Macs Look good . I am OK with it. Mac OS also looks sleek . But yes this shiny thing comes with a high price . But under the hood Macs are not so secure and they are broke into easily . Considering the fact that Macs share just less than 9% of the total Computer market these are so easy to break Into . Not only the OS but Apple softwares are also easily cracked. I am not a cracker or a hacker but i figured out how to register the trial version of my iWork 2009 Application. Its really simple . I didn’t believe Apple creates products which are so easy to break .

I modified a file named “com.apple.iWork09.Installer.plist” found under Library>Preferences. The content of the file should be changed to “bplist00Ñ
[InstallModeVRetail” and Bingo i had the full registered version of iWork09.

Apple’s iPhone has wowed most of the globe — but not Japan, where the handset is selling so poorly it’s being offered for free.
What’s wrong with the iPhone, from a Japanese perspective? Almost everything: the high monthly data plans that go with it, its paucity of features, the low-quality camera, the unfashionable design and the fact that it’s not Japanese.
In an effort to boost business, Japanese carrier SoftBank this week launched the “iPhone for Everybody” campaign, which gives away the 8-GB model of the iPhone 3G if customers agree to a two-year contract.
“The pricing has been completely out of whack with market reality,” said Global Crown Research analyst Tero Kuittinen in regard to Apple’s iPhone prices internationally. “I think they [Apple and its partners overseas] are in the process of adjusting to local conditions.”

I generally get crash messages in Apple Mac built in applications despite being such a so called great OS lol . And what i send as a message to Apple is below . May be you should also try similar..

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
