Philips - Sense and Simplicity

Wednesday, September 22nd, 2004

Did see the new Philips campaigns last week, promoting their new slogan ‘Sense and Simplicity‘. While they are correct in that most electronics might be too hard to operate for the average guy, they feature the HDRW-720 in the campaing.

This is absolutely nuts, as I own one, and it must be the single most complex piece of electronics I ever bought. “When in recording mode, press and hold the red button to delete the scene. Just quickly press it to save”. WTF ?! If you hold the red button too long, it deletes instead of saves. Who ever came up with this interface ?

I absolutely love the HDRW, but simplicity ?! No way! I still recommend it to everybody, but it has a steep learning curve.

More info about the HDRW 720 here.

God, how do I hate this…

Fond memories of the Star Wars trilogy, and suddenly Greedo shoots first.

Steven Spielberg messed with E.T., and now Lucas is doing it again.

Glad I have some ‘less legal’ copies of some original episodes.

First entry, second try

Ramble Ramble. Welcome to my blog.

It’s 6.40am, just spent 2 hours updating our gameservers in a nice, synchronized order so our players won’t notice, and just felt like publishing a blog, as the whole world seems to do.

Expect a random collection of thoughts, sites, bookmarks etc. (kinda like everybody), but this time they are mine!

Have fun!

[ afternote: Also just detected that blogspot doesn’t like sea-surfing, as I had to rewrite this, because I had 2 windows open, saving my profile and publishing this post at the same time. Post was lost.That is so 2000… ]
