Palm Pixi is now available in the US market at the price point of $99. Even more amazing: it can be purchased at amazon.com, $24.99 only!! (2 years contract applies).

I sincerely wish Pixi come with GMS capability. It could become a hit product in Asia!

Twitter now allow a tweet to be re-tweeted. With that, news and useful information could spread even faster to wider audience, because -- through this feature -- everybody doesn't have to copy, paste, nor re-type the useful tweet message that they found; instead: they just simply need to re-tweet it!

Such feature currently available in Beta to limited audience. But I believe it would goes into mass production mode pretty soon.

With the introduction of such feature, I predict there could be three type of audiences for twitter: (1) the twitterer, (2) the tweet follower, (3) the re-twitter-er! Such would make twitter mass-appeal increase even more -- to a wider audience. Although some of us are natural born twitterer, most of us probably naturally even more inclined to become the tweet-follower, or the re-twitter-er.

Welcome to the next stage evolution of 'digital mouth-to-mouth' news, information & recommendation service! Happy re-twitter-ing!

I always impressed with Google Maps ability to show us places and direction, even at the most 'distant' location we never been.

For example, this morning I need to know how to get from Ritz-Carlton (the hotel) to nearest Apple Store in KL, ... and wham within a few second Google Maps show me the direction.

With this, tomorrow morning, I could just easily fly to KL, navigate from the hotel to the store with ease, as if I am (almost) already native there for 'years'. :-P

I imagine if we can do this also in Jakarta! Finding quick answer to question such as:

• "How to get from Sudirman to the nearest, yet most delicious warung Bakso in my area ?... "
  
• Or -- even more significant -- "Now is raining, where flood start to happen in Jakarta roads?" ..
  
• and ... "Where traffic jam mostlikely start to occur (due to the heavy rain) ??".
  

Jakarta Map and road pointer (on Google) I guess need to be detailed significantly better, then everybody would benefit from it too!.

I believe IT shall be a "tool" that embrace and empower society, enable everybody to do things for the better!

It is exciting to see The Body Shop launching a campaign this November, featuring products that Anita loves!

Although now The Body Shop is part of L'Oreal group, hopefully the wisdom and values nurtured by Anita Roddick inside the company she founded lives on.

As of today, it seems remain so.

I totally agree. Together with Akio Morita (the founder of Sony), Henry Ford (founder of Ford Motor Company), Thomas Watson Sr (the 'father' of IBM), and Chester Carlson (the legendary founder of Xerox), Steve Job's work, dedication, innovation, vision, passion and ability to make great things happen is truly awesome! He's probably even CEO of the century!

You might want to read more about Jobs and his amazing personal touch and feats in approaching work, groundbreaking innovation and excellence, here:

CEOs that does "Business as usual" is amazingly boring. Those that does "Business Un-usual" is the one that is truly inspiring and fun. Through their continuous effort, amazing dedication and passionate work, not only they make great things happen, they also inspire the next (and next) generation to come, and change society for the better!

For such amazing accomplishment -- no matter how difficult or how 'impossible' situation was in the past, Steve Jobs is awesome. His string of groundbreaking, great, awesome achievements in the area of:

• Personal Computer (Apple, Mac, iMac),
• GUI based OS and software (MacOS),
• Simple to use device (Apple, Mac, iMac, iPod, iPhone),
• Music & Media (iPod), Smartphone (iPhone), 
• Touch Interface (iPod Touch, iPhone),
• Online Store (iTunes),
• Retail Store (Apple Store),
• Thinnest & Groundbreaking Laptop Design (MacBook Air),
• Digital Movie (Pixar, ToyStory),
• and ... perhaps (later) Tablet Computer ??

is really awesome! The world becomes so many steps better because of what he envision, persistently 'struggle to achieve', and does.

Bravo!! Triple salute to Mr. Jobs!

Forget the old way of interacting with our computer and console, because soon we might face and experience even more surprising ways of interacting.

Our current way of interacting:

1. Through the keyboard.
2. Via the mouse.
3. Via touch screen.
4. Via touch-pad mouse.
5. Via remote control.
   
6. Via game controller.

So, let's wait and see how this new branch of 'innovation' would evolve!

... and I would say: it looks pretty impressive.

The form factor, the size, the simplicity, the ergonomics of the device -- all these factors seems right in this Lenovo's new designed "all-in-one" desktop.

Pioneered and popularized by Apple iMac since couple of years ago, I guess "all-in-one" might eventually be the future (and most popular) form-factor of desktop PCs too!
