Closing an App in iOS4

I love my iPhone and iOS4 works smoothly on it. Except for one (small?) annoying thing: immediate closing of an opened app. I mean, if you run iOS4 in your iPhone and say, you are opening the Facebook app, here’s what you have to do to completely close it (Other iPhone iOS4 users, please enlighten me in case I’m wrong):

- First you have to tap the Home button
- Then double-tap the Home button again to bring up the multi-tasking bar
- Then tap and hold the Facebook app icon to bring the closing (-) mark
- Then tap the (-) mark to completely close it
- Finally tap the screen to return to the home screen

I mean, what is that? Those bunch of procedures just to close an opened app? It’s very “not Apple”, right? ;)

Perhaps Apple’s UI experts have thought about it, is working on it and will integrate new finger gesture regarding it in the next update of iOS4. But I wrote the following email anyway.

Dear Mr. Jobs,

Could you please tell your UI Designers to somehow integrate a finger gesture to immediately close an app on your next iOS4 update? Tap and hold, double tap the app’s topbar, tap hold and slide down, whatever.

It’s just kinda annoying having to double tap the home button and close the app one by one. Also thought it’s very “not Apple”. :)

Thanks & regards,
Harry JH

Will he reply my email? I don’t know. Or give a damn about it? I don’t care.

PS: Well.. actually I do care ;)

Bootcamping Error!

Meng-install Windows di Mac dengan menggunakan Bootcamp Assistant harusnya bukan hal yang sulit. Tinggal download manual PDF-nya dari website Apple dan ikuti instruksi step-by-step-nya, seharusnya bisa beres dalam 45 menit -1 jam saja. Namun bukannya tidak mungkin ada hal-hal di luar perkiraan sehingga pekerjaan yang harusnya mudah itu bisa membuat pusing dan menguras energi. :(

Seperti ketika kemarin mencoba menggunakan Bootcamp untuk meng-install Windows XP di Macbook, saya mendapatkan pesan error seperti ini:
