RIP Steve Jobs (1955 – 2011)
The world lost one of it’s brightest visionary and creative genius, leaving behind a brand that only he could have built. He battled pancreatic cancer for seven years and finally succumbed, his death announced to the world just days after the unveiling of the iPhone 4s. He is 56 this year.
If you would like to share your thoughts, memories, and condolences, please email rememberingsteve@apple.com. Here’s a video of his 2005 Stanford Commencement Address. Inspirational speech to inspire the young.
Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish.
Galaxy Tab 10.1 Sneak Peek
Recently, Samsung Malaysia Electronics (SME) invited some of us to their office for a sneak peek at the new yet-to-be-launch Galaxy Tab 10.1. 2 things to note here before we continue though is that the Launch Date and the Price (sub RM2,000 was the clue) of the Tab is not given so it’s just a guessing game as to when it’ll be launched and how much it’ll be sold for. One thing for sure is they will be working closely with Celcom to sell this new device.
Our guess is it’s going to be in the 2nd week of August so for the techies out there wanting to get your hands on the new Tab 10.1, get your wallet ready as it’s going to be a mad mad rush for it. One thing that Samsung did assure us is that there will be enough stocks for the devices so have no fear! (more…)
Hennessy Artistry 2011 – Are You Ready?

The 2011 edition is starting soon and the first one is gonna be at Voodoo @ Upper Penang Road on the 28th of April and at Opera @ Sunway Pyramid on the 30th April. Wonder if I’d get the chance to go for both but then that’s just asking too much right?
Do you remember the last big one that was held at MINE’s Convention Centre? Did you enjoy yourself in that one? I wonder if this year’s going to be an explosive one to top all those that happened in 2010. A little bottle of Hennessy whispered to me over the weekend and said that this year’s going to be much more fun, with a brand new logo, a new Facebook page and a new interactive Hennessy Mixing Zone, it’s going to be fun fun fun! OK Fine, I admit it, more Drink Drink Drink! (more…)
Apple & Job launched the iPad
After all the hype and the suspense leading up to yesterday night (Malaysia time), Apple finally launched their very own Tablet PC. Aptly named the iPad, it’s what most netizens would call an enlarged version of the iPod Touch/iPhone.
For people like myself who spend a lot of time online using their iPhone, this would be a tempting new ‘toy’ to play with. After all, it comes with a bigger screen meaning you can read/view things without constantly scrolling left and right to read texts on websites. The iPad will also be giving Amazon’s Kindle DX a run for it’s money as the iPad is able to give readers the chance to view materials in full color compared to the Kindle’s non-color, limited function device. The 16GB model is only USD$10 more than the USD$489 kindle too! (more…)
