Get your own @Hotmail.sg

Windows Live announced few days back that it will expand its domain for Hotmail, allowing users to sign-in to their e-mail, instant messenger and other Windows Live services using country-specific domain names.

So why settle for johnlimboseng69@hotmail.com when you can get johnlimboseng@hotmail.sg? :D

Get yours here!

Apple iPad

The perfect toilet companion, the next time you’re planning to spend a considerable time on the shitter, you don’t have to decide whether you wanna bring with you your latest Adrian Mole novel, the Straits Times or your PSP/Gameboy/iTouch (what’s everyone calling their iPod Touch).

Just so happens someone’s birthday is coming soon… ;)

StarHub, SingTel, M1 iPhone Price Comparison

Should yours truly get the ubiquitous iPhone 3GS now or wait for the Google phone (Nexus One)’s quirks to iron themselves out? :o

Shortest URL Ever [http://to./]

Shortest URL Ever

I’m not shitting you but this is hands down the shortest URL for an URL shortening service I’ve ever seen [e.g. redirection to this post http://to./xexyc].

And no, I don’t have any idea how it works but I’m guessing it’s probably some DNS tweaking trick implemented by the .to registry, Tonic (Tonga Network Information Center).

Social Isolation

Social Isolation

Total and complete myth;

“Social media activities are associated with several beneficial social activities, including having discussion networks that are more likely to contain people from different backgrounds. For instance, frequent internet users, and those who maintain a blog are much more likely to confide in someone who is of another race. Those who share photos online are more likely to report that they discuss important matters with someone who is a member of another political party.”

So parents, next time you ask your kids to go out and meet real friends instead of spending all their time Facebooking, playing Farmville, Happy Aquarium and the likes, think again.

Google Wave Invitation

Google Wave Invitation

If you’ve enjoyed reading my blog and you happen to have a spare, unused invitation lying around, please send them along to yours truely and I’ll be eternally grateful. By eternally grateful I mean I’ll be giving out any invitation I may receive to anyone who asks here (if that’s how Google Wave invitation system rolls).

Addendum: Please don’t spam my inbox or comments with requests for any Google Wave invitation (especially you Google Wave invitation collector groups). Until I update in my post, you can safely assume yours truly have yet to get his own Google Wave invitation.

Addendum 2: Still trying to figure out Google Wave!

Facebook’s Farmville is awesome

Farmville

The person is either the biggest Farmville fan ever or he just has too much time in his hands.
