Mac Fan

Nice job on getting in such a great magazine article! Must be a nice 'pick me up' after yesterday's article fiasco.

Danny is getting on media after media, it's hard to keep up~ Maybe Danny will get so popular that he can't keep up with buying all the media stuffs that features him one day ^^; Keep it up!

The best and most successful successful otaku ever... I aspired to be like you one day, Danny... ^^

Keep rockin'!

lol the last time i touched a mac was more than five years ago. didnt like it coz i couldnt figure out which button was close and minimize XD maybe i should give them another chance

I would love to buy magazines... if only I have the extra moolah -_-

Nice for you to make it into such a mag Danny! Personally, I don't buy computer mags, but just check some sites daily to keep up with the news.

BTW really wondered who that is on your mouse pad ^^

Whoa Danny i did not know The Straits Times published such a poo-crap article about you. I did not read the article but i hope that does not deter you from coming to Singapore again. As a Singaporean myself i am quite ashamed of my own country's main newspaper. Anyway we cannot always believe what is published in the newspaper anyway, there is more to the newpaper's content then just pure "raw" news, if you know what i mean. Anyway i am sorry it caused you some unneccessary brow frowning, and come back to Singapore soon. We will always welcome you :)

Congratulations! Looks like an awesome article!
I used to buy PC (and related) magazines, but not recently as they get more expensive =(

danny, i'm sorry about the straits times incident. hope this doesn't leave u with a bad impression of Singapore. well there's always the good food to remember. ^^;

congrats on being featured on the magazine.

nice job danny ! you deserve it

have a nice weekend

Haaa, I been reflecting a lot on life lately too about the time my Grandpa past away last month. Got into a big depression about death and getting older (27), while I haven't done anything with myself or really socialized. I think a lot of this also stemmed from a few months of unemployment.

Still kinda mopey, but I have a lot of things I am working on and some goals that I have set and am pushing myself hard for. This would be things like going to an anime club to make friends and socialize, as well as my decision to take a new whack at college and make something of myself. My end goal is to get a bachelors in linguistics with japanese and english, hoping that will make me a perfect shoe in for Jet and English Teaching. Hopefully I will also pick up other skills along the way in case teaching sucks =p. (but i like the idea of it, at least for high school/Uni. Gives me some baseball teams to cheer for =D )

But yea, I to had been anti mac for a long time, mostly because of video game support =(
But it seems it's not much of a problem anymore with most pc games ported onto consoles, which I kind of like more, since I don't have to worry about upgrading hardware to play it! Also I think theres a number of mmo's that have mac support too ( well not like I care, I quit MMO's as those were part of the problems holding me back from life). At least WoW can be played on Mac.

My only issue with Mac's now, is that they are freaking expensive, and it's hard to buy expensive things on unemployment. I am the ultra budget shopper guy.

And onto the issues of magazines. I love magazines. Always great reading material for things like lobbies as you mentioned, and most importantly the "Man's throne room"

Nice article. I wish I knew how to read enough Japanese to understand the content. .. I'm getting there. hehe.

I have a subscription to a technology magazine, WIRED. While the contents are mostly online, magazines are handy at other times: eating, on transportation, internet died.

I'm just wondering how much are these kinds of magazines in Japan? Since I'm in Canada, my subscription was marked-up 4x ($10 vs $40) compared to the price for American subscribers.

Oh wow another magazine feature. How many features on magazine do you have to date?

Too bad the interview by Strait Times didn't go well for you. I never read them because their reporting are not accurate anyway. I always prefer to read multiple online news sources so I can get a better overview and get my facts right.

Congradulations on another feature Danny!
Will go out and take a look for the magazine tomorrow to get a good read... maybe it'll drag me into trying a mac one day... :P

Looks like a great article on yourself, when my Japanese is more advanced i'll certainly come back and read it :D

I used to buy PC mags many years ago but stopped. Since i got my Mac i haven't got a single mag relating to it, but after reading this article i think it may be worth going out and seeing whats on offer.

That looks like a cool review. Wish I could read it... one day.... one day....

Sucks that the newspaper was mean..... bath-stuards....

Yup. I hate the papers as well. Press freedom is way, way, low.

