Even though the new 3G iPhone will sell for quite cheap in the US (US$199 and US$299 for the 8GB and 16GB models respectively), I did not expect the prices in Singapore to fall as low. Yesterday’s Sunday Times carried an article that put the initial iPhone price in Singapore between S$500 and S$1000 (presumably ...
I’m looking at the new Nokia N97 flagship smartphone. It seema like a worthy upgrade replacement for my existing Nokia N95 8GB. For a Mac OS X user, a big question is if there is an iSync plugin available for the N97? Or an easy hack of an existing plugin to use with the N97?Related ...Related posts:Upcoming Nokia N97 I’ve been a Nokia Nseries smartphone user for …
I just got around to upgrading the firmware on my Linksys WRT610N Simultaneous Dual-N Band Wireless Router. At this time, the latest firmware is 1.00.02.10 (also shown as 1.00.02 B10). I decided to check out the firmware updates because the last two days I was having some random network connection problems through the WRT610N. Then, ...Related posts:Linksys WRT610N Dual Band …
A tower crane at the construction site of the new alumni house in NUS came crashing down this afternoon. It smashed through a walkway shelter and just missed a crowded bus stop and an internal shuttle bus. Heard there were some deaths. The place was crawling with police, campus security, reporters.

I’ve been wanting to say this for the longest time. Since receiving this mass email this morning, I thought it might as well be now. SOME NUS STUDENTS ARE REALLY VERY STUPID! Does it make sense to leave a notebook out there in the open, walk away from it, and expect it to stay put ...

The Chinese Restaurant serves traditional Cantonese cuisine, Dim Sum, and occasionally features specials from Sze Chuan, Shanghai, and Chiu Chow. Every time I come to this Chinese restaurant, which isn’t all that often … 
The Worker’s Party (WP) has won Hougang, again. I think the win isn’t unexpected, despite problems showing up within the WP in the run-up to this by-election. The only question was the swing in margin, in which direction and by how much. Going by the results, it seems the People’s Action Party (PAP) did well. They managed to increase their vote from 35.2% in …

If you’re eagerly waiting for Samsung’s latest flagship Galaxy S III (SGS3), it’s going to be here really soon. Soon as in next week. At the announcement earlier this month, Samsung had put availability in European markets on 29th May 2012, with other parts of the world to follow soon after. So, I had expected that Singapore would get the SGS3 sometime in … 
The first time I heard about Arduino was when Google announced, at Google I/O 2011, the Android Open Accessory Development Kit based on Arduino. Arduino is a prototyping system for embedded projects, something a hobbyist would use to build all sorts of interesting electronic gadgets. I was quite excited about the development because, well, it’s an interesting …
