Untitled Poem

2009-10-22T19:13:00.001-07:00

I just wanted to share a poem written by my husband.. Just an ordinary poem, maybe you'll notice some grammatical errors and mistakes but still this is very special for me, of course!! This was given to me by my hubby when we had a fight during our younger days and might be as simple as it is yet it made me cry & love him more..

By: Jim Daryl
Composed: October 20, 2007

My mom gave birth to me, everybody knows that.
Not my father, not my brother and not my relatives,
just my mom.
But I want to ask this,
who's the one who making me stay alive
And who's the one helping and teaching me how to live?
It's not my mom, not my father, not my brother
but YOU my wife.
I don't know how you make all this.
Maybe that's the power of love.
Everybody saying thank you?!
Not enough to tell you that
I'm really happy you came in my life...

iPhone Innovation

2009-10-20T07:10:00.000-07:00

iPhone is now considered as the most innovative phone. This is a revolutionary phone in which three devices were combined into one. The combination of a mobile phone, an internet device and an iPod is a breakthrough created by iPhone application companies. The introduction of this modern phone in the world made way to the continuing increase in the need of iPhone application developers. Apple Company, the main developer of iPhone is also the one directly hiring professionals. Due to the increasing demand of iPhone app freelancers many were trying to seize opportunity in projecting that they can do SDK programming. But according to Elance, an internet site that represents mobile app developers, there are only 80 SDK developers that claim expertise in the said program. Yet there are still many individuals and firms insisting that they have the capabilities in the field.

Most experienced iPhone SDK developers are from DS Media Lab, a firm in Florida who created the first iPhone applications under MAC. DS Media Lab comprised of dedicated 3D artists, game script writers and web designers. The company created the custom iPhone application templates. They are also the one responsible for iPhone’s software design and most of the mobile game applications. DS iPhone studio is another firm who created the official software development kit for Apple. Mobile application developers from these firms were very much excited bringing more mobile developments. The revolution of mobile is an appreciated breakthrough in our world. Aside from these two companies, Apple is still searching for SDK programmers and other iPhone job-related careers.

Today, iPhone is considered as the most powerful and fastest phone with innovations like video recording, voice control and 32GB storage. You’ll also notice how fast this device can launch applications. SDK programming includes viewing fast web surfing and 3D graphics for the most extraordinary gaming experience. Now you can take high-quality videos that can be edited and shared. The introduction of these new methods in iPhone is really something people on the go would want to have.

Developer programmers are still in search of new ways and advance discoveries to be added in the iPhone. Few years or even a few months from now we can be amazed by another innovation offered by this iPhone application companies. iPhone is really the world’s must-have phone in the moment.
