Apple ‘iPhone’ 5 years ahead? Or copycat product?

How do you create the mobile phone of the future? Well, if you were Apple, you would take an award winning design, tweak it a little, I mean, very little… And then spend a lot of money on publicity to claim that it is 5 years ahead of its time.
Every single feature the new Apple Newton PDA, I mean, iPhone has is so 5 years ago!
Personally, I won’t buy this product. No tactile buttons, means cannot drive and SMS at the same time… er… not that I do it… and no 3G for the phone of the future? Hmmm…

Copycat product?

Original form factor? Doesn’t it look disturbingly like the LG phone on the right? Check out this post from Engadget Mobile…

Killer toys… why didn’t I get any of these while growing up?

Remember when we were young and toys dig out our eyes? Those were the good ‘ol days.

You don’t really see them nowadays. Kids have gone soft! Or have they?
10 fantastic toys here! They all looked really cool! Some, like the Fisher Price motorised bike that only accelerates are pretty current.

I particularly like the “radioactive kit“. It even comes with your very own Uranium 238! To think Saddam went through all that trouble trying to get his radioactive stuff.

The lunch affair…

What started out as a typical boring lunch at Thomsom Plaza turned out to be more than I bargained for.

Just 15 minutes before that, I was strolling in the food court wondering what to eat when I suddenly decided that eating at J’ai Thai might be a good idea. Well, it wasn’t. The food was too sweet. From the fried tang hoon to the iced coffee. I’m still shaking from the overdose of sugar as I type. Well, that is not the highlight.

I was sipping my iced coffee when I felt this massive object falling over. I managed to avoid whatever it was that was falling, half expecting to be scalded by some hot boiling water only to see this huge women in mid drift fall onto the floor with a loud thud.

She was pushed to the floor by another huge women who was screaming at the top of her voice cursing and swearing that her husband is having an affair! All this time, the husband (very small size) was slowly creeping to the counter to pay up and leave.

Y’know what? Their pandan chicken was barely touched! Wat a waste of food.

Here’s the moral of the story. If you’re small built, don’t find a big sized women. I would have taken pictures but I think self preservation at the time was more important.

This bitch wanted a piece of me…

BitchSo, what do you do when you’re attacked by a dog? You can’t possibly attack it back? People have been know to get jailed for that!

This bitch resides in my neighbour’s factory and it turned nasty on me a couple of weeks back. I really do not know why. It used to ignore my existence until recently.

Now it growls at me whenever I walk past the factory and a couple of times, it charged at me only to stop shot of attacking me.

Then last friday, why I was walking back to the office after a nice meal and being oblivous to the world, this stupid thing crept up on me and took a nip at my ass!

Today, I was doing my usual pacing while on the phone thingy and it charged at me again.

Okay, I have to admit I did contemplate biting it back, but I really do not want fur in my mouth.

Do we have a law that protects me from being abused by animals? I think the bitch is having a pretty swell time terrorising me. Would attacking it the next time be called a pre-emptive strike and therefore absolve me off all liabilities?

Oh, what a cruel world!
