» We're all familiar with the saying "Don't judge a book by its cover", i.e. don't judge people by their appearances. Well, we totally agree. It's 2017, so judge them by their phones instead!
Apple mania!
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 29/11/2019
» Apple recently released a number of new devices. The most lauded and advertised release may arguably be the latest iteration of its smartphone, the iPhone 11, but it's also got a few other devices that may have slipped under your radar. Thinking of getting one as a Christmas present but unsure whether it's worth your hard-earned cash? We've got a cheat sheet for you.

» We are a few weeks into 2022 and I suspect many of us are still trying to grapple with the events of 2021. Heck, some of us may still be dealing with 2020! Time, however, waits for no one. We’re almost to the halfway mark of January (gasp) so we need to prepare ourselves for the rest of the months to come and if you don’t know where to start, Guru has you covered. From fun games that chillax you to getting the living daylights scared out of you to apps that could help your productivity, your health and even your love life, here are a few things to help you get on track.
One of a kind

» Samsung has marketed the Galaxy Z Fold2 as the "shape of the future". It's definitely unlike most smartphones out there and this includes Samsung's own line-up. However, is it truly a smartphone that's paving the way for a brand new generation of smartphones or is it simply a phone that's relying heavily on its uniqueness?
Beauty but a beast

» Smartphones are now the bane of our existence. We can't go anywhere or do anything without it, and most of us probably start wheezing and choking the minute our phones run out of juice or we realise we forgot it at home -- or worse yet, forgot it somewhere we don't remember. Our need for smartphones is evident in the fact that there is a plethora of smartphones to choose from and the endless stream of new models coming out. And into this stream comes Samsung's Galaxy Note 10+, their latest top-tier model which boasts high specs, high performance and a sleek, elegant design that's a total eye-candy. But new releases are nothing new, and with the lack of innovation smartphones are being plagued with nowadays, is the Galaxy Note 10+ any different?
The Thailand Files

» Everyone loves a good conspiracy. There's something deliciously entertaining about the possibility that something could be true and we could spend hours and hours just reading and watching documentaries about the numerous conspiracies out there. Of course, there are others who are at the far, far end of the spectrum, who believe all conspiracies and consider themselves "truthers". Get stuck in a room or a car with these guys and they'll go on and on about how mobile phones are brainwashing you, the CIA knows your every move and how the Illuminati controls the world. Of course, there are also those simply want to have harmless fun like, you know, the nearly 2 million people, as of the writing of this article, who want to storm a certain top secret US government facility on Sept 20, as well as the lesser popular plan to storm Bangkok's Democracy Monument, which would have passed by the time this is published and will most likely involve less aliens. Nevertheless, don't think for one second that Thailand is spared from conspiracies! We've got a few right here. Remember, as a great TV show once said, "The truth is out there".
The galaxy could be yours

» Samsung, the world's number one smartphone distributor, has yet again expanded its choices for its consumers with the release of the Galaxy S10+ and the Galaxy A50. Released as their new top and mid-tier models respectively, Samsung is keen on keeping its market dominance as well as enticing smartphone buyers -- and perhaps even converting those loyal to other brands -- to give them a try. But will these two new phones compel customers to dish out the cash?
Clasically new

» Remember Nokia, the original sleek, cool and virtually indestructible mobile phone? The company that ruled the mobile phone industry in its heyday and gave us the game Snake right in the palm of our hands and also that memorable ringtone? For years after the smartphone came to being, Nokia disappeared from the radar. Now, they're making a comeback. The Nokia 8 is their most advanced model and though it may not match up with the likes of the latest releases of Apple and Samsung, it's a worthy and cheaper alternative.
