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...

PC Show 2006, 3rd Laptop in 2 Months

Dropped by the PC show today as usual, its super crowded & more cramped than the IT Show early this year, maybe due to a smaller hall size. Nevertheless, had the crosshair's set on a new notebook for Mum, who was there with Dad today as well. Been sometime since I went for an IT show with my parents...

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. Maybe it wasn't the calories in the popular Hainanese Chicken rice we were having which sparked my mind going on the matter. Few months ago,...

Re-capping the PSU failure

Mmm didn't really get much of blogging lately. Anyway here are some worthy highlights of the last week worth noting.

I only discovered about the...

Laptop Dilemma

Been surfing around a lot lately to check out good laptop buys, hoping to get one before school reopens. But there are just no good Tablet PCs around at the moment. I was once fascinated with laptops in secondary school, where I got my first personal notebook in secondary two. It lasted with my till Junior college days, an old...

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 the UMPCs...
