TextReader.PDF 1.2 is coming

Three more enhancements for TextReader.PDF 1.2 reaching general public:
  1. Refine the algorithm for the sphere rotation control.
  2. Skip font glyph process in PDFRenderer to seep up as TextReader.PDF doesn’t need it anyway.
  3. Make TextReader.PDF understand other languages, mainly Chinese which I am after.

Smartwatch Renaissance Third Time’s A Charm Anything is great at the 3rd version, e.g. MS Windows really became a hit at 3.0  Here comes another example, Apple Watch Series 3 .

The highlights here are “utility” and “just works”. Apple Watch 3 happens to have 3 killer utility features: Telephony and mobile data connection Music streaming Mobile payment Finally, one can leave the mobile behind for a few hours, such as go to jog, gym, dinner and movies.

Before that, allow me to nag one more thing first: Open Internet.  It's been an extreme bad year on  Net Neutrality .  Read  When The FCC Kills Net Neutrality and search NN . gofccyourself please. John Oliver explained very nicely in 2014 Why Open Last chapter, I blogged about how Apple ignited the Smartphone Revolution.  All things being equal, that is the most common formula to tip a paradigm shift with unstoppable momentum.

The Mobile is different since Apple announced iPhone X this week, and there is no going back. Sorry, all “iPhone Killer” makers, you have a lot to catch up. Nevertheless, I’m very exciting to see a few significant changes staging the Super Premium Mobile market. WWDC 17 Keynote is the best Apple Event in the past few years, and I highly recommend to check it out if you haven’t. As I can not stop talking about them with friends, it’s time to blog them. It should be fun when the future me to do reality check. https://www.apple.com/iphone-x/ Caveats I’m always too optimistic.  It’s a feature, not a bug.  Take it with X  a grant of salt.  Most of them are not new nor original.  Keeping the quotes casual for readability because it’s not A pager.  Not going to put too much effort to proper organize them, and it'll take a few more blogs to complete.
