I did a post before on Watching Netflix In Singapore With UnoTelly SmartDNS and today, I will be featuring an alternative to UnoTelly which is Unblock-Us.

Unblock-Us was started in 2010 in Toronto, Canada. They are the first company in the world to offer a DNS-based solution (SmartDNS) to give people access to content not available in their location. They strongly believe in anonymity and privacy and hence they moved their operations to Barbados in response to the proposed Canadian legislation which would have required them to keep logs on their customer activities for 6 months.

Microsoft Surface 3 will be retailing in Singapore from 5th May 2015 in two configurations: S$748 for 2GB RAM/64GB Storage and S$898 for 4GB RAM/128GB Storage.

The Surface 3 is the younger brother of the Microsoft Surface Pro 3 and hence it is less powerful and smaller. It is powered by Intel Atom x7-Z8700 processor and has a 10.8″ full HD screen.

After the move to nginx/php-fpm, the next natural course of action is to move to HHVM and php-fpm as a fallback.

What is HHVM?

The HTC One M9 will be available in Singapore from this Saturday, 2nd May 2015, for a recommended retail price (RRP) of S$1,008.

It only comes in one variant which is 32GB and it available in two different colors:

Fitbit Charge started selling in Singapore on 19th December 2014 and it is currently retailing for S$169. The Fitbit Charge is available in four colors: Black, Slate, Blue and Burgundy.

The Fitbit Charge is not meant to be the successor of the Fitbit Flex. When it comes to physical appearance, Fitbit Flex is smaller and doesn’t have a display whereas Fitbit Charge is two times bigger and offer a OLED display. Both serve different target audiences and that is the reason why Fitbit Flex is still on sale.

Bought the Xiaomi LED Light for S$6.99 during the Mi Fan Festival 2015. There are two colors available, blue and white. I got both since the price is pretty reasonable.

The Xiaomi LED Light is a good alternative to your phone’s flashlight. Just plug it into a power bank and it can double up as a torchlight. The Xiaomi LED Light is diffused so they are easy on your eyes as well.

The MOS Spring Lightning Cable is my second MOS product, the first being it’s flagship product, the Magnetic Organization System (MOS).

The MOS Spring Lightning Cable is coming to Singapore soon, but if you can’t wait, you can order it from the website itself for US$29.95 (S$41). Shipping to Singapore is an additional US$4.94 (S$7) via USPS First Class International.

Thanks to Letv for inviting me to Beijing, China, for the launch of their new mobile phones along with other Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan and India media. This is the first time Letv is venturing into the smart phone market.

For the unaware, Letv was founded in 2004 by Jia Yueting (net worth US$3.7 billion) and is one of China’s biggest and fastest growing Internet companies. The company employs more than 5,000 people and is listed on the Growth Enterprise Market in China with a market capitalization of more than US$12 billion (Source: Wikipedia).

Scosche MagicMount has similar concept to the Logitech + trip Universal Air Vent Mount iS45.

MagicMount is a new magnetic mounting system for conveniently mounting your smartphone, tablet and more. Just hover your device near the cell phone holder’s magnetic surface and it instantly locks securely in place.
