arty farty technology

Technology has come a long way since the first computer was built. It is considered one of the "youngest" industry. Anyway that is 5 years old in IT can jolly well be considered old. And I remember one of my lecturers was telling us about some mathematical problem that was only solved in recent time and he is referring to 50 years ago! And that is recent for maths, since it has some few thousands years history.

"Porn could decide DVD format battle" is an interesting article. Porn is helping you shape your technology. As I believe, the oldest industry and ever blooming industry is the sex trade. So next time you caught your hubby/wifey/beau/significant others/mister/missus surfing or watching porn. Don't blame them. They are helping the world to shape technology. They are doing their part hor! Who say porn does no contribution to the world??? They also helping Singapore produce to get sexually active hor! More active, the more chances got babies, no active, no babies for you.

After the email storage space is somewhat over, now you have someone else offering 10G of online storage. Clearly the gmail is a currently the winner, with accounts that are sellable. Incredible, dun you think so? Its always the consumers that stand to win. But there's a little catch. 100 meg limit per month. If you ask me, I think its as good as say "i'm giving you unlimited storage space but hor, you cannot consume it all, only can put abit each month, so it will last you a lifetime -- if my company dun close shop before you die". With that limit, it will take out 100 months to use up your limits. Does it sound like infinite to you? Never, I know singaporean. FREE ah, take first! Use or dun use, see how later!

Latest hoo-haa in the mp3 player world now is the new iPod shuffle that was launched just very very recently. And our dear Mr Sim Wong Hoo has offered some comments in regards to the "first generation mp3 player".

There are enough bloggers in the blogging world that is bitching about it. Search around and you are bound to find them. Add in my cow cents, there is nothing wrong with selling any shit. As long as you can fool the world into buying them, you are a winner. It doesn't matter what that is.

It is actually the same theory as buying designer wears. For a common looking jeans, you are paying nearly 5 times more than normal jeans for it coz its BRANDED. As my friend would put it, "you are paying 20% for the material, and 80% for the design and the name".

Tech gadgets have now become a fashion statementfashion statement. Their annual report card states it all. So iPod shuffle will become the next statement, you will never know. I just show a colleague the picture of the shuffle and her hubby is in love with it already. See? Its a proven tactics. Apple is changing the way people looking hi-tech gadget now.

Reminds me of my specs. I spend a fortune on it, in my cow sense. When people goes "hey, nice specs" and I will be thinking "i'm wearing an almost equivalence of 2 iPod on my face". Sighz. Why did I even buy it then? Must be the name, must be the name. That is probably the most expensive thing you will find on me, beside my handphone, which is like 3 iPod? Sighz. I'm not even thinking about mini.

I have lost my phone. So waiting for my new little statement to arrive. On mini when are you arriving? I miss you so much!
