MSY technology - Would sir care for some lemons...?

it's sad sometimes when one loses a friend/acquantance. Just imagine...you knew this person...and though sometimes they were rude and couldnt really careless about you unless it was of benefit to them you still dealt with them as you also gained some benefit from dealing with them....such is the case today.

I love computers. I love building and upgrading computers. Not only my own beloved machines but i love helping friends build and upgrade their machines....that being said i buy alot of computer components, which sadly brings me to todays events...

...which can be read in this letter of complaint.

the damaged heatsink

...and warped...clearly this item has been used before i bought it...

proof of purchase

what can i say...but y the hell would i want to damage merchandise that i bought for my own use and then waste time driving back and forth from my residence to the store just to get a refund or replacement?... it's a sorry state of affairs when we live in a developed nation and we have to deal with third-world mentality...we should should b more careful...and i definitely won't be going to MSY technology in north Plympton ever again.

looks like im not alone. I just found out about this review website. You read more about MSY technology here

Thats no moon...its a space station

It's that time of the year for computer upgrades. Though the time of the yr doesnt really stop me from a pc upgrade i picked up this Gigabyte gtx 275 yesterday on the back of the new "modern warfare 2" video.

This excellent card replaces my trusty XfX 8800gt xxx edition that has served me well for the last 2 years and which will be serving its remaining yrs in my new edit suite which i will be building in the next few days.

The gtx 275 is supposed to give near performance levels to the gtx 285, even more so if u overclock. But look at the size of this beast when compared to the 8800gt.

Gtx 275 on top is slightly longer than the and 8800gt at the bottom

Gtx 275 on the left and 8800gt on the right. 8800gt looks kinda anorexic in comparison. Cant wait for modern warfare 2...run nOObs

Malice and Stupidity

Was in K-mart Kurralta park today.

When proceeded to chk out were 3 counters open. 1 counter was a express lane and had the longest queue. The other 2 counters had no-organised queue. Just a herd of people waiting so i went up and asked a plump, caucassion, bogan female at the front of the herd, which counter she was queuing for, her reply...."i'm in both queues" ... at that time i remembered an appropriate saying

"Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity."

i joined the express lane.

Toilets of the world unite...

Came across this quirky little article whilst on holiday.

On the very same day in a public toilet in Kuala Lumpur, i came across another quirky little article.

I don't know what he means by a "world-class" city or what world he is refering to. Maybe it is "The Planet of the apes"
