Firefox for IOS
The lack of the IOS version of the browser is probably due to the fact that the third-party web browser rendering engines are disallowed by Apple compared to Firefox for Android. The strange thing is that even the third-party browsers are making use of IOS rendering engine which may mean Safari but with different skin. However, it seems that things are changed and that Mozilla is planning to bring the IOS version of Firefox with its own different engine although I may assume that it targets IOS 7 and above that I still have yet to but the newer IOS device. Problem against that is that the Ipod Touch at minimum price is still expensive at $200+. Good thing is that there's cloud synchronization of bookmarks, preferences, favorites and other stuffs in the IOS version as well just like the desktop version. What you can't synchronize however, is the addons because not all addons are available on mobile version of the same web browser.
Comcast X Time Warner acquisition bullshit (With bullshit promotion?)
You can pretty much know that whatever that is said in the advertisements organized by that Idiotcast is total lies and bullshit. That may be because they may be trying to ruin the hell out of net neutrality in the US and their company has been the most dispised one by US customers for terrible customer service. So, who are the only supporters left, huh? The staff and other companies related to that abomination?
This has been the stupid way to treat the customers as if they've been ill-treating and ignoring the hell out of their customers with the awful service they foolishly call it the good and friendly one which their useless claims are absolute bullshit! For those who are not the customers of that horrible US ISP, good for them because whether the users use that ISP or the other, they have already dispised Shitcast to the core and that the opposition of the merging process is getting strong coming from people around the globe.
Even if this may affect the US citizens, it is still a global news that people around the globe may know what's going on and such abomination like the poor customer service for example is something people don't like.

Changes to Virtualand at Bugis Junction - December 2nd
If the rumors and annoucements are true, some of the game machines were already transferred to the other Virtualand game centers. Two of SDVX machines would be moved to Century Square Virtualand arcade in which someone must have fulfilled my unexpected dream of SDVX available for play at Century Square as if those machines were placed next to Dance Evolution arcade machines. The LCD Beatmania IIDX machine was transferred to Nex at Serangoon. Other than the machine transfers, there are like already multiple methods in inserting credits for today's Bemani music games although we prefer using the card method for credit insertion as inserting through coins is a serious pain in the game machines' butts.
Other weird dreams had involved the dis-functional and different sized arcade game machines and especially when the methods of playing them were totally unknown. Not to mention that I somewhat went to small-ass arcade centers in those dreams with no signs of rhythm games whatsoever. There might be other game genres I'm familar with in those dreams though. Speaking of dis-functional machines, even the computers in my dreams were my definition of malfunction.

Shinco Spad-miniQ obtained
Hmm, the technical specs are somewhat the same as another tablet which is Onda V818 Mini Quad Core that uses the different brand. However, the knowledge about HC Shinco is that it is likely to be a local brand that started in the late 90s in which they were manufacturing DVD players and other media players but nowadays, they're manufacturing mobile devices. If this tablet may look like the locally published version of that China tablet, perhaps it may be appealing to the customer service if there was a minor modification like brand change and nothing else, you don't want that. There might be local forums about this and I'm not sure if they could be used as evidence of product comparison. However, rip-off with major difference or completely original, it can't probably mean that the product is bad unless it is done poorly on the main portions of it. The original tablet which is Onda V818 Mini has the firmware support in which you can upgrade that tablet but I'm not sure if you can do the same to Spad-miniQ as according to Hardwarezone forum, it may seem that Shinco doesn't offer their version of that.
Decent thing about this tablet is that it is the clone of the Ipad Mini and that it offers UHD video playback and quad-core CPU but those were the only special parts of the technical specifications and not anything else. The highest resolution for video filming will be Full-HD resolution.
Then, about the inside. It is unfortunate that not all Android 4.2 and 4.3 devices support the Miracast so this tablet's a fat chance for me for the lack of that but at least I did have the HDMI cable along with HDMI to mini-HDMI thingy so that I can hook that up to the TV. As part of the promotion, the tablet also came with Power Bank, Mini USB to USB extender cable, power adapter which didn't work at all, external 3G/4G which makes the internal mobile device design kind of bullshit for the lack of internal one as most of them should already have the SIM card slot with 3G/4G/5G inside of them and of course, the mini-USB to USB cable. As the power adapter that came with it didn't work on me, I can probably use my previous Android device's power adapter for charging this new one with that mini-USB to USB cable although it may be risky that way for using anything like that for non-Samsung devices.
Unfortunately, there was some touch screen problem when I bought this tablet as if your touch point's surrounding area would be tapped too. It's not the hard tapping or hard holding that was causing the problem, it was something else I don't know that caused it. The moment I started to use the tablet, the problem was already there and that can ruin my opportunity to play games on this tablet. However, there should be a solution for this by making contact with the company directly as the staffs at Singapore Expo were apparently doing promotions and sales of Shinco products.

