Talk Crap With SimSimi Chatting Robot On iOS – I found a very stupid app on the Apple AppStore today and it’s more stupid than the Stupidness game. This app is called SimSimi which is a chatting robot that talks back anything to you.

The chat with SimSimi is very nonconstructive and pointless. Just write any stupid thing e.g. eat shit, go to tell, go die, dick and more and SimSimi will reply some funny word to you. I feel it’s very funny and you can teach SimSimi your own question and answer too so if someone says something, SimSimi will response back.

Download SIMSIMI for free on the Apple App Store.

Hong Kong Funny Galaxy Nexus Video Ads – Call Me Galaxy Nexus – Was reading one of my favourite tech blog and the blog shared about the Samsung Galaxy Nexus video ad in Hong Kong – Call Me Galaxy Nexus.

The ads features the Indian-Hongkie comedian, Vivek Mahbubani who shows you the features of Galaxy Nexus, at the same time being sarcasm about other phone like iPhone and standard candy bar phone. Very funny, very sarcastic, yet I think it’s creative. Samsung is getting more and more bad boy right now.

By the way, the video however is in Hong Kong’s Cantonese language.

Triumph Of The Nerds – Another Steve Jobs Related Documentary – Found another documentary related on my favorite tech person – Steve Jobs and it’s The Triumph Of The Nerds: The Rise of Accidental Empires. This documentary film is a 3-part TV films that was released in 1996 before Steve Jobs returns to Apple to become the CEO. He was still the CEO of NeXT Computer Inc back then.

“Picasso had a saying. He said, good artists copy, great artists steal. And we have always been shameless about stealing great ideas.” – Steve Jobs in Triumph of the Nerds: The Rise of Accidental Empires.

The film is about the rise of the two tech company – Microsoft and Apple in the mid-90′s. Even if you are not a nerd or geek, this documentary is a good watch in my opinion. Enjoy.

Samsung Ad Uses Actress From Apple iPhone’s Ad – Apple is a great re-inventor and Samsung is a great copycat. Although Samsung is a copycat, yet I very salute them because they dare to copy, they copy the design of iPhone and put it on their Galaxy device, they copy the UI and make their own TouchWiz, they copy the iPad Smart Cover and make the same for Galaxy Tab 10.1 and now they uses the actress from the Apple iPhone’s advertisement and create a similar advertisement for their Galaxy Tab 8.9.

Well, the little girl in the two video advertisements is the same person. The style and the way the advertisement was film is almost identical too! The only thing difference is the Korean narration in the Samsung video.

You try to have fun with me, you try to win against me, you ask me millions of questions, you sit on my lap, you want to stay beside me all the time, strangely, when I stay with you time passes very quickly. This is a precious time.

Check out the video:

Let’s see the Apple iPhone 4S advertisement video first:

Now check out the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE Advertisement:

Shame or brilliant?