But anyways, back to the topic at hand. I'm thinking about switching to a Mac in about a year or so. Can anyone advise me? Is this a wise decision?

time to take a trip down to the local bookstore and browse. ^^

Nice censoring of your oppai mousepad Danny ^^;

Sorry to hear what the Singapore ST did to u... now I will never think of working at Singapore media ever again... :P

Just don't hate Singapore for what the paper wrote about you. Cheers :D

Although I have a mac myself, I haven't actually used it in my line of work. Although CF is used on both Windows and Linux, its more Linux focused from the projects I have seen so far. Also a lot of tools I use in Windows aren't available for Mac, or I haven't found them yet, so for the time being my mac remains my music and web browsing machine at work.

Very awesome how you got featured in Mac Fan magazine, what else is coming up?

Bah, newspapers nowadays rarely has 'news' in it anymore - regardless of country

i'm not a fan or user Mac systems yet, but slowly warming up to it.
But one word: VMWare

Danny is getting famous every day! ^_^
I loved the oppai covers, nyahaha!

Since i'm a comsci student and dig tech stuff so ever so often i tend to pick up tech mags.
Although here in the philippines. Local computer magazines that reviews tech stuff are rare.
Currently reading Hardware Mag (local PCMag).
But for mac related items.. None except the net X_X

So Danny, Mirai Gaia is like a booster to a website to gain huge and valid traffic if i'm not mistaken. (But i have a hunch that i don't quite get it right)
Talk about awesome workz you did on Mirai Gaia XD
You're insipiring me more to pursue the net and visual arts world with your achievements.

Congrats! ^_^ As for PC/Mac mags... occasionally, but not really regularly.

Whoa- a four page article? That's something to brag about- congrats^^
As for the Straits Times article, here's some consolation: most people here (both sides of the straits) have learned not to take our newspapers seriously. Especially when they're govt linked=.=

Maybe I'll get a Mac when i start to work.
I heard that people can't play games on Mac.. True?
And also, I thought it'd be troublesome to look for Mac version of applications..
This is probably why I'm still a Windows user. Correct me if I'm wrong. Lead me to the path of Mac LOL.

Sad to hear about the Straits Times incident... hope that doesn't deter you from coming back to this part of the world! ^^

As for PC mags, PC hardware mags are what I usually pick up, just to keep myself updated with this fast moving PC hardware world.

I've read the article on the Straits times (it was on the Urban section) and i certainly felt that they were putting their own words and feelings in danny's mouth.

This is an example of what happens when they get a writer who hasn't done his homework to write an article, as well as an Editor who is clumsy/ inexperienced enough to overlook the fact that private details were published.

Though im neither an advocate nor hater of the Singaporean news industry, this was definitely a slip up and i hope the DC community can understand that and not generalize about the Singaporean media industry. I also hope Danny doesnt end up hating Singapore and decides never to come back here again D:

Nice work Danny! All of your efforts are paying off now. Once again you have inspired me to work harder and go on with my studies!

"Moeru-ze!!!" Goes off to resuming work on his thesis....

ダニーさんMacファン掲載おめでとうございます！
このMacファンは買います（笑）

Hope u don't associate all other Singaporeans with that newspaper.

Am using a Mac at work n home. I actually bought a Mac Dummies Guide when I got my MacBook, but I hardly touched the book, not becos I know everything but cos I'm too lazy! lol

In Poland Macs are way overpriced compared to USA or Japan, so the best way to get them cheaper is to import them and even then they are a "bit" too expensive. Only two of my friends owns Macs and only cause they are either rich or sell computer hardware. Personally I'm perfectly fine with Windows, the only thing that bugs me are those annoying viruses...

Looks like Our Straits Time have once again done something bad...

Hope you're memory of your stay here will not be tarnished by that article...

About Mac, I think I'll be switching to one after I finish my NS, 2 years later... since I kind of have nothing that I can't do on a Mac... that i can on a Window... and a Linux is still rather complicated.

Wow, interesting article and great work being put into the Mac Magazine ^_^. Hope your popularity grows from this!

Congrats for your feature in Mac Fan. Its great to hear news like this, I'll definitely have to pick up a copy!

congratulations danny, I too am just starting to realize that learning Japanese is opening more opportunities, but living such a dull life in the past, you wont realize such a thing so quickly. Which I didn't :)D
I'm finally finding passion and joy through the things I've indulged myself into. It's all thanks to someone who shows us a concrete example. Danny choo

It's great that you got into a popular magazine and all but it must suck that they essentially wrote lies about you.

Omedetou Danny-san! ^^ well u really do look like a Mac Fan with ur working room setup, lol.

