» AIS's new deal is hard to ignore. The service provider is retailing a 5-inch quad-core Android phone for 4,790 baht, with 4,000 baht free talk time. A pretty bold bargain, because it is like getting a phone for 790 baht. But is the phone any good?

» What is the one program you can count on to be in Windows, apart from say Minesweeper? Microsoft Paint. It's the poor man's drawing tool and screen capture tool where it is as simple as Alt-Printscreen, Start-Run MSPaint, CTRL-V, Crop Marquee Select Crop, CTRL-A CTRL-C, Switch to email and CTRL–V to get something from your screen into an email (or anything else).
Alternative social platforms can be expensive

» The alternative social media platform Rumble recently bought out another platform for creators called Locals. Rumble is a YouTube-like platform and Locals is aimed more at the alternative blogging community, including names like Scott Adams and Dan Bongino. I don't think this will be a long-term successful merger for a simple reason, and that is money. To be fair Locals is an alternative to Patreon, a platform that will nuke your account if it doesn't like your politics as evidenced by a long list of conservative commentators being axed without warning.

» Official Windows 10 will be available on July 29, this year. By the time you read this, legal software owners should have received their notification from Microsoft to register for the free upgrade.

» It's been a long time coming, but Mario -- the crimson-clad, mustachioed, Japanese/Nintendo-born Italian plumber -- has finally hopped his way onto smartphones in the form of Super Mario Run, the mushroom-chugging, fireball-flinging coin maniac's debut feature on touch-screen devices. Downloadable for free now on iOS and next year for Android, the game's simplistic touch-based platforming is great, losing none of the precision of control and inventive level design synonymous of Mario games.
