.: The Stupid :. →
I have been reading a lot of funny & humorous posts on mock_the_stupid and I need to address the habit of using the phrase, “The Stupid”. I cannot quite remember if I have been taught that stupid can be used as a verb(used without object) or transitive verb. The stupid act, stupid person or stupid situation sounds more plausible than the stupid. Is this a recent evolution of...

Finally, after 2 months of agonizing if I want to ditch my ThinkPad T42 for another laptop, I managed to revive the trust pad! You see it started 2 months ago when I noticed that the laptop will persist in blanking off & rebooting itself mid-way through whatever I was doing. It got really irritating as I was playing some games and was having an irc chat with some bloke for a possible session...

.: Laptops Made In Singapore: Axioo :. →
Last week, I chanced upon a header on someone’s copy of MyPaper that “Axioo is the the FIRST Made In Singapore laptop”. That got me thinking.

I am not too sure if anyone remembers IPC these days, but IPC then, was a BIG Singapore-based company that...
