The Fast Food Paradox

Hi there,

Nothing is perfect in this world. We all agree on that. Even nature has its flaws, what more to say on man made objects or the system we create. Take for example, the fast food restaurant system here in France. I hate the system here. Including that at MCD. Here, we still have to wait to get the food. And this doesn't happen once or twice. It happens almost every time i eat here. Sometimes, we had to wait for 15 mins. Yep. That's at a fast food restaurant.. wonder how long do we need to wait at those normal restaurant..

So today, our french lecturer asked us what do find weird here in France. So one of the guys said about the poor fast food system. And she replied, that's because eating quickly is barbaric. haha. Bloody good answer right mate? Might as well don't create fast food restaurant then. So yeap, yet another imperfection.

So all this bring me to the new iphone4 white that i just bought about 2 days ago. I'm a big fan of Apple product. Really i am. But i won't be biased to the point that i'l just forget about the weaknesses in their product.

The phone itself is great. It's quite fast, simple design (minimal design actually which i love) and it is easy to use. In the box, you'l get the iPhone 4, the cable to connect it to the computer, an earphone with remote control and the wall plug to charge your iPhone. Let's start with the earphone. Apple is well known to be active in the music industry. Creating iTunes, iTunes store, the iPod and such. But one thing that i think they really need to improve on is their earphones. They're horrible. The sound is so plain and the bass is just suck. It feels like listening to a really cheap earphone. And no, the remote control doesn't impress me. I want something that serve its purpose. And for the earphones, the quality of the sound should at least be a little better.

Let's move on to the camera now shall we. The iPhone 4 has a 5.0 mp camera. I have a Canon EOS 1100D DSLR camera. So evidently, i prefer taking pictures with the DSLR. But sometimes, you just need to take a quick snap and no, you don't carry your bulky DSLR everywhere. So in this case, a camera phone really comes in handy. The iPhone 4's camera quality is not very satisfying to me. It produces too much noise sometimes. A clear foreground with a noisy background is not really a nice picture. But oh well, it's not that bad either. Perhaps the DSLR sets the bar too high for the iphone. And plus, i really think that the iPhone need a camera button at the side. It's a lot easier to take a picture with the shutter button on the side than on the screen.

The iPhone 4 is ok in general. These are just some small problems i guess. But i'l post some more if i found some new imperfections in it ok. ;)

Bye now, and good luck to you dearie for your exams. :) ;) Love you! :)
