Attention all Windows XP users! Do not press the F1 button when you encounter a website telling you to press the F1 button. In fact, don’t ever press the F1 button. At least not until Microsoft fix this vulnerability.
Apparently, there is a vulnerability in the way that VBScript interacts with Windows Help files when using [...]

FINALLY! After waiting until my neck long long, Nokia Singapore finally release the V2 firmware for Nokia N97. Or to be exact, version 21.0.045. Seems like we skipped 20.0.019.

The biggest change for the new firmware is the kinetic scrolling. You can now scroll smoothly by flicking anywhere on the screen. No more dragging the tiny [...]

Saw this interesting chart on facebook about why people pirate DVD.

I must say that it brought up an interesting and valid point. It’s like DRM music. Why punish the paying customers?

This is perhaps the first time that a government agency advice people not to use Microsoft Internet Explorer. And we are talking about almost all version of IE here. (IE 6 Service Pack 1 on Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 4, and IE 6, IE 7 and IE 8 on supported editions of Windows XP, [...]

Heard some users complaint that the Nexus One has some 3G connectivity issue. Actually I wasn’t surprised at all. Almost all Smartphone (or in this case, Google will say Superphone) have bugs for the first few version. The Nexus One is no exception.
Just got an email from Google Singapore’s PR agency regarding this issue. [...]

This video was from IDA’s IT Master Plan iN2015 website.

Very futuristic. Some of the technology are already available. We just need the implementations. But there are quite a number of technologies that are not invented yet. I don’t think we are able to reach a stage anywhere near that video in the next 5 years. [...]

After more than a year since the Google Street View van was spotted on the streets of Singapore, Google Street View Singapore is finally live. Woohoo!!!
