100th-cake1

The skies gave little confidence to our intrepid crew as they set off for the haven. A haven of good coffee and tantalising treats known as Geek Terminal. They arrived to find themselves surrounded by a sea of their friends, lovers, exes and future flames. It was a beautiful sight. Our crew launched into learned discussion, of things Apple, and of the accuracy of the words we’ve already said. We also make a prediction as to the sort of goodies that will be bestowed upon us by good ol’ Santy Claus. Eventually, cake was unleashed on the crowd, and DK broke down and flew. High. As a kite in the sky.

SHAMELESS PLUG: The HUNDREDTH episode is coming next week. 27th December 2008 @ 1400. Be there. Or be octagonal.

Whooda’ Thunk it. We’d be reunited as one at the open doors of the home, the crib, the HQ of Tech65. At Jerrick’s home where his mother’s recent return has meant a nicely cleaned home and nicely chilled cola. In the spirit of openness we’re glad to see that many more companies have joined Google’s Open Handset Alliance. We look at various speed limits that graphics card companies and solid state memory companies try to break and also wish a very happy 40th to the mouse. Now don’t you think it’s time you stepped down and let some fresh faced junior take over?

Listen to Me! You have No Time! The 100th. It’s COMING!
Left Hand of Destruction, Red Ring of Death, Black Knight of Insolence, Pink Tunic of Destiny.

G65 - Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 Review

Daniel takes a look at the beautiful and solid-built Sony Ericsson Xperia X1, Sony Ericcson’s first non-UIQ smartphone, and given the developement lately, certainly not the last. But is the phone all about design? Well, yes and no.

In summary, there are 3 aspects of the phone that Sony Ericsson appears to have focused on: The design, which is very beautiful, but does have its flaws, The Xpanel, which after the review, appears to not be what they claimed to be, and the built-in panels are just helping to make that more obvious, but surely better than a standard windows mobile UI. Lastly is the power of the phone, which is no doubt quite powerful.

Creative Commons is finally in Singapore! Woo hoo! Wait, so what’s Creative Commons all about anyway? Sure, lots of us have been declaring our stuff as CC, but do we actually know what’s it for? Good thing we have our resident Professor No Touchy Touchy attempts to explain his understanding of CC to us, and convince the rest of us why CC should be promoted in Singapore, among other local tech news. This week, on 65bits…

Daniel, NTT, DK & Nicole
