New toys I got from KL~

This is what I set up for Yumiko's Bedroom Series, very simple, rely much work on post procesing though~ Yumiko is one of the best model I ever met so far~

Apple. You Rocks.

I have not seen nor did I ever imagined a newer version of a highly acclaimed OS actually came up with a much more featured version with such a quote:

'Snow Leopard takes up less than half the disk space of the previous version, freeing about 6GB for you — enough for about 1,500 more songs or a few thousand more photos.3'

...and even my dad can use it now cos he may well be writing a chinese character right on the touch pad itself! Check out: http://www.apple.com/macosx/refinements/

This is what I called cool, Windows!

Sony Ericsson W810 **FOR SALE**

I am letting go this phone any reasonable price, please call if interested, TQ~

You can see the specs of this phone by visiting here.

Starting Offer: RM400

I really like that as a Travel Camera...

... just wondering how much more features can the manufacturer packed into such a small device. Love the Panning-Panorama-Auto-Stitch (whatever they call it) feature, the HD movie, and the G Lens (if it live up to the name), etc...

Another article I have 共鸣 with...

Windows is so bad

American businesses lose billions of dollars a year to lost productivity from using windows computers for business, instead of computers that work, like Apple.

The only reason I mention this again is because I had to stop what I was doing (formatting my recent Northern California photos to share) and help my wife get her P.O.S. windows computer, provided to her by her multi-billion-dollar employer, to print something. Whatever crappy Microsoft software she was running stopped, and we both wasted another half an hour doing what Apple always just does.

Using Windows is like living in a Communist country. It wears you down and tries to make you think that you owe it your allegiance. Weak people say "I can't beat the Communist government" or "all the people in my industry use windows, so I have to, too," and we all lose.

Our duty as Americans is to keep the world free, and stop Communism anyplace it might sprout. America doesn't sit around idly and let bad things happen. America gets out and brings freedom to people all over the world, whether they live in Iraq, Afghanistan, or anyplace there are problems. So why do Americans settle for the daily hassles that trying to use windows brings?

You can do your part by using Apple, which just works. All your software runs on it, and if not, you can run Windows on Apple computers anyway, and so what: Apples open all your windows files and sends them just fine.

I remember back when I had a job and my employer's crappy $4,000 windows laptop was in for one of its usual repairs for the week. I continued to work unimpeded on my personal Mac.

When I met my boss and handed him all the paperwork he wasn't expecting to get, he said "I thought your computer was in the shop?" "Yes," I said, "so I did this all on my Mac." He had no idea that all our secret and proprietary hoop-de-do files worked even better on my Mac than the windows crap Tektronix used, like most computationally more foolish US businesses.

Last week a colleague asked if I knew how to fix his virus-dead computer. I responded "Buy a Mac." I was right: he was on a windows computer, which are designed to get viruses so that you have to replace them every couple of years.

Me? My laptop is over 5 years old and runs perfectly, any my main Mac is over three years old and runs flawlessly.

OK, the windows P.O.S. finally choked out my wife's document, so I can get back to my own work. Criminy, windows still can't print word-processor documents as well as DOS did back in the 1970s. If you've been watching this as long as I have, it's obvious that windows doesn't work, and will never work properly, because it is designed to work that poorly.

In case you were wondering, I never have to restart my Mac, while of course the fix for my wife's P.O.S. was to restart it. My Mac runs perfectly for months on end. I only turn it off if I go away shooting for a week.

Sad, but true. Windows hurts America. All these little "computer problems" cost time, which costs money. All these little glitches add up to billions of dollars in lost productivity, which costs everyone jobs, except the folks overseas who support windows computers. This is not acceptable, which is why I have no tolerance for windows and its finicky defects that require you to be a hacker just to get it to go.

If you want to get something done, get an Apple. It's all you'll need for a very long time.

Nikon... you are getting so much better in market positioning these day, well done~

Price Drop! Is D700x coming soon?

http://shashinki.com/shop/nikon-d700-digital-camera-body-only-full-frame-12mp-cmos-live-view-image-sensor-cleaning-p-2683.html?osCsid=1736783682b6e8e22e221b76e106374e

I am falling in love with Nikkor 85mm f/1.4 more and more everyday~

Shoot handheld at 1/320s - f/1.4 - ISO 100, click on the image to zoom to full size at 72dpi. The sharpness of this lens is clearly seen on the model eyes. This lens is worth every ringgit I paid for it. If I didnt buy a diamond ring, I would buy another one of this! lol~

My 1st pair of shades?

How is that? I insist on wearing glasses, so this is one of those design which has a clip on inside the shades... 

I need a notebook that dedicated to Photography~

What the heck is this???!!! I have a dedicated scratch disk allocated for Photoshop, and he still complains more!! I have got tons of photo waiting for my editing, who can help?

Hhhhhhhheeeeeeeelllllllppppppp~

Am I ready for FULL SWING?

Naaaarrrr.... I still need more time.

But one thing for sure, no more new lens for a while, otherwise I need another new bag~

Test Photo for 85mm f/1.4...

I was about 5 feets away from these 2 ladies, and focus on the back lady. Here you can see how thin the DOF can be at f/1.4!! The front lady is only about a feet away from the back lady yet still out of focus at a good degree~

Here is even a better example: I was about 12 feets away from these 2 gentlemen. Focus on the latter guy, Mr. Zero is just next to him. You can see again how blur Zero can get even at such a long distant away~

I am having HONEY MOON with my Nikkor~

Went out with Zero today, thinking of getting a Monopod, then Zero bought a new 50mm f/1.8, then I gatah gatah try the 85mm f/1.4, saw the brilliant Depth of Field, can not tahan, broke my bank, took the money, and see what i have got? ;-)

85mm f/1.4!! What else?? My first f/1.4 lens~

YES, it even smells good~

It feels heavy in my hand man~

This is f/16 at the minimum aperture...

...and this is, ofcos, f/1.4~

It take a 85mm filter thread, got to spend more money on a filter...

Black(berry) in white(screen)

Sh*t you Max*s!!

1. My 1st unit has a broken volume key.
   
2. My 2nd unit can not send out sms, the only remedy would be taking the battery out and out back to restart.
   
3. Yesterday, my 2nd unit screen turn white, I can't do anything including:
   

• Syncing my unit to Yahoo!
• Make a call
• Receive call
• Check my Calendar
• and all basic PDA functions

I called again Friday (now already 2 weeks using it) they said my loan unit is not yet arrived due to delay (supposed to arrive in 3 days after making report) and even if arrive they need to take my unit send to KL to verify the fault, if KL cant solve they need to send to Singapore to check, turnaround would be abot 1 month.

OK Max*s, I surrender, I admit it is my fault that I didnt research your Balckberry enough before making the purchase, it is my fault that your Network has not yet 100% compatible to the latest Blackberry Bold, it is also my fault that I asked for a refund like a rude child asking for a unreasonable Ice-Cream after lunch. Can you just FIX my RM2,200 'trust money' to your esteem company or not?

Check my previous post about my Blackberry here.

Guys, It's official!!
