In case you didn’t know, which i doubt so, the PC show is now on-going at Suntec Convention Centre, occupying (gasp) level 3, 4 and 6.
Woah! Look at the size man!
I was there on friday and saturday and it is no joke trying to navigate within the sea of people. What i realised from this PC show is that it is the battle of the brands, literally.
Level 3 was dominated by Singtel and Sony, exposing themselves to anyone wanting to go up to level 4 and 6. Furthermore, Singtel is giving you a MacBook Air (gasp) when you sign up a 3-year interent plan. How cool is that?
Level 4 is the battleground of all the computer brands and the winners are those who occupy a good spot. When you enter the hall, ASUS, acer and Toshiba’s booth is just right in front of you. Dell is just right behind, but sadly heavily overshadowed by ASUS and acer. HP is stucked in a corner and sad to say, heavily covered by Toshiba banners. Compaq and Lenovo and also located at a corner and it is kind of hard to see them through Samsung and Sony (again!) banners. I guess you get the picture, right?
Level 6 is dominated by different small companies selling all kind of accessories. From hard disks to thumbdrives to earphones, you can find them all at level 6. The only major brands are Starhub, whose booth and crowd is a far cry from Singtel and Epicentre, the premiun reseller of Apple products. Speaking of Apple, i finally get the chance to have a first-hand look and feel of MacBook Air and boy, it is love at first sight. The feeling of carrying it in your hands is just so cool and it is hard to resist the sleek design. Luckily i am broke or else i might just bring it home. Haha
Drunk Fishing
An extremely drunk fellow decides that he wants to go fishing. He packs up all his tackle and sets out in search of a suitable spot. Eventually, he stumbles across a huge area of ice and decides that he’ll give it a go. Taking out a saw from his tackle box, he starts to saw a hole in the ice.
Suddenly, a loud voice booms out at him, “There’s no fish in here.” The drunk looks all around him but can’t see anyone. He decides to ignore the voice and carries on sawing.
Again, the voice booms out, “I’ve told you once, there’s no fish in here!” He looks up again but there’s still no sign of anyone so he returns to his task.
“Stop it!” shouts the now very angry sounding voice, “You’d better pack up your stuff and get out of here or there’ll be trouble.”
“Who are you?” shouts the drunk guy.
“Look,” replies the voice, “I’m the manager of this Ice Rink!”
