99 (SGD$5). Basically, the app is a browser that will auto detect a flash video and convert it to a format that iPhone uses so the video can be played. (if the app fail to work on your device, I will not be responsible)

iPhone 4 - Jail breaking

For the past few months, my Samsung Galaxy S started to lag very badly and I got very frustrated. I went around asking my friends if their handphone lags and I found out that most of their smartphone does lag. The only phone with no lag issue so far is the apple iPhone 4. So I saved up my CNY money and purchased an iPhone 4 2 weeks ago and I am very pleased with it. There's completely no lags at all.
Apple has very strict security so as to ensure their idevices do not get infected with viruses or crash. So due to this tight security issue, iPhone can only download things from the apple apps store. Most people may find it quite irritating because they cannot download free apps and songs. But I personally feel that it is a brilliant idea that Steve Jobs came up with. By preventing any unauthorize applications onto the iPhone, the iPhone will be immune to many kinds of viruses which will keep the phone very safe. This is the reason why iPhone does not lag/crash.
But most people now are considering jailbreaking their iPhone 4. Here are my opinions about jailbreaking it :

Advantages :
You get to download all kinds of stuffs from the web including free apps and non-approve iPhone apps. You get more control over your phone and can customize your settings more. So we get to save our money as we do not need to purchase any apps.

Disadvantages :
Remember, downloading paid apps for free is illegal! When you jailbreak your iPhone, your iPhone's security is being pulled down. This is the reason why you can download free apps on the web. When the security is down, your phone is prone to viruses. One small mistake (download a game / enters a website with virus), there goes your phone. Your iPhone will start lagging badly or may even crash! Bear in mind that some virus is so strong that it can damage your iPhone and factory reset may not even work.

So I feel that it is best not to jailbreak your iPhone. Is it worth it to download free games and "open" your iPhone up to viruses? Most iPhone top games are only USD$0.99 (SGD$1.30). Is it worth it when the virus attacks your iPhone and it canny function properly anymore? Remember that iPhone is no lag because of it's tight security.
So please think carefully before jailbreaking your iPhone.

Late for school

It was the first time ever this year I was late for school. And I had a very good reason which is that last night there was a power trip in my house and the whole house's digital alarm clock was reseted. So the alarm clock did not ring at 6.30am, resulting in me waking up at 7.10am and reaching school 1 minute late. So, Mr Raj (School's operation manager) asked me the reason why was I late. So I told him the TRUTH, and this was his reply : "Telling me such a common excuse and expecting me to believe it?" (He said something like this). His deficient speech made me feel like skinning him alive >:(
And there was something that made me wonder if the school is biased. The school often check on late comers bag for prohibited items (hand phones, cigarettes, drugs, ect). They do not even bother to check the bags of those students that come to school on time. I can tell that more than 85% of the students in the school brings their hand phones to school daily. By only checking on the late comer's bag, are they trying to tell us that if we come to school on time, we can bring prohibited items to school? So in the future, all drug traffickers can get away scott-free as long as they come to school on time? I feel that the school should be fair by having this term "One for all, all for one". If they want to check our school bags, check EVERYONE's school bags, if they are lazy to check, then don't check at all. The school will say that they only check on late comer's bag as it is a "Punishment" for late comers, but I will say that it is "Laziness" of the school. This act by the school shows us how lazy this school is to check all of our bags right?

Biology

Mr Justin Lee said that because our bio class is the last class in the school, we might be using the computer lab more often. And so, last Monday and today we used the computer lab for our after school bio class. Mr Lee told us that there was a rumour that his bio class is not very good. Several of my friends and I really wonder who would spread that rumour. In my opinion, Mr Lee's bio class is one of the best pure science lesson I have this year, compared to pure physics and pure chem. Hopefully this stinking rumour stops :-)
Something interesting happened today in bio class. Everyone turned up for class except Sean. Mr Lee was all worried about Sean and what would happen to him. ( He turned up for school today ). We were all laughing our hearts out when we imagine the reason why Sean is not here. It turned out that the reason why Sean was late for bio is that he spoke to Mr Benny Low in the canteen. By the time he came up to the lab, 5 mins of lesson was left...
Today's biology lesson was fun and I wish we can use the computer lab every lesson :-)

My final words as a 6A student

Primary 6A is the best primary school class I have ever gone to even though we study alot.
When I first stepped into primary 6A, my parents do not allow me to play the computer even though the PSLE is still far away.
Now the PSLE are finally over and I can play the computer almost everyday!
But I am still not very happy.
Why???
I am going to leave this school and go to a secondary school.
Am I going to get a good results for my PSLE?
Or am I going to fail?
Now, I can only let time pass and hope I get a good results for my PLSE............

1 thing I will remember about this year

1 thing I will remember this year is the Primary 6 injection that i took on Monday 7/4/08.
Before the injection, I was so nervous that I have a stomachache! In the first station, the nurse check our eye sight.When I took off my spectacle. I cannot even see the first letter that the nurse showed me! I am not going to say about the next station!™ After this station, here comes the nightmare injection!I least I did not cry during the injection:)
That is the 1 thing I will remember this year!
