Windows Vista – Slow! Bill Gates: No No No!

With all the hype and publicity on Windows Vista going on in Singapore, I guess I can only commend on the efforts MS Singapore is putting into promoting the OS. However in that limelight, definitely the main selling point and MS broke in sales will tell you that it's "safer", "more secure", "looks fabulous" and has "excellent media PC...

What goes around comes around – Comp down again

The week started with my computer conking out on me again, exactly one year since I last changed the motherboard, it seemed that it went out again, this time with a blank system after it failed trying to recover the bios. Maybe I was too caught up with force booting the past month just to get work and projects...

Finally, Nice and Tidy! New HP L2335

Mum got about purchasing 2 HP L2335 23" WSXGA Monitors after getting a good deal from HP warehouse through a fellow colleague. These babies would easily go for $2k each in stores but got it at about less than half the price ($699/ea) with a three year warranty each. With this beast, it's bye bye to the 24" Dell...

Samsung Q35 Notebook Review

Samsung Q35 Review Introduction Touted as the "world's smallest Core Duo laptop", the Samsung is indeed a really small beast, in fact it's feels even lighter than it looks.

Dell Laptop Use Banned From Qantas Flights

New Qantas regulations make it clear that no Dell laptops, not even those unaffected by the battery recall, are allowed to contain batteries while on the plane. That means nada usage while your fellow flightmate beside you happily go tippy-tappy on their Vaio with the same defective battery. Apparently as we all know, the Dell batteries that were recalled were...

Technology – Above & Beyond

10 years ago, when we are all still thinkering cheap $20 mini arcade toys or with pagers & alphanumeric morse codes in school I never thought of the day where everyone my family would own a handphone each. Gone are the days of kids playing with plastic "make believe toy handphones" on the streets, now I've even seen primary...

BulletProof HP StorageWorks XP12000

HP has a tendency to use gun metaphors when talking about their storage solutions, and the newest one is 'bulletproof'. Instead of the wussy technical term for it, they went out and shot a hole clean through a half-million dollar Storageworks XP12000 server while it was running. The bullet went right through it, but only half way through the fishtank on...

Not CoreDuo after all

With CoreDuo laptops slowly making it's way into the market, apparently some tech-savy consumers like me is fad up in waiting for such new computers to hit mainstream, whether its a new laptop for my sis or a new tablet for me. It just takes too long for any new processor release to come out, especially when you urgently need...

Urgent & Important?

Important but Urgent? or Important but not Urgent? These are the things which came to mind after a short chat with mum over lunch today at BM central, when considering the purchase of my laptop before school reopens.
