The Path to Endarkenment

 

Tuesday, September 21, 2010

I swear, I’m not being a douche when I say something is “the best”.

If I say something is “the Best”.. I’m not saying it to put other peoples stuff down or make them feel like what I like/got/own/have/use/subscribe to is better than what you have, because that’s not the case.In contrast I will only say something is the best if in fact I’ve done the research to prove it’s actually the best! See, some people think I’m so opinionated that what I say goes and no one elses opinions matter. This couldn’t be farther from the truth however I do like a good debate.

When it comes to things I buy like gadgets especially, when getting my geek on is important I’ll go to expert sites and institutions.  I’ll go with many geek sites like Engadget, Gizmodo and CNET

Here are some examples:

I have a Kodak Zi8. It’s a portable HD camcorder. Some sites claimed it to be third (or second rather to the brother and sister duo of FliP video devices) but in the CNET Prizefight, it won in a tight race as the best of the class.

I have an HTC EVO4G mobile phone. Laptop Magazine called it the number 2 of the 25 most innovative product of 2010 short of the iPad. Yet it was the top phone in that list. CNET voted it best cellphone of 2010 at the cellular show in Las Vegas. CNET also rated it Prizefight Winner over iPhone 4.  This upsets iPhone 4 users, partly because they have this thought that everything Apple is the best of all. Put the Kool Aid down. Even Consumer Reports won’t recommend that phone.

Way back when I bought my keyboard/workstation, I researched yet again to see what, at that time, was the best of the best. I chose the Roland Fantom -S. It was by far the best over Yamaha Motif and Korg Triton.

I’m only saying that I’m not a “keep up with the Joneses” kinda guy. I can only say it’s the ”best” if I actually found out in expert opinions that it truly is the best. I have a 50 inch 720p TV which I knew from the start wasn’t “the best” so you won’t hear me say anything but..."it’s a really nice big HDTV”. I may have at the time called it my “Best Value Per Dollar” as I was on a budget. In no way would I imply untruth to things I like/see/buy/own/want. Some things are just the best...for me alone.

  3. Some time before, I really needed to buy a good car for my corporation but I didn’t have enough money and could not order anything. Thank God my fellow proposed to try to take the business loans from creditors. Thus, I did that and used to be happy with my financial loan.

  4. We can dispute for a long time about the chronicle of term paper writing, but will tell that the buy research paper service could compose the famous quality papers for money at all time. Is it correct?
