I was complaining to Ivan about how I was quite unimpressed by the HP Slate after looking at it being released and he told me about the Tegatech Tega. It’s a slate device that also runs on Windows 7. So when I went back to read about it, it’s actually pretty decent. Same price point ...Related posts:Bug in Facebook Mobile Makes Emails Free For All BlackBerry Torch … 
Just read on Techcrunch about Amazon intending to update the Kindle to allow people to lend their ebooks to others. Basically it would work such that ebook owners would be able to lend the book to someone else for a period of 14 days.

Just got news that Civ V got a major update. And some of the gripes I’ve had have been fixed.

Not sure if it’s just me or if NTU-related news is usually bad news. So when I saw this, I thought it’s worth sharing. I do hope that it gets commercialised in a big way. A lot of our work ends up becoming patents that rot on shelves or gets stuck within government-linked organisations never ...Related posts:IBM creates a supercomputer the size of chip Newsflash: …
I recently got myself a starbucks tumbler – the one where you could slot your own design into the double wall of the tumbler. I realised that it wasn’t as easy as just powering up photoshop and designing on a rectangular canvas because the shape of the tumbler requires a more ‘conical’ ; canvas. Searching the ...Related posts:Starbucks Singapore Finally … 
The nice folks over at GOODSTUPH got me over for a screening of The Event last evening and I’ll begin by saying that it’s one of those shows I hate because it’s going to keep me hooked on it for ages.

I saw the video featured in this video but never saw it as Derek did. The leader isn’t just the first fella to do something…it might actually be the first follower that is key.

If, like me, you’re a frequent visitor of the Starbucks at the Changi Airport and was disappointed to find out that the card couldn’t be used there, don’t worry because after emailing Starbucks to find out if this was a temporary problem, I received this reply: “This is only temporary as we are working with ...Related posts:Starbucks Singapore Finally …
After many years of not having any sort of rewards/loyalty program(i’m not sure why they scrapped the ‘stamp’ card they had many years ago and also the ‘prepaid’ ; card they had last year) they’ve finally launched a card! And I think the design’s really good too. Taking a leaf from their website, the perks of ...Related posts:A1800 …

Before I returned from Taiwan earlier in May, I had decided to throw away my sandals because I simply did not have enough space in my bag. This meant that I had to go sandal-less for the months following my return. And so I decided to hunt around for a new pair to buy. It ...Related posts:Kiva: Ruth Mbuga's Group Microloans – a more sustainable way to help? Project …

Ok, so I’m quite a fan(although I only ever play the the Romans and the Americans) when it comes to Civ and I wanted to find more people to play with, talk to about it or just know that I’m not the only nerd who loves conquering the world until the year 2050. But I ...Related posts:Civilization 5 Hong Kong Li Ka-Shing invests $60m in Facebook? British Police …

Somehow these past couple of weeks have seen me having to talk to people about how I use Basecamp from 37signals quite a bit. So I thought I’d just introduce you to how I use it and why I like it.
