Warren Buffett has just published his latest annual letter to shareholders. Why should you care, you may ask yourself. After all, you didn’t own and perhaps will never own Berkshire Hathaway stock. At roughly US$200,000 (£144,434; RM842,568) a share, perhaps it’s impossible for you to afford even “one share” of the company. Still, you […]
... written on Feb 29 2016Will the world see technological breakthroughs next year in the consumer products? Sure, there was the fingerprint sensor on iPhone and Android smartphone. But they’re already so yesterday and boring before we unleash fireworks for the New Year celebration. Besides, there’s only so much you can do with the fingerprint recognition. What else could […]
... written on Dec 25 2015Do you remember what you were doing on June 29, 2006? That was close to 10-year ago and you could probably still schooling. But that was when the Federal Reserve pushed the key rate to 5.25%, for a 17th straight time since June 2004, and the last time before they do it again almost 10-year […]
... written on Dec 19 2015We’re not sure if this is just the beginning and there would be further price reduction from TeslaCoil Software. But at RM1 (US$0.23, £0.16) a pop for its highly successful and cool Nova Launcher Prime, you can’t go terribly wrong. After all, with the Malaysian Ringgit going down the toilet bowl, there isn’t much you […]
... written on Dec 09 2015You may give us a big yawn if we were to tell you that Pepsi is launching a new product. After all, you’ve been Coca Cola’s biggest fan after Warren Buffett. But PepsiCo Inc. is not launching another carbonated drink. Pepsi is releasing a smartphone. Yes, it’s so unbelievable because it’s like saying President Obama […]
... written on Oct 13 2015Don’t panic when you see stock ticker symbol “GOOG” has a new owner, Alphabet Inc. instead of the usual Google Inc.

Google, or rather Alphabet has been explaining to all and sundry […]
... written on Oct 08 2015If you’ve been living in a cave the last few days, then you probably haven’t heard about Ahmed Mohamed and his bomb lookalike clock. Some call him the Muslim hero America has been waiting for. Some call him the biggest scammer in the history of America. Nevertheless, #IStandWithAhmed has been the No. 1 trending topic on Twitter. For a moment, […]
... written on Sep 21 2015The first ever mobile phone call was made in 1973 by Motorola’s Martin Cooper. That’s right, before most of you were born to this planet; Motorola had already done the “Connecting People” revolution, which later used as a slogan by Nokia. But the first cell phone wasn’t ready until 1983, when Motorola launched its DynaTAC […]
... written on Aug 14 2015The year 1970 was particularly interesting because it was the year “The Beatles” broke up. It was also the year U.S. President Richard Nixon ordered an invasion of Cambodia, widening the war in Vietman. In the same year, a Palestinian revolt erupted in Jordan, resulting in PLO being expelled from the country by the King […]
... written on Jul 30 2015Xiaomi launches its supposedly iPhone 6 Plus wannabe today. But there’s something missing, as far as Malaysian fans are concerned. There isn’t any “Sold Out in 3 Seconds” announcement on its Facebook anymore. In fact, if you care to go visit their website, the RM1,549 a pop for their latest offering – Mi Note – […]
