Although this post is filed under the Tech Notes category, it really applies to everyone no matter how tech-savvy they may be. I previously wrote about issues with modern keyboards: how to enable arrows on the keypad and also about the position of the Control key. I am ranting once again because: a) this is [...]

Mini reviews of: Be With You (2004) / Love Letter (1995) / A Moment to Remember (2004) When introducing the iTunes Movie Rental service back in 2008, Apple CEO Steve Jobs was quoted as saying “Most of us watch our favourite movies… just once.” I tend to agree, but there are a few good films [...]
Human Target, for those who don’t know, is a new TV series about a mercenary and his supporting crew (a private firm) tasked with a variety of low-key missions involving things like industrial espionage, rescue, treasure-hunting, and world peace. The show seems to be gaining popularity around the world, and from what I can see, [...]
Reviewed: Shutter Island / Green Zone / Haeundae Shutter Island As I told a friend of mine (without spoiling it, but her other friend then kindly spoilt the fun for her), this film had me completely fooled right till the end – and beyond. That’s because even after learning the shocking yet inevitable truth, I [...]
I have been a fan of LOST since the beginning. I was in Fiji when the first season came out in 2004. I am still not able to pinpoint what it was that got me hooked; perhaps it was the “fact” that Oceanic Flight 815 was flying somewhere “near Fiji” when it went missing. Finally, [...]

Ceteris paribus, I’d say Adobe’s share in the world of rich internet applications will draw a downward curve over the coming months and years. The first reason is competition: [...]
Unlike Carly Palmer, I couldn’t finish the 509-page book in 2 hours and 34 minutes. Having finished it, however, I don’t think it’s possible to say what the Lost Symbol, after all, exactly was – because, well, it’s much more than just a symbol that had been lost. It’s actually a phrase, an idea, a [...]
My first ten days with the new cat has been a bumpy ride with a few scratches here and there along the way. I must say I kind of saw it coming when I was greeted by the grumpy face of the feline on the packaging. This, incidentally, draws a stark contrast with the “happy” [...]
When I said “as a corporate customer of Microsoft products, the probability of me installing Windows 7 on a physical machine any time soon is infinitesimally small” less than a week ago, I spoke too soon. That’s because, err, I am now running Windows 7 on my ThinkPad T61 laptop at work. This is my [...]
Is the time for biscuit, I mean, time for a new shiny netbook finally upon us? September and October will be new operating systems galore with the debut of Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, and Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. It seems mass shrink-wrapping has already begun on all three of them. I [...]
