Otherwise you are just embarrassing yourself. theonlinecitizen has just posted, on Facebook, a Google News link on Youth Olympics Game and saying this: virtually all of [the news reported are] from our local news outlets. The world doesn’t seem interested at all. But we’re spending almost S$400 million on it. For propensity sake, a screenshot [...]

I was alert to @litford’s tweet on a search term that was catching on. Curiously, I tried the search term “I can read Wikipedia” out (on both Google.com and Google.com.sg).

Each time I checked using Windows Live Messenger’s troubleshooter, it was the DNS (Domain Name System) that caused the trouble.

Sometimes people can be very buay hiao bai (thick-skinned and full of himself). Organisations do that too at times. But Microsoft takes the tops for this: Seriously?