Wow! Another achievement ^^

Glad to know you'd been featured in the popular Mac Fan magazine that you'd always wanted ^_^ You're really a Mac fan with so many Apple machines in your surrounding~~~~~

I'd read about that article in the Straits Times (thanks to the person who sent it over to me at 2AM yesterday). Seriously the way they wrote it was very unprofessional, it make the whole article became negative, & worst of all the info on the first sentence was already incorrect!!! I wonder WTF is the editor doing, which allow that satirical article to be publish!!!

@Danny: Wow! I had never imagine your company flagship product "Mirai Gaia" platform would have cost at USD50,000 (although I'd roughly read through your japanese Mirai Gaia page).
I'd considered to contact you in regard of Mirai Gaia after when my associates had finalize which platform provider to upgrade our E-commerce site, but with our current capital we have to pull back from considering Mirai Gaia orz.........

Congrats Danny! I just arrived in Tokyo and bought myself a MacBook Pro. Best purchase I ever made. I can't afford to eat now, but at least I have the internet ^^ I'll have to look out for that magazine in the shops... not that I can read Japanese yet, but I'm learning!

What an amazing article! Congratulations for being published in such a popular magazine. You never cease to amaze, Danny.

I used to hate Macs at one point as well. I had a hand-me-down from a relative and it broke 2 weeks right after I started using it. It was very depressing to start up your computer only to see the sad Apple computer face on the screen.

I vowed myself never to touch a Mac again until I went to college and realized that I was required to learn the way of Macs once I started getting into my majors. Luckily, once I got out of junior college 2 years ago, I was treated to a 1st gen MacBook Pro. Still a happy user, too! It's okay, though. I love Macs and PCs equally, so it's all good! I use PCs for gaming needs, and Macs for the rest.

As for magazines, I really ought to subscribe to some computer magazines. I've been meaning to, but lately, all I've been subscribing to are video gaming magazines ^^;

*mental note: Get mac book on December trip to HK. Must re-orient myself with Mac OS and diversify computing skills.

Great job Danny, you have work hard and never seem to slow down. You motivate me and i'm sure that i'm not the only one. Keep up the great work!

I didn't even know Mac Magazines existed.

they sure did a nice closeup of you there

now onto that fiasco over the strait times magazine, i will just like to point out that article, if it was an article to begin with appeared on The Urban, one of those supplement reads the strait times throw in for ppl on the move. The Urban is a weekly add-on which focuses on fashion and demeanour. That would explain the emphasis on danny having had experience with shoe designing and stuff like that.

Now, having been an avid reader of digital life, another one of those supplementary reads, I can tell you that they are to be taken with a pitch of salt. News are generally outdated, biased towards domestic issues. Unfortunately, this is just another example of the things our dear newspaper gets away with since it is effectively the only mainstream english newspaper. And trust me, the rest are the real junk. (yes i am looking at you The New Paper!).

As a fellow Mac fanboy I salute you, Danny!

As for a certain Singapore news outlet, boooo!

A pity...our writers are rather...childish...A rather nice coverage on Mac life...

Wow, it just keeps getting better and better for you, huh?

Great stuff, brutha.
Looks like I'll have to get this issue.

Don't read computer magazines often, but if I'm sitting around in a waiting room somewhere and there's one around I'll pick it up and give it a read. Technology is almost too fast to keep up with these days

Soo cool Danny!!!After CNN & G4 Appearance ur becoming more & more popular by the Seconds!!Very impressive!!! Two thumbs WAY UP!!!

OMEDETO!
Awesome magazine spread! You deserve it!
:D

Good job on being featured in the magazine. Expensive price tag for the Mirai Gaia platform but search result high ranking makes up for it ^^. What an awesome platform.

I don't have a MacBook yet since it's pricey but I do own an iPhone and a 80gb iPod ^^.

I personally still don't know how to use a Mac even though that was the only type of OS available for use at my school.

Congratulations Danny, good job and a great reference for your business. I am happy everything worked out well for you ^^; Back to the poll question, I really like computer magazines especially those that are mac related. I read british Mac Format, and subscribed to Mac Tech Magazine. I see many here do not buy magazines but I don't like to read stuff off the computer monitor. I like when I can feel the good ol' paper print. Off topic, it would be great if you had enabled html tags.

Danny Choo is slowly becoming the next big thing in the media, he already appeared in CNN and now this. You have achievement many things Danny, I'm not sure how you've done it, but I want to follow that path too.

