  1. Went to an Apple store today to check out the iPhones on display.
    Wanted to get one for my wife who preferred the gold iPhone Plus.

    I called the Genius and asked if they have the gold 6+ 64GB.
    He smiled and said, "Only have space gray and gold!"
    I continued to ask if they have the 64GB in the store. He said, "Oh, no have!"

    When I asked when it will be available he just smiled and said, "I don't know!"

    Went to the DTAC shop nearby and went through the process again.
    There I was told that they have it.
    When I got to the counter, I was presented with a pre-order list...

    The lady told me that she'l give me a call in 2 days.
    Keeping my fingers crossed.



  2. Half a million baht for that machine?
    There is free one that I know - the human tongue.

    What they should look at is the standards of cleanliness in restaurants.

    I once ordered a takeaway of chicken macaroni from one of the restaurants here and this is what I got. Halfway through it, I found half a cockroach in it. I looked but I couldn't find the other half.

    I went back to the restaurant and demanded for the other half. bah.gif

  3. I have the Samsung Tab S 8" and I am also looking for a way to connect this to a VGA projector. All Share Cast might be the most convenient solution but it's expensive and it uses HDMI. You might be needing another converter along the way. There is always a risk that a cable might not work. The best approach is to try first before buying anything

  4. A Macbook Air user here with a Mac Mini, an iPad mini, and old iPhone4, a beat up iPod touch, 1 iPad2, and 18 iPad 3s...

    I'd say the iWatch is fugly to say the least... It is way to thick and it is trying to do so much. Only Apple's presentation makes it look like the holy grail of watches. Who would be dumb enough to show photos of their latest vacation on that tiny screen? I can see that giant knob getting caught and pulled out by clothes or bag straps.

    Fugly and I would say way overpriced for its real value.

  5. I've never been married and have absolutely no intentions to change that. In my opinion, marriage is an outdated thing. I'll stay together with my girlfriend as long as we're both happy, and if one day one of us is not and we just can't solve it, it's time to move on. But that's just my personal view.

    Marriage is like a castle in time of war.

    Everyone outside is fighting to get in

    while everyone inside is fighting to get out alive.

    I am more of the latter

  6. Hello, professional photographers!

    A newbie here...

    I was wondering where I could buy the Nikon WU-1a Wireless Mobile Adapter for Nikon Digital SLRs in Bangkok and its price. I want to use it for my entry level DSLR; Nikon D5200.

    Any experience using this device? Are there other options for shooting remotely?

    Thank you in advance.

  7. Thanks for the replies.

    Grammar Nazis! Lock me up and throw away the key!

    I got quite messed up myself. FIGHTING is a verb too but they are using it in the wron form/tense.

    Yes...
    When someone says, "I am boring!"
    I want to say, "Yes! Gramatically wrong too!"

  8. My apologies.
    I just need to vent.

    I'm just wondering if I am alone in this.

     

    Every time I hear this, it sounds like fingernails to the chalkboard to me.

    A student goes to a competition...
    Students will have an exam...
    Teachers have tons of work to do...
    The basketball team plays agains the rival team...

    I hear my students shout, "FIGHTING!"

    It is meant to cheer, boost, or encourage someone.
    I guess it is also meant to stir the willies in me.

    Fist of all, it sounds grammatically wrong. the word FIGHTING is not a verb. I have gotten used to hearing the words GO! or FIGHT! to cheer someone on...

    I have tried doing my share in correcting this but this has found its way into LINE sticker apps spreading its use a lot more.

    Back to my question...

    Am I right in thinking that this is not grammatically sound?

     

  9. The good doctor is preaching about obesity while he is clearly overweight...

    He is not obese and his field is cancer actually.

    Can you point out where I said he was obese?

    I said overweight.

    His weight is irrelevant. He's a cancer researcher not a fad diet marketer.

    Irrelevant? Now your argument has become irrelevant.

    So let's talk about cancer and turn a blind eye on the health risks brought about by being overweight.
