The Browser Wars; Which One is Best?

Posted on June 28, 2012 by Percy Kwong

I’ve always believed competition is good.  It breed ingenuity, evolution, and value for the customer.  Mostly, it comes in the form of price and features.  There has always been one special niche of the competitive space I’ve always found interesting; The Web Browser. When they first came out, they went from free to pay to…

What happened to “Human” in Humanity?

Posted on June 24, 2012 by Percy Kwong

I really do need to ask this question.  I appreciate my followers and yes, they’re a loyal bunch.  I do need to EVERYBODY one question and everyone on the Internet. We all go about our lives.  We see the homeless person at the exit ramp, on the sidewalk, etc.  Granted a lot of them are…

The Perfect Home Office.

Posted on June 19, 2012 by Percy Kwong

I’ve struggled with that question in the past. I can say truthfully that having both was a royal pain in the butt.   Keeping data synced wasn’t fun, nor was the electricity bill.  Me being me always had the solution so it was never a big deal to just vpn into my home network to get…

Privacy on your Smartphone a solution for all

Posted on June 17, 2012 by Percy Kwong

I’ve recently written an article on smartphones only to think about a few things.  One of the things I thought about was the fact that nobody has created a VPN service that is truly anonymous (as in not keeping logs) for smartphones.
