"In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face is that, in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is more meaningful than our criticism designating it so.

But there are times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the discovery and defense of the new"

Not one, but TWO SUPER AWESOME GOOD NEWS!

Some news I get excited at, and then there's some news that I get EXCITED at, such as this one:

CANON ADDS A NEW EOS MODEL TO ITS DSLR RANGE

Oh yeah, it's a new camera. But not just ANY camera, it's the NEW CANON EOS 500D DSLR camera (also known as the Rebel T1i)...Oh sure it may be just an entry-level dSLR, but I'm no professional and if I should get this baby for myself, I should be very much satisfied with it. Not too impressed with its high definition video recording, but I am admiring its ability to churn out lovely images which beats any point-and-shoot midget big time. In fact, one early hands-on reviewer had even mentioned that the EOS 500D (beta model) takes pictures comparable to those taken from its next-level upgrade: the EOS 50D. I'm convicted.



*Falling on knees* Oh mighty celestial powers of above! I petition ye to wring the clouds apart and rain down gold from heaven, that I might buyeth the tool to maketh pictures of thy creation. *Sky thunders and rains down 24K gold nuggets*


Okay, drama's over. Onwards for EVEN MORE IMPORTANT NEWS:


STARBUCKS UNVEILS STARBUCKS VIA READY BREW - That's Starbucks® coffee in an instant.



INSTANT STARBUCKS!!! COULD IT BE? YES!!!! By the powers of all things caffeinated we have been endowed with possibly the best gift to all java-drinking disciples yet - A just-add-water-solution to Starbucks coffee. Oh and early reviews said it tastes like freshly brewed coffee!



I know I realised this announcement a little later then most, but Holy Crap...it's news worth sharing with the WWW (whole wide world)! I can see the demise of flat-tasting instant coffee in my pantry now...it's wonderful news, like spring flowers after the bitter cold.

Here's a promo video on the subject matter:

Camera pricing, not sure yet...it's set for release in May 2009, actual price may vary from store to store...till then, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for something lower than rm 3.5k....

as for Starbucks Via...in Malaysia, not yet...possibly a year or more waiting time, maybe longer...sob...have to wait till then, or ask someone who's travelling to the States to get some samples back...
