Random Thoughts II

Read the news where a "robot" is sent to queue for the new iPhone in Australia? Do you think it will work in U.S.? For Singapore, possibly the whole "robot" will be gone.

Hmm, soon we will be sending robots to do everything - buy food, tickets, pick up your cars, kids, etc etc

Eaten a small piece.

Couldn't tell from the article whether the "robot" was just remote controlled telepresence like a drone or not. Wonder how responsive the thing is. Supposedly there are telepresence tours where people control a robot remotely to look around a place and interact with people. Also wonder how far it travelled -I doubt it could safely cross a street unless it had some really wide angle cameras coupled with really good response times.

Did you all enjoy moon cake?

Yes, I like the one without egg and I don't like the one with all kind of nuts inside. I like the simple one with green bean paste, red bean paste or lotus seed paste. However, I would not buy any right now. I prefer to buy them after the mid-autumn festival when I can get a huge discount of at least 50% off or buy 1 get 1 or 2 free .

Somehow, I'm reminded of the Matrix.

That night, I saw a "red" moon. But then, I thought it was due to haze from Indonesia and it was never reported that the blood moon is seen in Singapore.

I see. It was hard to capture the red moon from my phone. It's weird because I can capture it by video though. It was an awesome sight

I wish I could relive my life again with my current memories! Then I would buy up Microsoft and Apple stocks before the prices skyrocketed!

What Apple products do people here own? Want to share your experience?

I own a 2010 Macbook and iPhone 5s. The Macbook is kinda slow (if you compare to a new ones) but more than good enough for checking email, surf the web and online games. The iPhone 5s is good but not much better than the ancient Samsung Galaxy Q as I use it mainly for calling and texting. The great thing is when they have problem, I can bring them to Apple Store to fix for free at the Genius Bar . If they keep functioning or can be fixed for free at Genius Bar, I can see myself keep using them for many many more years without buying a new ones. Perhaps I am an odd person. I don't see all the latest version of MacBook, MacBook Pro or iPhone 6s, 6s plus would make my life any better.

What about you all? Want to share your experience?

I do not own any Apple products though I use quite a fair bit of MacIntosh in the computer lab when I was a uni student.

aww....next time when it's up. I was fortunate because my co worker reminded me or else I would've missed it too.

Same here. It's a great age to be: Car insurance decreases, able to rent a car without any fees for being under 25, being more physically active, and etc...