Very nice looking interview with the Macfan magazine! Very embarrassed for the straits times reporter even tho I dunno who they were ^^; I think it is so nice that you discovered a passion for japan which leads you to where you are now :) I think I somewhat found a passion for dolls which is finding me some new friends after I migrated here :D But of course I gotta find a balance between my love for dolls and drawings ^^;/ Thank you for recognising what I can do Danny :) I guess perhaps my drawing found you lol!

Sounds awesome, Danny - lots of nice pictures in that Mac Fan article. ^^; I'd read it on my own, but I get the feeling they're not using elementary-level kanji and I'd have to devote quite some time to the endeavour. :P As for Strait Times...libel and twisting your words around is one thing, but to bring your personal life into it...that's going beyond unprofessionalism.

Anyway, media coverage of you seems to be growing so quickly! One thing leads to another and snowballs, I suppose. :) Thinking about it, you're basically an ideal subject for the MacFan article. A creative person with unique interests who used to swear by Windows but now has Macs all over the house, coupled with a success story and eyecatching visuals - stormtrooper armour + figures? If that doesn't get your notice nothing will. ^^;

...Wish I'd thought of this BEFORE I guessed wrong and got disqualified in the Soniko giveaway though. XD

You worked as part of the staff in a Japanese restaurant Danny? How does one get into said restaurant (I'm assuming that most japanese restaurants don't hire non-japanese).

I play around with Macs, but I still love my Windows computers ^^I I'm probably one of the few people that kinda like Windows Vista ^^I

Father used to get the PC mags. I never really read them.

I happen to buy mags like, Photoshop Advance, ImagineFX etc. Used to get gaming mags but I grew
tired of them.

Congrats to Danny on another success.

Great article at Mac Fan!
Sad to hear about the Straits Time... unfortunately, there are still too many tabloids and crappy newspaper that uses prejudice and misinformation to sell it.
Even sadder is that there are lots of people who support that kind of stuff.

But screw that, they don't deserve our attention, let's get to the techies... XD

I'd want to switch to a Mac, but there are too many things I still need the PC for... well, it's like 50% gaming, but still.
But I'm not a Mac hater or anything (I don't like Apple Fanboys though, in the worst definition I mean), and I'd really love several of the resources a Mac has...

About magazines, I answered wrong-ly... I thought Danny was asking about Mac magazines only.
I'm buying less PC magazines these days, but years ago I bought 5+ of them EVERY MONTH.

Since I collected several of them, I have piles and piles of magazines back at home.

Nowadays it's more like... I take a look at the cover, and if it has something that I want to read about, I buy it. So it's 3- every month.

My switch from PC to Mac was the best choice of my life! Can't believe i didn't try this like 4 years earlier.

macs cost here like 3 months of my salary - if i dont spend any of it, not counting os or other programs or mac support. 3 months of my salary = 2 brand new faster better comps than the mac.
so naturally the mac is not on my to get list.

congrats on the article. think i should get it and read it after about 3-4 years by which i should know a little kanji.

Congrats on the Mac Fan article! Though you've certainly haven't hid you Mac addiction and the fact that you run your business almost entirely via Macs, how common are Macs in Japan? Has the whole iPod/iPhone halo thing brought much attention to Macs there as it has done in the U.S.?

Beautiful photo on the cover page, quite breathtaking!

Congrats Danny! You are the #1 Otaku Mac Fan :-)
I think Apple should put you in their commercials… I will talk with my friend at OMD Worldwide.

I must get this magazine somehow...
So cool!!!!!
Do I see your TV with a MAC interface...

I read all about computers on the internet.

Congrats on getting a great article that reflects you way better than the other crud...I'd like to read it if it ever gets translated, but thanks for a quick summary of it...I haven't read a computer mag in a while...usually my friend updates me on new tech stuff...

Must be very gratifying to see yourself in one of your favorite publications. I hope you allow yourself to fully relish in the moment, and realize you're now worlds apart from your lonely days with Buck Rogers. Always concentrate on the good, and leave the bad behind.

Now... if I could only read this Mac Fan article. Well, I can read the english parts ^^;

This is great to see you in Mac Fan featuring both dannychoo.com and Mirai Inc. I have struggled through the magazine in the past and it is one of the things that always pushes me to improve my Nihongo. Nice to hear that you where portrayed in a non-bais way after that seedy piece of journalism in The Straits Times.

