I just attended a Microsoft seminar held at NTUC Centre at Marina Bay. They talked about the new Visual Studio 2012 and a bit of Windows 8. Visual Studio 2012 is not just an IDE. It’s an integrated tool that helps you throughout the Application Lifecycle. You can even create storyboard! One of the most interesting things about this product is the Code Analysis, Unit Testing and Load Testing feature. Take a look of their very cool presentation slide.

3D Printing : a new kind of piracy?

I just watched a video on YouTube showing how to physically copy and reproduce a wrench (the tool that is used by plumbers like Super Mario ) by just using a 3D printer.  This paradigm-shifting technology triggered a lot of interest from hobbyist, home makers, and even hackers.  It will enable you to  reproduce anything you want; from bolts and nuts, to chess pieces and toy parts (imagine not having to worry about losing your Lego parts?). In the very near future, this technology, just like our pc, this will be available in each individual's home. This might help speed up our technological innovations and evolution.  Creating prototypes of your inventions can now easily be done at the comfort of your "home lab" a.k.a. garage or basement. While 3D printer in each home looks promising, some people are wary of its effect.  What will happen to our manufacturing industry? Will they still survive if everyone can create their own phone casing or clothes ha

All I wanted was a Black Flickr

Two weeks ago, I created a 500px account.  I felt that this website is the next big thing when it comes to photo sharing. I uploaded some of my old photos and to be honest, I was impressed by its take-up and visibility rate when a couple of strangers commented on my sets.  That means those images that I just uploaded were highly visible to the public.  500px' home page highlights those photos that were recently uploaded. So far so good. Yesterday, I went to Singapore Botanic Garden and when I got home I was so excited to upload all my new photos.  Unfortunately, I reached its 10-photos-per-week limit. I was a bit disappointed by the limit they imposed but then, it's a free service, beggars can't be choosers.   The only way to remove this limit is to be an "Awesome" user by paying $49.95 per year. I then compared it's price with Flickr.  It's surprising to know that my old photo-sharing service with lots of subscribers is way cheaper than 500px.  Fl
