I think I lost a few posts due to some inconsistencies with the Tumblr interface. Posts which had been published already are seen to be stuck in the queue. I deleted one of them from the queue and the published post went with it too…

Flood Lite: Apple's Attention to Detail →
In July 2002, Appled filed a patent for a “Breathing Status LED Indicator” (No. US 6,658,577 B2). They described it as a “blinking effect of the sleep-mode indicator in accordance with the present invention mimics the rhythm of breathing which is psychologically appealing.” The average…

Motorola's Android 2.2 Rollout: What a Mess →
This is what I mean when I say that Android doesn’t have a platform roll-out / upgrade strategy. This, I suspect, will be the downfall of Android.

Another review on Mobile Flash Player 10.1 on Android 2.2. Nothing has changed, nothing has improved; mobile Flash is still as bad as ever.

Villa Bali
This is an extremely beautiful place if ambience is part of your dining experience. Bali and holiday-like, filled with greenery and flavour. They have discounts on Sunday and Monday nights and they serve alcohol should you wish to drink. The best deals are still the platters for 2 and they come in various styles. Read the menu carefully for the contents of the platters for the right choice.

Circus Ponies NoteBook →
As I begin my higher education, many have asked what software I use on my Mac to organise or to take down notes during and after lessons.
This, Circus Ponies’s NoteBook, is my answer. Thumb through the help file to see what it can do. It is very powerful I assure you, very well worth the US$29.95.
Mac OS X only I must add.

Question for the Day — Restaurant Responsibilities
Is it the responsibility of the restaurant to ensure that the correct order from a customer is served to him?
To provide more context for this question, here’s the background.
Let’s say you are at a ‘fast-food’ restaurant that has an order counter and a ‘food-collection’ counter. Orders and monetary transactions are made at the order counter and the customer...

With a Pinch of Salt
To start the ball rolling, I shall write about my favourite Lunch hang out. It’s amusingly named, With a Pinch of Salt, situated along Tanjong Katong Road.
The highlights of this cosy eatery is its delicious and affordable set-lunches. With no GST and service charges to load the bill, you pay only what’s written on the menu, which ranges from $8.90 to $12.90. The set-lunch comes...

Yum Yum Food
I’ve been pondering for quite some time that my eating cum exploration experiences have been left undocumented, depriving the Internet from a small part of my food experience. I can’t say that I don’t eat out often, nor do I rarely try out new eating establishments, but of the few I’ve been to based on recommendations from other food blogs, I’m sorely disappointed.
