Windows Server 2012 hands on
Yesterday, I rented a cloud server from Rackspace. This server installed Windows Server 2012.
This is my first times to use this operation. It is using the similar interface with Windows 8, that sounds a kind of Metro UI and without a "Start" button. I found I need some time to learn, I have spent 10 minutes. I did not find the control panel and IE successfully. Finally, I typed a URL in windows explorer, then I got IE opened.
That is IE 10, which is same as Windows 8 too. Moreover, I found that is much much faster than IE 9.To sum up, that is faster and need time to adapt the new interface!
Online Advertisement cost more than before
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.
IPhone 5 in Brisbane
Yesterday, I went to Vodafone Shop in City. I found they have iPhone 5 and the salesperson gave an iPhone 5 to me. I tried to use it for a few minutes. That is very light and sounds a bit lighter than my S3. Moreover, I found it has OLED, the color is sharper too. Generally, that is great, but the price is very expensive. I checked the basic plan is $30 per month and $18 for phone per month. For "$0 Phone" plan, that is $80 per month. That is a lot!
Samsung Galaxy Note II
Recently,Samsung has released Galaxy Note II. I watched the promotion video from Samsung. That is so great! It looks like a BIG version of Galaxy S3. But it got a newer Android version. Moreover, it has a bigger screen too! I think that will be better for reading and watching video. I hope I can have a real one now. But now, I only can watch the youtube video.
Multi-APKs in Developer Console - Android
I got the notification in Developer Console. It supports Multi-APKs. You can have each apk to each:
- version of Android
- Screen Size
- CPU architecture
That is very helpful. I was considering to build a new version for Android 4.0 and put it into a new apps, e.g. AdvGenToDoV4. Now, I can put it into the original app. That is the better way to organize.
