iPhone OS 4.0
Apple held an event to preview next iPhone OS 4.0 on April 8 just a few days after launching iPad. So, what's on iPhone 4.0? Here are some of features shared in the event.
Multitasking
Finally we get to see the multitasking on iPhone. Apple uses 'services' to realize multitasking. There are 7 services available Background music, Voice over IP, Background location, Push notifications, local notifications, Task completion and Fast app switching.
Folders
I like this drag and drop UI intelligent naming feature on folders. As you download more apps, flipping page by page to get to your app become tedious. OS 4.0 allows you to drag an app over another app and immediately a folder is created. The name of folder is automatically suggested using group name of app. This cool!
Mail
4.0 offers unified inbox which support multiple mail exchanges account. You can have fast switching between your inbox, can organize your email by thread and also open attachments with apps.
iBooks
Free distributed Winnie-the-Pooh. This app is similar to iPad.
Mobile iAd
This newly announced advertising platform could be a great opportunity for iPhone developer to generate income. Over 1500 APIs has been released during this preview for developer

Received this email today. I find it appropriate to express my current thought. Not sure who is originator of this email. I give he/she the credit for writing this inspiration letter can encourage more people to look at their life differently.
學會做三件事
人一輩子有"三天 "，即昨天、今天、明天。
昨天與今天之間有扇後門，今天與明天之間有扇前門。
這"三天" 中"今天 "最重要。
過去的事情就讓它過去吧，
明天的事情等來了再說吧，
最要緊的是做好今天的事情。
要想過好今天，要學會做三件事。
第一是 "會關門"。
把通往昨天的後門和通往明天的前門都關緊了，人一下子就輕鬆了。
第二是"會計算"。
要學會計算幸福。
有的人本子上記的全是困難和問題，從來沒有記過幸福。
有些人對自己做對的事情一件也沒記住，對自己做錯的事情記得特別牢，徒增了許多煩惱。
第三是"會放棄" 。
請牢記："先舍後得，舍了才會得，舍了一定會得"。
學會說三句話
第一句話："算了。
"錢包被偷了，算了；
電視機燒壞了，算了；
骨頭摔斷了，算了；
眼睛瞎了，算了。
對於既成 事實，最好的辦法就是接受。
第二句話：" 不要緊。
"不管發生什麼問題，一定要學會說"不要緊" 。
一生都要樂觀，天塌下來有高個子頂著。
第三句話：" 會過去的。
"有一句俗語" 天不會總是陰的。
"別憂愁，一切都會過去的。
學會三種方法
三樂法。
就是助人為樂、知足常樂、自得其樂。
三不要法。
一是不要拿別人的錯誤來懲罰自己，
二是不要拿自己的錯誤懲罰別人，
三是不要拿自己的錯誤懲罰自己。
年齡減十法。
舉例來說，假如你今年78歲了，
當別人問你多大年紀時，你應該回答：我今年 68歲。
不要小看這種方法，它有明顯的煥發青春的功效。
心態年輕，人自然會顯得年輕

Scary sticky experience
A horrible thing happen to me today. I bought a new tube of super glue to fix my shoe. The edge of my shoe came off due to prolong wearing. I thought of this intelligent idea to glue it back.
Since it is a new tube, I need to assert force it open. This looks like a simple task to me but without paying much attention to it, I accidentally press it too hard and suddenly too much glue spilled out. Next thing I noticed there are glue on my fingers, shoe and floor. I quickly pulled out a piece of tissue paper to wipe out glue from my fingers. Guess what happen next, the glue bonds with paper onto my fingers. This is so horrible, I have glue and paper stuck on my fingers, I tried to wash with soap and water but it doesn't work. It won't come out. I started to panic as I can feel my skin start to dry out and the glue is making my fingers uncomfortable.
I need to find a method immediately to clean up this mess. Thank goodness for the search engine aka google; I manage to find a remedy. Here the steps to get super glue off your skins.
Step 1
Do not attempt to tear or force apart the glue. This could rip your skin. (Hmm, this is what I have been doing for last 5 minutes when I got into this mess)
Step 2
Apply nail-polish remover to the area. The chemical from nail-polish breaks down the bond.
Step 3
If there's a lot of glue on your skin, soak the skin in nail-polish remover to dissolve the bond.
Step 4
Clean the area with soap and water after removing the glue.
Step 5
If you don't have nail-polish remover, soak the affected skin in warm, soapy water.
Step 6
Slowly roll the skin to work the bond apart as the warm water soaks through. Continue doing this until the skin is free of glue
Finally, I managed to remove those glue and tissue paper from my fingers. Thanks to high technology and science. They are so important to us. Haha
