	<dc:creator>lzs</dc:creator>
	<description><![CDATA[This by-election is for residents of Hougang to vote for their member of parliament. On the surface, it seems like it doesn&#8217;t concern anyone else in Singapore. But quite the contrary, this by-election continues to be ever important for everyone in Singapore. The scale of the election is certainly smaller, but it is not any less important. National issues continue to be …]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[It even sets the bar for Apple&#8217;s next iPhone launch. Over the first weekend, the last iPhone reportedly received 4 million pre-orders. The Samsung Galaxy S III (SGS3), on the other hand, now has some 9 million handsets on pre-order. I don&#8217;t know when all the pre-ordering began (and some sites like the German Amazon started taking pre-orders even before the SGS3 …]]></description>

	<dc:creator>lzs</dc:creator>
	<description><![CDATA[Today&#8217;s Straits Times reports about LTA reviewing the penalty framework for MRT breaches. Everyone&#8217;s very mad about all the recent MRT breakdowns, particularly the two major incidents in December 2011. We&#8217;re all thinking that the MRT operator should be fined heavily. But do you wonder, at the end of the day, who really pays for the fines? If the …]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[SCADA, or Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition, security breaches are not often heard about. At least, not at the same level of other sorts of computer crimes. But SCADA has the potential to impact the physical environment, physical security, and personal safety of all of us, so such incidents should not be taken lightly. For those who are unfamiliar with SCADA, …]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[We were back again at The Line, the buffet restaurant at Shangri-La hotel. It was yet another $29 lunch buffet promotion. The Line serves an international cuisine buffet. Their 16 culinary stations serves a very wide spread of food to suit every taste bud. It was a sort of buffet extravaganza, featuring Japanese food, Chinese dim-sum, Italian cuisine, Indian dishes, and even …]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[As much as I sympathize with football fans who were upset by SingTel&#8217;s mioTV epic failure during the epic EPL season finale, I&#8217;m glad I don&#8217;t watch football. I would otherwise have been completely infuriated and spent the following week organizing a campaign against SingTel. This is a colossal engineering failure. Surely SingTel knew the number of …]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve traded in my Samsung Galaxy S II (SGS2) for the HTC One X, HTC&#8217;s latest flagship smartphone. It was surprisingly not a very difficult choice. The Samsung Galaxy S III (SGS3) was just announced earlier this month, and it does look like a a great phone. The choice between the SGS3 and HTC One X, however, wasn&#8217;t too difficult for me. I&#8217;ll tell you …]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[That&#8217;s right. Nokia&#8217;s latest Pureview 808 handset has soared to such great heights never before reached by other mobile phones. Literally. The Pureview 808 was carried by a ballon up 34 km high. From there, it took really cool pictures of our planet Earth. Not the whole lot of it, like you would see from the moon, but certainly impressive enough and something …]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[I feel a little strange reviewing a product without really knowing precisely what that product is. It is an Android tablet, that&#8217;s for sure. But I&#8217;ve yet to figure out exactly what sort of tablet it is. You know, as in its make and model. This Android tablet is a gift I received as compensation for tolerating a 90 min (or as it in fact almost 2 hrs?) timeshare …]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[When Apple releases the next generation if iPhone that&#8217;s not a whole lot different from the current generation, they just add &#8216;S&#8217; to the model name. For example, the iPhone 3GS is a small upgrade from the 3G, and the iPhone 4S is similarly a small upgrade from the 4. When I picked up on Samsung&#8217;s &#8220;The Next Galaxy&#8221; details this morning, I …]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Ian was down with HFMD the last week or so. To be safe, both him and Vanessa were grounded at home. We try to keep them apart as much as possible so that, hopefully, Vanessa does not get infected. She had a false alarm with HFMD before previously. She doesn&#8217;t have any symptoms at all this time around. Vanessa and Ian have been quite miserable to be stuck at home all …]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Can you replace your notebook with a tablet? This seems to be a common question. I came across this article on PhoneArena, and decided I&#8217;d share my thoughts on it too. I&#8217;ve been commuting to work with my MacBook Pro, and since I have an iPad, I&#8217;ve been asking myself if it will suffice to just bring my iPad along. In my office, I&#8217;ve a full desktop …]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Let me guess. You might have heard of ESET, but you&#8217;re not very familiar with their products? Well, you could be forgiven, because they&#8217;ve got just 2% share of Singapore installations and 9% share of the global installations. But they have promising products and look set to grow from strength to strength. I attended their blogger engagement event a couple of days …]]></description>

Then it got exposed by the Sunday Times article yesterday that Alvin Wang, the person seeking support for his appeal to get into NUS, actually did get into NUS. In fact, he was offered a place in the School of Computing&#8217;s Information Systems course. But he did not want Information Systems, …]]></description>
