I logged into GTalk on my iPhone recently looking for a friend and noticed a new Buzz link. Curious, I tapped on it and it told me “Safari Would Like to Use Your Current Location”. Anything that wants to automatically use my GPS location when I don’t expect it to creeps me out, [...]
The Octopus Knows Your Language
While in Hong Kong, I did some sightseeing with some American friends who were part of our group. They hadn’t been in Hong Kong before and my Hong Kong born friend had introduced them to the Octopus card so everyone in our group got this prox card (by paying a deposit), which is a [...]
I flew on Cathay Pacific with their new seats and noticed that the user interface for the entertainment screens weren’t as intuitive as I thought it would be. It took some confusion to figure out why it wasn’t behaving as expected. While the remote was docked, I expected the arrows to work as [...]

Two and a half months ago, a friend of mine had read about invite-only i’m in like with you in geeksugar and was trying to get in. When he finally found a way in, he used it for a short while, played the games, and eventually abandonned it. He invited me and I [...]
