SHINee's comeback with LUCIFER

Check out their new Album Lucifer


They be having their comeback on the 23rd July on the show "MusicBank"

Stay tuned.

In the meantime, enjoy the short teaser for their new MV

I kinda like their Ring Ding Dong.


It was definitely a hit back in those days.


But I think Lucifer will not dissapoint as well. The lyrics sound catchy, lively and really fun.


Let's wait and see if they will put up a good fight against the many strong rookies these days.

Apple needs to reflect

I have always thought that Apple is getting more and more complacent.



Firstly, they are not like Google, they do not support an open system. Instead, they based all their research and opinions on their employees. They totally missed the point that the customers are the ones that can provide them with the most unbiased feedback.




If they continue to be so adamant about their needs, they will soon end up in oblivion. Well not that soon of course, considering that there are millions of die-hard fans out there who are willing to empty their pockets for Apple.


Nonetheless, sustaining the number of their customers is one thing, increase the number is another. How can Apple continue to attract more people and talent if they are so oblivious to the happenings around them?


Let's just look at the recent invention of the iPhone 4. Many have complained that the reception will be cut off immediately once a part of the phone is blocked. This is especially a huge problem for left-handers.


The best part is that Apple has requested for the buyers to get a special casing so as to restore the lost reception caused by the design.




Apple said on June 25 that "gripping any mobile phone will result in some attenuation of its antenna performance." It said customers can use the $29 plastic bumper to resolve the iPhone 4's loss of reception.


This is outrageous, simply preposterous!


1. Why must the consumers go get the casing when its not their fault ?


2. Shouldn't Apple rectify the problem by themselves instead of telling the consumers to do the additional chore?

Chief Executive Jobs was also reported to have emailed a consumer, saying, "Just avoid holding it in that way," and telling another "It's not a reception issue, stay tuned."


From my perspective, it almost seems like Apple is ordering their customers to solve the problem by themselves. They have merely provided the solution but they did not execute it swiftly.




You don't order the customers around like that. You will piss them off.


The worst part is that they are trying to circumvent. They do not have the courage to face up to a mistake when they commit one. It's really enigmatic.


Is it that hard to admit to your mistake and learn from it? I mean, all the consumers are already giving you their feedbacks and yet you are not accepting them like a hero.


Rather, you are dodging all the arrows and bullets shot at you like a coward.


To my chagrin, Apple is hopeless.


If they still do not buck up, even their die-hard fans will say goodbye to them.


One day, they will. Trust me

BP rebounces after death plummet

BP's stock has come roaring back in the past two weeks after hitting a 14-year low. But why? And is the nearly 25% surge enough to save embattled CEO Tony Hayward's job?


On the one hand, there has been some good news for the oil giant. According to several reports, Hayward has been talking to sovereign wealth funds, most notably in the Middle East, about getting a cash infusion.



Once they have secured a cash infusion, they are more or less on safe grounds now. Investors need not worry about the present operations of the company per se for they know that they will be able to cope steadily well.




BP has also said it does not plan to issue new stock, a move cheered by investors since that would only dilute the value of current shares even further.


This further reinforces the investors' confidence that their stock value will continue to rise fast and furious.

 



Nonetheless, BP's CEO is most probably going to leave his desk in no time, probably before the end of 2010 as he has clearly failed to uphold his mandate.


He has promised to uphold safety but he has clearly failed abysmally here.


This is a terrible consequence but it is inevitable.


Good Bye
