65Bits

Just like 65 is the area code for Singapore, 65 bits is your one stop non stop podcast for weekly tech news and culture, where tech is actually fun. Every week the crew comes together and talks about nothing (well, almost nothing) but technology news! Also, don’t forget to catch the Byte of the week at the end of every episode, where we show off a free web, Mac or PC app that we think you would appreciate!

We promise we will not talk about the Apple iPad. OK, we just broke our promise. How can any tech podcast skip the iPad story? And boy do we have lots to say about the iPad. Apart from iPad, we also pray that the local Twitter trend will come to Singapore and wish that IE6 [...]

The Tech65 crew gathered at Farinelli’s house for this week’s recording. Strangely, there isn’t any 3G or WIFI signal in his room for all our devices except for his. Which is weird because we are using the same Telco. Perhaps there is some jammer in his room.
Oh yes, and Fari really need to take courses [...]
