Have you ever wanted to install an App on your iPhone/iPad/iPod, only to find out that it's not available for your country! How annoying!

When I originally bought my iPhone, I was living in the United States, and thankfully due to my location I was able to download all of my favourite Apps with no issues at all.

Fast forward 2 years ... I am now living and working in Hong Kong due to family and business. I've also bought the new iPhone 4S, but to register and activate this new iPhone 4S, I had to input my credit card and address details. Yes, that's right ... both my credit card and residental address are now based in Hong Kong.

So, I happily entered my personal details, not knowing the fact that it would affect me greatly! ... The available Apps from my Apps Store are limited to the country where I registered it. Arrrggghhh ... APPLE!!! WTF?!?!

There is a way around this ...

Over at TweakTown, they have published a review of the ARCTIC Freezer i30 CPU Cooler.

With about four or five meetings that day scheduled all around them, I figured I had time to stop off and see what was new. Let me just keep this bit short and sweet, they have a few products in cooling that are new, but also ARCTIC is really diversifying to new markets."

No doubt the owners are happy to have restored a good chunk of their clientele; Netflix hasn't had the easiest of years, but luckily they seem to be on track once again and will hopefully be able to bring in more customers in the year 2012.

"NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Netflix said Wednesday it began to add customers again last quarter, after a series of blunders damaged its sterling reputation with consumers and investors.

The streaming video and DVD-by-mail company said it gained a net 610,000 U.S. customers in the fourth quarter of 2011, including 220,000 streaming customers.

Netflix now has 24.4 million total customers, close to the 24.6 million it had before it angered subscribers with a 60% price hike in July, and then announced the separation of its DVD and streaming services in September. The company eventually canned the "Qwikster" plans, but not before 800,000 customers had fled Netflix.

Netflix appears to have recovered from the PR nightmare. The company said it began adding more streaming video service customers by December. Not only did last month's customer additions far outpace the company's expectations, but far fewer customers cancelled their service. Also, fewer migrated to DVD-only plans, which are more cost-intensive for the company."

More speed!  That's what everybody wants, well it looks like our current high-speed internet may soon be left in the dust compared to this latest in Network Technology:

"Nothing screams World of Tomorrow quite like quantum dots. Alongside the possibility of paint-on solar cells, the technology could also multiply optic fiber bandwidth by up to ten times. The Photonic Network Research Institute at NICT has been able to crank up the capacity of the data transmission system by combining a light source and photonic crystal fiber. The quantum dots act as the light source, and via the NICT's new "sandwiched sub-nano separator structure" [above], they can be tweaked to work at 70THz -- far in excess of the 10THz frequencies typically used. Aside from optical communications, the potency of these high frequencies allow it to pass beyond skin, opening up the use of quantum dots to medical scanning and high resolution cell imaging. Is there anything these dots can't do? Catch a slightly more technical explanation in the video right after the break."

"Fujitsu's K supercomputer was on our radar before it was even completed, and naturally, we let you know when it smoked the competition and became the supercomputing speed king. So, when we had the opportunity to see a piece of K at Fujitsu's North America Technology Forum today, we couldn't pass it up.

In case you forgot, K is a massive machine powered by 864 racks with 24 boards per rack housing SPARC64 CPUs. We got to see one of those boards, and Yuichiro Ajima -- who designed the inter-connection chips (ICC) on them -- was gracious enough to give us some more info on this most super of supercomputers."

It's totally unbelieveable that there are over 1 billion of these Nokia S40 phones in the world. Beat that Apple!

"Finnish mobile phone maker Nokia says it has shipped the 1.5 billionth phone running its S40 operating system. The first S40 phone was sold in 1999, and the software underpinned Nokia's commercial success for years.

"It's difficult to think of a product line with such an impact on the world's population," said Mary McDowell, who runs Nokia's mobile phone division.

S40 is used in feature phones, which can run applications, but lack the computing power of smartphones. Nokia estimates that there are currently 675 million active owners of S40 phones in the world, and says that it is currently selling about 12 phones of the S40 family every second."
