Google's new baby

I'm no tech geek so i find chrome a little hard to appreciate. It sounds cool and looking at their upgraded features, it seems nifty. Yet, so far, I don't feel any difference. I'm only using it as a feeble means to destroy microsoft's monopoly over internet browsing.
But there's one thing i do appreciate! Google's attempts to humour: (This opens when you enter into their incognito mode; the mode whereby your internet history won't be jotted down)

Going incognito doesn't affect the behavior of other people, servers, or software. Be wary of:
  • Websites that collect or share information about you
  • Internet service providers or employers that track the pages you visit
  • Malicious software that tracks your keystrokes in exchange for free smileys
  • Surveillance by secret agents
  • People standing behind you
The people at google sure are having fun.

Local Artistes

I've been listening to the radio and i so happened to chance upon Olivia ong's fade away on 98.7fm. Catchy and sweet. It's got some nice rhythm. Having listened to Corrinne May, Electrico and Olivia Ong, I realised our Singaporean artistes aren't that bad with English songs. In fact, I do think their tunes can match up to US and UK bands, they just lack the proper marketing and perhaps the fan base.

Maybe I should take a trip down to Timbre on one of these days to patronise our local singers. I heard the music and the atmosphere is good for chilling out, oh i just went to their website. They're having a timbre music fest from 19 to 28th Sep..sure sounds good to me :)

*Do take some time to listen to fade away, i've placed it on my blog to finally replace one summer's day.
