Touching speech on life & death by Steve Jobs

Everyone knows Steve Jobs is one of the world’s most gifted persons, not just in product design or marketing, but also in his presentation skills. Just recently, I was able to watch a speech he gave several years ago and it is extremely motivational and inspires everyone to excel and succeed in life. Do spend 15 minutes of your life on this as it is one of those videos worth watching. The best quote from the video is: “Remember to … Continue reading

Standard medicine for traveling

When I travel, I always ensure my first aid kit is packed into my bags. It pays to be prepared, as you’ll never know when a headache will rear it’s evil head (hmm… is that a pun?), diarrhoea may strike, or you may accidentally cut yourself. So, the question is… what should you pack into a first aid kit? You don’t want to pack every type of medication, crutches and a wheelchair – so, what are the essentials? Feel free … Continue reading

Registering your business (sole proprietorship & partnership) in Malaysia

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

Hidden fees for Firefly mobile bookings

The offering seemed simple, and being an explorer, I was convinced enough to give it a spin. Little did I know, I was going to be in for a surprise! Convenience my foot! More like conveniently hidden fees! It reminds me of the time I blogged about Tiger Airways trying to hide certain fees too – read about it here. With my iPhone, I logged onto m.fireflyz.com.my and was promptly redirected to flyfirefly.mobi. Everything seemed easy enough – aside from … Continue reading

The future of mankind lies in glass!

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!

The 7 types of iPhone owners

I saw this infographic and knew it had to be shared with you. It’s hilarious and probably very, very true. I shudder to share which character I am, lest I be construed as being a weirdo, hacker, nazi. Which are you? Source: submitinfographics.com

WhatsApp releases new group chat feature

It’s about time… PingChat! has had the ability to form chat rooms for quite awhile now, rather like how the native BlackBerry users do, and it is finally being introduced in the extremely popular cross-platform messaging app, WhatsApp. Download version 2.6.1 and you’ll have the added functionality right away. It’s probably still in the test phase, as we can seemingly only have a total of 6 people in a WhatsApp group, whereas I have never hit the limit in PingChat! … Continue reading

Travel entertainment on mobile devices

We travel a lot these days, whether by plane, bus or train and it can get rather boring at times, if we’re not prepared for the long journey. I like to stock up on movies or TV series and transfer them to my iPad / iPhone to watch while on the go. In order to save time transcoding your movie files, get an app like CineXplayer, OPlayer HD or yxplayer. They play most video files natively, thereby saving you a … Continue reading

Mobile Internet on the highway

It’s Chinese New Year and I’m currently enroute from my home in Kuala Lumpur to my wife’s state – historical Malacca. She’s driving currently as I’m “unwell”, what with an annoying flu. Anyhow, I decided to try out the YES dongle that I was given during their launch and see how it fares while on the go. Thus far, it’s been a pretty amazing ride and I’m about to unleash this blog post while traveling at 110km/h while dodging accident … Continue reading
