Fourteen-point-two megapixels (MP), on this kind of consumer-level camera, is just silly. It slows the camera down and adds nothing to the quality of your pictures. The truth is, you need only 6 MP (and much less if you’re not making big prints), or you need a different camera and lens to...
1 Nuboon Milk Coffee
The drink: 500cc, 20% sugar, 5% coffee, 5% condensed milk. B38
The taste: Nuboon seems proud of its condensed milk taste. No fancy roasts or beans, here. This thing is MILK (coffee)—and there’s half a liter of it. Added bonus: with 20% sugar, this thing is great for...
No, you can’t slip it into an envelope like Apple’s MacBook Air. But if you don’t have B70,000 lying around, the Asus Eee PC can still get the job done in an incredibly compact format and to the tune of a mere B12,900.
The Eee PC is fast becoming the geek community’s...
Electronic goodies have long crossed over from being a sign of thick-rimmed, pants-too-high, Bill-Gates-haircut geekiness to being the way every urbanite communicates, gets their tunes and enjoys their pics. Sure, geeks still have their toys, but the playground is now crowded with fashionistas,...
iPhone, go home. Traditionally, BlackBerries have been for corporate types—so no need for frivilous fun stuff like media players and cameras.
Until now. With the arrival of the Curve 8320, BlackBerry is finally acknowledging that fashion is (sometimes) as important as function.
The 8320 has...
1 Tops Coated Coconut Flavour Peanuts, B17
Its gleaming blue package may incite you to mechanically reach for it on the supermaket shelf, but you’d be making a grave mistake. Burnt deep-fried flour balls with neither a nutty nor hint of coconut flavor (just 3% coconut cream) are what you get...
Now that rainy-season showers are far behind us and (fingers crossed) cool weather has kicked in, it’s time to temporarily leave hamburgers and cheesy fries for the joys of a bowl of warm soup. For those who are too lazy or time-poor to scout around for the homemade kind, these instant soups...
Fake Prada and pirated CDs have been part of Bangkok’s mojo for years, but fake organic food? Toru Tanaka learned firsthand what “organic” in Bangkok means when he opened his restaurant Shan last year. “Many people talk of organic, non-chemical, ‘safe safe safe’...
When the latest version of Photoshop or Microsoft Office comes out, what do you do? Click on their “Update Now” button? Let’s face it, how many Bangkokian geeks would pay 300-something US dollars for genuine software when they can just get the same program for just B100 (or B500...
You don’t need an iPhone. But you might want one. Other phones allow you to do what it does—listen to music, watch video, surf the net, play games, take photos, etc.—but not with the flair and user friendliness that has made Apple the white-hot brand it is today. Just as the iPod...
