Macbook Touch Coming?

With Apple going to release the usual upgrades for their products this coming September, there are many rumours that the new Macbook will not be only an upgrade in specifications. Rather, it will be an overhaul with the introduction of a glass trackpad and other design changes. It is said that the new Macbook will be made out of one piece of aluminum and thinner than the current Macbook and Macbook Pro series. Most websites place the release date during the last week of September. Here’s a video but I doubt Macbook Touch is coming this soon. It will be too much of an overhaul but it’s Apple. If they managed to pull it off, I can see more people jumping onto the Mac wagon with Vista not performing that well.

Fireworks Season

Filed under: Interesting, Muses — Francis Sim at 10:00 pm on Friday, July 11, 2008

Usually, as the National Day approaches (similar to Independence Day of United States), we get the usual fare of fireworks displays during the weekends of August. This year’s schedule is out with a grand finale during the last weekend of August with performances by teams from France and Korea. It will be crowded but the visuals are usually worth the squeezing.

The Singapore ERP Future

Filed under: Interesting, Internet, Muses — Francis Sim at 2:12 pm on Friday, July 11, 2008

My country, Singapore, has a Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) scheme that functions like a toll collection system when vehicles enter designated areas. Over the course of the past few months, we have seen the ERP rates increased and ERP gantries sprouting up here and there. The cost of building each gantry is reported at S$1.5 million, a 50% increase of the previous cost of S$1 million. The ERP scheme was implemented to supposedly regulate traffic along roads with heavy traffic and also to curb car ownership. However, I beg to differ. Here’s some images circulating around the Internet. The watermark reads ‘LemonGraphic.sg’, so kudos to the guys at LemonGraphic.sg. They dipicted the situation quite well.
