Government requests directed to Google and YouTube
http://www.google.com/governmentrequests/
Shocking information I will say.
Note 1 request can be made for multiple accounts. Just imagine how many could have been checked.

Omnia II screen resolution
Just a reminder blog to myself that Omnia II resolution is 480 x 800 pixels in case I need it =)
Volcano eruption under the Ejfjallajokull Glacier
While we are worried about the effects of the ash cloud etc, look at the amount of CO2 footprint eliminated. This is like a big Earth Hour on a truly planet scale.

Poly vs JC for entry to local Universities
A great comment on the Poly vs JC on entry to local Universities.
Credits to the poster and this is a very good piece, a big wake up call to all.
Polytechnic graduates cannot have it both ways, do they want a Diploma or a Degree? If the latter, they need to know that the government needs to spend more money to train a polytechnic graduate than a JC student, as the former graduates with a vocational skill, but the latter does not. So they cannot expect a second bite of the cherry at the same priority level for university admission of JC students who finish their JC studies with nothing other than a GCE "A" Level Certificate.
Polytechnics pride their training as being more "hands on". JC prepares a student with more in-depth grounding in the core subjects to prepare them for university. For JC students, university is and has always been their final destination from the point they decided to take the JC route. For polytechnic students, their endpoint (at least in Singapore) should be getting their Diploma. If they want to go beyond that in Singapore, they should choose the JC route. If they could not qualify for the JC route, it is not the government's fault. They only have themselves to blame. However, nothing is to stop them from pursuing their dreams overseas, but they cannot expect to be given greater access to the local universities on the ground of it being more costly for them to go overseas.
A place at a good local university is a limited resource and like all limited resources, they should go to the most deserving, in this case, those who have qualified for JC and who have consciously decided to take the JC path to prepare themselves for a university education and not a Diploma. In the past JC education was called "Pre-University" education, and it is precisely that.
So it is time that Polytechnic graduates own up to and accept the implications of their own decisions made when they were at the cross-roads of choosing between polytechnic and JC education, and not continually gripe about this alleged "unfairness" of the system to them.

New version of "MOBTV"
After MOBTV has died off as a subscription based service to watch old serials, variety programmes and even earlier for certain serials (well hardly any ppl subscribe to it unless there is free promo code for free limited subscription), a new website is up~! Now it is all free~!
I have yet to try it but comments are that it is true and free. You can watch recent episodes you have missed etc. Uploads are not that fast but since it is free, you can't hardly complain.
Anyway, it is well advertised after the showing of serials, a subtle url which I think ppl generally will not notice or bother.
You still can to go www.mobtv.sg or http://video.xin.msn.com/browse/tv. You will be re-directed to the latter url anyway.
