fare hike vs better services

After GE, now as expected there will be a fare hike. Right now, the people are make louder noise. They are showing their unhappiness, like how they voted in the opposition into parliment. The people's question is how could fare increase when there is no improvement in transportation? The most obvious is the packed buses and trains. It seems the increase in the number of buses and trains doesn't solve the problem, or did the transport operator increase enough? From the other point of view, you need increament to substain the service provided. If that is the case, the service provided is not a good service. Maybe the gov should start letting a third or forth operator to comes in. There used to have private buses plying the routes but there isn't any now. With more operators, people will have more choices and select the service that best suit their needs. It will also spread out the crowds to other buses.

sushi covers for iphone

Iphone covers are supposed to protect out precious iphone from scratches and dirt. While some may have nice designs and patterns, they are all flat. Here the Japanese are making some sushi iphone covers! So how is it interesting? We want our phone to be small yet using these covers will make our phone thick and bulgie! I definitely won't get such covers.

George Lucas lost court case

George Lucas lost in the English courts against his designer of the Stormtrooper costume. The Designer is now making his designs for other parts of the world market except the US. Mr Lucas should instead go for a win win situation by giving out license so that everyone gets to earn something. Somehow I doubt he needs the money but when it is going against someone who works on the design or the costumes they is no denying to give credits.

Time Travel claimed to be impossible

Scienctists claims that time travel is impossible. This is only a small group say it is impossible just because they could not do it. The possibility is still there, locked up in Pandora's Box..... If someone could do it, like all science fiction movies, it would wreck the timeline affecting the present and future. The question, do anyone wants to do it?

Justice served to PRC who wants to be funny at the wrong place

What is it that the Chinese from China get more news around? And it would usually be negative news. The latest involves this undergrad poking fun at Singaporeans. Didn't he knows the basic manner of respecting the host? He is not in China. He is merely studying at another country. Making fun at the host and doesn't mean it, is a bad mistake. He got expelled, no refund and was asked to leave the country. Sound like Justice was served raw. Your joke simply "attacked" many who doesn't get the joke of it, is it is a joke. Hopefully you do not represent your country men. If more of your kind start to bash, at least do it at your own homeland.

Internet can mind wipe? What about books?

Using Googles could wipe your memory. Actually it doesn't just mean googles but overall anything internet. Perhaps it would include those encyclopedias as well. The point here is that the news article suggest that, since we know that the informations are available online, we would not bother to remember the informations in our brain. So wouldn't it be the same as we know the informations be in the books? Maybe there are some truth in it. It is all up to ourselves to move our body parts, including the brain.

Other's mistake could be your unlucky day

Sometimes one person's laziness or mistake could be another person's trouble. Went to library to borrow a DVD. Somehow the DVD was cracked. So the librarian missed it. Carelessness or mistake? Since the box was sealed it would be the librarian's duty to ensure the disc is working. Well, when I took it, I made the mistake of not informing the library of the crack. So when I return it became my problem when they claimed that I broke it. They need a better system to ensure the correct person gets the penalty of the damage. Maybe it was me being unlucky.

Another rude "babe"

Why do they behaves like a loser? Another one I met decide that to ignore is the best way. So are they all friends or did they get their ignoring ideas from the same place? They just act the same rude ways. Guess because they are singaporeans and ignoring is the best way. At least reply with something like it's over. Considered they are dumped. Looks like these kind of people are many since I met so many.

Myspace changed ownership again, for better or worse?

Myspace changed ownership again. During the early days before facebook it was the king in social networking. Now it just became is some information overload site. Will the change in ownership works? It will depend on how the designs will be and the contents available. One advantage they have now is that Justin Timberlake is one of the owner. His name could bring in some or more users. However names are only a draw, they will need to keep the users with a proper contents and usability. Friendster is also revamping while Google is out with Google Plus. So much for user to choose, it will be how user friendly the sites will be.
