<http://blog.pcmag.com/blogs/miller/archive/2006/04/27/980.aspx>
Michael J. Miller, PC Magazine

There's certainly a very nice market of people who will pay for the style and elegance of the Mac. But the majority of people have already shown that they will choose flexibility, even if they don't use it much, especially when it costs less.

Participating in Verticla Markets does tend to be more expensive up front, but the cost isn't non-existent in the Horizontal model, it's just more hidden.

*** PAP Ministers: "vainglorious Thievery"
<http://uselesstree.typepad.com/useless_tree/2006/05/pap_ministers_v.html>
The Useless Tree

The PAP is not about "Asian values" or "Confucian virtues." It is about a leadership that dores "twisty paths." It's about old-fashioned human greed.

*** PAP Rally @ Yio Chu Kang Stadium

I went to PAP's rally at YCK stadium on Friday and I have concluded that I will not vote PAP even if eligible.

I'm hugely disappointed. Under the chairwomanship of Sylvia Lim, I expected a lot more from a Workers Party's candidate.

I think the money quote came from Workers' Party canddiate Perry Tong when he pointed out that his party's manifesto spent four pages and 800 words dealing with healthcare issues and outlining specific policies, while the People's Action Party's manifesto had just fourty words to say about it.

*** Let Us Face The Future

No Concept Of Liberty

After the rubble of five years of wasted opportunities, of increasing hardship for many and a government whose concerns are more their own than our own, it really is time for us to face the future.

A hotel is just a place to lay your head between the sights. Or is it? The New Majestic Hotel in Singapore is as deserving of a visitor's attention as any attraction in the island republic.
