Apple Fanboys

It's been a while since I have actually posted anything. I've been extremely busy with the last week of school as I have had another two assessments, right after my preliminary exam block. I honestly wish I had a bit more time to study and prepare for them though. Today however, you guys are in for a treat. Sort of. Well, I read a post earlier today which really blew my mind away. I loved how a fellow Apple fanboy came up with these amazing concepts, and even brought them to life. He made a video describing his thoughts and ideas which really bring out just that tiny bit more of Apple awesomeness. In my letter below, I have included a link to his post. I hope you enjoy reading it.


Hi Apple,

I have been a loyal fan of yours ever since you have revolutionised mobile phones into what they have become today: smart phones. I have been following the rumour mill regarding the iPhone 5 ever since supposed leaks and rumours arose in late May. Since then, I have heard the wildest and not so wild rumours about a taller screen, new pin connector, a new rear casing and a behemoth of other rumours. However, what disappointed me as a "fanboy" of Apple as some would call it, is that most of these turned out to be true. One thing I was proud of Apple for was that your ability to surprise and shock the world with the next big thing. I'm not saying that the iPhone 5 is not amazing but for me, it's not amazing enough. It was similar to the iPhone 4s where the change from the 4 to 4s was minute. Likewise, the change from the 4s to 5 was also minute. I had high expectations for Apple and I have to say, you disappointed me. I hope you prove me wrong by coming out with a product that revolutionises the smart phone industry, not evolve the product.

The main reason I decided to write to you today was that I wanted to share a post I came across. The link I included below describes another fanboy of Apple's thoughts and feelings as to what could make the iPhone 5 just that much more amazing. How you may ask? Spotlight. The attention to detail and the incredible concepts that a fellow fanboy describes in his post truly are worth considering when preparing for the next major software update. I would love for Apple to take on board some of these ideas as they blew my mind away when I first looked at them.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I take no credit to the amazing concepts that the fellow fanboy came up with and I hope that I have been able to help you in any way by referring you to him.

Exams and Cramming

This year has passed by so quickly (well i feel that's how i'm feeling). I wonder how I could have wasted so much time during class for me to have to cram everything I've done. So, for the next 5 consecutive days, I have my end of course exams and I need to cram everything I've done so far the night before each of them. My laziness has really led me no where and I'm taking the toll for it right now. Since it is the first exam, I should do fine (i think/i hope). I'm unsure about the rest of the exams since there is much more content and much less time. If only the weekends lasted longer!

Since I had tutoring today, it limited the time I had to study/cram this year's content and practice questions. Luckily, they've given me the extended response question which makes the exam much, much more simple. i studied at the internet cafe and after tutoring, at the state library. I got quite a lot of work done in the time I had (about 4 hours). I also did a bit of study on the train and bus but that's when I got a headache when I was doing it on the train. I took 2 tablets which has helped but I also feel like throwing up now. It totally sucks but I hope to finish studying tonight, including practising some questions.

I hope you all have a great fathers' day and enjoy the week ahead of you!
