From dresses to handbags, diamonds to music downloads, consumers in Asia are taking to Internet shopping as never before, making the region one of the world’s fastest-growing e-commerce markets.
“I like to shop for clothes online because no sales girls will pester me,” said Cecelia Wang, a 23-year-old university student in Taipei who said she spent about 1,500 Taiwan dollars, about $43, each month on Internet purchases. “For online shopping, all I need to do is sit in my room and shop, which is great.”
Internet retailing is increasingly making its presence felt in Asia because telecommunications infrastructure has improved and payment, a major obstacle to online shopping, is increasingly secure, analysts say.
Dear valued clients, partners and friend. Please take note that the power box of our office block (not our office) caught fire and burnt into ashes (well, almost). Luckily, nobody gets hurt in this accident and the fire has been put off in time, else it could be much worse!
The fire took away our electricity supply, our phone line (thus call + broadband), and lift. The whole place smells like a over-baked Chicken BBQ.
For time being until the supply being resolved (probably takes weeks).
For sales enquiry: Please contact Ethan at +6016 238 6246 or Adrian at +6012 2187588.
Or as usual, get in touch with us via Emails:
Support@neowave.com.my for technical related issues and Sales@neowave.com.my for any sales inquiries. We will get back to you as promptly as possible.
Last but not least, all of us are still in one piece. So business as usual. As all team members are equipped with at least a laptop, they are now dispatched and now working in Mobile + SOHO mode.
As you can see, as we are internet based, such incident won’t have major impact on us. But those running retail is not as lucky as us, they are location-based and tied to all the stuff at their stores to run. Out of electricity + communication is a curse to them!
The good thing about doing an online business is, even if you migrate out of country, you can still sell stuffs from your website. So don’t wait, start off an e-commerce business now with webShaper.
burn baby, burn!
closer look, all wires are now officially turned into ashes.

I think you might well aware that for the last few months of 2008 we’ve seen lots of fiasco in the financial industry causing the word economic to go haywire.
We believe the only way to thrive is to innovate out of this slump, so you can in better position to reap rewards when turnaround happened (don’t ask, nobody knows when). We think it has never been a better time for business to venture into e-commerce. Don’t run e-commerce yet? Here’s Top 10 reasons why you should venture into e-commerce now!
Microsoft needs this video to “pyscho” their sales that Windows Vista rocks? and steve ballmer said we don’t want Windows XP ?
We just bought a new dell laptop recently, we make a request for Windows XP PRO installation and Dell insider sales rep told us the machine “must ship” with windows vista (W T F ? hello, are you listening to the customers? ). If we want Windows XP bundled, the only choice is Dell Latitude Machines, hell… i might as well get an IBM X-61 then.
None of my friends (to be fair, mostly techies) has good things to say about Vista, coz it a hog on machine resources, it’s slow… very slow… i know they have nice interface, but again, aero interface is useless if it gets in the way of completing the tasks faster. My sister got a dell desktop at home and i’m suffering big time using vista (even with 2GB of ram) until i completely turn off they eye goodies then the thing starting to get “usable” again.
Heck, we are going to install ubuntu if necessary.
oh ya btw, if your co-worker is slacking, you can use effective “threat” below to keep things moving.
Dear customers, partners and friends, please note we will be off for a Chinese New Year Break from 6th February to 10th February 2008. During this period, we might still reply email , but there will be nobody in the office picking up calls!
We will resume work on 11th February 2008. Happy New Year and Gong Xi Fatt Choy to you!
We at neowave would like to thank you for your continuous support. We wish you all the best for a wonderful Christmas and a prosperous New Year.We promise, we will continue to innnovate on our software and services to serve you better!
We are hiring! Neowave, a friendly software company which develops its own shopping cart software and e-catalogue softwares, is looking for energetic and enthusiastic webling (software developer, web designer, SEO expert etc etc) that can thrive in a fast-paced software business. Are you the one?
Surprise! Think there will never be a price hike? Don’t worry, it won’t affect most of us, at least not yet.
What’s Verisign’s “verdict” to increase the price?
1) Increasingly heavy usage on the domain name server query system – a whopping 30 billion query per day at time of writing.
2) Higher maintenance cost for security to defend cyber attacks
Look at the bright side, they seem to have a pretty solid reason to increase the price. And mostly your web hosting companies which resell the domain won’t increase their price, since domain is only an entry level products to up-sell more lucrative services like email and web hosting. Now do you understand why we mention it won’t affect most of us, at least not yet?