Anyway, I do buy computer magazines often. I like to read articles like this one and it often helps in gaining enough information to expand on learning something new.

It is good to hear what you are doing with Miriai Inc. These are the type of activities I want to be involved in when I finish with this second degree. I just spend so little time exploring and learning what you are doing. My computer minor has taken me more into day to day business processes. Might be fine for a business professional but not what I want. I still feel some of these classes will give me something. It has become a struggle to keep them from stealing all the time I was to learn SEO and Web Development as well as study my Nihongo.

When you talk about childhood, I find myself reflecting as well. I didn't grow up in a health environment as well. Just don't feel comfortable talking about it in public. I guess in simple terms, life sucked as a young person.

Same here, I would have probably met my wife if I hadn't developed an interested in Japan. I know in the end all this hard work will pay off and I can get to do many of the things I really want to do in life. Right now it feels like everything important is get so little attention...

Lol, why do you have the magazines sitting on the boob?

I'm an anti-mac person, but after reading this... not so much anymore ^^;

I've noticed newspaper writers like to warp the truth... I've actually preferred many magazine articles myself over the so-called "Press"

Did you sue the Singaporean paper? I'm not sure of the laws there, but that sounds a lot like Slander to me. You could sue as well as file criminal charges and get everyone canned, plus all their money.

I don't buy computer magazines. The thing is that it's supposed to give me information and either they talk about stuff that's completely irrelavent to me or they write about interesting stuff but then I know more about it than the article says. Either way it's a waste of money and time. I guess it tells something about the quality of the local computer magazines.

The story about The Straits Times sounds like when I ended up in the school newspaper. I was interviewed and took it seriously. Once it was printed I saw that I was quoted with a whole lot of stuff but I didn't say any of it. I was quoted for using baby language and basically acting like a weird freak (doing stuff that would be acceptable at age 2-4). I complained to the school and without investigating or even talk to the guy who wrote it, they dismissed my complain stating that I had to have said that, otherwise it wouldn't have been printed. By random I heard somebody asking the writer if I really said what I was quoted to say and he said that I had said something else, but it made the article boring so he decided to change it into something funnier.
Like Danny, such an article made people end up in the list of haters (which you can read about here: http://www.dannychoo.com/adp/eng/1615/Toyosu+Photo+Walk.html )

sorry to hear about the steaming pile of baboon diarrhea. do hope you are not demoralized by it. some reporters would do anything, even fabricate stuff just to sell a story.
about the poll question, I do have a subscription to a tech magazine. although I've never picked up a PC or MAc magazine before. ^^;

Great that you got featured in a Mac magazine! Congrats!

I've switched to Mac since 6 months now and I still love it. (although at work I still use Windows though because we do app development for windows(

I haven't heard of MacFan.... good for you though! I use to buy magazines but find them very repetitive no matter what the subject or area is. Prefer online reviews w/vids much better.

great article dude!

Woo congrats Danny!! Way to go! ^_____^ I'd totally buy an issue if I used a mac xD

Congrats Danny on being featured in Mac Fan!

In terms of PC mags, I still buy a copy of EDGE magazine occasionally but that's about it.

BTW, have you got your iPhone yet, Danny? Or still waiting for a price drop/better deal??

Congratulations on appearing in the article. Sorry to hear about their lack of truism within it. At least you've gained extra exposure!

Only magazines I've bought are HobbyLink Japan and GQ. I agree that while having the tangible item in hand is greater than reading a digital copy. However for news that revolves around computers, the information always gets updated online much faster and (supposedly) more accurately as opposed to it's counterpart. Thus for anything regarding the technology realm, I'd prefer to read online. Nevertheless, if I had the time I would read any magazines relating to it regardless. Call it in the inner geek in me or just wanting to know something.

And going off to a slight tangent, after reading this article and the haters post again I do feel inspired. Thank you. I want to succeed in passing level 2 in the JPLT's. I know I am at level 4 and should aim first for level 3. Afterwards, or maybe simultaneously, I should continue studying Mandarin.

one thing i'm looking forward to is playing the new Diablo 3 on my Mac!

I have used Macs. The last U.S. Open Cup Final I covered; I couldn't write it up on my computer because I had a flight the next day to Denver, CO. The next afternoon in Denver; I wound up in a tavern which had free computers for use. They were all Macs.
I don't read a lot of computer magazines, but I bought one issue of "Computer Shopper" to see how the market had evolved, and to see which vendors and purveyors were still in business.
But I bought another Windows®-based computer because I am more keyboard-oriented. That this computer was inexpensive considering how much money I had allocated for such was a huge plus. When I use a mouse, I am pretty good at right-clicking.

