I found Boon Yi big but Canton exceeded my expectations. It’s scale reminded me of American cities in that everything was built on a huge scale. Shopping Centres are large; restaurants are enormous and the public places are huge. Little of the old Canton is visible being subsumed under a barrage of ... More

Strangely, I found HK disconcerting when I first arrived. I don’t know whether it was the jet-lag or that it was so different from what I was used to. OK, the place is a magnificent monuments to man’s ingenuity in cramming people in the smallest space possible but it felt alien to me on the first ... More

We sat in rows like worshippers at some service. The constant thrum of the jets underlays a carpet of constancy. Some have fallen in to slumbers no doubt dreaming in this half sleeping state. Others, like worshippers displaying their devotion, stare at the small screens straining to keep up with th ... More

In the past, people made money from selling content in the form of discs (plastic or CDs). With the Internet and technologies like Bittorrent, the economics of this business is being turned upside down.

In the film “War of the Worlds” the invading aliens are defeated not by human technology but by Earth bound viruses. So, if an advanced alien culture can be defeated by such humble creatures how could we have survived for so long ? The answer is simple, we grew up with those same viruses and had to ... More

I don't like outsourcing. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with UK companies working with Indian or Asian companies but the idea of 'detaching' part of your company and handing it over to somebody else thousands of miles away just doesn't seem like a good idea to me. Its a bit like a gazelle ou ... More
