A9 maps was a great idea for online mapping. it interacts online users with useful information. People can submit and share their street picture. But it was gone, what a sad story!

The feature, street-level photos was so helping for me. I could easy to recognize the place I was going. With google map or others, I only can know the location, and the “top” of the “old” building which no user-friendly at all.

One thing I don’t understand is, as in the “web 2.0” age, why this good tool can not be continue? Maybe it falls into the category “great product but not great goods”.

Ok, I admitted that I like “getamac” ads because Apple makes fun with M$. But don’t mean that I believe what Apple said how good they are in those ads.

And this time I can enjoy more because there are some ads play with other “language” which I am able to understand. British English is English, unlike Japanese which I only know a few words. In British version of the ads , “PC” is not glasses. The USA one and Japan one, the “PC” actor wears glasses. Hmm~, that is the image of how Apple thinks about the British office-people. Interesting!!!

BTW, there are two ads which is not copy from the US, “Office at Home“, “Tentacle“. Oh, oh, and I like the ending of the “Trust Mac” in British (US version) better. It said: “There is nothing here. Just couple of us, MACs having fun.”

To configuring login screen is very easy in OS X. Your options will be in one screen.

In “System Preferences” , “System” click “Accounts”. Under “Accounts” window, highlight “Login Options”, then you will see this screen.

Of course that you need to have the password to change the setting.

ESD=ElectroStatic Discharge

Sad, sad, sad.

Today, it was my first time to have ESD problem. ESD has killed my flash drive.

I had tried to connect my flash drive with a pc. When the two metal parts just touched to each other, there was spark. And then plug the flash drive into the usb port, the power light was off. At that time, I just remembered my friend told me ESD will kill the electronics producer. It was too late. My flash drive was death, death, death
