65Bits #180: We Love To Queue

Justin Lee — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 05:02:40 +0000

We are skipping a few episodes to catch up with our regular episode releases, so bear with us until our little hamster has caught up. On the mobile front for this week (Week of 31st July or 1st August), we talk about the new HTC Sense that HTC Desire will be getting soon with the Froyo update, as well as HP (after being a huge Windows supporter) will not make any Windows Phone 7 devices. Furthermore, Apple is patenting their mobile apps ideas. Being Singaporeans, we love to queue. Tech65 covered 2 launches, the Starcraft 2 launch and the iPhone 4 launch. We talk about these launches, and some information regarding the products themselves.

65Bits #176: For the 1.33 Billion listeners

dk — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 07:59:47 +0000

Another one of those delayed posting. The hamster is still trying to catch up with those production. Anyway, on that interesting week, the crew discuss about the HP Print Apps and ePrint which was announced in Hong Kong. Google is rumored to release a social networking site to rival Facebook. Well, its still rumor but we are praying hard that it’s for real. .xxx top level domain is finally accepted by ICANN and everyone is talking about it.

Did anyone notice that ICANN also approved Chinese alphabet domain name? Hmmm…… not many. So this one is for the 1.33 Billion people out there.

Simply Geek #11.2 – Travelling Geeks (Part 2)

NTT — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 00:00:51 +0000

As the summer starts to show signs of ending, (at least in the northern hemisphere), many of us are back from holiday vacations. So we gather up a group of geeks who love to travel. Our good friend Preetam Rai, who loves to travel in East Asia; Inder Sen, a traveler who’s recently done a awesome hitchhiking trip in India at a almost impossible budget; and our very own Farinelli to talk about how they continue to be geeky while they travel and experience new people, places and situations. What tools, tricks and tips they use on the road.

This discussion is split into two episodes. This is part 2, and starts half-way through the discussion. You can check out the part 1 of discussion on the previous Episode of Simply Geek.

Live Special: iPhone 4 Singapore Launch FAQs with iMerlion.com

Daniel — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 15:47:38 +0000

Last night the Tech65 Crew and iMerlion.com came together and discussed some information that Singaporeans who are looking into purchasing the iPhone 4 tomorrow evening might be interested to know. We also tackled some frequently asked questions that were posed at the iMerlion iPhone 4 spreadsheet.

Special thanks to Jimmy Yap, editor at iMerlion.com, for his time and insight in this episode!

Fresh #0.5 Beta – Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, X10 Mini, X10 Mini Pro, X8

Daniel — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 07:42:51 +0000

This is Fresh, the show where you get the freshest take on gadgets in Singapore! While Gear65 lets you have a close look at gadgets you love to play with, Fresh gives you our take on the experience the gadgets have given us so far.

In our first episode, we talk about Sony Ericsson’s latest line-up of smartphones, and their first attempt into the Android space.

Just like Simply Geek, do give us your feedback. For a start we are aware of 2 issues: the length (as usual) and the Skype audio quality. We aim to solve these two together, as the audio quality goes down with time (we blame Starhub for that, which has given us problems with Skype consistently). Our target is to keep the show less than 20 minutes, and based on this show, which tackled 4 gadgets, we think it is possible if we don’t talk about more than 1 gadget per episode. This would also make each episode more focused as well.

But do send us your feedback. Fresh at Tech65 dot org is the show’s dedicated email address.

Enjoy!

- Daniel, Farinelli, Justin Lee
