More day time random shots with Lensbaby Double Glass in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong
The third Hong Kong Apple Store opens soon
The third Hong Kong Apple Store unwraps itself at Hysan Place finally (at least on the outside poster of the the mall). It will occupy 2 floors in the mall in Causeway Bay. So it should have the signature Steve Jobs staircase inside.
Apple Store IFC mall
The first Apple Store in Hong Kong opens today at IFC mall!! The end of queue to get into the store was somewhere near the Central Post Office around 12pm today. Felt like it’s a queue to migration department’s counters to some other country at peak travel season.
I’ve never seen so many security guards in the mall ever. The store is packed with fans. You can see the Steve Jobs’ signature staircase from afar. And the store does look amazing.
Take a few photos on both sides of this remarkable Apple Store but I didn’t go in myself. Today is the important day that I should be celebrating my wife’s birthday instead of doing anything else 8D

iPhone (2.0?) coming to Hong Kong finally
Reasons why you don’t want to use an iPhone in Hong Kong
OK, so I guess wrong. No Newton MessagePod. iPhone is certainly executed nicely with all the cool technologies. I particular like the multi-touch screen (like the control in Minority Report). However you may find it quite discouraging to use iPhone in Hong Kong if things are not improved and here’s why.
Apple, Inc. will have to find a local service provider to work on the visual voice mail. Likely candidates are PCCW and SmarTone-VodaPhone and I bet it’s PCCW for their coverage in mobile subscriber & broadband market. Judging from early days of 3G browser performance, their technology and support aren’t great at all.
Goggle map doesn’t work for HK. It doesn’t return search result on Hong Kong address for instance.
Yahoo’s free push e-email will probably be included with the monthly plan at your cost.
Your money will be sucked away when you are happily surfing with GPRS trying to download a 10MB QuickTime trailer to show how cool it is to your friends.
iPhone doesn’t do Microsoft Exchange. Someone is not happy (but not me).
Chinese input….no idea. Although I only know Cangjie input but mobile user would probably prefer to use T9. Is there T9 input for Mac OS X (Mini) out there?
SMS costs HK$1 each unless you got yourselves some ultimate data usage plan. Go figure.
32GB solid state disk is out there so the current 8GB capacity is a bit turning me off.
Run, Forrest! Run!
We went to the Peak for dinner on boxing day. This is my first time to Bubba Gump. The view was excellent. Food was ok. My wife & I do recommend their smoothie. It’s quite tasty.

Earthquake in Hong Kong
This is one of the weirdest thing in my life. As I was working late in the office, I experienced my first earthquake in my life right in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong.
I felt the shake of the building 2 to 3 times. I thought it was someone moving some huge furniture but later my friend SMS me about it. And now I saw the news on TV. It’s for real.
The earthquake is of level 3.5
So is my home safe? Is my office safe? When will it happen again? And will it escalate to much higher magnitude?
