Apple ID with US address

cpchew — Fri, 24 Jan 2014 00:22:16 +0800

Okay, I created an Apple ID based on a US address and it was successful. The reason for me to do so is I thought using a US based Apple ID with iTune will give me more choices in iTunes and later with my Apple TV when I change its location to US.

I just signed in the App Store using the US based Apple ID.

My question is : will these actions cause me any problems or troubles in the future? Or there is no benefit at all doing so. If there is any wrong doing, I think I can always change the address back to Malaysia, right????

Kindly advice me. Thanks.

Another Question : Is the Apple ID that I used to sign in the App Store permanently tied to my MBA, so all my future actions with this MBA will have to be associated with this Apple ID. Or I can sign in the App Store using a newly created Apple ID and download App to this MBA using the new Apple ID?

Thanks.

Hi, recently bought a Tanita Innerscan Body Composition Monitor, does anyone ever own or try on these scales before? How accurate are the readings that you get from the monitor?

I am 37, the monitor tells me I am 31 in the evening, but tells me that I am 39 in the morning. Besides that the fat percentage, water content, viscular fat level, muscle mass, bone mass etc.... Are the figures believable?

Thanks for sharings.

For Nintendo Wii, Glam Slam Tennis and Virtual Tennis 09 are more than 1 and a half year old since their release in June 2009, will there be any new tennis games coming along? I know Tiger Woods golf has one coming out every year.

Anyone knows about Rayman Rabbid TV party? How is it compared to Wii Party?

Can the opinions on those websites be trusted?

Hi, I am new to TV games, so hope to get some suggestions. I have two kids, 3 and 4 yrs old. My Nitendo 64 is too difficult for them to play. So I was thinking of getting a Nitendo WII. Is it a good idea?

I just surfed the internet and found out that X-Box will launch x-Box Kinect. Which will sence your body movements and let you be the controller. I think it is veryyyyy cooooool. What do you guys think?

How about Sony Playstation? Any good??

Thanks in advance.

[WTS] YONEX SBH101LTD - BLUE (CHONG WEI VERSION)

Yonex Sunrise and Yonex Japan

Hi, I am a keen badminton player that play twice a week. 5 years ago I started buying Yonex badminton shoes, SHB99. I love them, very light and comfortable.

3 years ago, I bought another pair, SBH100LTD, I was diappointed with its quality compared to SHB99, heavier and gave me pain when wearing them for the first few weeks.

Today I just bought another pair, SBH101LTD, totally diappointed. Not to mention that it is heavier but they actually cause me a great deal of pains. I play about 6 games today and towards the last 2 games, the pain was so much that I felt like taking them off. But I can't because I was in the middle of the games.

Okay, for what I know, you can buy (1) from Yonex Sunrise, which is a local agent for Yonex (2) buy from those who sell Yonex shoes that are directly imported from Japan. My question is : are those from Japan have better quality compared to those from yonex Sunrise.

My other question is, for the high end shoes, why Yonex produced worse instead of better shoes over the time.

Any Yonex shoes expert out there that can enlighten me regarding this puzzled issue. I miss my SHB99 very much but I cannot buy them anymore, what a pity.

Many thanks.

Benefit of Multiple Drivers

Dear Guys,

I am a new member in this forum. I recently bought a pair of Sennheiser CX300II. I was quite happy with it. Not long ago, I found a Headphone Shop openned in my area. I kind of wanting to know more about these little IEMs/IN EARs/(WHAT EVER YOU WANT TO CALL THEM).

I heard there are multiple drivers in an ear piece, I thought it was amazing. Mini speakers inside the little ear piece. I therefore started to research in this forum and found brands like Ultimate Ears, Shure, Westome, Jerry Harvey and so on...

As I just read enough of those, I want to ask questions regarding those multiple drivers IEM.

For you guys that have experienced Single Driver IEM and Multiple Drivers IEMs, can you really tell their differences? I listen mostly to vocal and modern classical music, is it better to use multiple drivers or no. Will the vocal part be significantly clearer. Will the sound clarity be significantly better. I appreciate good sound clarity.

For the number of drivers, does it mean the more the better, or is there a threshold?

I know I should go to Jaben in KL and try out as many headphones as I can, but I live at the other side of the sea, therefore I think it is best for me to do a bit of research before actually popping up at Jaben (at lease yuheng or walabies will know what I am talking about).

Thanks a lot...
