I know I'm late talking about this, but the ugly truth about Steve Jobs is that he wasn't the "genius" that everyone thinks he was. The people that compare Jobs to folks like Nikola Tesla don't know what they're talking about. Tesla not only had great ideas, but he actually got his hands dirty to actually create machinery and other devices … more
Death is always sad, but I've never been one to get too emotional over the death of a public figure. Someone who I didn't personally know. Someone who I had never met. However, in the case of Steve Jobs, I'm deeply saddened to the point of numbness. Steve Jobs literally changed the world. He revolutionized technology and in turn, those … more
Death knows no boundaries. It does not recognize nationalities, age, demographics, beauty, bank accounts nor fame. We can't really tell who will live to a ripe old age or who will pass on the next day. All we are left with is how much a person has effected in his lifetime, not how long he has lived. Steve Jobs is the inspiration behind this review. … more

October 06, 2011
A legend. Too young to die at 56! He will live on in many of his fans' hearts though... Go get the iPad 2, it's now officially the last product Jobs launched! A sad day as I type this QT on the iPad 2.
Whatever his "grand" designs are, like his father said, he might as well kill himself! Is the guy trying to change the world or is he trying to change his world? Taking innocent lives can never be the way, can it?! For a country like Norway, where it was once the safest and one which has the highest GDP per capita in the world, this incident … more

May 19, 2011
As long as I can remember, my cousins have always been first and foremost, my friends. I've many cousins and I live around them as a child. There were many older and younger children at my grandparents' home each day after school and my childhood was filled with games and fun time with my cousins. As we grew older, we were spread out in different corners of the world but I still managed to … more
After almost 10 years, a few wars and death of countless people, the leadership of Osama bin Laden has finally reached an end after his death last sunday on May 1. Since early this year we had seen a lot of instability and activities in many part of the world, be it natural disasters, revolutions or royal celebrations. From the last quarter, we can further expect more escalations in deterioration … more
Death is not something I'd wish upon anyone, be it in return for retaliation or justice. However, it is hard to feel pity for a man's death when he has killed thousands of innocent beings and made even more orphans. Hopefully, his death will spell the end of the terror the world has been made to face for the last decade or so. It may be too much to hope for but we cannot condone his past actions … more

May 02, 2011
The news and President Obama announced his death. It's a victory for the American people, especially for families of those who were killed in the Sep. 11 terror attack in New York City. Many children had been orphaned because of him! However, retaliations from terrorists are now expected so governments have to be vigilant. In the mean time, … more

Sharrie posted a Quick Tip about Robin Li.
May 01, 2011
He could have stayed in the U.S. Instead, unlike many of his predecessors, he flew home to China and began his influences in the world-wide-web. We are referring to his search engine and company, Baidu. Baidu is the most popular Chinese search engine which even supersedes Google's influence in this part of the world. Robin Li may have been criticized for many things but … more
If the theatricality and utter ridiculousness of the hats and fascinators parading into Westminster Abbey didn’t force you to watch the royal wedding, surely the pomp, circumstance and theatricality of the whole event did. Still didn’t bite? Fine, then I shall be forced to regale you with all of the dirty details of the Royal Wedding. Since I know very little … more

April 30, 2011
A university romance, 16 years of dating and after the ups and downs of any relationship, they are finally tying the knot! It is a day of joy as the world looks on! And starting from 8 am local time, the broadcast begins! 3 hours to go before the actual event and I'm penning this down as it is progressing. 10000 media reporters, 1900 guests, 180 countries broadcasting … more
This is a guy who is not only egoistic but also bad for business. All I hear of him say is "fire, fire, fire"! You are fired, that's it! Now, he not only shows no respective for his own President, he also showed he has not the skill to be diplomatic and know nothing about international trade. Even if he has been successful on America soil, he's not going to be popular by calling … more
Well, the European royal families haven't had a more looking forward to wedding of the decade since the last century when the parents of the bridegroom (ie. Prince Charles & Diana) was wedded. Yes, Prince Frederik of Denmark, Prince Haakon of Norway and Princess Victoria got their fair share of royal weddings in the last few years. Nonetheless, this is one wedding that those interested in … more

March 28, 2011
How can you rate someone who has made her mark and done so much in the halls of filmmaking? You simply cannot. I loved the way her family kept her funeral private, so I was reluctant to do a review on one of her best movies and I think it is wise to let it be. I think she would prefer to not get too much attention and she gave me the impression that she wants to keep … more

March 27, 2011
She was the most beautiful and desirable for a long period of time. A talented actress with many facets and a highly interesting personal life with some 7 marriages or is it 8? Anyhow, an icon of her time as well as a well-loved actress! She'd certainly be missed by many. I love her portrayal of Cleopatra and have not seen anyone done that better than Liz Taylor!
