News flash! This Just In…

Interesting Stuff

According to a fellow journalist (a very credible one), my previous entry and the iPhone entry are the talk of the “industry”.  I haven’t received any emails or calls yet but we’ll see how this turns out.  I am not expecting anything out of this.  I just blogged what I feel, which is what the whole point of a blog is.

Anyway, on a lighter note, I went to this charity event today organized by Kingmax and they gave this (among other stuff) as door gift.

It was in a small package initially and I had no idea what was it.  I opened it up and found out it’s one of those concert/stadium things where you can bang and make noise.  I couldn’t find how to inflate it since it didn’t come with any instructions (I know I’m jakun!).

Then I found out that all you need to do is smash the small packet inside the “baloon” to cause a chemical reaction thingy in the baloon and it’ll fill itself up with air! I was really excited (I wasn’t a science student, so bear with me) and I’m saving the other one for Eileen to err…”activate” it.

It’s that time of the month again and you’ll see less updates from me.  Blame magazine-closing-week and Twitter!

Another Freaking Angry Entry!

Great. This is just great!

A while back, I blogged about the Maxis iPhone and bloggers thing.  These bloggers are saying that “wah, for RM9,000 I get the iPhone for free!!!”

Today, a few of them blogged about how Maxis is overcharging the iPhone with their packages.  So have they come to their senses?

FUCK NO!

They say that because DiGi is paying them to write an advertorial for their new free phone plan thingamajig.  They are now saying that the iPhone is expensive and that it’s not worth the money at all.

Exactly two months and they are contradicting themselves already. Great job my friends, GREAT JOB!

Please, does integrity mean nothing to you fuckers?

DAMN I HATE THESE BLOGGERS!

The first entry, I was not happy about Maxis pulling Apple’s credibility down by PAYING bloggers that know shit about the iPhone to blog about it and how “affordable” Maxis’ iPhone plans are.  This entry, I’m just angry that they fucking come to their freaking senses because of money. Is money EVERYTHING to you guys?

I’ve been blogging for a while now (yes, I have an old blog under a pseudonym) and blogging is not the same anymore. I admit that blogging is a very good side income but PLEASE HAVE A BIT OF FUCKING INTEGRITY!!!

No one blogs for the sake of blogging these days, no one.  (Except a few, like Erna and Huei)

P.S. I am talking about the ones that wrote advertorials for both Maxis AND DiGi. If you’ve only wrote for DiGi (like KimCun), I’m fine with that because the package is affordable and I disagree the Maxis iPhone plans all along. This entry is directed to those who shamlessly follow where the Dollar sign is!

P.P.S. I won’t call names here but if you read blogs like I do, you’ll know who these bloggers are.

I Sold My Storm…

… and I bought the Bold! This all happened in less than a week!

I just can’t live with the “clickable” touch screen. I found myself using my iPhone more often than the Storm. Why can’t Apple sell it’s touch screen technology to these people?

Anyway, I really wanted to install Windows 7 on one of my computers but I have none that I can spare. The only one that I can really spare is the ASUS EeePC but the specs are really too low to run Windows 7 on it.

Oh yeah. This entry is written on my Bold. Although I can’t type on the Bold as fast as I type on the iPhone, I can still manage. Hehe.

It’s going to be a long week and I hate Mondays. Have a good week ahead guys!

Idiots!

I was at The Curve for an event last month and saw this car.

Seriously, what the hell is wrong with these people? I was early for the event, so I came down from my car, touched the bonnet and it was cold and if you look at the pictures, the owner had the steering lock on, which means that this person parked the car there for quite some time already and with the steering lock on, it’s going to me some time more!

I took these pictures, went to the management office and show them these pictures.  They said, “OK! OK!”.

I went to my my event, then I noticed that I forgot my car park ticket in the car.  I went down to my car, 1 hour later, and this car is still there.  The management didn’t do anything, the car was still parked there.

DAMN THESE PEOPLE! Please be a bit more civic concious!

BlackBerry Storm

I got myself a BlackBerry Storm last week and I love the BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS) features.  I have to commit RM120 to Maxis now though.

Touch + Click screen concept is really good but I have to admit that the implementation sucked big time.  I can’t see where I type since my finger is always covering the character I’m typing, I can’t touch type on the Storm like I do on the iPhone as you’ll need to click on it to register your strokes and the multi touch implementation really disappointed.

Maybe I’m too used to the iPhone but those were valid reasons.  I am doing less with the BlackBerry than on the iPhone.  I find myself typing more errors than ever!

However, I have to say this, the BlackBerry gave iPhone a run for its money.  It’s one of the better phones I’ve used and I once thought of giving up the iPhone for this.  Luckily I didn’t.

I’m thinking of trading in the Storm for a Bold, since it has the buttons I need on a “regular-non-iPhone” device.  Any takers?
