Not Perfect

It’s recently been found that the old plastic Macbooks have started show signs of wear and tear. Pressure and hairline cracks starting to appear all over the outer casing is a sign of more bitching and moaning to come from the general public.

I guess that because Apple has modelled itself as a company of product and service ‘perfection’, any imperfection however small is deemed unacceptable by anyone who purchase their products. Especially if we’re talking about the MacBooks which are so much more expensive compared to the other laptops out there.

The funny thing is, I don’t see it as imperfection. I just see this as something ordinary. After all, everything breaks down sooner or later and Macs are no exception. Even the Aluminium Unibody Macbooks. Give it some time. It’s cracks and flaws will start showing soon enough.

Hell, if this were a Dell or HP or any other brand, people would shrug and move on. But no, this sense of ‘Apples must be perfect’ has spawned a whole Flickr album full of people who just upload pictures of their chipped cracked and broken Macbooks.

Stop bitching people. It’s normal.

Twitter

Being a tyical GenY, I like my technology to be as mobile as possible. I love my internet access and I will always want the most up to date information possible.

Which is why I was super thrilled when I got the email saying UTS now offers WPA access for smart phones. But seriously, “smart phones”? Lol who are they kidding? Now this means I won’t have to rely on my laptop for internet access anymore!

Now, just to divert a bit, I’ve long been a part of the blogging community. I’ve seen the rise and fall of GeoCities. Now that’s saying something =\.

But I’ve since gotten a Twitter account.

Now being the ower of an iPod touch (and perhaps soon an iPhone), I also have both a WordPress app and a Twitter app. But here’s the twist, what would be the point of using a microblog when I have the power to publish on a full size one?

I mean sure, not everyone has an iPhone and thus access to the WordPress app but really now… the iPhone population isn’t exactly small now is it?

…

In writing this post, I’ve just realised that someone probably has a WordPress app and can integrate both your WordPress and Twitter posts O_o…

…Sorry for the pointless post :S
