A moment of courage that changes life

I believe that this story has been told over and over again in so many other forms and in as many ways, but still, it is worth re-telling how a little courage goes a long way that could change someone’s life. I’ll let the video do the talking…

24 Samsung SSD in RAID Configuration

My colleuges for the part time job shared this video during a short break between work. Showcasing some insane ways you could spend money which you have no idea how to spend (better still, donate to me!). Some Samsung marketing dude tried to show-off their flagship SSD products by constructing a PC built with…

Disk Space Myths

Just a while ago a friend of mine had some PC problems with a new tread of worm (again, Mac vs. PC, Mac wins!). Manage somewhat to get it fixed but ended up having weird disk space usage readouts, and that, I’ve still yet to figure out.

Honestly, this has to be the first time I’ve touched the iPhone, 3G or not. I admit I’m slow in picking up the trends. For a start, the iPhone feels just like the iPod touch with a phone function (duh…), so there wasn’t much problem converting over since…

Maxis iPhone Launch – Collection Day

Ah yes! The day has finally come for me to go and collect the much anticipated iPhone. Observing from the launch of the first day, it seems that little share the same enthusiasm level as I do. I think it is partly due to readily available gray market iPhones and also the abcense of pre-launch marketing campaign. It is sad to see such a great product getting so little attention.

Though I’m happy that I’ll finally be able to get the phone, the process of getting there was frustrating and disappointing…

Strawberries from Japan
