Tech On Me

If you are like me, you would have been busy camping out on Amazon and other sites these last few days to zoom in on Black Friday Sales. Fret not if you missed out, you still have Cyber Monday which is today or at least what remains of it. Too many lightning deals for me to list out, you have to go to the link below and see what tickles your fancy. Remember if in doubt, Fastest fingers first! just add the lightning deal to your cart first then ponder it later. You would have 15 minutes to decide if you want to confirm your order. Also, specifically if you are a Lego fan, you would like the following offer of at least 20% off selected sets listed at the link below. The top 2 picks for me are the Star Wars Imperial Shuttle (10212) and the Imperial Super Star Destroyer (10221). Up to 20% off Select Lego Or if Lego is not your style, try browsing through the Holiday Toy List for the kids or for the Kid in you :) Those looking for bargains in electronics can check out the...

Tired of paying exorbitantly marked up prices to your local Video stores for blu-ray movies?? So was I, and I've long since stopped patronising the local stores in favour of on-line purchases. As mentioned before in my earlier posts, Amazon is a good place to start. Some of the reasons why you should do so? For Blu-ray Region A discs that are sold on  Amazon  (although some are region-free aka playable anywhere in the world), The region is the same as that in North, Central and South American and Southeast Asian countries plus Taiwan, Japan, Hong Kong, Macau and Korea. If you reside in these countries, the discs are compatible with your blu-ray player. Very competitive prices where you can get more than 50% off Recommended retail prices in your country especially during sales like now. Shipping rates are quite reasonable. For example, take shipping to Singapore directly from Amazon, the shipping rate starts at  US$8.98 per title and goes down from there.General...

Yup, you got it, Black Friday is coming up this Friday 23 Nov 2012. Time to warm up your mouse and keyboard for fast and furious action to click like you've never clicked before. Some stores have already started their sales early. You can already start checking up on deals on Amazon in the run-up to the day itself. You can bookmark the following link for that: Amazon's Black Friday Deals Just wanted to point out a really excellent deal from Amazon on the Olympus XZ-1 prosumer camera . Even for those who are not living in the US, if you don't mind buying a slightly older model prosumer camera and without a local warranty, This is going for only US$199. (about S$255). That's the price range you would pay for a basic camera and this is anything but a basic camera. For Singaporeans, even if you count in the shipping (via VPOST or Borderlinx or Hopshopgo), it should still be less than S$300 and it's retailing for S$500 here... For Star Wars fans who have not snapp...

CMOY ( abbreviation for "Chu Moy", so named after its creator) amplifiers have been around for more than a decade. In 1998, Chu Moy built a portable headphone amplifier and shared his design on the internet via the headwize.com website and generated lots of buzz among DIY audio enthusiasts. The original article can still be found here . Fast forward to 2012, my interest was piqued when I recently came across a review for a modified version of the CMOY amp dubbed the CMOY Bass Boost. I read more reviews which were very positive so I decided to order 3 fully assembled set (I'm not much of a DIY guy when it comes to electronics) from its creator John Seaber from  JDSLabs . 2 sets were for my fellow colleagues. The basic set will cost you US$59.99 minus shipping. Shipping to Singapore only costs US$6.30 (via USPS First Class Airmail).  The shipping was pretty quick and the following package arrived in the mail: Each amplifier was neatly packaged in an anti-static wrapper...

Just a quick note to Kindle fans out there that Amazon is having a sale on Kindle ebooks from as low as US$0.99. Those interested please check the following link :  The Kindle Big Deal is Back!! Do take note that in order to buy books from Amazon if you are from Singapore, your Kindle settings must be United States (see my previous post on how to do that) and you must use a third party "proxy" software to make it seem that you are in the US. I will not be stating how it can be done, I leave that up to you to google. Yes I know, I haven't been so prolific with new posts recently but I've been busy with errands and work (and a weekend trip to Bali). I'll try to post more as soon as I can. Thanks for reading!