Congratulations on the article, especially the magazine you've been wanting to be in, right? :D I can read a bit of Japanese, but some of those kanji is just such a challenge that I don't even bother reading it. It's good practice I suppose, but I'm a slow reader XD

It's really too bad about that Straits Times article. Around these parts something like that are liable for a lawsuit; Defamation and such. Maybe they think they can get away writing that piece of crap just because you're all the way in Japan? Idjits...

I go to my local library every week on sat and bum around there and read all the tech/game/politics/sci mag but I never seen a Mac mag in my library.

The journalistic standard in Singapore is non-existent. One reason why I hardly ever read local papers. On the bright side, I believe the bad publicity you gave them in your post more than made up for the crappy, pull-it-out-of-ass article they wrote about you.

So wait, did you get the Ryogi Shiki figure before release date? And the article was in print on the release date with the figure? Lol.

Danny, why can't you be on U.S NEWTYPE???

I will go grab some Macfan after brushing up my japanese first, now can only read hiragana and katakana ^^; or are there any english ones, hmm.

Wow, another article! Congratulations!
Sorry to hear about Straits Times' poo-poo article. But I'm sure anyone with half a brain wouldn't believe it anyway. xD

Congratulation Danny! You must be very excited about the whole thing. Mac or PC better? which?

My friend has been telling me that I should blog for ages.....but cannot for the life of me find a topic worth writing about. Any advice?

Been a "silent" member of Danny Choo for almost a year now, really nice to see just how much progress you have made, really motivational stuff.

Cool article Danny always good to be in the news, you know get yourself planted in history. And daaamn you license out Mirai Gaia for that much lol you must be close to becoming a millionaire lol seriously.

Danny, could you please give more info about the stand you use for your MBP ?

thxxx

I think it's time to get your world domination plans in motion lol...

This shall be added to my list of 'reasons why I should not read The Straits Times'. In number 1, in fact. Number 2 will be 'too lazy'. LOL.

Congrats on getting into the Mac Fan magazine! Well done.
Don't read PC mags regularly, very but somethings still read one or two.

I am currently waiting for the new macbook. Glad to say your were part of the reason I wanted a mac.

Congrats on the article Danny~ (/^o^)/~

I'm gonna see if I can pick up a copy at Kinokuniya next time I'm in the city... though I might miss it u_u~ What date did this one come out?

As for your question, I pick up one of 2 magazines depending on the articles about once every 3/4 months, I get all my general info off the internet. Sometimes I'll check the pricelist of the computer store I go to [on the rare occasion I do visit ^^;;] so I can see what's new.

Looks like I am not the only Choo with the same problem, despite having the same surname, I am nowhere near as capable as you. Congratulation that you finally found your paradise :)

heh im still an anti mac as a pc user and ill prolly will be for some time until something more drastic changes.

Pricing aside, the lack of flexibility in Mac hardware is quite a pain. while M$ windows have crappy registry issues, if ur decently tech savvy it shouldnt be a problem. Getting support for it is also a tad bit easier since theres a lot more windows user.

While mac, gawd the last time i used it, sometime around april 2008? at my uncle's place. trying to get msn and play back .mkv/h264 animes was already an epic task. T_T

Hey Danny! If you're still reading comments n this thread: Did you ever write a post on why your switched from PC to Mac? Have you written the pros and cons of each? Would be interested to read such an article, as I'm thinking of going Mac for my next Laptop (last was a Dell which died after 2 years...)

you guys should switch because you think that your needs will be filled with a Mac (or not), not because other people are doing it

and please don't pollute this blog with stupid discussions about Pc/Mac war, it's useless and annoying

go to a forum dedicated to IT for it

Oh Danny, ever so popular. :D
Dang, America is so far back in the technology. I wish we could get 2TB externals, but the largest ones are 1TB and for internals, the largest is still 1.5TB! They're also pretty expensive, about $120 for a 1.5TB internal, and I don't even want to check prices on 1TB externals... I wish I could make a quick trip to Akiba and get a few goodies.
I really should learn Japanese, just because it might be handy in the future when I finally decide to move to Japan, and I also want to read those magazine articles! >_>
As for PC/Mac magazines, I don't really read or buy them. I wasn't really into the whole computer/technology thing, but then again, I'm still young, so it might grow on me eventually. ^_^'

Yes I like glossy mags. When I relax and read one it feels a lot different than it would on the computer screen. I especially miss Newtype. The reviews weren't the greatest but I loved the atmosphere. I still pick up a PC mag everyone once in while. Usually something related to custom rigs. Content wise its not easy to justify though.

