We came back with a bang with Toh of http://www.mytechnews.info/ Sheldon Goh – http://sheldongoh.deviantart.com and Andrew Kok – http://www.twitter.com/andrewkjs/

We took a look at the “Its only Rock and Roll” Apple event and didn’t think it was that eye opening, jaw dropping as its usually is. We ended up talking more about Norah Jones than the event itself. How weird is that?

We also talked about the premium content and how google is helping newspapers to use micropayments to charge for their premium paid content.

Pixi wasn’t that impressive and yes the Palm Pre is not even in our shores, yet we urge Palm to reconsider the markets beyond the US and how asia can help them sell more.

We took a swing at the unnecessary statement from Symantec urging users to think twice when using freeware. No advice was really given and there were no compelling reason as to why we should not be considering a freeware program when it comes to security or any other software that Symantec meant to say.
