While most of the websites are shortening their web URL dropping www and redirecting www to non-www URL . This trend is mainly adopted by relatively new websites ( web2.0 websites ) . Apple seems to be in the old age . In addition Apple doesn’t have any handeling if anyone typed URL without www ( at least for japan website ) . and thus misleading customers or even may be losing them. I first thought when i typed http://apple.com/jp that Apple Japan website must be down. But i tried putting the URL again with www i.e., http://www.apple.com/jp it worked fine. Really bad for Japanese Apple customers . and WTF this is a very simple thing which any website administrator should know .

UPDATE 1: seems its fixed now.. Or is it that it was the bad timing when i tried accessing http://apple.com/jp
UPDATE 2: i am still getting error when i open http://apple.com/jp with Chrome in Vista

Sigh.. when I started reading this website, I really thought it would be a good constructive criticism for Macs. But I stop reading when the author uses IE. I never can understand why people would use IE if they know there are other alternatives out there.

I generally use Chrome in Windows and Safari in Mac but to test some of the sites compatibility i use every browser

Pointless article.
And sod that, I realized my site didn’t display properly in IE, and thought if you are that fucking stupid to continue using such a shocking browser and without desire to try alternatives, then wtf are you doing on the internet? Get off, go to bed.

Windows is full of shit… That’s why you can open it sometimes, and sometimes you can’t.

I’ve been a fan of Apple for sometime, they produce products that is visually gorgeous while working like a champ. Alot of companies aren’t like that, it’s typically one or the other. Companies don’t usually take aesthetics seriously like Apple. With me stating that I’ve got to say that I’m very excited about the upcoming iSlate. One thing I question though, is it too soon? I’m afraid that this may be ahead of our time. What do you think?

Alot of bloggers not too pleased with this new iPad.There was too much hoopla about it and lots of people got turned off.Quite frankly, I can actually see some of the cool potential uses of this gizmo. Third-party apps for playing tunes, games, papers and magazines and books, tons of awesome stuff, but they failed to sell it very well (aside from the books). It feels sort of not finished
