Computer Tan?

We have some pretty strange uses for computers these days don't we? There is a website called Computertan.com that was set up solely to to warn of the effects and dangers of skin cancer and other diseases due to tanning beds and other things.

The site even says that users can download software that makes their screens produce ultraviolet rays! Look out, now we won't even have to go outside for a tan.

Skin cancer is the most common form of the disease in young adults, and that is who computertan is targeting. You really never know what you will get next in the computer world.

Also, I wanted to refer us all to one of my favorite sites for browsing computers. Check it out and see how its personalized to our Singapore area.

Internet Use in Singapore

Earlier today, comScore released an overview of web usage in Singapore and the results may influence the way that computers are being marketed to Singaporeans. Apparently, a quarter of Internet time spent by Singaporeans is for instant messaging. Only 2 percent of Internet use lies in the realm of web searching/informational.

As netbooks and other sub-computers increase their market share in other parts of the world, the same should hold true in Singapore, where net-related activities dominate computer usage and helping to cater to the communication/IM fix in Singapore can only help computer manufacturers' prospects for the future.
