Friday the 13th

If you hadn't noticed, yesterday was Friday the 13th. Most people would consider the date be unlucky. However it seems people have lose interest in it. If it were some ten years ago, Friday the 13th would have many computer infected with viruses. Unless it just doesn't work that way anymore or some new dates took over.

Facebook idea stole from others

So the cat was finally let out of the bag. The lawsuit then states that Facebook design was stolen from another social networking site. It went quiet all of sudden, at least the other side of the globe the news seems to died out. Now the lawyers that handle the case for the winning party released edited documents to show everyone the outcome. While the law firm may just want to advertise themselves as good using facebook's case, leaving out details on it, it is a bad call. Isn't it supposed to be confidential on all details? Looks like another law suit is coming, I am expecting it. Some just feel they have to "brag" about it to show everyone they are good.

NS PTP extended

Looks like Mindef has extend their PTP for those NS recuits who can't pass their IPPT. PTP was just 1 month in addition to the 3 months BMT. Now it would be a 2 months PTP. A total of 5 months before they POP. Depend on how you see it, could be good for training. While I don't see how their system works, it could be, those who pass IPPT will just come for the 3 months BMT. So they will be doing 3 months less for the 2 years BMT. I suppose so unless these PTP batch of soldiers will be a battlion on their own.

Joe caught it again...

Yes. Joe got "fired" again, this time from Power98. So what happened this time round? No one is saying anything but speculation is that his jokes on-air doesn't go well with the managers. Isn't it the similar with 91.3? At least 91.3 gave everyone their reason for the departure. This time round their boot is suppose to be a mystery. Joe, I am sure you will be back on-air soon. Maybe 91.3 will want you back. Don't think their shows after you left make any progress. As for Shareen, she should be treated better since she is one of those long service DJ in Power98. The listeners shall wait and see if the management will do the right thing.

Still we have many risk takers. This is a decision to be made by would be visitors.

does more local contents draw more viewers?

Read an article from a newspaper that more local contents will draw more viewerships. While having more local content is good as in local productions are getting some demands. To draw viewers would be hardly convincing. First the usual point here is that, there is only one TV broadcaster here. The contents just doesn't change much as compare to the few years when there was a competitor. You have a good stable of artists yet it is always the same few of them so call brighter stars. The storyline of the shows are the usual or copying those HK dramas. variety contents and those singing or talent contest are flooding the timeslot. Viewers simpy have no where to switch to unlike some with pay TV. I don't see how it increase when there is no other choice at all.

annoyance on tv

Yes. I do watch a bit of TV. Mostly on news. So whay could be the annoyance? It isn't the ads. It seems to be the holiday season greetings. If you watch the news now since it is Lunar New Year period, you would notice those gold nuggets moving at the left side of the screen. Isn't that super irritating or what?! During Christmas they have sms greetings and force everyone to watch those greetings blocking the screen. So now with all those ads they need to junk all corners of our screen. They can do anything since there is no competitors, unless you have pay tv to switch to.
