These are the chronicles of an insane geek!

Is that an iPad?
May 19th
Did you know that in China there is an iPad rip-off that runs on Windows? Just get one of those and prance around at our local shopping complexes and you can bet your ass everyone would try to take a closer look at it, that is if they are not asking why are you walking like that.

Netbook for The Man
Mar 5th
The Man had come to me and asked me about my old laptop. I told him the mainboard plastic thingy with lots of electronic stuff, 20 times more that the one his holding; I’m talking about his handphone, was busted and the service centre told me that it would cost roughly about RM700 to fixed it. The Man was thinking to use it to learn using a computer. I told The Man adding a few hundreds we can get a new one, Netbook that is.
New leased of life
Oct 10th
Yes, thank you Sahana for pointing me to this. I owned an iPod Shuffle, the first generation that is. Back then, I think it was in 2005, my shuffle was one of the gadget that I wouldn’t leave home without. Love the earphones that come with it. Can you believe it that it cost RM100+ just to replaced the earphones. While some might not like the lack of screen to show the songs that are playing, but if it’s your shuffle, you should know what’s playing because you put it there in the first place. Unless you use random insert; which I doubt you people would use it regularly, most of us out there like to pick what we want to hear. After looking at the video above I still love my shuffle.
Simian likes to watch chirping bird
Oct 8th
Did I say simian? Yes I did. We are a bunch of apes who can’t get enough of our mobile phone, myself included. Boy my cat stinks! Obi had just lay down in between myself and my computer. I need to get you cleaned again gurl! Yeah, I’m the only one who washed her, hence why she sometimes hates me. Anyway, back to the mobile phone thingy. I’m sure you guys have noticed that mobile phones are slowly becoming our very own miniaturise computer, “it is what computer had become” they say. And a few of us, myself included again, do our surfing on the phone.
Now lately I’ve been doing a lot of twittering over my phone and find it quite a hassle to constantly check on updates via Mobile Web. Now over my computer, I use TwitterFox and TweetDeck to do my twittering. And I liked TweetDeck more because I can update my Facebook status; and even makes some comments using it. Now I try to look for TweetDeck application for my phone but it seems that you can only find it for iPhone. Drats! So I embarked on finding a twitter software for phones running Symbian 60. I tried a few applications, Fring, Twibble and finally Tweets60. 
Why Do Gadgets Make Us Happy?
Jul 9th
Just a few weeks ago Apple released its latest iPhone and hundreds of thousands of consumers flocked to the store to buy one, some waiting in lines for hours just to be some of the first to get the phone. Why all of this enthusiasm, dedication and love for a simple phone? Surely there are other devices out there that would meet the needs of these consumers. Is there something more than the simple drive for consumerism and status symbols going on here?
While the general feeling is that objects don’t make for true happiness More >
