• Singapore iPhone price plan has not unlimited. Cheapest plan is iFlexi Value @ 56SGD /w 300MB Data, 200min outgoing and 500 SMS #
• And for that plan, SingTel retails iPhone at 348SGD and 508SGD for 8GB and 16GB respectively. iPhone dream smashed. #

SingNet doesn’t like Slicehost too much. I’ve been having some troubles connecting to the host. There’s a 20% chance that the request would time out. It’s like 1/5 of SingNet systems aren’t working.

Other Singaporeans like pkchukiss and Jeremy encounter similar problems with we earlier discussed in Slicehost forums. Both of them mentioned they mailed the technical support so I guess I’ll just wait and see.

Basically, there’s some problems with the internet backbone (probably the C6 cervical vertebrae or something). After randomly tracerouting and pinging here and there, it appears SingNet’s machines aren’t properly configured to a SingTel node.

When with Media Temple, this blog takes ages to load, but at least it loads. With Slicehost, this blog loads quickly and that is if it actually loads.

Are there any other Slicehost users in Singapore?

[The problem appears to be resolved.]

• Reuters reports SingTel to launch 3G iPhone coming August 22. #
• @cerventus I don’t know yet, I hope not a super expensive plan to go along with the already not-too-cheap iPhone. #
• Slicehost-hosted sites tends to request-timeout in Singapore. I wonder if it is Cogent’s fault. #

Here’s Sony preparing for Sony HDNA booth at BroadcastAsia 2008 at day 0. Everything’s pretty messed up at BroadcastAsia at day 0. Just one day to build up everything. Hurry hurry hurry!

Day Zero of BroadcastAsia

Actual BroadcastAsia event

Panasonic presents their P2HD bar complete with hunk babes and motorcycles. I like the lamp post. P2HD for the win! Just wondering how much money is put in for this:

Oh the whole bar setup deserves another shot:

Sony - I must not be outdone! Studio shot for the win!

Full Sony HDNA set up. Sony brought almost all their studio and hi definition products, even Sony Vegas Pro is there. No consumer products sighted. Not to be outdone, Panasonic brought the world largest 103 inch 1080p HD plasma display.

The televisions depict confused people in lifts. It’s conveys the message well. Canon decides to get women to talk about racing cars. (more…)

I always find it what telcos do funny. Here is my recent bill from SingTel.

Here’s the breakdown if you’re blur and short-sight and can’t see from the nice picture that I posted: (more…)
