Stupid Ad

Check out this smug ad that Blackberry produced to promote their "untouchable" touchphone:



Puhleez... I think you'd agree that this is closer to the truth:



Now, this sharp Aussie blogger tells us why else the original Blackberry ad sucked:

The Evolution of iPod

Here's a short video of all the iPods ever made (excluding the special editions)...how many can you recognize? I'm proud to say I still own the 1st Gen iPod nano!



Just look at how thick the iPod used to be and how thin it is now. Aren't you thankful for technological advancement just so you can have 1000 songs in your back pocket?

Case Closed

If you haven't walked all the way into the depths of the store at EpiCentre@ION Orchard, you should. Especially if you carry your Macbook around without a case, as I've seen some people do (the horror! =O)

Why, you say? Because:
This is what greets you at the end of the path, right next to the iConcierge counter. A bevy of cases and carriers made specially for Macbooks, in all sorts of designs to suit your style. But that's not all - on other shelves nearby we spotted some sleek Macbook sleeves as well as the popular plastic shell. Although this was on a top shelf, it still managed to catch my eye:

The name Sleeve and the City suits it well. It's SHINY. And sexy (as long as you're a girl). And so Macbook-only. Imagine if you pulled out from this sleeve a...PC laptop. Nope, just wouldn't work. I really want to catch someone using this for their Macbook!

So now you know. Even if you don't find a need to protect your Macbook (more horror! =O) you'll surely want one of these cases just for their looks. I know I do.

Why should you only buy iPods from Authorised Apple Resellers like EpiCentre? Try getting your iPods at Pasar Malams or on eBay and you may end up like this guy:

Yeah they're pricier I know, but its an investment that will only save you money, time and trouble in the long run. Plus you can get rebate coupons for your genuine iPods here:

iPod - American or Not?

Some food for thought: is the iPod really an American product? Did you know that part of your iPods are actually made in Singapore?

Here, 3 patriotic bikini babes explain why good Americans should think twice before using the iPod:
