Burn Apple burn !!

Article: http://www.tweaktown.com/news/25553/google_files_lawsuit_that_would_see_multiple_apple_products_banned_from_sale/index.html As of my last entry, I believe most of you would've known how Apple is trying to play "dirty". Samsung sales has boast so much that it is getting to Apple and Apple's recent triumph on patent rights certaintly ignite the hatred and anger towards Apple's new direction; sue everyone and patent every single thing. Google has came out of their deep slumber, taking the dirty game to Apple, Motorola is still waiting to see if it should join. Clearly as the article mention "Apple's lawsuit against Samsung that was victorious earlier this week targeted relatively small things, like rectangles and other shape-related patent infringements. Google aren't being so petty, " "Motorola was one of the earliest mobile phone innovators, and much of Apple's success builds on our foundational work. We're considering...

Rotten Apple

In-depth review: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10000872396390444358404577609810658082898.html Recent news on the huge "Triumph" Apple Co. had over Samsung mobile, Apple's only true competitor in the touchpads and smartphones section has brought mixed feelings amongst many. Most of the Apple fanboys or loyal supporters has not much to say about this as they couldn't care less, while the anti Apple fans are left screaming at the unjust verdict held in Apple's favour. In a nutshell, Samsung has infringed a couple of patents Apple has in US. Eg. Design of the icons on phones and the shape of the smartphone (rectangular with round edges) Absolute absurd ain't it? I was never a fan of Apple dues to it's huge shallow fanbase, most Apple users aren't buying the product to maximize or utilize the product but instead use it as a fashion icon or a product of status and class. I would agree prior to this event that Apple was indeed a product of class, but not ...

Crisis.

1/4 of a century passed on for me, 26th come in less than 4 months. I'm a guy always with a plan, always got things figured out, my friends do, they ask me for ideas or advise, I thought I do too, but don't seemed that way. The job that I once dreamed about, may not be the job I ever wished to be in, my education has met a huge bump, a bump that I may require a huge U-turn to get it done, pending advise from my course administrator, I'd waste effectively 20,000.00 CASH. That's what I can't get out of my head. I think I might just be too impatient, impatient to grow up, impatient to succeed, to gain recognition ... Some once said, "Haste, is to slow down" Guess I finally know what it meant. Just overheated. If all fails, I will be taking a year or 2 sabbatical from school and from corporate life, I'd be doing temp jobs from events to cleaning plates etc, definitely working out that flabby body of mine before heading back. Trying t...

Kryptonite - Superman's Achilles heel. Education - My Achilles heel. A few years back, while watching this Japanese Animation, or Anime, Full Metal Panic, The Second Raid, there was this scene where 1 of the character was dying, in his dying breath he explained the "death card", somewhat about god hated men so badly that he just dealt t he death card and everyone would simply perish. Well, I was dealt 1 last Friday. I only had to pass my Intro to Economics, it was my 3rd and final try, 1st attempt was a total fluke, I didn't even studied for it but was told I had to attempt. 2nd attempt was 2 marks short, this time round I was 5 marks short. Weird? I thought so too. London School of Economics and Political Science DO NOT allow students to take a module more than thrice, which was bad news to me, I had a core module - Managerial Econs which Intro to Econs was the pre-requisite, therefore I am now forced to change my course of study from Accounting & Fi...
