Andy Ihnatko, Chicago Sun-Times

All I can tell you is that with Tiger on store shelves, and a new Windows a mere shapeless dot shimmering vaguely over the horizon, there has never been a more compelling time to switch to a Mac.

*** We Just Have More Fun
Heng-Cheong Leong

Develop Windows applications, and you'll probably need to read books like "Programming .NET Windows Applications" and "Programming 'Indigo': The Unified Framework for Building Service-Oriented Applications On The Microsoft Windows Platform Beta Edition".

Develop Macintosh applications, and you can read books like "Happy Macintosh Development Time <http://headrush.typepad.com/creating_passionate_users/2005/05/mac_developers_.html>".

Now, tell me, which is better? :-)

*** Earth Has Become Brighter, But No One Is Sure Why

Kenneth Chang, New York Times

The brightening means that more sunlight -- and thus more heat -- is reaching the ground. That could partly explain the record-high global temperatures reported in the late 1990's, and it could accelerate the planet's warming trend.

Jasmine Yin, Today

One of the challenges facing the government is managing the growing political consciousness of Singaporeans, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.

*** Channel NewsAsia On AcidFlask

Singapore Commentator

It would probably be a good idea for Channel NewsAsia to do some serious soul-searching.

*** Singapore Is The Victim
<http://slmjd.blogspot.com/2005/05/singapore-is-victim.html>
Gilbert Koh, Singapore Legal Mumbo Jumbo Demystified

If I were Lee Hsien Loong or Goh Chok Tong, I would be upset. Because the biggest victim is not Acidflask, nor Philip Yeo, nor A*STAR. In my opinion, Singapore is the biggest victim.

*** Acidflask's Story
<http://singabloodypore.blogspot.com/2005/05/acidflasks-story.html>

"I am disappointed and discouraged that Mr Philip Yeo had not attempt to correct any possible misconceptions that I may have had over the interpretation of publicly available information, deciding instead to threaten to sue me for defamation."

*** Set Deadline For A Solution
<http://www.todayonline.com/articles/49009.asp>
Today

I do not understand what they mean by taking this matter "seriously", when the issue has remained unresolved for such a long time.

*** CNA Article On Acidflask's Case
<http://slmjd.blogspot.com/2005/05/cna-article-on-acidflasks-case.html>
Gilbert Koh, Singapore Legal Mumbo Jumbo Demystified

In my entire life, I don't think I've ever seen a news report about a defamation case, that didn't even state what the alledgedly defamatory statement was!
