Five things about Wi-Fi

1. Wi-Fi ranges 30 metres

How far a Wi-Fi signal is transmitted depends on the number of wireless access points and also the type used. Typically, each point has a range of about 30 metres, but these can be interrupted by simple things like pillars and walls, so the position of the router is also important.

2. Causes of interference

There are various things that can interfere with a Wi-Fi signal. The biggest culprit is the humble microwave oven. This is because microwaves use the 2.4 GHz band, which can interfere with routers on the same bandwidth. Microwaves also emit a very high amount of energy, which affects your network. Older cordless phones could also cause interference as they operate on the same frequency.

3. It’s possible to boost your range

Since most Wi-Fi signals don't have the greatest reach, you may not get the best reception if you're not close to a router. But fret not – it's possible to extend a signal's range. All you need is a Wi-Fi range extender. Just plug in the gadget and watch Wi-Fi-dead zones spring to life.

4. Switch to Wi-Fi to save

Having a data plan with your mobile provider is useful for convenient internet access, but costs can quickly add up if you go beyond your cap. If you're the type who loves watching videos on your phone or looking at image-heavy sites, such as Vine or Tumblr, switch to mobile Wi-Fi when you can – it’ll save you money by not using your phone data.

5. New Wi-Fi plans available

There are Wi-Fi-enabled mobile plans now available in Singapore, with SingTel being the first in Asia to offer it. Under such a plan, you'll receive a 2GB data bundle with an additional 2GB of high-speed Wi-Fi usage. And, if you sign up for the plan soon, you'll get to enjoy unlimited Wi-Fi usage until 31 July 2015.

We might be comfortable using it every day, but it’s good to know the ins and outs of using mobile Wi-Fi.

When the world’s thinnest mechanical watch merges the calibre with its case | SEA Buzz - Yahoo News Singapore

2014 is a vintage year for Piaget! The Maison is celebrating its 140th anniversary and marks the occasion by launching a model that is set to defy the conventions of ultra-thin Fine Watchmaking for many years to come: the Altiplano 38 mm 900P. While clearly geared towards cutting-edge innovation, it is also a nod to history, since it gets the 900P part of its name from Calibre 9P, which was the first ultra-thin hand-wound movement made by Piaget in 1957. That particular mechanism measured just 2 mm thin and sealed Piaget’s destiny in the field of ultra-thin horology. By 1960, Piaget was ready to set a first record with its Calibre 12P, the world’s thinnest automatic movement at just 2.3 mm. The following years witnessed a spate of new slimness records in the fields of hand-wound and automatic models, with or without horological complications – like Calibre 600P, the world’s thinnest hand-wound shaped tourbillon movement; and 1208P, an automatic movement that was also the thinnest in its category, to mention just a couple of these feats.

How to create a Tumblr blog .

Introduction

Tumblr is built around seven key post types: text, photos, links, quotes, chat, audio, and video. Be sure to customize your theme around these types so that your posts show up beautifully on your blog, on the Dashboards of your followers, and on other blogs when they’re reblogged.

Try to avoid posting external images and embedded media in text posts. It’s less engaging on the Dashboard and can be problematic with custom themes. Instead, create a video post for a video, a photo post for photos, and so on and so forth.
