Unboxing of the Apple Watch Collection (Stainless Steel) with Black Sports Band.

No more Siracusa OS X reviews

I started with the Mac later than most long timers of the Mac Community, with my first Mac being an iBook (the last one assembled in Taiwan) running Mac OS X 10.3 Panther, and I had earlier used Jaguar (10.2) in school. The first major Mac OS X I was really excited about with my […]

Regarding the Apple Watch – Before the Apple Event

I 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

Recently I was in Funan for lunch and noticed something slightly different when I walked past Gamescore. MI (Multimedia Integrated) closed down. A quick check to its website revealed this; with a QQ number to facilitate the possible sale of its domain name to Xiaomi, since anyone searching for Xiaomi Singapore is likely to go […]

Regarding GTAT (GT Advanced Technologies)

“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.” […]

Steve Jobs’ Death Anniversary 2014

It has been three years since Steve passed. As we today look at our iPhone 6es, our iPad Airs, our new Mac Pros and wait longingly for the Apple Watch, do we remember Apple as the behemoth that bought Beats, stepped repeatedly on tiny has-been Microsoft, and shows the finger to Google? Or is Apple […]

MacRyu’s Mac Setup 2014

So in 2007 I posted my old setup based around my 2007 24″ Aluminum iMac and 12″ iBook on Flickr. Then in 2011 I posted my revamped setup based on the same iMac but with a relatively new 2010 MacBook Air. After another 3 years and spending the last 12 months not bothered with updating […]

Apple event confirmed for 9.9.2014

It’s been a long time, and here we go again! Just a few more days to go!

Avoid Buying Apple Products from iStudio (iScam Studio)

Happier 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 […]

Remembering Steve Jobs 2013

It has been two years since Steve passed away from cancer. His sudden departure to every single one of us devoted fans was just devastating, the news breaking the day after a lacklustre iPhone 4S Apple event. I could still remember the events of that day two years ago and how it affected me for […]
