Posted March 7th, 2015 by Ryu at 4:50 pm in Apple Watch. 1 CommentI have been physically writing down drafts of blog posts on premium paper lately due to a newfound interest in fountain pens and the respective inks, and as dumb as that sound I thoroughly enjoy the process of writing after a multi-year hiatus from physical writing (I graduated from Media Studies “Communications and New Media” […]
MI (Multimedia Integrated) Closes Down
Posted March 1st, 2015 by Ryu at 10:22 pm in Uncategorized. 2 CommentsRecently I was in Funan for lunch and noticed something slightly different when I walked past Gamescore.

Regarding GTAT (GT Advanced Technologies)
Posted November 8th, 2014 by Ryu at 6:26 am in GTAT and Sapphire. 0 Comments“GTAT is a perfect example of why Apple should never work with American companies on manufacturing – they can’t take the heat.” “US manufacturing is dead and has been dead for decades. You don’t see Foxconn complaining about their contract terms the way GTAT did.” “GTAT is childish, pathetic and lame. Run by complete morons.” […]

Avoid Buying Apple Products from iStudio (iScam Studio)
Posted November 4th, 2013 by Ryu at 2:26 am in Avoid, Bullshit, iStudio and Scams. 55 CommentsHappier times, queueing up for iPad Air outside iStudio, before iStudio hit us with a scam. I had queued up for the first and second iPad launches at iStudio Paragon, due to a general dislike of the Epicentre stores run by Jimmy Fong. Long-time Mac users should share the same dislike due to the various […]
