"Why should we allow them (the exiled), through a movie, to present an account of themselves not of documentary history objectively presented, but that is a self-servigig personal account, conveniently inaccurate in places, glossing over inconvenient facts and others, which will sully the honour and reputation of the security people and the brave men and women who fought the Communists all those many years in order to create today's Singapore?"

~ Hsien-Loong Lee
on MDA's decision to not allow filmmaker Tan Pin Pin's "To, Singapore, WIth Love" for local distribution.

Borderlinx shipping tarrifs to Singapore

New tariffs as of October 5, 2012

On October 5, 2012, we will introduce revised tariffs for deliveries to Singapore. We are making our price structure simple and transparent, and adjusting the tariff of the Standard delivery service because of increased air transportation prices.
The new prices will be as follows:

• Standard Shipping option: USD 13.00 for the first half-kilo + USD 3.30 per half-kilo + fuel surcharge (the base price remains unchanged, whilst the incremental price is slightly adjusted).
• Express Shipping option: USD 16.00 for the first half-kilo + USD 4.00 per half-kilo + fuel surcharge (this is a significant price drop).

In order to reduce the Volumetric Weight of your shipments, we have recently introduced an automatic and free Repacking Service. Weight reductions averaging 20% are being realised giving you substantial shipping savings.
Borderlinx and Citi Globeshopper are committed to offer you excellent service at competitive prices.

Native PDF reader in Firefox 15

Firefox 15 comes with a native PDF reader that uses JavaScript (pdf.js) to open PDF files directly in the browser.

This feature is disabled by default but it can be enabled by following these steps: open a new tab, type "about:config", search for "pdfjs.disabled" and set it to "false" (double click it).

Adding flash to a Nexus 7

Adding Flash support to the Google Nexus 7 can be accomplished in two simple steps:

Download Adobe Flash Play 11.1 apk here or download it from XDA Developers. After the file has downloaded open and install it. Please be sure that “Install from unkown sources” is checked off in the Android settings for the Nexus 7.

Install Firefox Beta browser from the Android Market.

That’s it, now you have Flash support on your Android 4.1 (JellyBean) Google Nexus 7 tablet! Couple things to note:

1. This will NOT work with the current build of Google Chrome. A dev may fix this in the future but Google nor Adobe will be adding Flash support to any future builds of Android. I’ve also tried the plugin with ICS+ Browser and Dolphin Browser HD, both of which don’t work with the method used above. FireFox seems to be the only browser currently that works with the flash plugin in Android 4.1.

2. By default FireFox Beta has plugins set to “on demand”, which can cause some minor inconviences, however you can remedy this problem by going to:

    FireFox Beta settings (three dots to right corner) -> Settings -> Plugins -> Select: Enabled