Congratulations for being in the magazine, Danny! If I could read in Japanese, I'd probably read those pages by now.

Holy Moley. Is 5,000,000 Yen like SGD 79,000.00 !!!!

So...When are you going to be in Playboy? ;]

Cool article, but that sucks what happened with the newspaper. I would be pissed off too if someone wrote an "interview" with me and all of it was fake stuff they created.

Danny, u probably got bad press in Singapore's main paper, coz ur father's a malaysian...

I don't buy PC mags but I do buy T3, a gadgets magazine w/ very sezzy chicks on the cover. ^^;

I'm sorry to hear about the article that was inaccurate but, I am happy to read on your appearance in Mac Fan, it must be a great honour!
Congratulations, Danny-san! May your success grow m(_ _)m

WOW! oh so WOW!
great article~

Wow that's awesome Danny! You're getting more and more recognized by more people!

And about the Straits Time, I read it and I just thought that Danny was getting more popular and I wasn't actually paying attention to he article^^;
Upon deeper thought, I do feel that the paper was kinda rude but I still want to buy a wallet made by you! lol

I started using a Mac G4 in 2002 and I'd never be without a Mac now. PC's are just so clunky and bloated that I could never go back.

Very sorry to read about what crap SG papers have wrote but well I, myself don't really trust them so much.

Been thinking about changing to MAC system for quite sometimes...

I wonder if to buy the new mac book or pro edition...
Mac look nice and fun!!!!

As I write this on the sixth Mac I have owned over the years (planning for the seventh), I am struck once again by the old adage: "PCs have users; Macs have worshipers".

(^o^)

Your endeavors are so inspiring!

Although my current goals are mostly those that helps stabilize my poor background without much advancement.

After that, then I can go and attempt to pursue my dreams~~ (I would love to visit Japan today and if possible, be able to experience it beyond a tourist point of view)

I love your site! My sons somehow found your web site, and they showed it to me a couple months ago. Now,hahaha, I registered myself as probably the oldest reader on your site. I think whatever you do outside of your profession is not their business, and feel sorry for you and your wife for the fabricated articles..But that also means you are TOO cute and unique...from Otakumama

nice magazine

max propaganda mag lol. weird why they made danny such a weird person.

congrats on the coverage but sry to hear about the less than kind words/comments that were added for good measure. Although most 'celebs' would start going after the mag, demanding sums of money for the embarrassment/loss of earnings etc. but then more people take note of the bad stuff and it turns out all good for'em!

i have to work at japanese restaurant >_<

Wow, I didn't know that Strait Times will write that kind of article (between, I read it).
It's sad to see why publishers will do just to ruin someone's success in hopes to create more stories why rewriting the whole interview. Well, Strait's off from my list of newspaper whenever I go to Singapore. This is not a good way for publishers to promote their articles, not to mention with you Technical Specialty in Consumer Generated Material Search Engine Optimization (omg... I remembered the term =p)

I was just curious about what type of computer people in japan are interested in? do they have any brand loyalty and what they use it for i.e. software design,gaming, multimedia..
Im a PC Guy But after looking at the new Macs like MBPro, I thought that was a sexy laptop just from the way it looks, its all sleek and streamlined compared to my laptop.:]

i want a mac now..

have always wanted a mac.. but i'm broke.. ><

Want to see more Stormtrooper action....

I put mine on ebay. Here is a link to what I'm selling at the moment. New Yuki Nagato Revoltech is here. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300301605737&_trksid=p3907.m32&_trkparms=tab%3DSelling(more)

Just recently got a Mac Mini; 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4Gb 1066MHz DDR3 RAM, 320Gb HDD & NVIDIA GeForce 9400M.

Trying to transfer my iTunes library from my PC to my Mac Mini.

Very nice article, a real Mac lover

I'm goign to start my Mac life soon with the Dell mini

I am very jealous of your Mac collection, but nice work with making it into the magazine.
How many Macs do you have in total in your house?

iMac is on my list. Not sure when I'm going to purchase it..

I like my Mac, too. :D
