    The Internet Society (ISOC) honoured one of Singapore's Internet pioneers, scientist Tan Tin Wee, 50. At ISOC's 20th anniversary celebration last Monday in Geneva, it inducted Associate Professor Tan into the Internet Society's Hall of Fame. As I wrote in The Sunday Times on April 29, Prof Tan passionately believed that the Internet should be accessible to everyone, no matter what language they speak or write in. In the 1990s, he led a research team to invent a software that could read non-Latin languages and displayed it in a browser. One language he championed was Tamil. This is a story…

Today, when I return to Delhi I go for walks in the Lodi Gardens, a huge park which houses a series of mausoleums and a big ancient mosque. In the mausoleums are the graves of the Pashtun kings of the Lodi dynasty who ruled Delhi from 1451 to 1526, before the Mughals arrived from Central…

    Apple is acting out of norm in recent days. Who would think Apple would issue stock dividends and initiate a share buyback scheme? Steve Jobs, the late Apple co-founder, was terrified of running out of cash. He remembered the company’s brush with insolvency in 1997. So he did what most 'parents' would do: he saved. And his savings grew and grew to  nearly US$10 billion. Last quarter, Apple had such a sterling quarter, it  added US$16 billion to this mound of money. Apple could afford to drop US$10 billion as spare change to buy Twitter and still have loads money left in the bank. Ten days…

To some, this may be a major privacy issue since Facebook is using its users’ personal data without prior consent to falsely attract or mislead others for marketing or advertising purposes. It is quite impossible to expect Facebook to change their advertising strategy especially when a majority Facebook users did not express discomfort with the issue. But if this bugs you, there is a solution that will remove Facebook’s misuse…

Here we are 5 years later and our love has continued to grow stronger as each day passes. It's been an amazing adventure - getting married, buying a house, changing jobs, moving to Singapore, exploring the world. Life together has certainly never been dull.  There have…
