For the last two months or so, you couldn’t walk around Singapore without seeing the GI Joe movie posters or the GI Joe trailer. I never was a GI Joe fan – I didn’t watch the cartoon when I was young, I didn’t read the comics although they got rejuvenated recently and I never had [...]

Rewind back to the IT Show last month (where I bought my kick ass new desktop), I also got the Western Digital HDTV Media Player, which I have been enjoying immensely ever since.
