High energy in a small space
Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 31/01/2018
» As technology continues to render computer components smaller and smaller, the need to compromise between portability and power is rendered increasingly moot. The 2017 model of the HP Spectre x360 is a paragon of this idea, seamlessly incorporating 4K-capable processing power with a body barely over a kilo in weight. While the review unit I received had some issues maintaining battery life after a while -- no doubt due to the 4K screen -- the overall experience, including the touchpad, keyboard and even the touchscreen-controlled tablet mode are better than any convertible of this size I've ever experienced. It's certainly the most powerful, too.

Moto loses its mojo

» After last year's delightful Moto Z modular phone, one of the more interesting models in its price-range, it's a wonder why Motorola even bothered to release something like the Moto X4 this year. With middling specs across the board and no real notable feature to talk about, the Moto X4 is yet another mid-range Android phone, one among countless thousands already on the market today.

Prioritising human rights
Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 27/11/2017
» What exactly is a human right? The most obvious way to answer that question may be to point toward the 30 Articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). Signed in 1948 and ratified by 48 out of 58 member countries of the UN at the time, the declaration affirms several rights an individual must be afforded as a human being, such as the right to life, opinions and expression, or the right to not be subjected to arbitrary imprisonment or torture.
