Getting creative

» No 1 yuppiephone network Advanced Info Service of Shingapore issued an "Oh yeah?" challenge to you No 1 state-owned G3 provider, TOT, to wit: If you don't let AIS use your 3G services, we won't let any of the TOT subscribers use AIS networks for calling outside the 3G area - meaning about 99.8 percent of Thailand; to rehash the story up to now: AIS has no 3G service but lusts after it, while TOT has installed some 3G carriers for a few thousand users in a couple of corners of Bangkok, and may have some service in Pattaya within a few months, or so.
Padding the facts

» What a difference an "a" makes, announced Apple as it introduced its new iPad (not iPod) tablet; it is the successor to the Apple Newton MessagePad, which went out of production in 1998 after dozens were sold; like the Newton, the iPad will let users write directly on it and save to memory, and cost less than $1,500, or about 50,000 baht in real 2010 money. The Apple iPad tablet (said a writer at Popular Mechanics magazine) might shake up six industries: it could give revenue to newspapers, rebuild comic books because it has colour, make a whole new platform for magazine publishers, revolutionise mobile gaming, kill netbooks for couch surfing, and boost the market for PC parts starting with flash memory.
Dysfunctional campaign
Database, Published on 03/02/2010
» Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva announced that he expects third generation phone service before New Year's Eve; he then announced why there probably won't be any; in a speech to mark the fifth anniversary of the Magnificent Seven National Telecommunications Commission, Mr Abhisit set out the conflicting criteria he expects to see in Asia's last, most dysfunctional 3G campaign: service before the end of the year after fair bandwidth auctions that favour small Thai telecom operators; on one hand, "3G services can no longer be postponed," he insisted, but on the other, the NTC must bias bidding to favour a more competitive structure; the English translation of this speech: DTac of Norway and AIS of Shingapore have way too much market power now and 3G contracts must show that.
The China syndrome

» US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton managed to put down China for big-hack attacks on Google and ruthless censorship, without once mentioning the word "China"; countries restrict the free flow of information, she sang to the choir at the Newseum in Washington, and "co-opted the Internet" to repress religion; a certain country should conduct a thorough investigation of the cyber intrusions against Google, and that certain country should make a public report; nut quote: "New technologies do not take sides in the struggle for freedom and progress, but the United States does."

One heck of a notebook
Database, Pee Kay, Published on 03/02/2010
» My interest in personal computers started almost 30 years ago, during the period of Apple II computer. If you are a creature of that era, you'd know that it's hard to forget Osborne 1, the first portable computer ever introduced by the industry. This marketing and technological marvel, featuring a mere 5-inch display, two floppy-disk drives, a 4 MHz Z80 microprocessor, and 64k of RAM, running on CP/M (a very popular operating system of the time), is a monster compared to today's notebooks. And I mention it because somehow Acer Aspire 5940G, the notebook reviewed today, reminds me of this luggable legend.
