The other reason why I stop buying PCs custom made from Sim Lim is because no one wants to honour the warranty when things go wrong. It’s pretty much the same deal with Google’s Nexus One. Oh, it’s a hardware problem, go to HTC; HTC says no it’s a software problem, go to Google.

Things Development Status
Interesting UI and metaphor design for the development status page of Things. Bad news is that there’s no end in sight for Over-The-Air Sync.

Instead of commenting on and attempting to “debunk” other religions when you know nothing about it, how about just concentrating on preaching what you’re suppose to?

An undesirable feature
So the UOB guy calls and tells me that not having monthly statements sent to me is a feature of Campus accounts; you’re suppose to check your statements online, which only shows you the current and previous month statements.

A stock rate previously known to be $3,000 for the cover of Time [...]

Signs of bad Mac software
Follow up to my previous post on tell-tale signs of bad Mac software before you even use it.

I’ve seen how my friend struggled with the interface, and It always seem like a piece of unpolished software. Today I decided to install it to compare the RAW outputs with Lightroom.

Film bigots II
I took issue with a bigoted and misleading write-up by a group of “elite” film photographers at Anti Lomography with my previous post. Someone, who posted a comment under a link to rangefinderfilipinas.com, replied: Sorry, but you missed the point. Or a lot of points, I should say. If you read past the ‘about’ page, [...]
