I have the original version of the Apple iPhone 8GB and as badass of a phone that it is, there are several things that I hate about it. Mainly because of the hype of anything that comes out from Apple, the company can come out with a vastly inferior product (sorry Jamie’s husband, Duncan) than everyone else and yet still be the number one seller and the first name people identify when they see a similar product. Confused? Look at the iPod. Yeah, it’s a pretty cool MP3 player, but there are a ton of other ones out there that are better. But whenever people see an MP3 player, the first name that comes to mind is iPod. Now back to the iPhone. The HTC Touch, LG Dare, Nokia S60, Samsung SGHi900, and so on are really dope phones with more functions than the iPhone, but when people see a touch screen phone, the first question asked is “is that an iPhone?” Gotta give props to Apple for becoming the Kleenex and Coke of phones.

The recent “slant eye” picture taken by the Spanish Men’s Basketball Olympic Team (followed by a similar picture with the Spanish Women’s Tennis Olympic Team and the Argentinean Women’s Football Team) has gotten me really thinking this past week. We Asians are way too quiet. I can’t speak for the entire Asian or Chinese population, but I know what I think and that counts for at least one vote. Growing up, my parents have always been low key. If something bad happens, they don’t want to make a big fuss and bring more attention to us. I was always told to be quiet and not speak up if I wasn’t happy about something. And most importantly, don’t do anything to embarrass the family. I think that’s one of the reasons why I’m really shy and not very outgoing. I’ve heard the same thing from a lot of my Asian friends regarding this as well. Read the rest of this entry »
