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...

Looking for an jQuery auto complete plugin that has similar effect like Facebook? Here you are: AutoSuggest, a very lightweight jQuery plugin that makes auto-completing extremely easy. Their example might be a little bit complex to understand. Here is a simpler one that i did: auto_suggest You can take a look. Have fun! How It Works AutoSuggest will turn any regular text input box into a rad auto-complete box. It will dynamically create all the HTML elements that it needs to function. You don’t need to add any extra HTML to work with AutoSuggest. Also, AutoSuggest uses ZERO images! All styling is done 100% in the included CSS file. This means it is super easy to customize the look of everything! You only need to edit the included CSS file. You can even use images if you want, just add the appropriate lines of code into the CSS file. As you type into the AutoSuggest input box, it will filter through it’s Data and “suggest” matched Data items to you. You can pass in an Object of Data to AutoSuggest or you can have it call a URL as you type to get it’s Data from. AutoSuggest will display the matched Data items in a selectable list, which is 100% customizable. You have the option of structuring the HTML elements of that list however you want via the formatList callback function. You case an example of this in the second example above. When you type into the input box and the “suggestion” dropdown list appears, a few things happen: A class of “loading” is applied to the main AutoSuggest...

It’s a fact that Ruby on Rails programmers don’t buy books! Really! Ruby and Rails are changing fast. Books getting outdated in just a couple of months. Buying books is just a waste of time and money for nothing. At the time the books come out, Ruby on Rails developers already read blogs/saw screencasts or even get hands dirty committing to the rails core source code. Books are just for students, not for RoR...

Just wanna share with you guys some of the common ruby array functions that I used every day. 1. Summing elements: This is a fairly common task. We’ll use Ruby’s inject method to sum all the items in the array and then print out the sum: my_array.inject(0){|sum,item| sum + item} 2. Double every item: This is a class of problem where we want to preform an operation on every element of the array. Again, this is fairly simple using Ruby’s map method. Think of performing a “mapping” from the first array to the second based on the function in the block. Keep in mind, this will return a new array and will NOT effect the original array. If we want to do a destructive map (change the initial array) we would use map!. This is a common convention in Ruby: my_array.map{|item| item*2 } 3. Finding all items that meet your criteria: If you want to collect all the values in the array that meet some criteria, we can do this using the (duh) find_all method. Again, this will return an array. The code below finds all items that are multiple’s of three : my_array.find_all{|item| item % 3 == 0 } 4. Combine techniques: Let’s now say we want to find the sume of all elements in our array that are multiples of 3. Ruby to the rescue! This is very simple because we can chain methods together gracefully in Ruby. Check it out: my_array.find_all{|item| item % 3 == 0 }.inject(0){|sum,item| sum + item } 5. Sorting: We can sort items in an array quite easily. Below, I will show...
