World Dominance
People with Apple computers can now use Windows on their computers using a patch available over the internet.
It's Boot Camp software.
Iam feeling very hot now, so I can't write anything more.
But one more line would be to refer to the title of the post.

The "Bit"ten Apple.
Soon to celebrate its 30th birthday, Apple sure is getting old (age wise) but its products remain as fresh as its image but that’s just a commonality, with age comes wisdom. (For most!)
!
I can predict some new launches coinciding with the birthday. We might get to see an ibook with the Intel dual processors further reaching consumers with a lesser price than the power mac pro. That could be one launch.
Apple had also filed for registration of the term “iMobile” starting the speculation among analysts that it could be launching a mobile phone. But I am going to be a tad different and predict something completely different.
For me iMobile could be as per the name a mobile, the auto kind which comes together to become an automobile. While my mind doesn’t allow me ideas for the aesthetics of it, what it does allow me is the “inner” stuff.
The engine for example could be a Dual Intel Centrino (ok, ok that was a joke), the engine could be normal but the interior of the car will be of the computer. The seats will be actual working DRAM, (joking again).
Let me get serious, the car will be stocked with a really powerful computer and a wi-fi station. Download the songs on to the inbuilt computers 40 TB hard disk from the fast speed internet and listen through the stereo speakers which Apple has recently launched. Microsoft has not made a secret out of it’s inroads into the software needs of the future automobile. For Apple to take it further by introducing a car, it would be shocking for all. Just imagine the grill on the front holding up a chrome Apple logo. Same thing goes for the center of the steering wheel.
That would be really a thing, the Apple iMobile.
Happy Birthday Apple.

the word "complete"
March 09, 2006
Facing west; while lying on my bed, It was about 6:30 AM and 2 degree celcius outside, my alarm clock went off and my brain broadcasted a signal to search an escape route to reality. What was the reality? It took my brain 2 nano seconds to establish it. "Nothing ordinary about it...” kept saying a region in my brain that was keeping track of the last 4 months.
But in something extraordinary there are always ordinary things like taking a bath, putting clothes on, breakfast and catching a bus that fade into the background... and the mind records them very differently, like it never happened...
Almost 8:00 AM now and I am sitting on the second last seat on an express bus to downtown Vancouver with the Quran in my hand and a bag containing 80Gigs of binary information that I am hoping to connect with my workstation at VFS to spit out 14 minutes and 22 seconds of moving images. I choose to call this duration of moving images "Innerspace and all that..." partially because it suited the subject matter and partially my inspiring brother once wrote it on piece of paper... and I digged it too much.
It is now 10:00 AM and I am in the audio lab while the new digital design batch is having their class on Protools and Reason. I am dongling around in Protools to adjust the levels of the background score and the narration. I bounce it to disk and leave the room. Over about 20 steps from this room is the "Orange Lab", where my class fellows have been living for the past 2 months. Literally, they have been sleeping and working there. The lab is a mess. With papers, clothes, pillows, and bottles are crowding most of space the workstations and the sleek LCDs take. Some cheap ass instructor is filming while he is advising his student projects... for the school's promotional DVD. I found that very uncomforting... and left the room... without giving it a second thought.
It is now almost 6:00 PM and I am filling out a form for Final project delivery... in my hands is the final copy of the film... burned on DVD... and I am saying to myself... finally it is over.
Nobody has seen what I have been doing for the last four months. I mean nobody. Not a single soul. What is about? How does it look like? Is it religious? Are you happy with it? Where is it? Are the questions that I have been ignoring for the last four months…
Somehow they all believe that is an amazing piece that I have been so secret about. But I tell them it is not. Because my brain thinks that it is not. It falls short on many aspects that I tried hard to control. But in the end I can say for sure... it is whatever it is... whatever it was supposed to be... it is an outcome of an organic process... undefinable... by definition very unprofessional and at the same time very creative.
When will I let anybody see it is still a question I don't have an answer for... and will anybody like it or understand it... do I even care... well, we will see in the next couple of weeks... here is a pdf draft of about the film

Quick Post
No entry was posted on this blog despite having 3 contributors.
So I've decided to put up a post to get the blog moving.
Do you remember Farhan Munsif and his initials FM.
I was wondering about that much more and looked at his elder brother
Adnan Munsif AM.
FM and AM ...what a coincidence.
Younger brothers
Dawood Munsif… DM (Doc Martens)
Marwam Munsif…. M&M ??
If you are not laughing yet, go have some laughing gas!!!

Apple launches...
Apple already did something which it was bound to do today or tomorrow. I am talking about the introduction of Intel chips in Apple Computers. Two models, an iMac and a completely new model PowerMac pro were introduced. I am not going to talk about the iMac only because it doesn’t look new but also because I didn’t go over the specifications.
Apple has significantly done what it does all the time, take my breath away. I was going over the deliciously detailed specifications of the PowerMac Pro and I was harboring the pity of not being able to afford one myself.
With every new product Apple does add a significant feature which makes the heart skip a few beats, like the Apple remote on the iMacs (the ones with the iSight built within the body).
PowerMac Pro has the Apple Remote too. Not only that, it has a particularly new system of power cord attachment: A magnet. Yes, a magnet which secures the power cord to the laptop. Apple says it is to prevent:
1.The notebook from flying of the base it is placed upon if someone trips on the cord.
2. Lessen damage to the connectors by putting force when connecting to the notebook to the charger.
I don’t know how Apple has divided itself over the minimum power of the pull for the magnet to break away. We wouldn’t want our laptop to be put to charge and just a little accidental touch to make the cord fall down. That’s for no.1.
And for no.2 is: the more the cord falls down the more the connector has liability for damage.
Not so long back the buttons on the fourth generation ipod were given the extra-sensitive label.These matters do affect the end consumer. Ipod couldn’t be rivaled since its release, but how does Apple convince consumers to go for its notebooks rather than the manufacturers which have already been dominating the market and have significant architectural experience to match Intel chips which Apple does not because it is oh-for-so-long being playing with other chip manufacturers.
Unlike the THREAT-ENDING which I have given in my previous Apple posts I will not end this post by a threat. But by a simple Question ….Does Apple know the meaning of free? If it does… then my e-mail address is callmerightnowatmynumber@hotmail.com.
I’ll provide you my shipping address over by e-mail.

Project Update: Subject Research complete
My final project on Sufism here at Vancouver Film School is taking shape... Have finished the research phase. The project is sort of taking a structure in my mind and somewhat on paper... Now during the next week I would be doing early sketches and mockups along with the user research.
The topic of Sufism and Man's relationship with spirituality is off course something that cannot be understood in its entirety in such a short period. But I think I have covered some good ground in the subject area and have a pretty reasonable understanding what needs to be done for this project. I am having a time of my life doing this project.

do it yourself marketing ppl
I was supposed to create a poster for CAIR... you saw one draft earlier... the one I recycled... the poster you are seeing on this page is a work of art... it is done by a fairly talented team called strategic inspirations in Michigan... basically into marketing...
this poster can show you that you don't need a designer at all... just do it yourself...
*Thank God I am not working for them anymore...*
