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
Just today, I logged into Facebook to check on a page that I manage for the Damansara Utama Methodist Church (DUMC) in Malaysia, and was presented with the notice that all Facebook Pages would get a new design as of 30 March 2012. Sigh, Facebook is FORCING us to make a change again. I was curious to see what it would look like and how it would affect us. Clicking on Preview, brought me to the all-too-familiar Timeline view that … Continue reading
Well, Apple’s launched the iPhone 4S and Siri seems to have some wisecracks to share with the world. Perhaps it contains traces of Steve Jobs’ humour that will live on beyond his days. An interesting site has already sprung up, called Shit That Siri Says. It’s quite funny, really. Here are a few that I really like.
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
Just 2 days ago, a colleague of mine casually mentioned that emails from a particular client ALWAYS end up in spam, causing havoc. This can have HUGE repercussions on us, as my company, Integricity, an Interactive agency, always prides ourself to be fanatically responsive. Unwanted scenario – on a Friday evening at 5pm, just before going partying: “Hello vendor, have you worked on my email yet?” “Huh? Your email? I haven’t received it” “What? I sent it out 4 hours ago! … Continue reading
When traveling, it is always good to know everything about the power plugs used in the destination countries. You will need to know the type of socket and voltage used there, then compare it against your own devices. Not every country uses the same voltage as your home country, and while traveling in the Philippines recently, I was even presented with a home that used BOTH 110V and 220V. Now that’s bizarre. To check the compatible voltage of your devices, … Continue reading
Over the last two days, I’ve been receiving many Twitter DMs that really pique your interest. After all, if someone says, “Someone said this real bad thing about you in a blog”, wouldn’t you want to see what it is all about? But, when 20 people say the same thing, you start to smell a dead rat… one that has decomposed for 2 months! To fuel my research (and quench for knowledge), I clicked on it from a secure environment … Continue reading
Despite the negative reviews, I decided to stick with Apple and know they can only improve their products from hereon. I clicked the “BUY” button in the Mac App Store and spent $299.99 on Final Cut Pro X, heralded by Apple as the next generation of video editing. Within a day, I discovered it’s tough to make the transition if you’re well-versed with the older suites. The timeline is vastly different, and audio+video seem to be linked very tightly. It’ll … 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
Here lie my thoughts: that of an entrepreneur, media-junkie, gadget-junkie, photographer, videographer, once-PC-user-but-now-Mac-user and husband.
