A good Apple service story…
May 8th
Recently the set of headphones that came with my 3G iPhone (my second iPhone, I also had the Edge version) started to fail. I live nowhere close to an Apple retail store. What to do? Well it just so happens that Apple has a very painless way to request service for iPhones with their online service assistant. After providing them my serial number and CC info (just in case I decided to keep an extra set of headsets 
), they sent out a replacement set of ‘phones.
Pretty normal right? Well the difference comes in that I received my replacement set of headphones via priority FedEx! Less than 24 hours after submitting the problem, its solved. Apple also provides a pre-paid method to ship my dying headphones back to them.
Good show, Apple.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine (Uncaged Edition) Video Game
May 2nd
Pretty obvious how I spent the past few days eh?
After watching the Wolverine flick Thurs/Fri night, I decided to see if I could get my claws hands on a PS3 version of the tie-in video game which is cleverly named “X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Uncaged Edition”. Normally I stay as far away as I can from video games that try to tie in a movie. The reason is simple – the vast majority are absolute poo. In this case, I had seen a review about the game intimating that the game designers were true fans and that the game carried a Mature rating. So, after not being wowed by the film (I still liked it), why not give the game a chance?
X-Men Orgins: Wolverine “snick,snick”
May 1st
It’s about time I posted something here – after all I am paying for the privilege
Funny how with all the other movie reviewing sites out there, and this site’s supposed intent in being a tech-blog, I choose my first post to be a movie related one . Well, I like movies and have a certain soft spot for the comic-book based ones, so I guess it isn’t that strange.
So, today the movie in question is the much-hyped X-Men Origins: Wolverine. I (and my movie-loving sister) decided to give this movie “midnight-showing” status. Which of course means seeing the movie with the most receptive and somehow equally critical crowd – the hard core fans (or insomniacs). As with movies I know I am going to see in the theater, I tend to stay away from other reviews until I have actually seen the movie myself, but I did get a few early hints that this wouldn’t be another Ironman or Dark Knight.
