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

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 chance of Smartwatch becoming A thing is high this iteration. Don’t get me wrong, anyone may claim nothing “new” here indeed. However, novelty is often overrated. 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. Note, I’m not saying this is for everyone imminently. They are for premium users for now. Those utility features may be also a good fit to a few user groups, such as elders and little kids. www.apple.com/watch One More Thing Being Apple, they all come with secret sauce. AirPots makes Telephony on watch much nature. Not everyone wants to be as ...

Veterans Day - what’s open or closed? Nope, this is not about which store was open or closed, go search , please ;) This is about open or closed platform strategies. But seriously, it’s very confusing, and a holiday always works better when everyone gets it. As AI is going to do all our work soon, we shouldn’t need to work that much anyway, right dear employers? There has been some interesting conversion to blog in the future. “All Of This Has Happened Before And Will Happen Again” BSG - Last Supper After 2 blogs on Apple products, I’m probably looked like A fan. Well, I’m not. It’ll be over simplification to judge only by results. Facts: Apple does have good product, strategy and execution. That does not mean it is the right way nor the best model for the whole wave cycle nor the whole market. Furthermore, one can try to beat Apple on its own game. Good luck, I’ve not seen nor expected anyone comes close anytime soon. To the fellows of “iPhone killers”, you shou...

The Return Of The King: Time To Get The Bar Opened

British Bankers Club @ Menlo Park, CA Recently, we got a nice treat at BBC . Nice place to try Upper Class Experience. Food was great. The best part was the Open Bar in my opinion :) Thanks to our dear director. Seriously, let's talk about Openness. 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. However, if to go to the next level, Open Platform strategy is the One. Android happened to be the winner this round. To be clear, lets focus on facts rather than on moral debates. Hopefully, history may teach us something for the road ahead. Don't get me wrong, it almo...
