Android is now the new Apple
Life, James Hein, Published on 10/09/2025
» Some may be wondering why have I used an Android phone up to now compared to, say, Apple iPhone? In the beginning, it was for the following four reasons -- a headphone jack, a removable battery, the ability to insert an SD card for storage and the ability to load a program into the computer. That last part may sound a little strange but a 12GB device with 1TB of storage and a graphics unit built in is a computer now. The "program" loading here means you can put your own operating system on the device and install applications, bypassing the Play Store. So where are we now? No headphone jack, no SSD support, no removable battery and based on a recent announcement, no ability to "side-load" programs any more. In other words, Google phones have now or will soon be turned into iPhones.

Beware the AI bots
Life, James Hein, Published on 04/06/2025
» I recently joined a Facebook group that supposedly represented Kat Timpf, a regular presenter on the Gutfeld! show. I posted a couple of comments and a couple of weeks later, I received a tag in social media purportedly from Dana Perino, a regular on the Fox show The Five. Initially this was a surprise. Why would a famous TV star want to chat with me? After a few chats, it became obvious something was off. The tag name in Messenger was just Dana Perino but the conversation had a few structural errors, not something a former press secretary would make.
Mind over malady
Life, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 20/01/2025
» Ponn Virulrak, a successful architect, academic, and chairman of Light Up Total Solution, discovered his love for running in his 40s and embarked on this path of passion with full determination. This passion, however, diverged from what he refers to as "a source of joy" to a spiritually transformative experience after an excruciating knee injury. Through the turbulence, turmoil and trauma of going from being active to being home-confined by his inability to walk well, he began exploring mindfulness as a way to cope with his new reality. After years of using mindfulness techniques to pull him from his "downward spiral", he wrote How To Be Sick Mindfully, a book illustrating his journey and 21 actionable tools to get through a chronic illness without anxiety, depression, or trauma.