SITEX - November of this year
This is probably a big one and especially that there were tons of new things there that took place at Singapore Expo at the end of last month. There might be newer tons of computers, mobile devices and especially for the newer tech brands and new educational schools for same certified courses in addition to Rangers products, earpieces, printers, speakers, headphones, projectors and so on. Of course, there was some gaming show taking place at Alienware booth with some cool-ass computers which were extremely expensive. Alienware Area 51 is one of the examples of the coolness. Inside, the slots were slanted and especially for the fact that there would be internal water cooling pumps connected to the CPU. Hard drives, SSDs and the rest of the components were on the opposite side and not slanted.
There were also security cameras, door locks and networked ones by Samsung which were more than what I saw at Funan Digitalife Mall the last time. Like always, those things were not easy to set up like you would need some sort of engineering skills to do it.
Other discoveries included the 3D printer that allowed you to print figures of the characters or maybe some public facility and of course, Lithan Hall Academy which is another school that provides certified courses. Unlike others like New Horizons or something, this one provides WDA funding discount for whatever certified courses you want to take. And even then, they are seriously expensive to me.
The downside of IT shows like this is that there may also be booths that are brought from Sim Lim Square or something as if those shops are promoting the products there from Sim Lim Square regardless of the brands. There are also other China and Korean brands as well but it may look like Sim Lim Square is the only place to buy those mobile devices from.
There was one company that provided cheaper phone calls and that there was no expiry for prepaid SIM-cards whatsoever. Kind of useful for overseas trips and especially that it still makes use of your current mobile number so that nobody can suspect that you've changed your phone number. The only downside is the local calls in which sticking back to whatever ISP you're currently using is still recommended for that.
But it's not over yet as I happened to have bought something from there.

OnePlus One in India uses the local OS, Micromax OS
India's mobile devices have been using the local OS which is based on Android and OnePlus One will be the next one to use it instead of Cyanogenmod. This is probably due to Cyanogen having a deal with Micromax which has been producing the custom OSes on Android devices in India. The device will be released tomorrow in India and will be available exclusively through Amazon with invites again.
Such kind of business strategy from OnePlus had become a controversial way through all the bullshit invites that nobody wanted in the first place like trying to get such a phone like this. I don't know if Jolla can do better job than this when it comes to announcing their upcoming tablet with a different OS.

Online analytics system, Gigya, compromised by SEA
Well, we probably can't tolerate what those research-less assholes did to Microsoft the last time while Microsoft was already planning to increase the security level for Outlook and Onedrive. Like how many times do I have to mention those two recently encrypted services? There were already rants of mine about that cyber-compromising group from Syria and yet they have the guts to attack a different company this time which is Gigya.
Gigya is the online analytics system that tracks user behavior for marketing purposes and many companies have been using it perhaps for the sake to see how many users are using their products and services and so for so that they can share the usage results within the organization or something.
CERTAIN SITES like Logitech, Dell UK, PC World, etc. were compromised last month! Who knows if they were quickly restored? And Syrian Electronic Army or SEA is some group that nobody supports for their research-less bullshit attacks the last time and nobody knows what the next target will be in the future.
