WhatsApp has just silently increased the maximum number of people in a group to yourself plus fifteen others. In fact, I didn’t know about it until a friend told me, and I was in disbelief as my iPhone showed I was already at the maximum with 10 other people in the group. Here’s how you can increase your group size. 1. Upgrade WhatsApp to the most current version via the App Store. 2. Open up your group chat and click … Continue reading
Just a few days ago, I blogged about how Facebook is forcing us to switch our Pages to the “new-improved-and-shiny” timeline that will infinitely improve our lives (read here). It actually does mean a lot of change for corporations and brands that use Facebook heavily, as the interface changes radically, the way your apps are laid out and how the user interaction will be, amongst others. Save time, and check out the awesome infographic that Integricity, a full-service interactive agency … Continue reading
DISCLAIMER: Your mileage may vary, and this test illustrates what I encountered as a non-US resident buying a product from the US. When you buy products from international sellers, whether on eBay or other sites, you are posed with an option to choose either: 1. PayPal’s currency conversion process 2. MasterCard and Visa currency conversion process The question I always ask is: which gives me a better rate? I had a hunch that PayPal would try to make some money … Continue reading

In case you don’t know yet, Miss Siri is Apple’s smart artificial intelligence application that let’s you ask voice questions and get voice replies. You can ask for the weather, send text messages, do math calculations, ask for directions (women, you’ll be glad your men now ask!), and a whole lot more. It’s full potential is yet to be known, but some videos have popped up that show you the potential. Siri even has a sense of humour. If you … Continue reading
9 July 2011 – this day will be emblazoned in the minds and hearts of Malaysia for years to come. It’s a sign of protest. A sign of democracy. A sign of change. A sign of oppression. And hopefully, a sign of freedom. Bersih 2.0 is a movement for the people, by the people to fight for reform of the Malaysian electoral process. It is independent of political parties and it strives for fairness. On the media front, it was … Continue reading
Finally, after whetting our appetites for long enough, Apple releases Final Cut Pro X, a revolutionary software tool that will change the face of video editing, but only on Macs. There was much speculation about when it’d be released, knowing that Apple normally runs press releases on Tuesdays, and since they promised it to be in June, it was highly likely to be today, or next week. For long enough, Apple has lagged behind Grass Valley’s Edius offering, or even … Continue reading
As a proponent of social media, we know how important it is to be transparent and to treat everybody with utmost respect. One golden rule that I uphold is, “whether a person is online or face-to-face, treat them the same”. However, we oftentimes witness brands / companies disrespect people online, just because they leave negative comments. It is seemingly too easy to merely hit the delete link and remove the pain. Now that would be the quickest are surest way to … Continue reading
With the advent of the Internet, entrepreneurship in Malaysia has been steadily on the rise – to the extent that some don’t even know, but they are already business owners! Take for instance, the onslaught of girls who sell clothes via their blogs, or those who blog and make money from ads or advertorials – are they not entrepreneurs? Several weeks ago, I accompanied 3 friends who were starting their respective businesses (2 providing IT consulting services, and 1 who … Continue reading
This video is truly amazing, and I bet this will come to fulfillment in my lifetime. I love the ideas behind it and seamlessness, but with so many different vendors pushing their proprietary hardware, it may be quite a tussle to get devices to speak to one another. Am loving how the car is so digital!
Here lie my thoughts: that of an entrepreneur, media-junkie, gadget-junkie, photographer, videographer, once-PC-user-but-now-Mac-user and husband.
