Ok, this is not an ads. As you might know that the blog is under restructure and I’ve been finding ways to improve the user experiences. The blog has just rolled out the Guest Blogger feature which encourages bloggers to get their content published on TheAkiba. And while in the way of looking for better services on the web, I encountered some really cool sites which provide super premium services. And among one of them, Pandaform, an online form builder platform, was giving away their premium account for users.

The KeyNote just ended and it’s official, the new iPhone is not called iPhone 4g or HD but just simply and plain iPhone 4. There isn’t really anything new to report what the leaks from last few weeks have shown. The pictures posted on Gizmodo is actually the same as the one being released (maybe some minor tweaks but nothing severely noticeable). I’m not really surprised to be honest, all the information has already been leaked and that kind of killed the surprise. One thing that quite stood out was that those black lines on the sides of the iPhone is actually where the receivers are, like for WiFi and your phone carrier.

This comic is almost a year old, in internet time you could say it’s almost ancient. But I saw a PV about this comic on youtube today and was once again deeply moved by it. I had long forgotten about this comic since the first time I saw it but it’s so amazing. Breathtaking you could say. I just thought I’d share this for the unlucky few who have never seen or heard of this, shame on you =p.
