today (and yesterday) was (NOT) a fairytale.

ive been SICK....the room keeps spinning and my head pounds, and the dizziness makes me feel nauseous, food never gets far down my gullet before i puke it all back out, i got a bloody fever and cough that refuses to go away even though i'm taking some hardcore cough pills. everything tastes so shitty too. i better lose weight from this ordeal, if not, i wouldve gotten sick for nothing.

i'm surfing the net, saw tons of cool things that were unveiled at the CES which was held like 2 weeks ago. damn idk why i'm always so slow.

i saw 2 cool things from the CES show:

1)

the charger that can charge phones on the go. it's like, you charge this slim metal pad at home, then after it's juiced up, you can slip it into your pocket and bring it out, when your phone goes flat, you just whip the metal pad charger thing out and lay your phone on top of it, and VOILA! fully charged phone ^^ so no need to bring your charger out and manically look around for a power point anymore. they even have BIGGER chargers for charging LAPTOPS and such. damn freaking cool right! (i don't really want it though, i don't think i would use it v often so it's kind of a waste of money to me)

kk i show u pitcha:





item number TWO:

i want this SO BAD.

i wanted the apple tablet at first (for those of you who dunno, apple is gonna unveil a new tablet on jan 27, i'm keeping an eye out for future reviews and such, rumour has it that it won't be a fully functional laptop kinda thing, more like an oversized iphone. if it's running on a half-assed OS like the iphone, and not a FULL computer OS, then well, i think it'll be rather retarded, who wants a giant iphone right? LOL but if it's gonna have full notebook capability, except fully touchscreen, then that'll be quite cool :D) also, people are saying that the apple tablet will provide itunes LP supprt. i don't really care about that, cause i like vinyl records, but i don't have any. lol. so it's useless to me.

anyway. item number two that i want so DESPERATELY is the ASUS NX90, a collaborative effort between ASUS, and OMFG, BANG & OLUFSEN!!!!





 


apple fanboys are SO annoying. some idiot labelled a video of ASUS' CEO presenting this laptop at CES as "ASUS unveils Macbook Pro competitor at CES 2010". you can search for it on youtube. of course, apple fanboys just HAD to comment on the video, calling this baby a "fucking ugly piece of shit" or saying crap like "what, n*ggas never heard of headphones?" or "this could never even come close, probably would be alright/enough for LOW END users, but definitely not for MAC users".

okay first of all, what is with that last comment? so everyone who doesn't use a mac is LOW END? that other than mac users, everyone else in this world is just crass low class riff raff? what bullshit.
apple fanboys need to jump off their bloody high horse. most mac users aren't like this, my friends who use macs are chill and can appreciate PCs, but apple fanboys are definitely more rabid than anyone else in the world. but one thing i've noticed about mac users is that they always LOVE to say that their Mac is like, better. they show me their macs and go "see, so cool right? this is why i bought a mac and not a PC" like goddammit just shut up already. i've used a macbook before, i absolutely LOVED it, but honestly, both windows and mac are almost the same. they just LOOK very different and run differently and have different target audiences, but i like both. windows allows for way more personalization. whereas for a mac, their window borders are always silvery grey, no variety at all -.-
sure it's sleek, but it's so boring.

yeah so anyway,  back to my point, it's wrong on SO MANY LEVELS to say that the NX90 would suffice for low end users but could never satisfy a mac user. firstly, we're not lower end than mac users, in fact, mac fanboys are prolly lower end for being so narrow minded and just blindly worshiping apple's every move and product.

as for the other comments, yes, but people don't wanna use headphones all the time, it damages the ears, dumbnut. so when music is played aloud, the NX90 is gonna pwn the macbook ANYTIME. yesh see those 2 panels at the side of the ASUS notebook? those are speakers! they're on the top instead of the bottom cos when it's opened up, if theyre on the bottom, they would face the sky, so it isn't such a treat for the ears, whereas when it's on the top, like this lappie, the speakers will directly face the user, so the sound is better.

well, most people say windows vista < EVERY OTHER OS, but windows 7 > snow leopard. so windows has improved by leaps and bounds. they practically overhauled the nightmare that was vista. but can the same be said for mac's new snow leopard OS, which is just a minor upgrade from the leopard OS?  most likely not. i love both though, as a person who's used both. i just think it'll be more worthwhile to get a windows 7 - running laptop than a snow leopard- running one, cause 7 is gonna be around for QUITE A WHILE (considering it's still new and incredibly stable and all) whereas i foresee a new OS in the next year for apple, they NEED to have a new OS out soon to compete with windows, everyone knows apple's OS has been essentially the same for quite a long while, so it's getting boringgg.

and don't say this laptop is ugly just cause you favour all things mac. I THINK IT'S PRETTY DAMN SEXY. and, do i need to repeat, it's designed by f***ing BANG & OLUFSEN!!!! b&o could never be ugly, even if they TRIED.








omg i dont know why i just went on some tech-related spiel. if it were about all the latest news, i would be proud of myself for being such a good nerd and being so up to date on geeky things. but nope, the NX90 came out TWO WEEKS AGO, and windows 7 EVEN LONGER ago. so i can't even do a good job of being a techy geek, i'm so OUT OF DATE. so not cool. but anyway whatever luh, i STILL don't know what laptop i wanna buy to bring to australia. either a mac or a vaio or the nx90, idk.
