Podcast.sg is a joke
These jokers think that Podcasting is all about recorded radio shows. Freaking idiots. Podcasting does not come from the media companies, but from independent producers like us.
Will shoot more later…. I’m dead tired.
Sexiest Geek of 2007
Old news here maybe, but here goes. Violet Blue has a top ten list of 2007’s sexiest geeks, and Veronica Belmont topped this year’s list. Kevin Rose probably didn’t make it due to his new corny haircut.
Problems with Digg Login
I have been having problems logging into Digg.com for quite a while, and seriously have no idea if it is due to my ISP or to Digg. Since I still see a lot of new diggs daily, I am pretty sure it’s not Digg. Anyone can help? Since I can’t login to Digg there’s no way I can even digg this article.
Everytime I try to login, the blank page, shown below, loads, and nothing happens. Argh. This is driving me crazy.
P.S. Have tried contacting Digg about it but they did not respond even till now.
More proof that Mac bashers lack real intelligence
Just chanced upon this old thread on a overclocking forum. Are the mods there dumb or what? All the poor guy was asking was for a Windows-based Photobooth clone and they start talking about buying digital cameras and applying advanced filters and even mentioned virtualdub.
Just further proof that Mac bashers have no real intelligence.
The disappearing Mac Minis
Was at Funan today with a friend, Hansen, just doing some window shopping after successfully getting an exchange for my Logitech USB Audio Headset. Somehow the topic of a home media centre came up, and I was telling him how much better a Mac Mini will do the job compared to this stupid looking round saucer-like Sony Vaio we seen in a Sony shop on the second floor. We decided to go check out the price of the Mac Mini, and to my surprise and shock, none of the Mac resellers in Funan were selling the Mac Minis! I didn’t exactly probe the reason behind the non-sales, but something tells me that the Mac Mini will be no more.
Is the Mac Mini finally going to get killed during MacWorld? Will there be a much better and slimmer replacement?
iPhone 1.1.2
Seems like Apple has hit Holy Grail on firmware 1.1.2. As of now there is still no unlock possible for out of box 1.1.2s, and the hackers don’t seem to be making much progress.
Looks like the cat has killed the mouse.
SLS IT Fair
The following is part of the description for the upcoming GetIT IT Fair at Sim Lim Square. Apparently the main sponsor is Song Brothers, a shop many will condemn and swear not to buy from.
“….our objectives for this event go beyond attracting bargain-hunters or offering the lowest prices, to positioning Sim Lim Square as a prominent player in the industry to local as well as international consumers….”
Translation: We want to cheat more ang mohs out of their money.
Apple cracks down on illegal Singapore iPhone retailers
So the truth is out. All the so-called rumors of iPhones coming to Singapore in December were right, except that they meant illegally unlocked iPhones. Now Apple is finally cracking down on these jokers. Good bye to those idiots in the HWZ forums buying the silly “official SG iPhone” story that I posted a few months earlier.”
