Jasmine - Youtube client on iPhone

To contact us Click HERE


I am a great fan of browser based stuff so I don't have to install a *special* app for doing the same task.

For example, the original Youtube app bundled with iOS (before iOS6) was a waste and it doesn't even offer HD content. On the other hand Safari lets you choose HD option.

Recently I see many people started using Jasmine. I was told that this is from Jason Morrissey (yeah, the guy behind Alien Blue) so thought of giving it a try.

I must say, the first look itself is pretty impressive. The interface is simple & elegant. The focus is on "search" functionality. I felt that somehow it is rather fast compared to browser based youtube, and also the playback is smooth.

Now the bad part, is you'll lose the options in Youtube. i.e. the browser based search queries, , long, recent, etc. Also it doesn't let you sort by date, popularity etc. So end up going back to browser based :)

However if there is an app which is simple, elegant & easy for youtube, then Jasmine will be at the top. You can try it @  iTunes.

M1 did it again. 200Mbps FTTx SGD 49/month

Source; M1 Promotions

Just after an year or so since we saw $ 29 / 50Mbps; $39/100 Mbps, M1 started the price war again with $49/200Mbps plan.

Wait.. The 49 includes, Home Fixed voice services & Mobile broadband data service (for your tab or iPad). With the current bundled plans of 2GB mobile data it makes perfect sense to subscribe to a separate data plan for tab and this is where I believe M1 is aiming.

Ofcourse, the question is how *FAST* the 200Mbps can take us to internet highway. The problem in Singapore is the content is not hosted locally (even with massive Peta Bytes of Cache from SingTel, Google) so the overseas internet bandwidth is important and this is where we need to improve .

I've always loved this spot. In fact I may have blogged about them earlier.
You always get a bruschetta board. Get the tomato jam+cheese, Smoked Salmon+Pesto, Roasted pepper+Goat cheese and prosciutto+fig and cheese.



Also, the beauty of this place is that it has a great happy hour. I mean who does not love happy hour. So while you are at it.. Get a pitcher of Hoegaarten with the bruschetta board.

Their sandwiches are good too and I am a personal fan of the autostrada on a ciabatta.

Hope you love this place! If not, shoot me a note and we shall discuss!

S'mores and more!

To contact us Click HERE
Frank and alberts. Fantastic food! Good drinks and great service. Now this doesn't come cheap but it is so worth it!

We had hand rubbed pork ribs with homemade corn biscuit and red beans and salmon with panchetta and spinach.

They also have complete meals that are paired with beer!

Try the Frank and Albert's lemonade.

Now this is one thing I do not want you to miss!




S'more cooked table-side. How fantastic (and delish) is that!!! We ordered the Frank and Albert sampler also which was 4 tiny cups of mostly Ben and Jerry's ice cream with nice homemade whipped cream and fruit bits made into small sundaes! Fantastic!

I might just come back for their great service and their deserts!
