I grew up in a tropical country and went to a Primary school which had massive number of Angsana tress directly outside the open windows. Everyday we would be bombarded by the sounds of multiple Cicadas chirping away. They were very loud an

I actually pay more for an iPhone to be in their walled garden (with all the restrictions therein) for the better security and privacy. I consider my smartphone to be an appliance and am ok to trade-off uber-customization-capabilities for b

It's a full-on capitalistic, paternalistic, walled garden sort of society with some restrictions (strict gun and drug control, limited free speech, etc). If you want complete freedom (right to bear arms, shoot up drugs, spout any manne

I have 2Gbs fibre optic broadband with no Internet filtering. I can download all the porn I want, view any site, etc. Complete freedom of religion. Prostitution is somewhat tolerated and licensed within defined areas, if you are so inclined

Not sure why this is news. There are a whole host of credit Card size phones available in China and you easily buy them on Aliexpress/Taobao at around < USD$30. Here's one example: https://www.aliexpress.com/ite

This seems to be a fake story that the Turkish secret service is making up to obfuscate the fact that they had listening devices planted within the consulate office. The Apple watch can't possibly sync with his iPhone being carried by

As someone with relatives who live and work in the KSA as expats, the perception that Americans and the world has about KSA is pretty much on point. It’s a country ruled by a brutal kleptocractic family, which uses a particularly ultra cons

I used to hang out with a British guy who invested in the DiskFax product and was also the distributor for Singapore and the APAC region, in the early 90s. Was a flop, though he sold a few to media/ad agencies that needed a simple way

Warsaw is a beautiful city with quite an active and thriving tech community. I thought of moving there after a visit recently, until I heard about a recent city sanctioned far right rally attended by 60K people demanding a "White Europ

Yes, bought a Newton also. Gave up using given the Beta level software. Couldn't ship one from the states those days. Apple didn't allow shipping overseas and eBay price was way too high.

I had an iPaq too, along with a range of HTC/HP/O2 Pocket PC and Windows Mobile devices. The overall experience was dismal with a very slow Mobile IE browser and awkward UX using a stylus. Using the iPhone was like experiencing an

As a Singaporean who went to school in the US, traveled and lived abroad extensively for a number of years, Singapore is a pretty decent place to live and raise a family. Singapore has more things right than wrong.

I was at the 1993 NeXT Expo and remember seeing JPB. Never quite understood his background at that time. But was intrigued by his connection to Steve Jobs and NeXT.
