Just added a PDF format book to my iBooks library in iPad, without syncing to iTunes or my Mac. Basically, no cable was used .

These days I feel so alone at work. No one to have lunch with, or talk to. So today I decided to have lunch at the work cafeteria with my new best friend … my iPad.
God, this device is making me read so much more than I used to! It’s got this mesmerizing effect that makes you want to read more and more.
I can’t believe that I’m almost done with Stephenie Meyer’s Breaking Dawn. This novel is like 800 pages yet I’m reading it so smoothly on my iPad wether on a desk, a couch, or lying in my bed. Not to mention the magazines I’m getting as soon as they hit the stands. Plus all the amazing apps for almost anything that you can think of. Top that all with internet browsing.
The iPad has successfully become my inseparable companion. It’s got some magic spill on me I swear!
You have to believe Apple when they say: it is a Magical Device!

I don’t know if I’m the only one who was completely clueless on how to multitask with the new iPhone OS 4.0!
I spent quite a long time thinking that the update did not go properly or something is wrong with my iPhone 3Gs, just to find out that I have to DOUBLE click the home button to multitask!
So for everyone who had their doubts like me ( I hope there are at least SOME of you, otherwise this will not be good for my ego!), the update is working fine.

As many of you may know, ABC network provides streaming of all the latest episodes of their TV shows directly from their website. Sadly, this is only available for people living in the United States. More precisely, having a US IP address.
I just came to know that I can do the same from Kuwait if I managed to setup a VPN.
Ok.
The only thing I know about VPN is that it stands for Virtual Private Network. That’s it!
All of these questions are going in my head right now:
I really want to do this and have no clue where to start.
I’m a Mac user.
I would appreciate any of you sharing his/her experience or knowledge. I want this so bad!

These days I seem to be getting more and more Telemarketing calls about special discount cards and stuff that I really don’t want to be bothered with.
I recently read an article in iPhone Life Magazine – February 2010 issue, about some iphone tips & tricks that not many people seem to know about.
One trick they called “Annoying Caller Alert”.
I’m not sure if this is specific to the iPhone only, but fact is the iPhone can save as much as 9 numbers under one single contact. So the trick is to create a contact that you call “Blocked” or “Do Not Answer” and save the number of any annoying telemarketing call you get and you never want to answer again.
Following the tip, I created a contact called “Yeah Right” and began saving the numbers of telemarketing companies that call me.
Now whenever this number calls, I will be like:
Yeah Right! As if I’m going to answer that!
I just found out that the old iPod Shuffle is no where to be seen in Kuwait and apparently they stopped producing it. I wanted the shuffle for the gym and the reason why I wanted the old one is because customer reviews on the new one are not much pleasing. Customers on Amazon complain that the controllers are not moisture proof and they break very easily. Also with the controllers being on the headset, it means that you can only use the iPod head set and when they break, you have to get the same ones.
Any hoo, I went to Jarir bookstore and ended up getting the purple 5th generation iPod nano 8GB for KD47.900. It’s extremely thin and of a perfect size for the gym. Now I have to look for something that hangs around my neck to carry it. I found the wrist armband at X-cite. Maybe I’ll end up getting that instead.
Jarir BookStore is located in Hawally Park, Tunis Street, Hawalli. Tel# 2261-0111
