IFPI must have a serious self-esteem problem, as they seem to be so proud of the recent court victory.
The ISPs have incriminating evidence and names of the offending parties, but are refusing to hand it over. Indeed this is the right thing for the ISPs to do. IFPI applied to the court for a specific [...]

I was shocked to discover that, both Kwong Tai (fine supplier of a wide range of photographic film, paper and chemical) in Stanley Street and East Asia (professional photo lab) in Wellington Street are no more.

At the Lady’s request, I accompanied her to the teachers’ demonstration on Sunday. We stayed for about an hour. Jasper was getting bored. I was getting bored. The Lady was a bit crossed with me for my “attitude”. Yeah right.
The teachers were demanding Ms Lo nee Fan to quit, but totally ignored the hidden agenda [...]

Konica-Minolta has just announced withdrawal from the camera business. No more Minolta SLRs and DSLRs. No more Konica Hexars.
I have always wanted to pick up a Konica Hexar RF since they first came out, but (i) never had the money, (ii) couldn’t justify the purchase. It might just be the right time to pick up [...]

RTHK outsourced their copyright licensing.
You don’t hear sh*t like this…
I think most commentators missed the point. It is not about information wants to be free.

I got another call from PCCW last nite, offering 6 months of NOW TV for free. The Lady didn’t want it, citing a lack of time for TV, so I never got to the details of the offer.
It is true—typically we watch less than an hour of TV everyday, sometime not at all. We avoid [...]

I was reading yesterday’s HKEJ, and found an article by 王岸然, quoted here.
Here are more on the disgraceful story. Shame on you Singtao!
I won’t be getting another copy of Singtao PC Market. Collateral damage? Maybe.
The development of independent media is also interesting. I have been watching Wikinews, but InMedia seems to be much more relevant. [...]

Follow up to a recent social gathering of some ex-members of the NPC, Siu Ma commented in his blog that we were no longer as keen on photography, and we didn’t even discuss photography during the gathering.
Work and family commitments often take up so much time, leaving the average person no energy for any passion [...]
