WhatsApp for Android

My friends has been telling me how good whatsapps is, so I decided to try it out. Indeed, it is a good apps and so I guess it is true. However, one thing that irks me is that android users need to pay for its services annually for 1.99USD.

Compared to iPhone users, they only need to pay the fees once to use it forever. It seems a bit contradicting to me and I don't the rationale behind it. Maybe I switch to iPhone next time to use it forever lol.

The only consolation is that 1st year is free for android users. But I guess if the apps can interconnect with your friends on different mobile platforms (iOS, android, blackberry). Small fee for 1.99 USD seems to reasonable for now.

Technology temptation again!

It has been more than 6 months since i brought my Lenovo Y460. Time files so do technology, with new models coming out every few months. And I had a evil thought of changing my laptop and my desktop. Y460 is good mid range laptop, but i am aiming for a gaming laptop (looking at Asus G53 etc) for the next upgrade if possible coz it is over 2k in SGD. Maybe i should sell my current Y460 first (any takers from Singapore?) lol.

As for desktop, the new Sandy bridge platform has just been released recently. My desktop has been with me for 2yrs and counting. It is still working fine though. Temptation sure needs lotsa money haha. But i am starting to like small packages things more now, so mATX is more suitable for me now.

Well, maybe i should know how to control my desire better otherwise will get nagging from my missus and burn a hole in my pocket haha. Most probably i had to choose one. For the price of a gaming laptop, i can get a pretty high spec gaming desktop. Or i get a gaming laptop and a mATX desktop with everything integrated haha.

But If i ever get a gaming laptop, it will double as my desktop too. Since i don't see a point of having both at the same time and burn a big hole in my pocket. Just my own thinking though.
