Spending Time With OS X
Being an avid Windows user since the day I’ve learnt how to use a computer, I’ve recently decided to step out and broaden my mind and experience the various other different operating systems.

The Mechanical Switch: First Time Mechanical Keyboard User
Oh how I love double meanings and puns. Look at how cleverly I have titled this post! “The Mechanical Switchâ€, get it? “Switch†in the sense of the action of switching from a generic rubber dome keyboard into that of a mechanical keyboard and “switch†also means the mechanical switches that are used in the mechanical keyboards!

Microsoft Surface 2 – A Big Ass Table
I used to remember watching a parody years back on the introduction of the microsoft surface. Microsoft surface is something similar to that of your smart phones and touch screen devices. Instead of being a phone or a computer, it is built in the form of the size similar to that of a television. Yup, a touch screen device of that size. It was first introduced to be in the form of a table, serving the purpose of both a table and that of your mini computer of some sort. Now they’re saying that you can put it anywhere on the walls etc. If it is placed on a table, it sure is a huge ass table alright.
