Steve Jobs 1/6th Collectors figurine

This Steve Jobs 1/6th poseable figure actually turned out better than I had expected. US$180 well spent! I’m glad I got both of these figurines.

iMac 2012

Went to checkout the new 27-inch razor thin iMac today in the Ginza Apple Store. It is simply drop-dead stunning. I want one!

SKYFALL

The 23rd James Bond 007 film, SKYFALL, finally opened in Japan today and I went to watch the earliest IMAX showing at 09:20am near my place! The movie is not very Bond-like but it was absolutely bloddy brilliant! Well worth the one month delay and well worth me getting out of so bed so early on a Saturday morning! Also, everyone who opted for the IMAX version got a free SKYFALL poster. Great stuff but dunno what to do with it…

My movie rating: 8.5/10

Remembering Steve

It’s been a year already since we lost one of the greatest innovators of modern times. There’s a nice remembrance video on Apple’s homepage which is essentially a slideshow of Steve Jobs paired with some of his famous audio clips.

Apple event on September 12th

Apple’s invitation design finally confirms the event date. Notice the shadow? Yeah baby, the iPhone 5! I skipped the 4S therefore the 5 is a must. Or does it simply mean they will have 5 new products? Nah, defo the iPhone 5…
