Maze Talks About: MobileMe

July 28, 2008 | 12:42

When Apple announced MobileMe as

The Exchange for the rest of us

they made a big mistake.

I signed up for a 60 day trial account (79 bucks per year are a lot of money and I don’t want to buy a pig in a poke) which got extended to 90 days due to Apple’s “we’re sorry for MobileMe being such a pain in the ass” apologies.

MobileMe’s speed is beneath contempt. When selecting all mails in my inbox and hitting the delete button it usually takes 5 seconds until the recent 25 mails moved to the trash. Same problem with the calendar. And with the iDisk. And I thought after the .mac debacle in Europe (availability below 75%, speed below 56k) Apple learned their lesson. For a 50kbyte Pages document it took me about 15 seconds to upload it to my iDisk (and my internet connection is far away from being slow) - when uploading from my Mac, when uploading directly via webinterface the speed is a bit better but still. Apple gets paid 100.000.000 bucks a year and seem to operate their servers with a modem.

It is not possible to send invitations from MobileMe to an iPhone or iPod touch - so why do they call it the Exchange for the rest of us. It is more like the Exchange that the rest of us never wanted.

Anyhow, I give Apple time until the end of my trial account to fix those problems, bugs and to add all those missing features (like push from my Mac to MobileMe, sophisticated appointment management, notes and tasks, sharing with iDisk etc). If all that fails my advice would be to stick with Google, Yahoo or Zimbra.

How I Found A Bug In iPhone Software 2.0

July 16, 2008 | 16:00

And then realized that I’m just an idiot. When calculating the cube root of a number you’d use a scientific calculator or a non-scientific calculator with a little trick.

Given that the new iPhone/iPod touch software features a scientific calculator I tried some functions like the x-th root of y. When you caluclate the cube of 3 we get 27, so the cube root of 27 is 3. And every time I’ve had hit the 3 after entering 27 “n-th root button” 3 I ended up with 1.4422495. Which is the cube root of 3. Then I tried it with the cube roots of 64 and 125 which resulted in 4 and respectively 5. Then again cube root of 27, and again 1.4422495. I did it. I found a bug. So I tried to call up Greuff and Wogri, who didn’t pick up their phones. And then I tried it again. 27 “n-th root button” 3. And then the calculator showed me a result of 3.

What has happened here? Lucky me did hit the “n-th root button” twice every time I tried before. So no bug to file, just my crippled fingers and me thinking that I’m a genius.
