Apple has just unveiled the most powerful Macintosh ever made in history – the iMac Pro. It’s the Frankenstein child of Apple’s desktop lines, taking after the insanely powerful internals of the 2013 “Trash Can” Mac Pro and merging them with the svelte, compact body of the 5K iMac. After the unfortunate decline and mismanagement of the 2013 “Trash Can” Mac Pro, can Apple win back its audience of hardcore designers and creatives with this all-in-one beast?

Microsoft has just launched Windows 10 S, a stripped-down version of Windows 10 streamlined towards use in the education sector. Windows 10 S is not an update to Windows 10, but a separate version to be installed in school classroom computers or student laptops. This could be huge in Singapore, especially since our society is so focused on education and learning. So, why is this new operating system so great for education? Let’s take a look.

The internet is a great thing. What’s even greater is when you have a very fast connection, and everything loads almost instantly. The faster the internet speed, the faster your downloads will be. However, your internet speed might not be as fast as what you think it is.

1. Google vs Baidu (百度) Many of you are probably familiar with Google. Anything dunno? Just Google lah! But the Chinese (from China) would not be able to do that. The Chinese Government has blocked many western sites because of their Policy of Internet Censorship. China does not want its people to be "badly" influenced by the "outside world". Today, only Hong Kong is not affected by China's Internet Policy, where most of the Chinese laws do not apply.
Baidu has been around for 16 solid years. Over this period, many tech experts have lined Baidu up against the almighty Google. Being the dominant search engine in China, Baidu ranks 5th in the Alexa most popular site in the world, thanks to the sheer number of Chinese! But, how powerful is it? It's great. And investors love it. Baidu has been very successful since their founder Robin Li started the company back in 2000, getting sponsors from Silicon Valley, building the most powerful computer cluster, providing ad space (even before Google), having their own encyclopedia, and the list goes on.
