Trick or Treating: Skittles

WP_20131104_002

Trick or Treat의 여파로 사무실 곳고에 쵸코렛 사탕들이 쌓여 있다… 왠만한건 다 넘어가 주는데…주로 Twix는 꼭 챙겨 드셔주시는데 그중 계속해서 찾게되는건 절대 거역할 수 없는 Skittles인듯…

이게 아마 지옥의 맛일게다 싶다.. 내가 빨리 먹어 없앨수 밖에..-.-; 처음 맛보는 Darkside까지…ㅎㅎ

Nokia Lumia 920 Ad

Funny ad but, at the same time, isn’t this a shooting on the feet? Looks like it is admitting Lumia/Windows phone is not even in a consideration set, have no passionate fans and only used by servants who seem to have “whatever” mentality…

Nobody fights for Lumia or windows phone..is this a sad story this ad was intended to cover? good try but waste of money… I would fire this copy writing agency….:(

T-Mobile LTE!

Has been noticing LTE mark showing up on my new phone about a week or two ago when the bus passes Factoria in Bellevue, and as the spot was very limited, and obviously looks like there are some handover issues between networks – wasn’t able to connect smoothly and do the real test on how LTE works on phone in running buses.

Finally, had a chance to do the quick test at QFC factoria.. it is much faster than HSPA+… and my new phone gets it well so my fingers are crossed for quick expansion/stablization of LTE network

Bye Thinkpad X220, Hello Thinkpad X230

TP X220

With company’s campaign to deploy Windows 8, had to say goodbye to “not-that-old” laptop. My TP X220

Only has been 16 months, but brought good memories of using Thinkpad….(Well this one was not that great though had some issues with TPM chip, part of my fault but display was unstable)

Anyhow, among various options of new devices, I made a bold movement to stay with extension of current one X230 not any touch enabled devices because of CPU & Memory specifications.

X230 is not technically different than X220 similar processor  (upgraded) with all other same form factors while the upgrade is obviously in keyboard. Finally, Thinkpad is moving away from “easily pullable” butons and keyboad has some nice features like light up from keyboard (by Fn+ Space).

 

The challenge for me is adjusting on change of keyboard layouts. By moving the power button to right, the new keyboard gave up 2 lines of keys for Function line keys (forced to single line)

*  pageup/down button moved down to arrow button

* Home End Insert Delete button location has changed -driving me crazy 🙂
