Yesterday, our MacBookPro finally delivered to our office. This is our first Mac. Because this is for iOS application and to be one of our AdvGen staff computer, that is not for myself. I am not very exited about that. But the Apple pays attention to details in packing. This looks a presents.

That looks a gift from Apple. The whole computer is wrapped by a thin plastic. Moreover, I need to pull on the middle of plastic wrap to open it up! So cool!

In addition, this is a basic model. It has a 4GB RAM with i7 2.3GHz, but the performance is not bad.
I am quite happy about it.

Windows 8 is released for about a month. Moreover, there is a new version of Visual Studio for Windows 8. But I have a few amount codes in WPF and Winforms. I will be still with these projects for a little while. Moreover, nowadays, the trend is moving toward web apps and mobile apps. That is the reason, I put rest of my effort to build asp.net websites and android app. Get myself into Metro UI app is not very attractive unless Windows 8 is more popular in the tablet market. Thus, I will stay in visual studio 2010 for a little while.

Agile Development Method has its standard procedures, such as story board, stand-up meetings. Please do not be rigid on standard procedures. Each development team has its culture, each team member has his/her characters. If the procedures do not fit with the team, please do not mind to change them. I believe each team has their "adapted" version of Agile Development Method. There is not a set of standard procedures can fit for every team. We should only stick on the principles. Agile is to make the development process being "lighter" and being able to response the changes of requirements.

I found the cost of traditional Online PPC Advertisement is increasing. That is because more people are using Online PPC Advertisement, therefore more people are getting in the bid of keywords. Well, even I said that costs more, that is much cheaper than other traditional media. I think we need to still work hard on finding a creative way of free advertisement, such as blogging, twitter and facebook. Cutting cost, mates.

Cable TV provides a lot of good movies and tv series. But now, we can rent movie and tv series in iTunes and Google Play. Moreover, we can play in our TV via Apple TV or Nexus Q. We play it when we want to watch watch. That sounds more convenient than Cable TV. In addition, we only pay what we need. That may be cheaper than the subscription of Cable TV. Then why do you still need to have Cable TV.
