HTC Magic from Celcom

I am a big Google user. I use Gmail, Calendar, Task and etc. I needed a new phone, and found out HTC Magic which is running Android fits my requirement.

I bought HTC Magic from Celcom. Since they are the first one to bring Android here officially. Behold people, do not be cheated. HTC Magic from Celcom does NOT include Google Services. Meaning, the phone does not have Gmail, Calendar, Market and Maps. The phone is as good as a brick! If you are not a heavy Google user and just need the phone to SMS, Call or occasionally need to throw it at a dog, then this phone is for you.

It's a nice slim phone, but I can't believe how dumb SIS and Celcom are to bring a phone to Malaysia without Google Services. I should have done more research before buying this phone. I really thought it came with Google Services after reading all the reviews.

So people, please be caution. Do NOT buy HTC Magic from Celcom if you are looking at using Google App with it. You are better off buying it from Lelong or something.

Oh yeah, btw, I am selling it... any takers?

How to Lose Friends and Make Enemies?

Got this in a newsletter.

Over the past few years an epidemic of rudeness has swept America. Here's how to perpetuate the disease.

1) Ignore people. Don't return phone calls. Never answer the phone. Don't listen when people talk to you.
Talk on your cell phone when with others, especially in restaurants or other public places. Don't acknowledge
that others exist. The greatest insult that you can give someone is to ignore the person. If you excel at this skill
you can skip the next four paragraphs.

2) Show disrespect. Make fun of others. Assign stupid nicknames or deliberately mispronounce names. Make
people wait for you. Laugh at other people's mistakes, struggles, and fears. Use sarcasm and cynicism freely.
Treat people like idiots. Disrespect is powerful because it strips people of their dignity.

3) Criticize. Find fault in everything. Spread gossip. Complain about anything and everything. Remind people
about mistakes they made, even if decades ago. If possible, embellish your complaints with exaggerated
descriptions of failure. Keep a written log of faults, flaws, and fumbles so you can grind on them daily. Develop
a whining tone to your voice. Critics reduce everything to dirt.

4) Be negative. Master pessimism. Attack every change or new idea. Always focus on failure. Expect the
worst to happen. Never accept or approve anything. Refuse to participate or cooperate in any endeavor.
If something appears to work despite your efforts, cause delays so you can prepare fresh arguments against it.
Aggressive gloom creates perpetual hopelessness.

5) Get mad. Throw tantrums. Scream. Yell. Shout. Slam doors. Hit walls. Throw things. Act violent. Use
accusations, insults, and threats to disrupt conversations. Tolerate nothing. Insist on retribution. Always attack
first. Blame your anger on others. Unpredictable, insane behavior keeps other people off balance.

Caution: Application of these tactics guarantees that the need for lawyers will increase.
