it’s a playable logo, catch it before it’s gone!

reached home earlier today, and heard over the tv that honourable Dr Goh Keng Swee had passed away. for some reason i felt sad to hear that. In any case, let’s have a quiet moment for Dr Fix-It and my deepest condolences to his family.

finally, untethered jailbreak for iphone 3.1.3 and possibly near future os versions as well.

pardon me but this is gonna be a long post.
sometime back, i ordered 2 iphone casings from 4voi.com and the package arrived yesterday! changed to the new casing immediately as my previous one was already loose.

at a glance, the product is nicely packaged, comes with a lanyard and there’s 4 colours to choose from. i bought 2 colours, (obsidian black and fireside red) to mix and match.

to my delight, upon tearing off the sealed envelope i saw 3 casing inside! for a moment i thought i had ordered an extra one, but after some “careful” rummaging, there was a note stating that the extra casing (phantom mist white) is complimentary, along with 2 screen protectors and 2 cleaning cloth. wow!

the case itself feels solid with the axent ring snap-on and yet it doesn’t scratch the iphone. meticulous thoughts were spent on the product design to protect the casing’s lcd as well as the lanyard attached just in case the iphone slips away from your hands. if you like, you can remove the lanyard too. inside the case, there’s a piece of velvet cloth that protects the iphone from scratching against the case itself. this is something that i had never seen on majority of the hardshell casing out there. the overall design of the case fits the phone tightly in an elegant manner. the simplicity of the case brings out the flavour of the iphone even more.

with these fine features at US$25 per piece, it’s already a steal! mine came with screen protectors and mind you, they are not the usual piece of plastic out there in the market. it’s matte surface and significantly reduced the glare on the iphone. the texture on the screen protector gives a different feel and doesn’t attract fingerprints compared to the other ones i’ve tried.

i dun do product reviews but the people at encipient, llc are so kind to give me a free case that i find it hard not to help them spread the word a bit. as far as i know, this casing is not available locally here in singapore, so the only way to obtain the product is via online thru their website.

encountered a road bully just within 5 minutes after entering into jb. we were queuing up slowly due to the traffic light turning red and all of a sudden a freaking car came out of nowhere and trying to cut in front of me from my right hand side.

he was very close to our car, probably some 1-2cm away and continuing to revving the engine hard as though getting ready to move as soon as the light turns green. as i was shocked from his unexpected appearance and sticking very close to our right side, i flashed my high beam, indicating my presence.

lol, what happened next was kinda drama. the light turns green, he moved in front of me and braked hard, but still revving his engine hard. luckily i wasn’t stepping on gas and just moving slowly. so i stopped. seeing that i stopped, he moved a little in front and i followed. then he jammed brake again. this time wound down the windscreen and lifted his hands out. we went, “huh, what’s that? he’s a crazy one, let’s ignore him and move slowly.”

it went on for another few times when eventually we came to a junction. i needed to turn right but i made my car looked like wanting to turn left. being in front of me, that car went ahead turning left and tried to jam brake again, but of course, i had steered to the right the very moment he turned left. as we cruised past him, he wound down the windscreen again and showed his hands. only this time we can see that he’s showing us his middle finger. lol.

all i can say is, there are suckers who think they can bully singaporean-plate cars. bet he doesn’t even know i’m holding the same IC colour as he does. lol.
