A Chance To Bring Your Idea To Live

Well, technically it is your idea for a mobile app. Have you ever faced a scenario where you would have wished someone has written a mobile app for that? Back in the heyday before mobile phone turned smart, I always have this frustration of having a tune playing in my head but can't seems to remember what song it is. Nowadays, one can easily find out what song is that by just humming the tune to mobile app like Shazam or SoundHound.

Going Green With Digi Minus

I went to the presentation about going green in D'House, Shah Alam. Kucha pecha style. What I got is that we human has over consume the energy and natural resources of the earth by 1.3 earth. Which means 1 earth is now not enough to support our consumption, thus we are drying our earth. Sooner or later, (most probably quite soon) earth will be dying and so will us. Just by looking at the unpredictable weather and natural disasters happening recently, it's a tell tale signs from Mother Nature that the earth is very sick.

Digi as one of the big coporation in Malaysia did a lot of effort to help in the cause of putting back the green resources to earth. Paying back what we've used. Digi already started to go green internally by motivating their employees to car pool, those that car pool can use the car park inside the building. Discouraging from printing by putting a 12 key code to print. Encouraging customer to opt for e-billing instead of the traditional paper billing by giving rebate. There's a lot more effort like the new data center that is design with energy savings in mind.
