    A bite of the Apple

    Database, Published on 21/04/2010

    » Microsoft began peddling the Kin, a smart phone that seems certain to trash the Apple iPhone just like the Microsoft Zune trashed the Apple iPod; it's a social phone, explained Robbie Bach, president of Microsoft's entertainment division, which has a camera and access to music, and who else but Microsoft ever would have thought of that, never mind the slide-out keyboard and touch screen; the Kin, made by Sharp, allows fast sharing of information with contacts in the phone book; critics liked it and Gartner analyst Van Baker called it a "very good entry" in the phone market; it did, however, raise one obvious question: Microsoft has an entertainment division?

    Deserving of top honours

    News, Kong Rithdee, Published on 21/01/2012

    » On screen and in headlines, Iran the provocateur du jour, is causing a stir. As Israel fumes, as Bibi Netanyahu ponders a pre-emptive strike, as the US watches with hawk-eyed severity over Teheran's nuclear ambition, and as an alleged Iran-backed Hezbollah rabble-rouser was arrested in Bangkok and a spectacular arsenal of bomb materials uncovered - as the quivers in Hormuz Strait are felt throughout Earth, an Iranian film cruised past contenders to win the Golden Globe. Worldwide punters now believe A Separation will become the first Iranian title to win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. Never mind the sanctions, an Iran-scripted drama has had Hollywood (and Washington) in thrall. So catch it now: A Separation is showing on one screen in Bangkok, at House RCA (I hope it'll stay there for a few more weeks.) It won't give you a crash course on the latest nuclear grumble; the politics of the film is smaller in scope yet larger in humanity, for it concerns class, marriage, religiosity, and the heart-aching struggle to uphold justice in the court of God and by the rule of law. At the centre, the film is about a separation of a couple, called Nader and Simin, but at heart this is a complex drama of moral quandaries that inflict bourgeoise Teheranians and speak of other kinds of seperation, physical and spiritual, visible and clandestine, in a society heaving with pride, prejudice and doubt. In short, it's closer to home than the belligerent rhetoric of the nuclear war.
