What the new iPad announcements didn’t tell you
The new iPad has been grabbing the consumer tech headlines. But should you run over across the causeway or contact that long-lost cousin of yours who’s coming into town for a visit to buy you one? To help you decide, you’ll need to consider some factors that weren’t front and centre during the initial iPad announcements, and this might impact your decision.
Mobile trends and us
The world's largest gathering of all things mobile and wireless dubbed the Mobile World Congress (MWC) concluded some two weeks ago and there were tons of announcements made. But while these announcements are all nice and dandy, what do some of these major showcases mean to the average Malaysian?
IT grads and jobs: A serious dichotomy
THE Malaysian Information and Communications Technology (ICT) industry is facing one of its greatest challenges and strangest dichotomies: A lack of skilled workers and a glut of jobs. In essence, there are too many jobs out there not being filled, while you get complaints that too many graduates cannot find jobs. DNA explores how we got to this impasse.
Enterprises urged to embrace new work-life paradigm
The old computing paradigm -- where employees are based in a fixed premise, are issued devices connected over a wired network and utilize premise-based applications built over monolithic architectures -- is passing away.
Event planning made easy
Yusno Yunos and his wife Noamifarah Rahimuddin faced a lot of stress in 2007 when planning their wedding. Determined to help other couples, they gave birth to their brainchild in 2010 -- Evenesis Event Management System, a web-based software that can help you effectively manage your events in a holistic manner.
Glut of ICT grads, glut of jobs
The ICT sector in Malaysia faces several challenges that will likely impair its ability to compete effectively in an increasingly globalized world and perhaps even threaten the nation’s economic transformation. These challenges include the lack of a resource pool due to a shrinking enrolment in ICT courses, the general declining technical quality of such graduates, the lack of communication and critical thinking skills amongst these students, and the irrelevance of some courses being taught at local universities, say industry pundits.
ICT grads: Some suggestions
In tackling the ICT grad issue, whilst tertiary education including institutions of higher learning and their quality has been the center of focus and debate, it should be apparent that this aspect of the academic journey comprises only a fraction of a student’s entire academic lifespan.
