Weird Apple HTML

Today, I encountered a weird page in Apple (Japan) website. There was "hi" right above the primary link buttons. It was so funny to me, and started wondering what caused this. I checked the page source and there was "hi" before the Document Type Declaration. I noticed this is not likely to be anybody's intention. So, I captured the screenshot to share this with other people. I think this is just a small mistake that all people can laugh about, even including the people who are in the web team. As writing this post, I began to think nobody would't care about this. I think I'm just enjoying myself, finding a tiny mistake made by a big guy, and saying it to the world "I found it!" What would you say?

Today, I came across with Safari Tidy plugin. Then, I also found out about HTML VALIDATOR for Mozilla browsers as well. I was just happy to see my page had no erros nor warnings found with these tools. So, here I am. I just want to bring it up to make myself look good! I've been so busy for my freelance jobs. It seems it's been a long time not upgrading this blog's system. I still think small pieces of the system can be better than they are now. Even though I always had some feelings of guilty about it, this "0 errors / 0 warnings" was such a gift to me today. Well, I know just validating HTML is not the absolute thing, but I still think it's a good start.
I also had recieved a nice compliment saying he liked my design of this blog and the tree part. He was also wondering about getting some feedback on his website, eLanguageSchool.net. As far as I can tell from browsing some pages on the website, I think it is a very resourceful and helpful for many people.
I also came across with this website, 世論 What Japan Thinks the other day. I suppose this website might be very interesting to whoever looking for business opportunities in Japan or someone who are simply interested in Japanese culture.
Phone Camera

I know, I know. Phone camera has been around for years in Japan. This isn't new at all, but for me, this is my very first try on this. Today, I shot only a few with default settings. It seems I chose 352 x 288 pixels, and the 2nd best compression mode with this shot. It looks like I could go as big as 1616 x 1212 pixels. That sounds huge, but I think that's the way the phone company makes money with the data transmission. However, I also could try use miniSD card to transfer the data to a computer. Hum.. It's so tempting to buy a new toy after a new toy.. Anyway, many poeple in Japan seems to use a mobile phone to post a blog. Not me, at least, not yet..
New Phone

I'm not really a phone guy. I don't use much of my mobile phone. Most of the time, I am on a computer, so I really don't need a phone, I suppose. It's better to find me on chat services, skype or whatever. I bought my first mobile phone 5 years ago when I moved to here. I wasn't really sure if I needed it, but I was looking foward to make new life in a new place. During the all years until today, I was so loyal to keep the same phone for 5 years. It's probably I didn't really care about the phone if it is outdated or anything much of it. However, some months ago, I noticed the battery life became shorter.
On Friday night, something big happend to the phone to danger its life. I totally forgot about the phone was in the pocket of my pants. The phone was soaked, soaped, washed, and spinned in the washing machine. There was no sign of life in the phone, or I wasn't really hoping much out of it anyway.
Today, I went to buy a new phone. I picked the one which has better web browsing features so I can try it. This photo is probably not clear but shows you the browser is actually taking the CSS of the page. Can you see it?
Oh, by the way, at the phone shop, I found out the old phone was not entirely dead yet. My wife wanted to keep it for playing Tetris, so we still have it. It's really unbelievable..
