Apple VS Creative

Bee — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 06:36:50 +0000

“At heart, Creative is an engineering company that believes that every gadget should be stuffed with all sorts of features. In its eyes, this is giving customers value for money. Customers reciprocated by buying millions of these devices.

For Apple, it’s about fit for use. Find out what customers need and match it accordingly with feature offerings. Don’t fill gadgets with too many features that people don’t understand and won’t use.”

- Radio in an iPod – Aye or nay?

Shoe Lacing

Bee — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 03:23:43 +0000

Nothing much to blog about recently, because my life’s a bore. ZzZzZ…

Actually, no lah.

Came across a few interesting sites while I was doing my assignments (I have short attention span, shit). I seriously didn’t know there were sooo many ways of tying your shoe laces.

Images from Ian’s Shoelace Site.

Creative & fascinating. Some of them look nice, but I won’t take the trouble to try the complicated lacing methods, even the most common and basic Criss Cross Lacing takes me a long time to get it done. Why make your life c0mp|ic@teD? Haha!
