Bigger is always better, right? Most people don’t like the way Apple rolls out products. The company releases a device, only to roll out the “next version” a year later. The newer model usually contains only a few minor tweaks, which could have been implemented on the original (copy-paste on the iPhone anyone?). It was this mindset that had people criticizing the iPad. “It’s just a giant iPhone,” they said. “It even runs the same OS as the iPhone and iPod Touch!” Well here’s one for the people who think Apple’s line of products has gotten just a bit too linear. The folks over at begeek.fr have predicted the next two iterations of the Apple iPad. Behold! The iBoard and the iMat! via:...
Entrepreneurs have to venture beyond Singapore for business opportunities and, even then, “markets around Singapore are not homogenous enough to create scale”, he said. In comparison, US companies enjoy economies of scale to build up to a significant size before they branch out into the rest of the world. This means they get a much larger revenue pool, he explained. Mr Mike Ang, president of the Association of Telecommunications Industry of Singapore, felt that Singapore “just does not possess the eco-system that Silicon Valley has” to nurture billionaires. He observes that Singapore firms prefer to buy products and services from big overseas firms such as HP, Microsoft and IBM, instead of supporting small, home-grown start-ups. Furthermore, Singaporeans are not as receptive to new technology such as Facebook when compared to Americans, he said. It means that if someone wants to launch a new product, he needs to venture into the US to gain credibility, he added. The issue of young billionaires comes in the wake of last Thursday’s news that Mr Eduardo Saverin, 28, the co-founder of Facebook, has been residing in Singapore for the past 11/2 years. San Francisco-based technology site TechCrunch said he had set up an office here for his software-development company Anideo last year, and is said to be providing funding to Facebook game developers. In the film The Social Network, the Brazilian-born technopreneur is portrayed by British actor Andrew Garfield. He owns a 5 per cent share of Facebook while his Harvard schoolmate, Mr Zuckerberg, owns 24 per cent. The former is said to be a regular patron of Singapore’s party hot spots, such...
