Is it Really Useful?

COMPUTEX 2008   Lost in Translation

Some are rather enthusiastic…and probably over-estimating their usefulness.  If you look closely, you’ll see they make snake-skin 2.5″ hard drive enclosures…one of which is purple.  Purple…snake-skin.  To their credit, they said “useful” and not “tasteful”.

Size Matters…

I’m not sure what Pretec here really knows about the “big impact” of innuendo in their tagline. Though some would say size doesn’t matter, we all know it does. If you have “Small Size” I wouldn’t broadcast that to the world.

Overestimating Size

Others are straight up lies.  Those couldn’t be bigger than double-Ds!

Dongs and Wangs

But the signs that cause the most snickers…well, you really can’t go wrong with wang…or dong, for that matter.

If current trends continue and English improves yet again at COMPUTEX 2009, we might have even less “Engrish” to enjoy and comment on next year. Good for them, bad for us I guess. Oh well, at least we’ll always have booth babes!

About

Ed Lau got his first computer when he was 7-years old (a 386 20MHz with 4MB of RAM!) and has been building and tweaking them ever since. He is also a semi-professional photographer based in Vancouver, BC. While he is a recent convert to console gaming, buying an Xbox 360 back in 2006, he is easily better than Stephen Fung when it comes to shredding and melting faces in Guitar Hero and Rock Band.
