another gadget

i think i have to be restrained from entering anymore computer or IT exhibitions. next time, somebody please chain me.

just came back from COMEX and temptation got the better of me. bought a new mp3/media player.

i've been on a gadget buying spree this year. first was the new PDA, next was the laptop and now the media player.

i barely blinked my eyes when buying these gadgets, but when it comes to bags or shoes or other items mainly coveted by the fellow species, i'll get taken aback. i think i need to invest in a really durable and classic designed bag to carry these items. the bags i carry don't last me as long as i use these gadgets. *LOL*

mac & pc users

MAC USERS ARE

ARROGANT SNOBS

If you've seen those Apple advertisements on TV with a young, hip Mac user versus an old, slow PC user, you should get the idea that there's a bit of rivalry between the opposing computer camps. But why?

Because they have wholly different personality traits, say branding experts. Mindset Media, a US branding company that analyses the relationship between consumer behaviour and personality, surveyed 7500 Mac and PC owners. Its findings? Mac users are "snobs".

In comparison to PC owners, they're likely to visit Starbucks for coffee more often, buy organic products and drive a hybrid car. Mindset Media says that people who purchase Macs fall into what it calls the "Openness 5" personality category - which means they are more liberal, less modest and more assured of their own superiority than the population at large.

The rivalry continues...

who, me?? a snob?? let's just say i'm different from the rest. i rest my case.
