Went to the Ala Moana Apple Store and got to play around with the new MacBook. I gravitated to the black MacBooks since they’re so distinctive in the sea of white Apple products. These MacBooks look nice. The finish is a matte black, not a high gloss that’ll scratch easily. The [...]

The techies of Ars Technica have written a thorough review of Apple’s new MacBook laptop. After reading this review, I’m amazed how this laptop beats the recently-released MacBook Pro that also costs more. Yeah, the MBP has extra neato stuff but performance-wise, the MacBook keeps pace.

It is what it isn’t on Part 1 of the Finals of Top Chef. I can’t believe Dave Martin was eliminated in the QuickFire, leaving Harold and Tiffani. It just didn’t make sense.
I purposely haven’t read the judges’ blogs (yet) to understand their decision. Given the criteria for the elimination, Dave seemed [...]

Just check out K Fed’s prominent jaw and beard - two traits suggesting high testosterone levels and masculinity. It’s human [...]

Perhaps, her hubby Kevin Federline cannot multitask, but boy he sure [...]

Just a few updates about my drinking addiction to coffee… I found the new Starbucks canned Iced Coffee drink at the market and tried one. Not bad. The coffee flavor reminds me of a weak version of Starbucks Double Shot drink. Low in calories and fat, nice can design, a little [...]
