Found this on Jim’s Flickr page. Did anyone else notice that the reporter was citing Gizmodo as a source?
It may be more than just tech news in the future…

It’s definitely funny seeing a mainstream Singapore newspaper (Straits Times) cite a foreign blog (gizmodo) on the ongoings of a “well-loved” Singapore company (Creative)… for a few reasons:
1. ST’s getting lazy and reporting from secondary (even overseas) sources instead of pursuing the lead and getting their own primary info conveniently on their own local soil (e.g. interview w/ CEO Sim).
2. Blogs are always quicker to publish than newspapers, and by mentioning “a blog called Gizmodo (www.gizmodo.com)…”, the Straits Times succumbs to the realization that some blogs have credibility after all (RE: the debate on credibility of newspapers vs. blogs).
Ultimately though, I think this is a Good Thing?. This represents the media democracy that mass number of blogs enjoy in the company of mainstream media, which let everyone have equal share in shaping our world.
Haha. And we know how astute Paris Hilton is, with regards to her tech choices.. (c.f. Danger/T-mobile incident)

Lol, but then that wasn’t a hardware issue, it was a software issue, and T-Mobile’s fault at that…
Yes, but still.
Ok ok I should stop being bitchy about blondes, but this one.. aiyoh. Makes me want to be straight.
Adri, are you giving false hopes?!
Linux looks to Hilton for exposure!
