Mac OS

According to latest news sources, an Apple employee has lost an iPhone protoype in a bar; this time, thought to be an iPhone 5. Embarassingly, this is the second time Apple has lost a prototype - previously was the case of iPhone 4, which happened last year.

Four police officers, accompanied by two Apple employees, visited a home in San Francisco, led by the GPS technology through the device. Unfortunately, they found nothing.

Cupertino, California-based Apple began selling iPhone 4 last year and is expected to unveil the latest generation of iPhone 5 this year in September or October.

When it comes to purchasing software for further upgrades, people start to think about how Microsoft did it. There will be a new version for upgrade every year, and if you don't upgrade, you feel like you are being left behind in the race.

In a business model, software companies pile more features each time on every upgrade. This resulted in a chunk of source codes that do not run well and on top of that, a bloated operating system that eats into your hard disk size capacity. Microsoft Windows XP and Windows Vista are such typical examples.

This year, Apple released a new operating system - Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. Leopard, Mac OS X 10.5, was already a great operating system that is virus-free, nag-free and not copy-protected. The new version has a great hit - its price is only US$30!

Just found something nice about Mac OS X. If you are a user of Mac OS X (Pather and Leopard OS version), then you can try this during your free time - play Tetris in Terminal. This is how to get started:

1. Go to Applications > Utilities folder > click on Open Terminal.
2. Type "emacs" and wait for the screen to load.
3. Press "Esc" and type "x".
4. Finally, type "tetris" in lowercase characters.

The above steps will bring up the Tetris game in Windows. Simply use the arrow keys to control the falling blocks. Have fun!
