» It may seem like Microsoft-bashing that I'm picking on the pitiful giant for the second week in a row, but it's a coincidence. That said, the Microsoft Windows way of viewing and managing fonts is messier and less informative than the male method of managing his sock drawer.

Database, James Hein, Published on 21/07/2010
» Internet control around the world seems to be settling out into a number of different camps. On the one hand there are the open Internet societies such as you might find in places like the United States. Next are those places that specifically restrict subject matter on a case by case basis if it causes some offence, like Qatar, Pakistan and Bangladesh. At the bottom of the stack or the restrictive nations that actively censor all manner of sources, like you may find in places like China and North Korea. Places like Thailand are not as free as the US but nowhere near as restrictive as China.

B Magazine, Andrew Biggs, Published on 11/07/2010
» Conventional wisdom has it that a blink of an eye lasts 400 milliseconds. For me, it is more like three months. That’s how I feel as I pack my two meagre suitcases to leave the bustling, crazy world of Los Angeles for the bustling, crazy world of Bangkok.

I don't go around advertising this fact; the last time I casually mentioned it was in Sydney trying to find a way to get from Bondi to the casino.

Google dumps Windows
Database, Published on 09/06/2010
» Google said it was dumping Microsoft Windows on all its computers in the company, and switching to Apple and Linux, simply because Windows was not secure; the switch came specifically because Chinese hackers broke into Google machines, and only special employees with particular needs will be allowed to use Windows; otherwise they are stuck with Apple or Linux operating systems. Retail website Taobao of China and Yahoo Japan signed a deal to launch the world's biggest online marketplace - take that, eBay; online stores in the new venture will allow consumers in both countries to buy each other's goods using already familiar systems and procedures; eBay has 90 million active users who dealt $60 billion (.1.95 trillion baht) in goods last year; that will be dwarfed by 450 million users in the new Asian market.
