Jul 29th, 2007 | By Ridz | Category: Featured I had several really good conversations with various people over the past couple of days…And today must be the best because it really caps things off perfectly… Woke up and basically lazed around for a bit before getting a text from Jas sa...

The time has come for an overall review of the Dell XPS 15z. The story the technical specifications of a product tell is often not the same after you actually use it for an extended period of time – that seemingly fast machine starts to crawl after installing a few more applications a...
these days, I get to see my fellow Hackerspacers (is this what they’re called? ) work on really cool things. Recently, some folks tried installing a giant red button to unlock the main door without having to actually go to the door and that process produced several very simple circuit...
One week into using the Dell XPS 15z, and a problem that has surfaced is the inability to turn off the trackpad despite having your own USB mouse. This becomes a bit of a problem as I’m typing because my palm tends to brush against the trackpad and that causes the cursor to either shi...

Taking it out of the box, the first thing I can’t help noticing is how beautiful the design of the Sony Tablet S is. It’s slightly curved on one side which makes it lopsided but as soon as I lift it up and hold it in portrait mode, it’s clear that it’s not only an aesthetic considerat...
Back in Early October 2011, Sony announced the launch of the Sony Tablet S – an Android™ 3.2 tablet running on the NVIDIA Tegra™ 2 processor. With a 9.4-inch (1280×800 resolution) LED-backlit IPS screen and WiFi connectivity, it promises to deliver enjoyable web browsing, rich enterta...

I stumbled upon this interesting comic about Mickey Mouse trying to commit suicide…Rather comical I’d say…although it’s actually quite morbid to be putting such a theme into a children’s comic…

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 web, I couldn’t find anyone who shared their designs(so that I could work off their canvas) so I had t...
The London School of Business and Finance (LSBF) announced last Friday the official opening of it’s Singapore campus which is also the first in the Asia-Pacific region. Headquartered in London, LSBF has a global presence with 3 campuses in the UK, Toronto and a new campus opening in S...
Found out that if you have the Google+ mobile app and an NFC phone, you can actually tap NFC tags that contact text type content and it would launch Google+ with the text content pre-typed into the status update field. I can already think of how it can be used at events ;p

I had the privilege of attending Alcatel-Lucent’s Enterprise Dynamic Tour 2011 several weeks ago. To be honest, I knew little about Alcatel Lucent and was expecting to be bombarded with lots of technical presentations surrounding communication infrastructure so I was very glad that th...
BlackBerry devices have always been known for their long battery lives and the PlayBook is no exception. Upon receiving the device, I had it charged to about 93% unplugged it and left to meet a couple of friends. Time: 7.30pm. Between then and 4.15am, I had watched 2 episodes of Crimi...

Ok, moving from cost of living, there’s education. I’ve always had a problem with the education system here. It’s so closely pegged to industry requirements that it really is just a people factory. Take them young, naive and innocent on one side and mould them into software engineers…...
The Touchsmart 610 was of particular interest because I own one and really wanted to see how different it was from the one I have( which is the TouchSmart 300 ). It’s really made quite the leap in terms of it’s design and software. For one, it’s really nice that it can be tilted to a ...
