Early Demise

While the Singaporean team was reshuffled to various departments, Angelina George the editor of the Malaysian edition was made Group Sub Editor. Michael Chiang has stayed on to be Editorial Consultant. The last issue of the magazine was published in October 2008.[1]

gollark: What if it makes, say, 100 transactions for 1 currency unit to get around that?
gollark: Basically payment is very hard.
gollark: You need the PIN and card, but I don't know if there's anything stopping it from displaying "please authorize a £10 transaction" then actually *making* a £100 one.
gollark: Real payment systems partly get around this by making the chip on the card itself do some cryptography, so it can't make payments without the card being physically there still, but I don't think there's actually anything other than trust, the law, and "security" through obscurity stopping a payment thing from deducting more money than it should?
gollark: Obviously that's not very good.
