Politics Shmolitics

With the internet being the newest media as a social resource, it's no surprise that POLITICS have been introduced on the web.


News channels such as MSNBC, CNN, BBC, and ESPN have set up an online database for up-to-date headlines and news stories.

This made updates on the latest happenings much more convenient and accessible for everyone; whether they are at home, at the office, on the go (with the help of hand-held devices like PDA phones).

Also, the BIGGEST, newest, hottest topic of discussion for everyone to catch is the OBAMA Fever.


Yes, the newest US president to join the Hall of Fame as the first ever Black President of the United States has gained popularity with mesmerizing motivational speeches, humanitarian charm, and a matching grin heralding the words "YES, WE CAN CHANGE" has left the world with an ogling obsession over this new-age saint. The astounding support for Barack Obama has launched him to celebrity status, and you don't need to be an American to know what's going on with this president.


Barack Obama's official website--www.barackobama.com (go check it out!)--reports recent news on the goings-on of his presidential agenda, press conferences and addresses. Now we are all informed of every step and movement of which direction the winds of politics blows.
However, this may not be necessarily an advantage...

In early January (before his swearing-in as president), the world watched on global news networks--on the TV as well as on the internet--as the President visited his ailing grandmother in Honolulu, and when Obama family romped happily on the beaches of Kailua.

Right, now everyone who's anyone knows that the newest American President has a sexy six-pack and a hot bod. Phew, at least he doesn't have a pot-belly like the rest of his predecessors (maybe except JFK, another celebrity president--there should be a correlation between popular presidents and fitness). People tend to forget WHY they voted him in the first place. Although Barack Obama is undeniably charismatic and make the ladies go red and breathless, the American democratic population voted him as president because they saw hope and a chance to rely on him to change their lives and re-build America. I bet if the rest of the world would vote Obama if they were ever given the chance--I certainly would.


Here is a video of Obama's concession speech during the New Hampshire primary remixed into a song by Will.I.Am. with guest appearances. This music video was honored the first-ever Emmy Award for Best New Approaches in Daytime Entertainment:

Multi-faceted Diamond

Just look at it.
Isn't it beautiful?

Aesthetically, the HTC Touch Diamond is as flawless and outrageously mesmerizing as the mineral diamond. It includes 4 GB of internal storage, and uses TouchFlo 3D technology. Wi-fi is available using the Opera 9.5 internet browser which makes surfing much more convenient and far less impatient. The Diamond runs on a Microsoft OS, and comes with Microsoft Office and Windows Media Player. Picture browsing has never been so much fun as you flip through the images like a flip-book (as contacts or images). Excellent stuff.

Taiwan's HTC has done a good job in thier advertising campaign for the Diamond, rembering to boast its sleek and elegant body, and its full functionality as a professional business and entertainment phone.

And now, presenting the HTC Touch Diamond:

Crime Scene: DO NOT CROSS

Huh. Seems like the Internet is our gift and our curse.

My last blog talked about the miracle of Google, and what it can offer, but there are also many disadvantages to having so much information available at your fingertips...

Just finished reading an article about how this 'worm' called "Trojan.Silentbanker" which stealthily downloads itselfs onto your hardrive, and steals all your bank account information when you do your transactions online. Cheeky-cheeky.

Even the dual password thing in Singapore is not immune to it! Just when we thought we got it all covered and safe.

Here is le article:

Seems like nothing can be trusted anymore, and we all need to watch our backs. The best thing to do right now is to update our anti-virus software REGULARLY, and make backups, backups, backups!
