New word for the day...

*pause*......*pause* Hmmm.....daymn...I totally forgotten the word!!!! Grrrrrr... Makes you wonder if old age begins to kick in.

What??? Another surprise?!?

Barely a year when the 12.4MP Full framed D3 and the 12.3MP Full framed D700 camera came out and Nikon launched its latest gun, the D3x Full framed 24.5MP in the United States and Europe? Status is that this fully professional camera will be out soon in the Asian markets. Prices is still to be announced but many pundits believes that it will cost around the range of the former D3. Hmmm...it makes you wonder whether the D3 is a better value for money compared to the already excellent D700 now that its replacement is around the corner. ^^

Latest gadget geeky Droolers!


A 16GB Sandisk Ultra Cruzer Titanium USB 2.0 Flash Drive (15MB/s Read, (MB/s Write) @ S$60 including tax. Opt for this rather than the faster, more expensive $99 16GB Super sexy switchblade Sandisk Cruzer Contour because of bang for the buck value, solid construction and smaller footprint especially when plugging it into the USB jack. More than enough to download TV Miniseries House & Heroes, a full Operating System and still have loads to spare!!!

Aaaaaa yes! This beauty will allow your notebooks to go super duper fiaaaast! Imagine if your notebook has 2 memory slots, 4GB of ram will not even allow you to stutter in your multiple internet browser windows or multi tasking in multitudes of open windows. A geeks dream come true! Corsair is one of the most sought after brand especially for gamers, let alone the workaholics R us. This small bugga asks for approx $40.


This next item is the Seagate 1.5TB 7,200rpm 32MB Cache cookamunga! Not the fastest hard drive in terms access speed as it is owned by the Western Digital 1TB (Black Edition), nevertheless it still rakes in at a highly respectable top 3 access times. But Dollar per Megabyte, its is easily the best you can get especially when you refer to acres of drive space. It rates in at approx. 16 cents per Megabyte compared to 21 cents for the latter. This should store my work, my movies, my music and my games for the next 5 years or more at $238. Off you go then to my server hot plug tray my luvlay!



Another Seagate external hard disk which is small enough to put into your breast pocket. It comes with a leather pouch, a USB cable and a free docking station (valued at $59) which is not seen here. It costs $209 down from $269, and even though it has a big discount, nobody in their right mind will buy an expensive external hard drive. But the clincher here was that it had a hard drive space of a whoopin' 500GB @7,200rpm! I wonder whether I should get one myself and exchange my puny notebook hard drive of 60GB with this? Hmmm..... thats a thought!
