Aspire One: Nice But Hella Overpriced

I was THIS close to plonking down for an Aspire One for the missus. Until I found out the Windows XP version in Malaysia is a fucking ripoff. Let’s see:

USA: 1.6GHz/1GB/160GB/WINXP/6-Cell Battery/RM1,316 (USD399)

Malaysia: 1.6GHz/1GB/120GB/WINXP/6-Cell Battery/RM1,699

That’s RM383 more for CRAPPIER SPECS. Look Acer, you want to rip us Malaysians a new asshole? Get in line. You ain’t getting my shrinking Ringgit that easy.

Let see if Dell is any better when they launch the Inspiron 910 this Thursday.

The Best How-To Thread In The Universe

This epic discussion on how to kill a fly without a fly swatter has been going on for over 3 YEARS.

Some of my favorite comments:

3. Superglue dental floss to the butt of the fly. Tie other end on your finger. You now have a mini fly-kite, with no wind needed! (this actually works better with junebugs and moths.)

6. Construct larger wings for your new fly pet. Make them out of paper, draw rockets and machine guns, then glue to fly wings. Conquer small third world countries with new destructo-fly air force. Works best with step 1. Post videos of maiden flight on youtube.

Phones of the Future

When it comes to mobile phones, Japan is years ahead of the rest of the world. While in Malaysia and most parts of the world Sony Ericsson’s current top-of-the-line camphone is the 5 megapixel C902, Japan has, well, EVERYTHING: Large, delicious OLED screens, 5 megapixel cameras with 3x OPTICAL ZOOM, barcode scanners, digital wallets, Sayaka Ando, etc. etc.

Just browsing through their website is like taking a peek into the future. Come on SE, where’s the lovin’?

Japanese Tourist Visa Requirements: Tighter Than a Frigid Virgin’s Vajayjay

They need written, certified documentation for everything. Bank statements, guarantee letters, a detailed account of manga read since puberty, list of dubbed Doraemon episodes watched, number of Sayaka Ando pictures collected etc etc INCLUDING proof of my status as a copywriter, as a tourist, as a human, as a mammal.

Thank you, you overstaying Malaysian scumbags who made all this possible. May your next piece of karaage lodge itself in your throat permanently.
