Mayur's Posterous http://agentm.posterous.com Most recent posts at Mayur's Posterous posterous.com Sun, 21 Aug 2011 13:11:00 -0700 This is probably the most fanboy-ish thing I've ever done. http://agentm.posterous.com/this-is-probably-the-most-fanboy-ish-thing-iv http://agentm.posterous.com/this-is-probably-the-most-fanboy-ish-thing-iv

I love tech and I obsess over every gadget based on its merit but I never get into the whole fanboy craziness.

Q. So why did I put Android wallpapers on the iPads at my friendly neighbourhood electronics store?

A. Because I can.

Ah, Sweden. The land of Akvavit, crayfish parties and billboards that respond to your iPhone.

You heard that right. McDonald's, not exactly a hotbed of Swedish cuisine but a popular place to eat nonetheless, has installed an interactive billboard in Stockholm. Enter a special URL, and you can play pong on the billboard with your iPhone. If you can survive for 30 seconds in the game, you get a digital coupon for some treats at Mickey D's.

 

What's brilliant is that you don't need to download an app to play the game - just enter picknplay.se into a browser, and a web app checks your location to verify that you're near the billboard. You knew there was a good reason to keep Location Services turned on all the time...

Another game on the same billboard has you snap a photo of a McTreat with a phone (not necessarily an iPhone) to get a free goodie at a local McDonald's.

Why can't they make an ad based on the merit of their product?

LOL! If you have't played this game, you're missing out! Available on both Apple's App Store and the Android Market.

They finally made a proper wristband for the new nanos. If you're looking for an Android flavored gadget, I posted a video on the Sony Ericsson LiveView sometime back.

Tue, 27 Jul 2010 10:46:55 -0700 The last time my family bought a computer was in 1999. http://agentm.posterous.com/the-last-time-my-family-bought-a-computer-was http://agentm.posterous.com/the-last-time-my-family-bought-a-computer-was FF>> 11 years and I'm thinking of getting a 21.5" iMac for the home and turning my current PC into a dedicated Linux machine. The new iMac refresh announced today doesn't have anything that I really want. I could do without the new i3 or i5 processors and the dedicated graphics bump. A USB 3.0 or a Blu ray writer could have coaxed me into getting the new one.

I'll wait for the price drop on the older iMacs as retailers try to push out stock. Prices as of 17-Jul-2010 Sharaf DG has already slashed 400 bucks from its basic iMac model :)
