I watched the Samsung Galaxy Note launch event, the one that was held in London, the start of its world tour. No, I wasn’t there physically, but I watched it through webcast. The event was, overall, pretty impressive. I was particularly interested to find out how Samsung was trying to pitch the Galaxy Note, which in my opinion, was too large to be a phone, yet too small to be a tablet. Samsung thinks so too, so, what are they…
I’ve been blogging quite a bit on AKG headphones lately. No, not on this blog, but on Omy’s K3003 Sound of Luxury blog. So if you have been wondering why posts on this blog has slowed down, particularly if you discount all the AKG related ones, well, that’s why. From 1 Dec, you’ll get a chance to vote on that Omy blog, and stand to win the AKG Q460 headphones, and I stand to win their flagship K3003 in-ear headphones….
The AKG Q350 Quincy Jones in-ear headphone is one of the three Quincy Jones signature line of headphones from Harman’s AKG division. The other two models are the Q701 over-the-ear cans and the Q460 on-the-ear headphones. The Q350 stands out as being stylish and ultra-lightweight, very portable and definitely very convenient for anyone who is always on-the-go. The most important question, of course, is how does the Q350 perform, and does it live up to the reputation of the legend…
This would be my second solid state disk. I finally got to the bottom of the occasional (but getting more frequent) problems with freezing that occurs a few seconds after resuming from sleep on my MacBook Pro. After a fresh installation of Mac OS X Lion and replacing all other hardware, the only thing left to suspect was my OCZ Vertex 2 SSD. It was somehow locking up. So I’ve sent it in for RMA. Sadly it would take about…
I had the opportune few moments to try out AKG’s latest flagship in-ear monitors, the K3003, a couple of days ago. There is definitely an air of exclusivity and elegance surrounding the K3003, starting the moment you unbox it. It’s like opening a jewel box. There is no bling in the gray box itself, but the K3003′s stainless-steel shell almost seems to be sparkling, and the whole packaging certainly exudes a sense of premium quality. Now, there are in-ear monitors,…
The whole family visited Cafe Cartel for breakfast a few days ago. The kids wanted McDonalds, the Wife wanted something Chinese, and in the end we compromised. What the kids really wanted was hash brown, and Cafe Cartel does serve hash brown. (It wasn’t good enough for Vanessa though, she had to have McDonald’s hash brown…) So we sat down, flipped through the breakfast menu, and placed our orders. Pretty simple and straight forward.
I saw this QR Code posted in an advertisement appearing in the Sunday Times yesterday. QR Codes are not unfamiliar to me. I’ve known about a few types of 2-D codes for a long time. QR Codes are not entirely new in our mass media either. With so many people carrying smartphones capable of scanning QR Codes, marketing companies have been getting on the bandwagon to reach out to tech-savvy consumers. What’s interesting about this particular QR Code is that…
Our family vacation, this year, was to Hong Kong. We spent 8 days, two weeks ago, taking our time to visit the things that tourists visit. The two kids came along. This is the second overseas vacation for Ian. We didn’t bring him on our trip to Japan last year, because we thought it would be too difficult to manage him then. They’re one year older now, and so, okay, we’ll try this year. Overall it was a really fun…
