Apple, the modern Knights Templar

I’ve been playing Assassin’s Creed II a lot lately, and simply put – it’s a great game. It has the Knights Templar in it as the main enemy and architects of conspiracies and coincidentally I had to spend some time in an actual Templar related organisation (at least they call themselves Templars, although the order [...]

HP asks $298 for two keys

The Consumerist is a site I’ve been following for a very long time. Being a person working in marketing, I think it’s very important to see the everyday mistakes companies make, how they affect consumers and eventually how the shit will hit the fan and everything will be FUBAR. Good customer service is the only [...]

Pirates & Helicopters

Went apple hunting today after work and whilst driving back with a trunk full of fresh apples, we started talking of work. Now, people have a lot of benefits from their work – the better workers are the better their benefits are. It got me thinking of how good an employee would have to be [...]

Bad Apple

Only a couple of points to mention quickly (I’ve been pretty slack about writing for the last couple of weeks but I have my reasons) The first point is for those of you who haven’t come across him before, you should religiously follow the writings of a certain Dr. Ben Goldacre (self-described serious fuck-off academic [...]

Greener Apple

Now this is old news already, but in a recent research of laptop manufacturers, Apple was found to be (one of) the least environmental out there. Can’t remember the figures, but if I recall correctly (in my warped Apple-fied mind) the differences were not so huge. Anyhoo, the smelly hippies of Greenpeace are at it [...]

Parade of Cheese

Well, today held a most interesting meeting. Let’s hope that will come into fruition, since it seems to be the most interesting talk so far about my future. I should have some concrete information on my decision by wednesday next week, but I have a simmering feeling in my gut that I will find out [...]
