Mojave: Microsoft to all Windows users “Haha you are all freaking idiots!”

Old news, but interesting nonetheless.
Microsoft Watch(a M$ fanboi site essentially)’s Joe Wilcox comes up with five reasons why the “Mojave Experiment” by Microsoft’s attempt to revive Vista’s image failed terribly.
In his own words;
“1. Microsoft treats its customers like they’re stupid.
2. Microsoft embarrasses Mojave participates.
3. The marketing campaign blames customers for Vista’s problems.
4. Microsoft denies there [...]

GadgetDotRed’s Report on Singtel iPhone Launch

Since I’m still too lazy to do a write-up on the Singtel iPhone launch, I’ll just link all of you to GadgetDotRed’s coverage for now.

The Dangers of getting an iPhone without a data plan/pack

So Singtel finally released the iPhone. While they are touting their iFlexi plans, they also had the courtesy to make the iPhone available to new and existing customers with voice-only plans, such as the iOne, iTwo and iThree plans (which I got) and the classic plans. Singtel also kindly “suggested” that customers who opted for [...]

MacRyu on Tech65’s 65bits and Channel 65 podcasts

Was invited by the cool dudes at Tech 65 to be on their 85th episode of 65 bits, Singapore’s premiere tech podcast. Check out the podcast here.
Was also on their video coverage of the iPhone launch on Channel 65.

iOne Plus + BBoM 1000 plan possible

Which is probably easily the best plan for most people out there.
This basically refutes my original argument about them restricting BBoM for iPhone to the ridiculously low data BBoM Plus. The best data plans will a combination of a iOne/iTwo/iThree plan with a BBoM 1000, since it has been proven that the average speeds attainable [...]

Softbank iPhone 3G Launch Video


Singtel Launch a crazy success despite unpopular plans

Singtel’s launch last night attracted “thousands of customers” just last night alone, with some customers queueing up for as long as 5 hours just to buy the phone.
More updates once I sorted out the photos.

Anyone interested to go Comcenter tonight to boo the event?

Anyone? Sound out here if interested.
Childish, but at least it allows us to vent our frustrations a bit.

Sad days……

Buying an Apple product shouldn’t be this stressful/saddening.
I will not be getting the iPhone from $ingtel.
Edit: Eventually I did get the iPhone from $ingtel, since it was possible to get the standard BBoM 1000 plan for the iPhone, and my brother was basically pestering me for my Aluminum iPhone.
