WHAT DID I MISS?
Greater London, 10 December 2014, I am back! What can
I say? Did you miss me? I know you did! Lol! I guess you wanna know why I was
away for such a while, right? Okay, I will tell you!
1. The area where I live has had
some trouble with the Internet; broadband was down in my neighbourhood. All I
can say is do not trust Virgin Media! That company is NUTS!!! So, I was forced
to go with another company as Virgin was taking way too long!! I have had it
with them! Phooey!!
2. The weather down South (London)
has been mixed... The one time I needed a warmer jacket is when I caught the
flu!
3. With all of the above I decided
to take a break! There’s no point in stressing over things that I have very
little control over! And now I am back!
In the time that I took off I noticed that other technology media outlets have
finally caught up with me! Hahahaha! I tell you... ...it’s so, so very funny
when I sometimes get slated for my insights and points of view by allsorts!
However, I was proven right on many issues! For example, regarding Samsung’s loss
of profits I stated that Samsung needs to produce less handsets at the lower
end of the market because other manufacturers – from China in particular – are
producing cost effective lower-mid-range handsets at a budget price. A couple
of good examples are Motorola (Lenovo) and Huawei with the Moto G and Ascend G6
handsets.
I have always maintained that the iPad is dead as far as the mass market is
concerned; naturally I got slated by a bunch of Apple fans! Hahahaha! It is
pretty darned obvious that the iPad does not have the appeal that Android
tablets have. I predicted that Android tablets will sell exponentially come
Christmas – watch out for my Android tablet recommendations! But, yes...
Android tablets was one of the best sellers of the UK’s first Black Friday!
DECEMBER 5 2014:
FIRST UK BLACK FRIDAY
Oh dear! The UK’s first Black Friday turned out to be a mixed bag! Why?
Great! I am glad you asked! Okay, if you are reading this from abroad you ought
to know that the UK has quite a few supermarket chains with an electrical /
electronic goods department that have stocked up on unknown electronic brands,
Analflosstronics. So, many simple minded folk were hoodwinked into thinking
that they were getting great deals on these unknown branded flatscreen TVs! I
watched the news coverage on this from my sickbed and I laughed my head off!
The spectacle of these folk with these flatscreen TVs in their arms that once
languished in cold, dank stockrooms designated for a Christmas sale anyway!
What happened was this: supermarket chains took on a load of cheap TVs, etc and
couldn’t get rid of them. As a result the supermarket chains invested into
known brands and displayed them with the best of the unknown brands. In
addition the top well known brands kept on releasing new TVs to the market thus
making last year’s brands cheaper! Black Friday was the perfect way to get rid
of non-selling stock!
I think the best Black Friday deals came from PC World / Currys which is the
UK’s largest computer and electrical goods store in the UK! There they had a
great range of Android tablets that had some great reductions on them! The
likes of ASUS, Archos and Acer did quite well; a majority of their tablets sold
out! So, yes... ...Android tablets did quite well on the whole; so many of my
UK friends now have an Android tablet thanks to Black Friday!
POST FIRST UK BLACK
FRIDAY
I am predicting that we just might see more reductions come the 19th
of this month all the way up to Christmas Eve. The supermarket chains – Tesco
in particular – aren’t doing so well and I predict that they’ll reduce more
tablets and accessories such as generic tablet cases, microSD cards and so on!
Watch out!

SYNAPSE CIRCUIT TECH CHRISTMAS SHOPPING LIST!
I am going to do my best to list what I think will make great Christmas
gifts in the following categories:-
SMARTPHONES
From budget to mid-range all the way to the super-premium! If you are looking
for the perfect smartphone gift you can rely on my recommendations! If your
contract is due for renewal hang on!
TABLETS
If you are looking for a high-end tablet for serious productivity on the go or
something for the family or even a decent tablet for the student, Synapse Circuit
will sort you out! Prepare to be surprised!
APPS
I will do my best to recommend some worthwhile apps for both the smartphone and
tablet!
PC SOFTWARE
You have probably figured out already that the PC isn’t dying for now! Uh-uh!
The chances are that you have a PC at home that has stood the test of time.
Perhaps you are looking to build a website for your business idea? Hey, you
have all that video footage on your mobile; why not edit the footage together
and create DVD / Bluray discs for friends and family? And don’t you think it’s
about time you got round to making your own original music? And think about all
those pictures on your phone that could do with some editing? You could have a
go at making greeting cards out of those pictures!
I will do my best from now until December 23rd to list as many gift
ideas as possible!
GENERAL HARDWARE /

I will do my best to list various forms of hardware that includes Bluetooth
speakers, PC speakers, security cameras, laptop bags, tablet bags and just
about anything that I can review!

WAVES
Dear Synapse Circuit Readers,
I have to tell you that this year has been very, very rough for me and I have
tried not to let it interfere with my articles! You name it I have gone through
it this year... Illness, friends and family being seriously ill, friends and
family passing away: RIP! Then there’s so-called friends deciding that it would
be a good idea to take advantage of my good nature! Jeez! <Rolls eyes>
That’s not even the half of it! Lol! If I revealed all you probably wouldn’t
believe me!
I can only apologize if my writing hasn’t been up to my usual standards! But
you know what? I am still here! I am still doing what I love which is to not
only test and review gear but to bring you an informed viewpoint. I’d like to
think that I have been critical and objective. I hope that you will agree!
Most of all I am a consumer! I want the best for myself and therefore I want
the best for you too!
I think it’s so important to be real and not let manufacturers, software
houses, etc bias my opinion. I am not like these so-called writers that say, “Apple,
Apple, iPhone, iPad, Apple... Oh, and get a Mac too! Now where’s my money, Tim?”
Hahahaha! Uh-uh! I take pride in my work!
I will take the time to thank you for appreciating my work while I have the
time! The coming weeks will be NUTS!!!! So much to do and so little time!
Right, I will do my best to bring you what I can! So, stay tuned and watch this
space! I have been so busy offline in my private life that I haven’t had the time
for a site redesign! Soon!
There you go!
That’s something to think about!
Thank you for your patience! I look forward to bringing you some gift ideas –
even if the gifts are for you! Yeah, spoil yourself! Or yourselves! Wink,
wink...
