Is an individual's freedom to do something more important than another individual's freedom from something? My country takes a rather paternalistic view on this but like I said, i am casually optimistic that things will change and we as a

A question. Is there a way for anyone to know their laptop is taking photos of them? Be it a Mac or a PC. And is there a way to know if my computer is transmitting those images. I wonder whether such apps can be installed by malicious i

I can't remember where I got this quote from, but early on I learned that there are basically three ways to beat the US in technology: 1. The Japanese Way - Innovate By Leapfrogging. 2. The Indian Way - Innovate By Piggybacking. 3. The Chin

As a developer based in Singapore, it seems that PayPal is the best option. Would like to ask the international developers what options have they used and to the US based companies - when are you bringing your awesome services internationa

What about.me did for profiles (facebook), it seems this is a similar take on songs (myspace). It is interesting really ... I had musician friends share their songs by sending a public box.net URL. This would have worked so much better fo

What's interesting is that companies were already creating incentives for people to like a page, check-in to a place, post to a wall ... Now, not only do they have to create incentives for these actions to take place, they have to pay Faceb

Maybe because ultimately doing a clone means you are fighting for a percentage in what is already a fixed pie? Google as a company definitely has the smarts to create a new market.

It seems to me that with this launch, Google has become more like Microsoft when Google was gaining some sort of ascendancy - a juggernaut that is so afraid of the upstarts that they chase the shadows of the next big thing, in this case Gro

The interface and mechanics of the site looks like an emerging pattern in data collection to understand the relations between nodes on the social graph. Seems like a throwback to the days when psychologists would show physical cards and as

Haha. Yes! Growing up with the ubiquity of libraries and books, I found it quaint that finding a book was something considered difficult enough that it was a job of professionals and that a premium was paid for the effort to locate the bo

When Borders came to Singapore, it became the bookstore with probably the best selection of books in stock. It easily became my favorite place to browse and buy books. Two recent incidents stood out which made me realized that Borders was

The thing about Tim Ferris' solution to improving your life is that it is built on the base of people who cannot work 4 hour work weeks. It is like a Multi-Level Market company, except now with time being sold instead of products. Eventual

I've only changed jobs once, but I do talk to enough people who are responsible for hiring to know some of the thought processes. Potential employers want to know your salary so that they can avoid paying you more than required. What's the

One thing I don't understand is the tech pundits' tendencies to implicitly imply that to build the next big company on the web, one needs to stop, kill, destroy, annihilate the last big Internet company. Why can't Facebook be an unstoppable
