More Macbook users at HKU

I've been using Mac for seven years. There's something interesting about what's going on recently, especially among university students.

Sitting at the HKU library, using a Mac always gets some attention from onlookers. Not so now, I've noticed that more and more HKU students use Macbook. I'm not sure how many of them actually use their Macbook because they appreciate the OS or they simply want to look cool. Anyway, as shown in some recent statistics, the amount of Mac desktops and laptops sold has been rising steadily. I think this has got something to do with Windows Vista, which has been labelled as a lame system. One of my colleagues actually wants to replace Vista with XP. I've tried to help, and I simply found it difficult to use. And he said that his coming laptop will be a Mac.

Fake Apple products



China has been famous (or infamous) for being the "Factory of the World". The foods, garments, machines or electronic gadget that you have bought were probably made in China.

I've just come across a website which amazed me a lot. Take a look at this website from a Shenzhen "Technology company". It is selling an electronic music playing device which looks very similar with Apple's iPod Nano. Here's the link.

Unsurprisingly, the "Technology company" is also selling another electronic device called "A88" which carries the Apple Inc.'s logo and the name "iPhone". If you're not smart enough, you might think this website is an online distributor of Apple's products. Here's the link.

They are also selling a device which is really similar with the previous generation of iPod Nano. Here's the link.
