The Switch.

Jan 3, 2014

For some reason, it always dawned on me that Apple would become a monopolistic leader of the smartphonemarket, and would always keep me roped in as I had fallen for the iTunes and App Store honeytrap.

But poor developments for the iPhone 5 and 5s/c made me seriously reconsider, and eventually gave a chance to another villain to lure me in: Google.

And boy, does it feel good!

That new Nexus 5 is refreshing. It works really well, does the job I need and want it to do (albeit slightly differently), and all of that for less than half the price I would have accepted for an iPhone!

After 2 weeks of goofing around, I would now freely suggest you give the Nexus 5 a shot, and make sure to leave all of your clutter behind!

How did I proceed? More on that, tomorrow!

Rezentesten Informatiounen no, handelt et sech beim Gangstarapper Bandana guer net em deen éischte Gangstarapper vu Lëtzebuerg, mee em ee Sondage deen TNS-Ilres zesumme mat der Uni Lëtzebuerg fir d'Police Lëtzebuerg gemaach huet! Méi genau handelt et sech em eng nei...

It's been a while again, and before posting a missing rant on representing your organisation, I thought I'd give you an insight into a few ingenious products I came accross and have started using frequently. The series begins with these rather stylish speakers for my...

Hornbach: aggressive behaviour, and hardly any service – 1/5 stars

May 23, 2010

In my recent posts on Batiself, I got into poor customer service of a "home-depot-style" shop. My posts on Cultural Distance touched on the difference between cultures and how they affect perceptions, and my post on Paradigm Shifts tried to highlight a change in...

Batiself, hello?? – 2/5 stars

Feb 21, 2010

In order to simplify my parents' lives, I decided to investigate options for locks to the house that required only 1 key, rather than several different ones. That is when I decided to call several shops I thought would be able to help, one of them being a chain of...

Flying with Luxair, not a good experience – 1/5 stars

Dec 22, 2009

So, I've had the "great pleasure" of kicking my well deserved holidays off with a bad case of the flu, maybe even the famous one. Ever since friday night/saturday morning, I've been very feverish, dizzy, coughing and feeling as "wimpy" as men do that catch a virus. As...

Beefbar Luxembourg, wasabi ice-cream? – 2/5 stars

Oct 18, 2009

As you may have noticed by now, I do enjoy going to the restaurant - a lot! This is not so much because I don't like cooking (I do!), but more to relax and enjoy a fine moment in good company. This is of course not all too well for my financial situation and for my...

Passage Fitness / Fitness First – 2/5 stars

Sep 19, 2009

My experience with Gyms has been what is commonly known as a love/hate relationship! I remember signing up to Fitness First, just as with Ross and Chandler with a gorgeous young lady, only in Tottenham High Road, and then not go to the gym for nearly a year. I then...
