In mid 2013, I got to know about this amazing, futuristic, gadget. It’s a medical scanner that scans your vital signs, including pulse rate, blood pressure and blood oxygen levels, then wirelessly transmits them to a smartphone. It almost sounds unreal, futuristic, like the medical tricorder gadget from Star Trek. It’s called the Scanadu Scout. To be honest, I was skeptical….
Over a decade ago, I downgraded my camera. I had begun to use point-and-shoots and mobile phone cameras. I figured the best camera is the one that is with me when I need it. A few years ago, I upgraded to the Sony RX100. This year, I’ve come one full circle, and now use a biggish camera again, the Sony A6000….

But since word has come out about how Lenovo preloads what amounts to very bad spyware on their PCs, I thought I should also just go right ahead to spill the beans on the Mac. Yes, that’s right.

The Logitech K830 is one of those keyboards that fill this need for a…
Disassembling a Retina MacBook Pro is easy, just as long as you have the right tools. Apple’s hardware haven’t always been the easiest to open up, and in recent years, they’ve also taken to use somewhat non-standard screws. So what if you need or want to open the bottom cover of your Retina MacBook Pro? We’ll, there’s a screwdriver for that,…
I recently reviewed the ASUS PadFone S. It’s a pretty good smartphone on its own, sporting premium specifications at very reasonable price. The highlight of the PadFone S, of course, is its ability to dock into the PadFone S Station, turning the duo into a full-fledged tablet device. We’ll look at this ASUS PadFone S Station in this review. To…
A few nights ago, I had a dined at a Bangkok Jam outlet for the first time. They have a couple of outlets around Singapore, and I regularly walk pass the one at United Square, often attracted to the desserts on the menu. The children, on the other hand, were more attracted to their kids area within the restaurant. They…
The ASUS PadFone S looks like a pretty ordinary smartphone on the surface. It looks good, though not outstanding. It’s specs under the hood are on par with that you’d expect in a premium phone. It’s reasonably cheap too! But the PadFone S does have more tricks up its sleeve that will help it stand out from other flagship smartphones. First…
