I’m smirking while writing this post. Honestly, there’s so many Apple haters out there, but it’s just really ironic that non-Apple products are one way or another, taking on an Apple-style with their looks and designs.
Seriously, does this not look like an iMac to you? The wireless keyboard (which comes separately by the way) looks very much like Apple’s wireless aluminum keyboard, except Sony’s has a num keypad.

I can’t believe a fashion designer (Giles Deacon) decided to use Pac-Man as his inspiration for his collection at a fashion show!
The collection is actually pretty interesting. I’m loving the Pac-Man motif dress, but I’m just not so sure how I feel about the Pac-Man headdress…
Looks kind of heavy if you ask me, haha!

And when I say photo album, i mean a physical photo album that’s made of plastic and has those little insert pages for the photos. I’m definitely not talking about online photo albums, ‘mmkay?
I guess I just wanted to know because an officemate of mine has been coming to work, juggling two or three photo albums that she has to scan for her grandmother. Hahaha.
Which leaves me to ask, do you print out your digital photos and keep them in an album?

Even though the HTC Touch Diamond has been talked about in several tech blogs already, I just didn’t see what the fuss was all about.
As far as I’m concerned the HTC Touch Diamond was another boring BLACK smart phone that looked suspiciously similar to the iPhone.
So I never really took time to actually write about the HTC Touch Diamond.
Until now…
Apparently, in France the HTC Touch Diamond comes in seven different colors! Wooooow. Lucky are the French!
I told you, I get distracted by shiny, colorful objects easily, haha.
HTC Touch Diamond Specifications:

3G Network, WiFi ready, Bluetooth

Just 5 more days and Apple will be unveiling their new MacBooks! I’m sooo excited to see how the new MacBook Pros will be.
I’m actually contemplating on selling my MacBook Pro when the new ones come out, or just trading my old one and then add cash if my supplier allows trade-ins, hehehe.
So anyway, just a little teaser! The photo above has been circulating around cyberspace and it’s not really the actual new  Mac Book Pro, but it could be! Let’s wait and see!

Imagine keeping your DS Lite in these pretty, cute cases!
A little redundant, yes, but it just definitely shouts geeky gamer chic-ness!
I can imagine people give you the look when you pull out your Game Boy knitted case and wonder why you’re so old school, hehe.
These cases are made out of felt and is perfectly sized for a DS Lite. You can also use it as a make-up pouch, an iPod case or just for anything and everything!
