On galaxy s

I wasn't able to get that iphone4 crap at the stores. So i decided to go for this iphone4 clone. Its the samsung i9000 galaxy s. Its way better, and much bigger than apple's iphone. The super amoled screen says it all. I loved the android operating system on this unit. It felt like an intel pentium. Fast, Responsive and very sensitive. I wish they could come up with a protective casing on the screen.

2011

Happy new wave year to all. Here's a scottish terrier lurking in our complex. Today, we're the dogwatch. The owner is giving it away for free. Nonetheless, this dog is cute, nano-like, meat lover and very sociable. I'm lovin' it. More images after my stupendous comment.
By the way, he's name is "RAINBOW" lol.

Dual Video/Camcorder Fever

Caught up in the crazy world of digital cameras and camcorders. I was able to bought one today. Its a Toshiba Camileo s20. It costs me about R1,699.
My reasons for buying this:
1. Full HD recording
2. Ultra slim design/lightweight (appearance - unique)
3. Price (inexpensive - fits my budget)
4. Storage (using SD card 8GB)
5. Dual usage (Photo and Video)
6. Out of curiosity.

In camera mode, the picture can be adjusted from 5MP to 16Megapixels. Now, that's a bonus. It also comes with a photo/video LED lighting, image stabilization and 4x optical zoom. I guess, this thing will do for now.

Ratings: 3/5*

Duran Duran in South africa

The wild boys (a.k.a. Duran Duran) will be performing live at carnival city, in Johannesburg. On december 8. I think Spandau Ballet and Alpha-ville had performed on that same venue previously. I missed both concerts, and again this one, perhaps. Its a case of bad timing and low budget. Duran Duran is simply, one of the best new wave bands that ever existed. A part of the new romantic movement (synth-driven pop music) that is coy and infectious.
The dvd "Live in London" is a living testament, of how great they are on stage. I've bought the deluxe edition - comes with an audio cd and a 3D eyewear. Overall, the film is funky and stylish - with the original line up, bringing a superb performance.
Their song "Save a Prayer" is a personal favourite of mine. Other tracks that I liked from them are:
Rio
A View to a kill (from James bond movie)
New moon on monday
union of the snake
the reflex (who could forget the stifmeister and belvedere dance-off in American Wedding movie)
Ordinary world
girls on film
planet earth
wild boys
pls, pls. Tell me now (is there something i should know?)
come undone

welcome to the beautiful south, Duran Duran - good luck and best wishes on your tour.
