It so happens that I just got one of those emails. The title of the email says “Are Leftover Onions Poisonous?” Now what do I do? Do I forward it to my friends and ask for their opinions? And appear stupid if it turned out to be a hoax?

Truth or lie?



Nah, I’ll just ask Big G - which you all know as Google – and search using these parameters:
“urban legend Leftover Onions Poisonous” (keyed in the search box without the apostrophes) OR
“urban myth Leftover Onions Poisonous”

*If you keyed in the above without “urban legend/myth”, you will find many who received the same email and who are now wise (or so they think!) are warning their dear friends/readers of their doom bringing habit. Read the rest of this entry »

Google Android has been gaining massive traction in the open source handset world and has literally taken to smartphones like a storm. This year alone, HTC plans to release at least a dozen new Android devices, whereas the company was previously better known with their expensive Windows Mobile devices.

The next big thing from microprocessor manufacturer AMD (and also Intel) will be the logical progression from quad-core processors to six-core. Undoubtedly these will sell for an arm and a leg. The launch dates for these brand new spanking processors is reported to be around the June-July timeframe, with the Intel solution costing upwards of $US 1,000 a pop. On the AMD side, the Phenom II X6 performance numbers have been revealed and the results were rather disappointing.

I must admit that I am a cheapo. I almost always use open source or freeware, and rarely go for shareware or payware. And when it comes to freeware anti-virus, I usually choose among AVG Anti-Virus Free, Avira AntiVir or Avast. Usually, I have both AVG and Avira between Windows OSes (in different partitions) and across different computers. I use both on one computer because if one antivirus miss out a certain virus, there is at least a chance that the other won’t. I rarely use Avast as its gui is heavier and it’s more resource hungry than the other two.
