You've got to hand it to Dell's marketing team for (expensive) entertainment - they brutally destroy a perfectly good laptop to promote their own Dell Latitude XT tablet PC. Entertainment factor aside, the whole ad doesn't makes sense. Laptops can be sawn in half, so buy the Latitude XP? Huh? Does that mean the Latitude can handle the saw treatment? I doubt so.By the way, the …

'nuff said.

She grows increasingly afraid her legs wouldn't support her. They feel weak, and she wills them not to shake so, but to no avail. Her eyes, opened as wide as they could, stare at the four grownups sitting in front of her, lit under a harsh spotlight. Behind them is darkness, but she knows that in the velvet blackness thousands more pairs of eyes are focused on her.The …

...asks my aching head. My runny nose sniffs and my throat is lined with phlegm that I have to clear every few minutes.Why do I have to get sick now?We'll see how it goes. If I wake up tomorrow feeling the same way I did when I woke up today, then screw it. Lucky bastard OSIM.

It was inevitable, somehow.The machine's in New Jersey though, and the AT&T plan is sold separately. But still, the phone is US$599 so that gives you a whopping 599 tries before you start losing out.And if you and I know one thing, it's that arcades are like casinos: they make damn sure that all the math works in their favour. With superglue, perhaps? Or very, very weak …

Yes, it's scientifically proven. According to this new study, you should ditch your big-bellied buddies if you want to lose weight or stay slim.

So when one person gains weight, their close friends tend to gain weight too. It sounds …

6:13 pm. I had arrived at my tutee's flat early with some time left to burn before I was expected to ring the doorbell.So instead of taking the lift up to her floor, I made my way to the fitness corner nearby and threw myself onto one of the benches. There were children playing catch around the wooden structures, each no more than 3 years old, all shrieking and bubbling while …

Do tech and confectionery go together?I'm not talking about dunking your mobile phone in cake here. I mean making cookies and cakes and stuff like that in the shape of gizmos.Think about it: you can have a whole 'tech' shop without having a single wire in there at all. Just imagine your neighbourhood computer shop, except the memory cards are thin chocolates, the hard drives …

Hope this doesn't happen to Lee Hsien Loong on 9 Aug. His Belgian counterpart, Yves Leterme, sang the wrong national anthem when asked by TV reporters during National Day if he knew Belgium's La Brabanconne. He proceeded to sing France's La Marseillaise instead, an error which was swiftly uploaded onto YouTube for the world to snigger at. *Snigger*It would have been a pretty …

And if what the police suspect is true, all those dead babies are female - another reason why it sucks to be born female in less-developed countries.
