Nintendo Rufflu-lution

Nintendo Rufflu-lution! Strange, theres nothing on the Nintendo Revolution in Singapore, due to be launched this japan year in answer to Sony's PS3 & the Xbox 360.

Suntec IT Show 2006 Report

Show report! Visited the IT show (Held Suntec 9th-12th March 2006) yesterday evening on the opening day, Thurday to beat the weekend crowds & check out the good fresh deals.

UMPC (Ultra Mobile Personal Computer)

Apparently, Microsoft is coming up with a new line of UMPC (Ultra Mobile Personal Computer), code-named Origami. It will be a seemless blend between our current PDAs & tablet/notebook PCs. So far the closest we had seen embarking on the concept previously was fujitsu with their ultraportable & highly successful Lifebook P1510. The only thing is that...

Semester Exams here I come!

Why must the dumb school place this semester's billing period smacked where our exams are? As if we don't have enough things on our minds already. Even it's a good strategy to get people to pay up or get booted from the exam hall, I believe such payment matters should be best dealt at the begining of...
