Posted March 16th, 2012 by Ryu at 3:52 am in iPad 3, Launch, M1 and Singapore. 2 CommentsJust some quick photos before I go to sleep. And an iPad Launch won’t be an iPad Launch without scalpers, with a big bunch of them gathering at Starbucks after purchase to get paid by the big boss. Oh and here’s my iPad. P.S. I’m going to Singapore Polytechnic in the morning for the notebook […]
I give up trying to find a job in Apple Singapore
Posted March 14th, 2012 by Ryu at 12:47 am in Apple Singapore, Editorial and Jobs. 6 CommentsWho am I kidding really? I was never really eligible for any position within Apple Singapore. I graduated with a BA in Communications and New Media, hardly something Apple Singapore wants. I don’t have a computer science degree, I don’t know Unix inside out, I don’t have call center work experience, The only vague Apple-related […]
The Apple Store is Coming to Singapore
Posted March 11th, 2012 by Ryu at 1:22 pm in Apple Store. 20 CommentsImage Credits: RyuWorks on Flickr Fact: the Apple Store (physical) for Singapore is almost ready. For many years Japan was the only country in Asia with official Apple Stores, staffed by peeps wearing real Apple T shirts and geniuses who will solve all your Mac problems. Then the China Apple Stores happened.

Wednesday night (or Thursday morning) is iPad 3 day, and here are my predictions; 1. No LTE Sorry, but LTE is really just not feasible in anywhere besides the States right now. In fact, it really isn’t even that feasible within the States, where LTE coverage is really less than ideal. 2. Retina Display, 2X […]
How to insult your Android-using friends / relatives this Christmas / New Year / Chinese New Year
Posted December 24th, 2011 by Ryu at 12:38 am in Editorial, Humor, iOS and iPhone. 1 CommentSo it’s the festive season again. If you are like me, this holiday is the perfect chance to tease, insult, those who have chosen, for whatever reason, to stand on Google’s side and use an Android. Unlike some lesser countries it’s highly unlikely you will ever find yourself in a situation where the number of […]

The 2011 M1 iPhone 4S Launch
Posted October 29th, 2011 by Ryu at 3:59 pm in iPhone 4S, Launch, M1 and Singapore. 0 CommentsWhile I didn’t go to any of the launches myself, that doesn’t mean no one went to one on my behalf. The guy arguably is a lousy photographer with a really outdated camera phone, but it beats having nothing at all. Here’s two shots from the M1 Paragon Launch on the evening of the 27th. […]
A tale of iPhones – The 4, the 4S and a little bit of the Origin
Posted October 29th, 2011 by Ryu at 3:46 pm in iPhone, iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S. 0 CommentsYeah yeah I know. I didn’t join the Starhub queue. I had a Starhub guy come to my place to give me my iPhone 4S in the comfort of my living room at 12pm sharp yesterday. Truth be told, I would love to go to the Singtel launch even though I’m not re-contracting with them […]
