What would you do if you had $80,000 cash? Buy yourself an expensive gift? Bring your family on a holiday?

Well, it seems that’s what the top prize winner of McDonald’s Monopoly game plans to be doing. Mr Sankararama Subramaniam was awarded the $80,000 top prize last…
You don’t have to go over to Sentosa for the famed foam party at Cafe del Mar. There’s one happening right here in the mainland too, right in the heart of town. Well, almost. It’s just outside the main downtown shopping belt. It happens in front of Tanglin Mall, at the junction of Tanglin Road and Grange Road. This is a family-friendly foam party, of course. Completely unlike the one at the (more or less) southern tip of continental Asia.
WordPress never ceases to fascinate me. With each version upgrade, it gets so much better, it makes blogging so fun all over again. Sure, once in a while, I’m disagreeable with a couple of changes.

I’m not surprised that Apple’s iOS lost to Android in sales units (17.3M vs 60.5M units), but very interestingly, it also lost to Nokia’s Symbian OS (19.5M). This is for Q3 2011. Okay, I know many people were holding off their iPhone purchase in anticipation of the iPhone 4S release (or they thought, the iPhone 5). But still, it looks like Symbian isn’t sinking all that fast.

Engadget reports that Apple’s attempts to block the Samsung Galaxy tablet and phone sales in the US has been blocked. However, they were more successful in Australia, having obtained a one-week extension to the ban on the Samsung Galaxy Tab that was just about to be lifted.
There’s nothing not to like about Fiio’s newly launched E10 DAC/amplifier. It joins Fiio’s line of many other DAC and amplifier products that are relatively cheap yet sporting good quality construction and sound quality.

Sometimes I think my two babies must be the cutest and most charming babies around. When we take them out shopping, they get offered free popcorn, free kuehs, free raisins, free specials that aren’t even on the menu, free this and that.
