The ways they scam.

Scammers are everywhere especially sim lim square. Recently, I went to sim lim square hoping to get an iPod Touch 4. Yes i know i should not get it there cause its full of scammers, but many place are out of stock, so...

Ok to cut things short here are some of the ways they going to scam you.

1. They quote the price higher than retail price.
So they told me SGD$468 (32GB) but the retail is only $428. So I further probe him. And then he said its cause of bundled casing and screen protector. But for $40??? Bullshit. He said its unlocked also. WTF? iPod touch can never be unlock. There is not carrier attached to it, what is there for you to unlock. I gave him the WTF face and he finally said, that its only add free games and jailbreak. After all this commotion, he finally gave up on scamming me. (I have no choice, many places were out of stock, but to negotiate with him till retail price. srsly negotiating for retail price, everyone would think wtf.)

2. They add GST.
So after the price is fix to be at 428 without anything. He asked me if i want to jailbreak it. I said no. I would not want my devices to be brick by him. (The tools just came out not long ago, and he do not know what he is using to jailbreak it when i asked him, yet he want to do for me for a fee. -.- ) So things settled and he wrote the receipt. He added GST. I was like wtf? Why is there GST and he is not telling us any shit?
I asked him again. This time he say it very loudly and claim everywhere includes GST. Then bet with me $20 if others place have GST. So I gave him few quotations in other stores. He gave up, lose face, and is very angry. But who cares. I am glad to see him this way for scamming others who are new to such devices.

Ok so i got my stuff, paid $428 (i forgot to tell him of his bet of $20, damn. But i think he would be raging. hahaha). I left immediately. He was cursing at the back for not earning addidtional $40 and the GST of nearly $20.

So to everyone buying things at Sim Lim Square, I would strongly urge you to check the price throughly before buying. And do not have to be scared to resist them cause they way they speak to you. You can just walk out if you are not happy with the price.

TeamViewer: Remote Access, Control, Chat

Teamviewer is an excellent choice for all users to remotely connect to their peers, or personal pc at home from office. All you need to do is to have internet connection on both side of the pc and teamviewer. You can run teamviewer both installed or use it as portable applications. But some functions may be not available. So its best to install.

After connecting to the peers with teamviewer, you can use it to transfer files remotely(acting like ftp but without any settings required), chat with friends, control the other computer, share your screen with other computer and etc...

Speedwise, its pretty fast, the only bottleneck maybe your internet connection. Other than that is very fast. A better option to use other than Msn Messenger to troubleshoot pc problem and transfering files. Saving allot of hassle in creating share folders.

To note: This application is free for personal use only. Thus if you are using it for a company, please buy this application.
