Jan 5, 2009 16:29
US$139,000 is what's keeping you out of the skies in this foldup plane:

Tired of inflight food like this geek who's been living in airplanes and airports a good part of the past few months? Then pilot your own plane--the Icon A5, the light sports aircraft that's cheaper than your Mercedez Benz, at least here in Singapore. The similiarity?

Gaming in peace

I've so oft' seen gamers' anti-virus application affecting their play, like their anti-virus lagging their system, or scanning while they're playing, giving pop-up messages during a critical moment of play, thus causing poor play.

In fact, I think all gaming team captains should make their members use this product.

About Nicholas Aaron Khoo
Nicknamed "Gadget Boy" by friends at age 18 because he used to go around with a PalmPilot and write in Grafitti faster than most would type, Nicholas Aaron Khoo is programmer turned technopreneur now pretending to do strategic advisory for tech startups and as well as (un)Fortune 500s, when he's not pretending to be Clark Kent. His tech interests range narrowly from gadgets, gears, games, emerging web trends, social media, and just about anything remotely related to 1s and 0s. Besides ranting about tech, this geek is also learning to take a step back and reflect on life in a larger context and you can find more rantings on HighwayBlogger.net.
