Would you listen to an Octopus, a Parakeet or a Gypsy Lady?

I'm sure by now we all have heard of Paul the Octopus whom have been flawless in its prediction of the world cup results so far... and Mani the Parakeet whom have been flawless till this morning's match between Uruguay vs Holland when he picked Uruguay and finally seem to have lost its touch...





To think we used to listen to a Gypsy lady or any lady that dresses in Gypsy costume with a deck of cards or even more old school props like a crystal ball...

What do you think guys and gals? Paul picked Spain for tomorrow morning's clash between Germany vs Spain, will Paul finally lose his touch and get eaten released by its owners or will Paul be dead accurate with his pick which might propel him into Hollywood stardom (hmmm Paul the Amazing Octopus)... Only time will tell...

My bet is on Germany to win with a total of 3 Goals scored in full time. Oops maybe I should ask my frogs to take their pick too?

OMG the signal drop for iPhone 3GS is just as bad!


For those who can't view the video coz you're using iPhone or iPad, try the following...



I tried the signal drop test on a iPhone 3GS and it drop from 5 bars to 3 bars when I hold it with my right hand for about 45 seconds!!! OMG! Can you imagine this has been unknown to us all only until recently when SJ and Apple issued the apology statement? And this has been happening since 2007!!??

But then again, who would start to say that "I'll not buy the new iPhone 4!"  or "I'll stop using iPhone!"... Not many I suppose, look at the recent sales update from Apple... they've sold 1.7 million iPhone 4 since its released on June 25th!

Hmmmm any news on the pre order from any of the local telcos yet??

Can we hold our iPhone in any way we want?

This might come as a shock but SJ (Steve Job) and Apple hasn't been completely honest with us (the customers) since 2007 regarding its signal strength miscalculation... they have just issued an apology statement, their 3rd apology in less then 3 weeks (another shock for a company known for their fantastic marketing savvy)...

Apparently with the newly launch iPhone 4, the signal strength problem seems to be worse as customers in US and across Europe complains of more then 1 bar signal strength dropping... now should we still await eagerly for the new iPhone 4? Are we still getting the new iPhone 4? Will the sales of iPhone 4 exceed that of the iPhone 3GS last July? We can only wait and see since there's still no signs of a pre order from the 3 local Telcos (SingTel, Starhub, M1)...
