Worship the tech goddesses or face the wrath and punishment!
Dec 14, 2007 09:59Charming tech goddesses mesmerized thousands of desperate tech worshippers at Taiwan's biggest tech show "IT Month" and this geek was there to witness all the crazy adulation and worship!

One sweet looking HTC tech goddess who willingly posed for this geek's camera.



Tech worshippers literally threw themselves at her feet.

And listened attentively to every golden word that rolled out of her lips, nevermind that they are promoting HTC's latest Touch Dual.



Apacer recruited not one but three tech goddesses to spread their religion.







And the worshippers were totally abandoned in worship.


Altina's call to worship.

AMD already has a strong cult following.



So does Canon..




And many bowed to the statue of Kingston, led by his tech goddess who looks more like an auntie?!



pqi had a fairy godmother instead..




Sandisk had tech goddesses dressed as biker chicks to match their Ducati sponsorship theme.
Even the Taiwanese government recruited the aid of Tech goddesses towards their cause of e-government :
Well, if only these goddesses can save them in the looming elections!
This tech goddess forced her worshippers to chant "Transcend" repeatedly and to swear totally allegiance, now and forevermore:




This crazy worshipper even demonstrated how the first word he ever learnt was not "mama" or "papa" but "Traaaaannnnnnsssscend"!








Deceit can come in beautiful packages indeed...

The most beautiful packages indeed, as HP proves :


Don't be fooled by the sweet gentle demeanor..


This HP tech goddess really got the crowd going wild!
Defiant in the face of all the ongoing craziness adulation, this geek came face to face with the tech goddess of Garmin:


Again don't be deceived, for this is one goddess of wrath who will punish those who do not worship her!


As this geek who refused to raise his hands in worship learnt:


For I was severely punished by this tech goddess of wrath with a severe thud on the forehead through this weapon of wrath:
Yes... standing at my "safe distance of observation", this tech goddess threw this weapon straight at me with a loud whack to my forehead!
Shall I be repentant from this day on?
Many tech angels littered the hallways and byways:





(Photos overload--more photos in upcoming posts!)
And some came to this geek's comfort after his "punishment":



This angel of the sun convinced me to buy a solar charger for my gadgets:

Even Skype-man and Skype-woman came to the "rescue":
All thanks to the phone booth provided by Skype which enabled this geek to ring for help:
"Alo sexy skype-man? I need your help to tame this Garmin tech goddess of wrath!"
