Longtime readers will start to see changes starting today as we take Neonpunch.com slightly more upscale and align it more with our sister publications Butterboom.com and Winebuzz.hk.
You’ll still get your Apple, gadget and girls fix but we’ll be mixing in style, lifestyle, nightlife, highlife, cars, timepieces and more starting today. We hope you’ll be joining us for this bold new experiment and we also want to welcome new readers into the fold.
Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher return to HK with some of their friends!
One of the biggest and best tech conferences is The D Conference – organized by two of the technology industries most respected columnists: Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher of the Wall Street Journal’s AllThingsD.com fame – are scheduled to bring their “D” stamp to Hong Kong on October 19th.
Walt and Kara brought their red chairs to Hong Kong last month, just before Social Media Week, and let us know they were scouting locations for the conference – from Cyberport to the Convention Centre to the Four Seasons. But more importantly than “where” is: WHO from Silicon Valley, will they be able to bring with them?
D Conference speakers in the past have included Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg. This Summers D conference includes other Titans of Tech like Dick Costolo, the CEO of Twitter, hometown hero Jack Ma of Alibaba.com, Andrew Mason of Groupon, Mark Pincus of Zynga and our current hero Stephen Elop, CEO of Nokia – but who will they announce that we’ll have a chance to party with in Lan Kwai Fong?
It’s time for the iPhanatics to get together again!
Bringing Hong Kong’s “Appleratti” together since March 2009, its now time again for a rousing evening of happy hour drinks, fanatical tech enthusiasts and a chance to show off your new gadgets from the House of Jobs on Tuesday, April 27th, 2010.
We’re taking the week off, we may be back next week sporadically for the rest of the month, as we’re working on a site re-design and a new focus in the Year of the Tiger that many of you have been asking for.
So see you in a bit and don’t eat too much of that white turnip cake! Thundercats: Hooooooooo!
We have made it to the future - now, when does all that sci-fi kick in?
So, we’ve finally hit a new decade: Twenty-Ten, Two-Thousand-Ten, Two-Oh-One-Oh; whatever you call it, we were expecting a lot more advances in gadgets and technology closer to Minority Report and further away from The Road Warrior - but we still think we’re heading into an exciting and revolutionary year for gadgets!
While we have yet to make contact with aliens or power up our flying cars, this year at Neonpunch we plan to bring you more great coverage of the gadget scene around the world with a focus on Hong Kong; deliver the products we talk about through our new Neonpunch Shop (opening soon); and getting more involved in helping to shape the future of gadgets coming your way (more on that later.)
