Even though i click on the shortcut/application that should launch Chrome, there is no process that runs on its name….then a little permutations and combinations of killing few processes worked!!

If you kill the process named “citivan.exe” (leave ctfmon.exe alone!), Chrome will launch normally. I am typing onto my blog from Chrome, so it works! Oh well, sneaky ways to chop off non-Microsoft products huh?

G : If You are eligible for upgrade at this time you can upgrade your device to the new iPhone tomorrow in the store for 199 for the 8gb or 299 for the 16gb device. If you are not eligible for upgrade you can use a early upgrade and get the device for 399 for 8gb or 499 for 16gb.

Me>>: how do i know if i am eligible?

G : Did you access the site throughyou online account manager, where you entered your wireless number and password?

Me>>: yes

G : Did the online account manager give you the option to upgrade today so you could get on the site to see the phones and devices?

Me>> : i do see the upgrade phone option

Me>> : when i click it takes me to chioces in phone devices

G : Then you are eligible for upgrade.

Me>> : but i dont see iPhone i there

G : you will not see the iPhone on the site because you can not order the device online. you will have to go to your local AT&T store to get that device.

Me>> : oh ok.

Me>> : so if i go for a 8gb one ,its 199 and 2 year contract from upgrade date

Me>> : right?

G : Yes, that is correct. The new 8gb iPhone is 199 and that does extend your contract for two years.

G : Is there anything else I can assist you with today?

Me>> : also, do i get to keep this iPhone and add another line as upgraded iPhone?

G : Me>> are referring to the old iPhone?

What makes me feel iffy about the iPhone is the fact that its from Apple! I am a huge fan of a good product, a good branding( my ASUS S6F), and i dont necessarily have any complaints with Apple..not for now..but i am not sure if i will feel differently in near future   I am not OK with iTunes & iPhone updates… I am hugely disappointed in everything that goes on with new updates.

If you are wondering if there was any recent update with iPhone, then no. The last, latest update is from January 2008. Why am i talking about it now? That kinda answers the point I’m trying to make.

I dint install the January 2008 iPhone software update just because i dint want to have to go through all this. Its April 2008, and i am finding some free time and finally get to install the update. Guess what happens? MY IPHONE CANNOT CONNECT THROUGH EDGE!

I restarted it half a dozen times( Don’t try to even suggest the same thing again people!), cleared cache/cookies/history in safari, nothing is looking good right now.

“Safari can’t open the page because it can’t find the server.” is what i get when i am trying to access Safari ( any website, even Google.com). Same kind of messages about “cant find server” come up when i am trying to access my Mail, Weather etc. .
Just great..its Friday night, and all i got to do was install Firefox 3 beta and test it..just to realize that fireftp, greasemonkey don’t work with the ff3..and now my iPhone is acting crazy.
Now i have to make an appointment with apple store( i don’t like when i cant fix my gadgets, not especially when i paid $500+ on one). I could do other important things: laundry, dishes, bathe my cat, grocery shopping, applying for summer internship positions around Louisville..nope.

I bet i wont get anything done when my head is thinking of all possible googling i could do to figure out a fix for my iPhone.

I bet if there is a website that just is dedicated to users aggravated with Apple iPhone, it would be running out of bandwidth in a day!!! Dude, i hope i get my iPhone working asap!

Next up, My iPhone! Which lets me take these pics ofcourse. Although its an 8GB iPod + phone + Camera + Touch screen + Blah + Blah, i have couple of complaints!

1. You cant record an ongoing call

2. No video recording!!!!

3. Cant receive or send MMS !!!( What?? Are we still in 90’s???)

4. Ringtones that are in it suck, have to buy the song/ringtone from iTunes!

5. OH YES. iTunes! IT IS LOAD OF CRAP

6. Same freaking theme, there is nothing you can do about it.

But.. i still love it, no complaints with existing platform, just wish things that are available with much less competent models are in iPhone too!!

Well, now whats next? Well..More to come later, im done typing for now!

Instead of working in the labs at the campus ( well, i need to apply and get a valid login from the IT guy at UofL, then take time out of my 20 hours/week schedule, plus swimming , plus taking care of my new kitty, plus hello its snowing, how the deuce do you expect me to go to campus.. and yeah, did i mention i DONT have a car?), i would rather take time to install one that i like on my super hot laptop!

I need to post more pics of my laptop and my kitty .. uh well. so here the first step towards installation of MYSQL.

step1: Choose which db software you want to install. I chose MYSQL because, well i played with Oracle 7.3 when i was a kid(well, 4 years ago i was a kid).

Step2: google “MYSQL APACHE PHP all in one installation”. Well, what do you know, the first of the results leads to XAMPP. OFCOURSE!!

Step3: INSTALL XAMPP

Step4: Need to post more on followups!

ADIOS!
