Another super rainy day in the city- thunder but nothing crazy.
Dinner at T&T Supermarket- my favorite part? The congee. Hot congee with preserved egg.
En route to WEM. Had a lovely time with trying to return my extra speakers at the Source. i cannot believe for the life of me that they are unable to print off something from the internet. This seems so ubiquitous in this time and age. I have an online receipt that they needed me to print and there is nowhere in the damn mall to print it- except this shady print store that also does electronics repairs. One of those all in one miracle stores. These guys were asking for 3 dollars to access my Gmail on their computer to get the receipt to print which would be 25 cents. RIDICULOUS. The worst part wasn’t the charge- which was stupid. The worst was the attitude they had. I ended up passing the Apple store which let me print off for FREE and without hassle. They even provided me with paper to print when it ran out. I don’t believe I am entitled to free printing. I would be willing to pay. But to access the file to get to the print job? That’s ridiculous. And to do with with attitude? Geebus.
From CNET- I’ve been really interested in Sony’s latest audio game since being enamored with their BTX500 speaker and Z series Walkman. The MDR-1R, while unfortunately being plugged in with celebrities- Magnetic Man and Katy B, don’t look it. They are actually really well designed and despite the lack of luxurious materials, still manage to feel great in hand as I tried them out in store. I got to try the BT version, and the APT-X codec was superb from my GNote II. Very very comfortable and certainly well built. Very pleased with Sony’s latest flagship.Image From TechRadar. I got to try the Xperia Tablet Z today in store and I was very impressed. It genuinely feels like a step above other tablets- the nine billion other android ones. And my BB Playbook. It has a really wonderful design (as per usual from Sony) and there are a lot of checks for me- microsd slot, dual speakers (not sure if the four grills are four speakers or two grills per speaker), Full HD screen and its light as hell. It really does the thin and light really really well. It doesn’t feel heavy in one hand at all. And in white? It looks fantastic. I was quite impressed with it and will be following it quite closely- much more so than Sony’s last iterations the Tablet S and P, which were mostly forgettable aside from the P’s unique but unneeded dual screen.
