M1 enters fixed broadband market with speeds of up to 100Mbps

SINGAPORE, 4 August 2008 – Singaporeans will now be able to cruise the information superhighway with a new fixed broadband service operated by M1.

Offering a mobile broadband service since 2006, M1 will become a full fledged broadband player when it introduces M1 Fixed Broadband from tomorrow.

M1 Fixed Broadband is available to all homes with cable access points or which are cable ready. The service is capable of achieving download speeds of up to 100 Mbps and upload speeds of up to 2 Mbps.

“M1 is repositioning itself for the future as it develops new businesses anchored on our core competencies. The launch of M1 Fixed Broadband is an important step in our planned transformation from a single-play mobile operator to a dynamic multi-play operator with interests in both the mobile and fixed sectors. The proliferation of the Internet and the increasing demand for Internet bandwidth also make this an opportune entry into the fixed broadband market,” said Neil Montefiore, Chief Executive Officer of M1.

M1 will launch its fixed broadband service with four unlimited data plans based on varying Internet access speeds. Providing customers faster speeds for less, the monthly subscription fee starts from as low as $40.60 for existing M1 customers*. Customers will also be offered a plug-and-play cable modem as part of the launch promotion when they sign up for the service.

It looks exciting. The prices also look competitive. I’m M1 mobile user, kekeke. But I will wait and see how the response is from the public first. By the way, I checked out the link listed there at 0514am, there is no relevant info there……

Morgan Freeman Seriously Injured In Car Accident

This is bad! I like Morgan Freeman. I like his acting. He is one of the few veterans that I really like. Though I doesn’t always got the main leading role, he always gave his best to the audience.

Morgan, get well soon!

Dr Rohana Ariffin and her former student Rachel Samuel, from Malaysia, interviewed 90 rapists in 4 prisons in Malaysia to find out their perception and attitudes towards women, sexual history and experiences. Their findings were published in a handbook, Rapist & Rape – Who & Why.

Can normal people ever understand why rapists rape?

Did Dawn Yang Learn From PM Lee? Is That An Honest Mistake?

I am referring to what Dawn had said in this reports:
Netizens accuse Dawn Yang of plagiarism
Netizens accuse her of plagiarism

Quoted:

“I apologise to all my readers. I didn’t do this intentionally,” she said.

She said that at the time she posted the entries, she didn’t really think citations were necessary.

“It didn’t cross my mind that I was doing something wrong,” she said.

Why it sounds so similar to the famous “This is an honest mistake. Let’s move on.” sentence to me?

Anyway, I feel that it is so lame to “didn’t cross my mind that I was doing something wrong”. If you read, you digest, you rephrase your words/sentences, you write your articles, people may think that you copy the idea, but it is still acceptable by many. But copying word by word? Sentence by sentence? That is so stupid, and kind of insulting the readers.

THIS IS SO FREAKING TERRIBLE!

She Wants A Divorce Because He Broke His Penis

Grigory Toporov’s wife was not happy with his penis and performance on bed, so he went for a operation to fit in a penis extension. Then after that, the extension broke when he was having sex with his wife. Now the wife wants to divorce……

Stupid fella! When girls love you no more, they can come up with all kinds of reasons, silly reasons!

I told her I would get a new one but she wasn’t having any of it. She said she was fed up with my failures in bed and wants a divorce,
