Re: Google Glass mysteries revealed!

GG's potential is when its used for specific purposes - so it seems its not meant for long periods of wear.
It can come in useful for crime detection ( identifying suspects ),disaster aid and recovery ( earthquakes, typhoons etc ), tourist applications( places, buildings and associating culture and history behind them ) etc etc.Definitely has a lot of potential .

hmm...Dont assume ease of doing business means the climate for making profits is good. Singapore may be 1st on the chart you have depicted but it is fast finding itself in a sticky mess ( http://littlespeck.com/cont...

Re: SingTel’s SMS service disrupted last evening, draws flak

marrett — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 07:15:02 -0000

The article FAILED to highlight a CRITICAL impact SMS has in today's connected world - SMS alerts ( crime alert in Bedok, NEA alerts, website alerts, alerts sets by websites eg ebay auctions etc etc ) AND of course other CRITICAL notifications eg Gmail 2 factor SMS alerts,banking sms alerts etc etc .

And perhaps ,its INTERESTING to note, that Singtel owns the largest software company in Singapore ( NCS ) and that NCS swallowed Singapore Computer Systems ( SCS ) a few years ago so they are a DOMINANT monopoly today.

So much for IT and technology talents and standards in the new Singapore of today.

And again its IDA that comes into focus - or should we say the idiots that run IDA!

Re: Picking the right Windows 8 version and device

Can we purchase Windows 8 upgrade but then install it in a different partition so that it can run together with Windows 7 ? The Windows 8 preview allows it.What about the actual version of Windows 8 UPGRADE that will be released this week ?
