» Just when Silom looked to be lost to bank headquarters, massage parlours and tourists, Scarlett Wine Bar & Restaurant has popped onto the scene in full bright crimson. It has nothing to do with Miss Johansson, sadly, as she would have had punters drooling all the way to Patpong after the recent photo leak of her bathroom demeanour.

» If 2011 was the year of the tablet, in terms of portable computing, it was also the year of the upgrade for mobile phones. HTC continued its strong march into smartphone territory, with Android still on board, giving their popular Sensation phone a bump to the XE level with a new music focus.
The year of living technologically
B Magazine, Richard Mcleish, Published on 08/01/2012
» It's been quite the year for technology news, with gadgets, apps and lawsuits stealing the headlines, not to mention the death of the great Apple leader, Steve Jobs.
