Apple is being sued by iFans
Life, James Hein, Published on 14/01/2015
» Apple is being sued, not really news. Apple being sued by fans, however, is news. The issue is the memory claims for the Apple devices being 8GB, 16GB and so on. The problem is that up to around 23% of the memory can be taken up by the operating system restricting how many media files and applications it can support. iOS 8 takes up quite a bit of memory and will not even fit on some older devices. Not sure the claimants will get away with this one but it does make an interesting point and highlight how bad any iDevice is that does not support plug in memory cards.

At the risk of droning on about UAVs
Life, James Hein, Published on 26/11/2014
» A hot topic at the moment is UAVs, or unmanned aerial vehicles. Not the military drone kind but the one with four or six rotors carrying a camera and flying around the neighbourhood taking photos of video up to 4K resolution. The TV show South Park covered this issue in its own unique way and countries are struggling to cope with the legal ramifications of taking pictures over the backyard fence, through windows, above secluded pools and so on. Even innocent pictures like a real estate agent getting an aerial shot of the property can be an issue as one found out recently when part of the shot had someone sunbathing next door that was missed in the process before the billboard went up.

To our charter drafters, 'we' means them
News, Kong Rithdee, Published on 01/11/2014
» On a radio news show with a pair of boot-licking hosts (no shortage of them), a guest speaker phoned in recently to talk about the future. His future? Mine, yours, ours? Never mind. The guest was one of the oracles to sit on the Charter Drafting Committee (CDC), and he sounded smart, well-meaning, with just a slight hint of the Chosen One's god-given arrogance. Which is the best we can expect from those who are handpicked in dark corridors, plucked like vintage grapes by the generals due to their supposed virtue, intelligence, loyalty, servitude, sycophancy, bloodline — anything except a connection with the Evil One.

Region faces a murky democratic dawn
News, Published on 11/10/2014
» As if it wasn't bad enough that Indonesia's parliament just voted to curtail democracy at the grass roots level, the Indonesian police have banned the democratic right to protest against the move at an international forum on democracy the government is hosting on the island of Bali. That's almost as absurd as the military's insistence in Thailand that it intervened to save democracy.
