Ten reasons why MacRyu is the worst Mac blog in the world

by

1. I have too many Google Ads in the hope of earning more money
2. I shamelessly submit my own stories to Digg
3. I have almost no original news, just rantings of news posted elsewhere
4. I tried to copy Leah Culver’s advertising stance in the hope of getting a free MacBook but failed miserably
5. I write in bad english (Singaporean English, or Singlish as everyone else likes to call it)
6. I post irrelevant stuff all the time, including rantings of technoidiots
7. I have been contemplating about creating a podcast since months ago but have yet to do anything about it except buying a Logitech USB 250 Headset
8. I used to head the biggest tertiary Mac User Group in Singapore
9. I am only 93% addicted to Apple
10. I worship Steve Jobs and treat him as God

“What are you doing on Xmas eve?”

by

Today’s Christmas Eve and I thought I would go around asking some of my friends what they will be doing tonight. And got some really boring answers!

Yandao Hansen: “Er… Playing FF4 at home.” (Hansen is the President of the NUS Mac User Group, MacNUS)

Hosono: “Catching a show (I am Legend), then going for some drinks”

Boon: “Nothing. Why?” Me: “Just asking lor” Boon: “haha I tot you have great plans.”

Songwen: “Going to my cosplay friend’s house. X’mas party lor.”

Valerie: “Huh? Erm chionging (rushing) homework?”

Siewmei: “Staying at home for dinner lo.”

Jax: “Go watch movies leh. With girls! Hehehe”

Hell manz. Seems like people around me all lead boring lives. Oh me? What I will be doing tonight? Hahz… Well I guess I will be sitting in front of my Mac yet again, like what I have been doing for the past four years’ X’mas Eves.

Podcast.sg is a joke

by

These jokers think that Podcasting is all about recorded radio shows. Freaking idiots. Podcasting does not come from the media companies, but from independent producers like us.

Will shoot more later…. I’m dead tired.

Problems with Digg Login

by

I have been having problems logging into Digg.com for quite a while, and seriously have no idea if it is due to my ISP or to Digg. Since I still see a lot of new diggs daily, I am pretty sure it’s not Digg. Anyone can help? Since I can’t login to Digg there’s no way I can even digg this article.

Everytime I try to login, the blank page, shown below, loads, and nothing happens. Argh. This is driving me crazy.

P.S. Have tried contacting Digg about it but they did not respond even till now.

More proof that Mac bashers lack real intelligence

by

Just chanced upon this old thread on a overclocking forum. Are the mods there dumb or what? All the poor guy was asking was for a Windows-based Photobooth clone and they start talking about buying digital cameras and applying advanced filters and even mentioned virtualdub.

Just further proof that Mac bashers have no real intelligence.

The disappearing Mac Minis

by

Was at Funan today with a friend, Hansen, just doing some window shopping after successfully getting an exchange for my Logitech USB Audio Headset. Somehow the topic of a home media centre came up, and I was telling him how much better a Mac Mini will do the job compared to this stupid looking round saucer-like Sony Vaio we seen in a Sony shop on the second floor. We decided to go check out the price of the Mac Mini, and to my surprise and shock, none of the Mac resellers in Funan were selling the Mac Minis! I didn’t exactly probe the reason behind the non-sales, but something tells me that the Mac Mini will be no more.

Is the Mac Mini finally going to get killed during MacWorld? Will there be a much better and slimmer replacement?
