Hi. I checked out the Transmeta website a while ago. Among the webpages, it spoke of how they shifted strategies after market research showed a good demand for mobile chips. Interestingly a picture of a notebook computer was shown and it looked strikingly similar to my beloved Acer Travelmate 330/340 series. I guess Acer may jump aboard the Transmeta bandwagon soon as well. The URL of the picture is http://www.transmeta.com/mobile [JASON@CHAW]
What Excite is doing doesn't worry me a bit. It's a responsibility to provide good / reliable access to sites which pay more. Akamai does it even better. They provides a global array of mirrors and with sophisticated algorithms which does load-balancing well. Of course they concentrates on images, streaming media, etc. However most of our contents are images / streaming media anyway. Again I feel that it is right for Excite to do this and at the end of the day if anyone wants to host a website, they will look for different levels of reliability, speed, costs, etc. [JASON@CHAW]
2 ISPs in Singapore offered freee Internet access since December 1999. It has bought about increased usage and further accelerated the IT savvyness of its people. In addition the whole country is Broadband ready with ready access to ADSL / Cable Modem. [JASON@CHAW]
Slashdot Mirror
Here's the website to a bookseller in Singapore.
They concentrate their offerings to IT/Computer Science related books.
The prices listed on the website are in Singapore dollars, US$1 == S$1.75.
Try searching for your favourite(read expensive) IT/CS book and have a feel of the price disparity.
