It is strange how some things that you kept for years become items with historical significance. My wife found this classic Apple logo in her box of memories. To have a classic logo in one's hand is like holding on to a piece of computing history. Seeing where Apple is now and also the fact that the Mac has replaced the original Apple line, I can only say "wow" to how far tech has brought us.
Caught this interesting image this morning. The sun was shining into the dinning room and cast an interesting image onto one of the chairs.
...games are not a waste of time-nor are they only for children.Something that I've known to be true for a long, long time.
Not everyone can attend all the rallies. Not every rally is televised or covered. Hence the purpose of this blog.
If you attend a rally, any party's ally, and record it as video or as audio, digitize it, and upload it to Google Video, then send us the link. We will post the links to the recordings so that all Singaporeans can watch and listen to the speeches for themselves. Please record the rally speeches without commentary.

What kind of company will Google become in the coming decades? Will it succumb to hubris and flame out like so many of its predecessors? Or will it grow into an omnipresent, omnipotent force--not just on Wall Street or the Web, but in society? We put the question to scientists, consultants, former Google employees, and tech visionaries like Ray Kurzweil and Stephen Wolfram. They responded with well-argued, richly detailed, and sometimes scary visions of a Google future.
In the last year, a lot has been said about videogame journalism and the problems of the field. There is a belief that gaming reviewers play into the hands of the marketing machine instead of being actual critics who can help to improve the quality of the content such as is the case with the film and music industry. One fundamental problem is that reviewers never get the chance to experience the game the same way you do.A good read.
...a story that will eventually be an education in charity, compassion and chivalry, and about the impact of non-violence and how that can bring about greater impact than violent aggression itself. In this opening story in the form of a short film, 2 monks in a distant planet wanted to warn of an imminent danger in a galactic temple, but were turned away. The younger monk turned to evil, but was ultimately brought back to the good side by the master. In between, the story told of how the master found the apprentice as a rogue trader, and subsequently trained him in the ways of defense and meditation.Although there's no explicit mention that this is a Star Wars fan film, there is some similarity to the Jedi philosophy in the short. Go watch it, if only for curiosity sake.
The RIAA may be winning over the courts and legislators, yet these victories are proving hollow. Their courtroom and legislative successes are yielding little in the way of tangible benefits as the P2P population continues to grow. If there's one message associated with the continued growth of file-sharing, it's that people continue to want unencumbered (DRM–free) access to music. Many have argued that Napster and Rhapsody, and to a lesser extent, iTunes, simply do not provide that.
It’s interesting to note the file-sharing population is continuing to march forward despite the rapid decline of the FastTrack network. As corrupted files and lawsuits continue to plague this network, the P2P population has grown aware of these concerns and taken refuge in a multitude of other communities. Smaller private networks, eDonkey2000, Gnutella, BitTorrent and Ares Galaxy have all benefited from FastTrack’s decline.
We hope to mobilize the online Mash-Up community by organizing a simple one-day organized event. Participants would be asked to post the American Edit album online for 24 hours only starting on Tuesday, December 13, at 12:00AM. Doing so is not intended to be a mass organization of music piracy but, rather, one single display of the consumptive power of the mash-up and home remix community in the hopes of encouraging the labels, publishers and artists who are curious about the mash-up community to consider giving the high quality productions of "illegitimate" music a legitimate consideration as a promotional avenue for all music.
