Vending Machine on Busway Shelter

Spotted this at Bendungan Hilir busway shelter.
 
There’s also one at Karet and maybe at other shelters too. The one at Karet has been there a fair while though, I’ve just never had to go there.
 
 Two Coke girls were minding the machine helping to explain to people what it is and how to use it. It just dawned on me that these things are not common in Jakarta.
 
I didn’t get to buy anything because my bus was arriving but there is a warning saying you’re not allowed to consume food nor drinks in the bus.
 
It was just yesterday though that I saw a newspaper vending machine for Koran Jakarta at Sarinah just outside McDonalds.

Google Mobile App Ninja

It’s been known that Google employs pigeons to generate results for its search pages but their latest scheme in hiring oddball staff seem to hit a different note this time.
Using its latest version of Google Mobile Apps for iPhone OS, Google thought they could unleash ninjas into unsuspecting iPhone and iPod touch owners. We all know Google hires the best brains on the planet but apparently they missed the note about ninjas operating in stealth mode. Announcing them this way is rather ineffective to say the least.
On the other hand, maybe they’re just making you think they have ninjas now but have had them since the start. 
Speaking of the latest version, they also proudly tell you that it now features “Longer version number”
Update your Google Mobile App from the App Store today

Stupid Twitter Apps

Starting to get annoyed by Twitter applications that don’t respect in-reply-to hooks. This lack of recognition by apps such as Twitterberry, mobile tweete, and slandr, breaks the conversational chains and makes it difficult to follow them.

Twitter implemented reply chains a long time ago. All good Twitter apps have added this support, why not those?
