Touch, touchy, Touch!

On wed, I just got a new cool gadget. :D

myTouch_01

It’s not iPhone but iPod touch, 2nd Gen. The picture above looks really like a dummy, right? Due to some stupid reasons, Malaysia here was delayed. Only until now, 2nd Gen iPod touch just on store but with limited stocks. Well, I get ‘Touch‘ from Hong Kong instead through a friend of mine, with much lower price.

What’s inside the box?

Quick start guide book
Apple stickers
Dock adapter
Lame-cheap earphones
Small-tiny polishing cloth
USB-2.0 cable for charging and sync
And 8GB iPod touch

So what’s new with the 2nd Gen ‘touch‘? There’s volume control buttons at the left-side and with built-in speaker. The built-in speaker is rather soft, do hope the future firmware can make it louder. Internally, the new ‘Touch‘ has a different processor. As the result, 2nd Gen ‘touch‘ can not be Jailbreak (for now).

Thickness? It is not slim compare to 1st Gen. The slimmest is just the optical illusion. It has a rounded-curve on the side . I’m very impress with the weight, it is rather lighter than I thought.

It must be synchronized first with latest itunes software before you can use it. I will be using this gadget, ‘Touch‘ as a portable surfing & gaming device. There’s tons of cool game available on the AppStore. It is a pity that it can’t be jailbreak for now.

Gingerbread House

I have known this bakery shop since last month ago. Only only now I go to this bakery shop. It is located at Bormill, 3rd mile, Kuching. This bakery shop, GingerBread House, is quite unique, almost like Big Apple.

Why I say so? Gingerbread House is not only a normal bakery shop but also a ‘light’ cafe. It provides drinks, cakes and breads (of course). And one more thing, WIFI is also available and ones can online at there while enjoying those delicious breads.

Sadly the area is pretty small, even at the bread section. I have bought some buns, blueberry cheese stick, tuna onion bun and etc. ‘Ginger‘ is not my favorite, so didn’t get any ‘ginger‘ bread.

Hello, I’m A PC?

VIN: I’m a mix-breed of PC and Mac, here.

A new 2nd phrase Microsoft ad campaign just released awhile ago. This time, Microsoft uses Apple’s stereotype of ‘get-a-mac‘ ad. Previously it was Gates/Seinfeld ad and it was kinda a big EPIC failure. I’m not really a big fan of ‘get-a-mac‘ ad because Apple really indirectly bashing Microsoft’s Windows and lately the Apple ad getting directly bashing Vista instead. Microsoft never return the favor until now.

The Microsoft version of ‘I’m a PC‘ really is a great marketing ad and it really shows that PC’s are not just used by people in offices in suits (like PC guy in ‘get-a-mac’ ad), but by people of all walks of life.
