Anything Under The Sun

Recently, Apple announced the launch of its latest operating system for iPhones, named iPhone OS 4. As the newest iteration, expectations naturally run high compared to its predecessors. Reports suggest that the new OS enhances app performance, allowing them to run more efficiently. A notable pride of this update is its multitasking feature. However, despite the advancements in the iPhone OS, users should temper their expectations regarding Flash applications, as they are not supported. Could this be considered a potential flaw in the development of the new OS? A clear statement in section 3.3.1 of the iPhone Developer Program License Agreement sheds light on this matter: Applications may only use Documented APIs in the manner prescribed by Apple and must not use or call any private APIs. Applications must be originally written in Objective-C, C, C++, or JavaScript as executed by the iPhone OS WebKit engine, and only code written in C, C++, and Objective-C may compile and directly link against the Documented APIs (e.g., Applications that link to Documented APIs through an intermediary translation or compatibility layer or tool are prohibited). If this is indeed the case, it is reasonable not to anticipate Flash support in Apple's newly released OS—iPhone OS 4.

We have known Apple for its releases of Macintosh computers, iPods and iPhones. Now it is releasing its newest operating system for iPhones that is iPhone OS 4.

This new release of OS may act as a pancake in the market as millions of iPhone units have been sold out and a lot of iPhone users are surfing the net for new apps. It is said that this newest OS release of Apple is boasting its multitasking feature. Yes, most of the features in the OS version this newby OS followed can still be found but lots of enhancement will surely be conceived.

As I read articles about this new OS4 of iPhone, the CEO of Apple stated that this one has an aide to run apps faster. If that's the case, iPhone users will be that excited to explore the new released OS. Not only this, there's more... it has been said that optical zoom feature in camera also improved. What a really wow!

Apple really knows how to tickle the consumers. Well, that's it!... as long the consumers get satisfaction with the product and services the market will go 24-7 in business and will keep running to give benefits both to the consumers and the suppliers.

Whether you're an experienced drummer or a novice, the seemingly minor details play a significant role in the success of your jamming session, and one of these crucial factors is selecting the right drumstick. Drumsticks come in various types, catering to personal preferences and drumming styles. They differ in size, weight, and structure, offering a wide array of choices. Some sticks feature nylon or plastic tips, while others boast engraved wooden tips. Personally, I favor sticks with plastic tips, providing better control over the desired tone, especially when striking cymbals or performing rudiments (which I'll delve into in upcoming articles). On the market, you'll also find sticks without engraved tips, ideal for electronic drums. While experimenting with these on a traditional drum set, I enjoyed my drumming but encountered challenges with drum rolls and certain exhibitions or beat adlibs. Considering the distribution of mass, or the "weight" of a stick, is another crucial aspect. I've observed that heavier sticks are more suitable for genres like heavy metal or those requiring rapid beats. Personally, I lean towards long, thin, yet heavy sticks, as they align with my playing style. Drumstick brands also offer a diverse range of options, including Vater, Sabian, Zildjian, Stunner, Silverfox, and more. However, my preference lies with Vic Firth drumsticks. Paying meticulous attention to the drumstick's characteristics reflects your sensitivity to the sounds you produce while playing. It also indicates the development of your skill. Choosing a drumstick is not merely about its design but about selecting a high-quality tool that enhances your drumming experience. In essence, a drumstick is not just a stick—it's an essential, distinctive tool in the art of drumming.
