DA 21/3.2 test shot
Test at the Pentax booth. It's a very attractive lens, in terms of form factor. Image quality is not bad too.

Dead DVDR = > 1500 photos loss
Just bought a 3.5" HDD external casing, together with a 250GB HDD and starting to copy all my CDR and DVD previously stored. 'Most' of the disc are fine, but there is 1 DVD I cannot read again. Hell! I just loss >4GB worth of photos, all JPEG.... you guess how many photos are there? The concerned DVDR is less than 1 year old! I stored all disc in a translucent plastic box, and the dead CD was the outermost one in the box... maybe exposure to light kill a DVDR - I can actually see the de-coloring of the DVDR.
Very upset!

Will you ever enjoy watching TV on your cell phone?
Many companies in the IT industry just don't very consider the human factors. Reports like this pop-up from time to time, boosting all the craps "our technology so-and-so", "launch day expected so-and-so".... Did they ever consider: "will the consumer use it?"
Perhaps there will be a fad, but after the heat, people will just forget this function, and going back to the basic function of their electronic gadget. R&D investment will be like dumped into the sea.
For those company who consider the human factor at the drawing board, they are more likely to success. i-Pod triumphed the MP3/4 player market by it's user friendly program (free of charge for all include non-customer), online shop integration, and beautiful outlook of the product.

Causeway Bay
Havn't been to Causeway Bay for a long time, a place I use to work there daily for many years. There are changes, but I still feel like home.

WIMAX on it's way
Samsung announced the world's first WIMAX PDA.
Being the next big evoluation in telecom, WIMAX has very little discussion in Hong Kong. Hong Kong is still pushing hard the 3G technology, which would surely killed by WIMAX. Why? Hong Kong is largely controlled by The Lee's Family. Hutchison now only operate 2 3G network in the world, Isarel and Hong Kong. PCCW just launched it's 3G not long before..... if people starting to talk and expect for the WIMAX, they all loss big investment. Well, "they" all named Lee.

The next Generation computer
http://www.ncomputing.com/ncomputing/products/typel100.php
At the size of a pda, with connection to keyboard, mouse and monitor, it has no CPU and HDD. Connected with boardband / Ethernet and runs programs on network computers. All hardware bonded to a plastic chip, nothing to break inside so it's robust. Consumer 2% of the power of a regular PC. Costed $50 at launch. Sounds promising.
Wait a minute: Bill doesn't say yes to connect 30 users to one single Windows PC....
