Tesla Model S: Gorgeous and Green!

August 22nd, 2009

This car is gorgeous. It’s the Apple of cars. 0-100kph in under 5 seconds! and full charge in under an hour. Destructive technology of the future! Plus, a 300 mile range means I can drive it to work and back for an entire week on ONE charge.

I love that it’s so environmentally friendly yet technologically enabled - Pandora and all. I wonder if we’ll get something like this in Singapore in the next 5 years. Well, for now, I’ll guess I’ll stick to my dingy old diesel van ;)

NUS Rag ‘n’ Flag 09: Alumni Float a waste of money

July 31st, 2009

Rag n Flag used to be about collection of monies for charity. But what is it coming to?

With regard to the Alumni Float, sure, I understand what they’re trying to do - but at what cost? $200 x 70 alumni is a whopping (at least) $14,000 for a FLOAT!

Even if not, there’s no mention of where the excess money is going to. To charity, or to NUS?

I’m definitely not going to give a single cent to this. No do, NUS.

iPhone vulnerability exposed!

July 31st, 2009

I hope they come up with a fix ASAP - it’s quite a serious security flaw!

This vulnerability apparently works by potential hackers sending you a specially coded SMS that gives them control over your phone. You don’t even have to do anything - just receiving the SMS is sufficient!

So if you ever get an SMS in the next few months that consists of a single square character, TURN OFF YOUR PHONE IMMEDIATELY!

Inspiration for furniture - IKEA Hacks

July 23rd, 2009

Came across this website recently thanks to one of Justin’s tweets.

People share their IKEA “creations” and hacks on furniture here, and come to think of it, it’s true. You CAN look at IKEA as a furniture “parts” store since they sell all the parts separately.

I’ll be keeping this one on my RSS. :)

The Pirate Bay - SOLD! for more than SGD$10m

June 30th, 2009

Unbelievable. Is this the end of the fight? It sounds like they are intending to make users pay. I wonder what will come next.

It is a sad day indeed. Or maybe a blessing in disguise?
