Perhaps I haven't encounter games and apps optimized for Retinal Display yet???</li><li>The sensitivity of the touchscreen... I had to say it's supersensitive... a little touch is good enough for it to register with minimal mis-register...</li><li>The effect... I had to say iOS has the best beautiful transition effects... changing menu, opening apps, all have its own effect...</li><li>The look and reputation... like I said earlier, ppl will "WOW" and it looks so expensive...</li><li>Touch Focus!!! OMG, this is something new... I dont know if any Android have this, but it's very cool... to let your camera focus on the object, touch it... fuuuuuuuuuuu.....<br /></li></ol><br />The so-so:-<br /><ol><li>Battery life... I dont think the battery life is something amazing... but good enough... full charge can last me till night... around 12hrs.... for a new battery, I will be mad if it's less than that with my usage (facebook, twitter, sms... mainly internet)</li><li>The function... for a mere phone, it's as good as other phones... can sms, mms, make calls, receive calls... download apps for some additional features to improve your experience like games, multimedia... while Apps Store has large chunk of apps to download, Android Market does this too...</li><li>The charging time... I had a feeling it's not any faster compare to other phones... well, i'm charging on USB anyway, of course it is... 500mA isn't gonna do much... though the 1A power adapter is pretty fast... but if charging for 3 - 4 hours gonna last you next 12 hours, i have no grudge about it...</li></ol><br />The negative about iPhone:-<br /><ol><li>One serious thing, why the heck we can't choose the network we want to be on??? I mean, it's ok you only want to put us on Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, Maxis, DiGi, Celcom.... heck, I dont care anymore... back and forth they're almost the same (at least Maxis, DiGi and Celcom) but when you dont give us a chance to choose to be on UMTS or GSM, that hurts me you know... the bad thing about phones/mobile broadband modem is, they dont have enough intelligence when not to prefer higher bandwidth signal...</li><ul><li>Like when you had one bar of 3G signal and comparing to 4 bar of EDGE, you should always prefer EDGE compare to 3G but most device will still prefer 3G and end up sucky connection, this is the thing that happening to iPhone 4<br /></li><li>Some device might even always prefer to slower EDGE connection even 3G signal is good in the area just because EDGE has stronger signal while 3G signal will provide better bandwidth... however this wasn't the case with iPhone...</li><li>With other phone like Nokia that I used before (heck even mobile broadband modems too) will let us choose to use between UMTS or GSM or just let the phone choose... because of device auto preference is always stupid, I choose UMTS for the whole time unless I'm traveling far away...</li><li>Somehow in iPhone this thing is missing and it's killing me when it keeps on switching between UMTS and GSM. Ok, Jailbraking will solve the problem but that's not my option... my old Nokia dont even have to be hacked for me to have this options...<br /></li></ul><li>The OS... while it's one of the most beautiful aesthetically, it's one of the inefficient way of implementation... especially the multi-tasking (but I really prefer to call it fast app switching instead...)</li><ul><li>Apple somehow have high confidence that their phone won't crash even when the memory overloaded like what happened to Nokia's Symbian... the thing is, you can't quit your apps... you have to terminate it... it's like when you running Microsoft Office on your computer, you dont have the "X" button on your top right, but instead you only have minimize button... to close the apps, please open the task manager and select the apps you want to close, click End Process.... very tedious... I still dont know what magical approach they did, but hey, I opened all my apps and never quit them, the phone is still not lagging... I got to give them compliment on that anyway... but the way they manage the task is not really good I think... I never had tested the Android's multitasking... so I can't really comment on it... But I do think iOS implementation is slightly worse than Symbians, solely because Symbian allows us to quit the apps properly rather than leaving it suspended...</li></ul><li>The standardization</li><ul><li>You can't use MP3 as ringtones, you can't change your text tones (unless jailbroken), you can't do this, you can't do that... seriously, this "no-choice-on-user" policy is getting more and more annoying...<br /></li></ul></ol>So, as conclusion... iPhone might be good if you dont even use all of the options you have in your previous phones... but for me who will go and change every single possible options and settings (of course, without hacking) will cry over the lacking of options... yes, less options might be better for those who don't like to choose over choices they dont understand but it will annoy certain users who loves customization, personalization and certain critical options like network signal selection...<br /><br />Who should own an iPhone:-<br /><ol><li>The person who don't even care about the hardware of the device (CPU, RAM, ROM etc)</li><li>The person who don't care about all those options he have and don't like to make decision on his own... always depends on others decision...</li><li>The person who think he is sophisticated, cool, and great by owning an overrated, expensive device that will not let you make decision...</li></ol>I'm sorry iPhone cultist and fanboys... it's just not for me... though the fact that I already own it with 2 years contract, I had to live with it and make something good out of it... I'm pretty sure there's a lot more thing that can be done with this device, but for me it's more like "iPhone is iPod Touch + phone" rather than "iPod touch is iPhone without phone"...<br /><br />yes, i see iPhone as the extension of iPod Touch... not the other way around like before anymore....<br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">This review is done with iPhone 4 updated to iOS4.3 in hand....</span>master_red_lionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04442836810585629224noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4150270893941768009.post-13705897708184547202011-02-11T22:10:00.002+08:002011-02-11T22:55:49.665+08:00What's the difference in wheel size???Last week my baby is glad to receive it's new wheel and new pair of shoes too... the OEM 15" wheels is swapped with 16" OEM from Neo CPS (a recplica of Advanti's Medusa from JRD???)<br /><br />The front pair is wrapped with new Continental SportContact-1 195/50/16 while the other rear pair is wrapped with used Silverstone Synergy M5 205/45/16 transferred from our family's old Wira... based on my hand lifting, the Neo CPS wheel is definitely lighter than Gen2's OEM 15" which actually surprised me a lot considering it is OEM wheels rather than some super lightweight aftermarket wheels...<br /><br />So, many might have been wondering... Does changing to a bigger wheel really do have impacts on handling performance of a car??? Well, to answer that questions let's watch the video below....<br /><br /><object height="390" width="480"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/o6Glkf4jwkM?fs=1&hl=en_US"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/o6Glkf4jwkM?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="390" width="480"></embed></object><br /><br /><br />I experienced the same thing... even though I'm just changing from 15" to 16" instead of 18" to 19", but the feeling is more or less the same...<br /><br />my recent drives with the wheels pretty interesting. Some of my expectations were met, and some of them are not...<br /><br />So, what did I expect???<br /><br />1. Lesser body roll<br />2. harsher ride/less comfort<br />3. better handling<br />4. lacking in acceleration<br />5. lacking in top speed<br />6. worse FC<br />7. inaccurate speedometer<br />8. Doesn't look that good as I have never liked a car with dark rims anyway...<br /><br />so, the results???<br /><br />1. to some extent, I did sense a little less body roll... but it is very very very minimal... I'd say if you're looking for body roll reduction, go for front+rear ARB plus adjustable suspension setup. though I dont know if we go for really really low aspect ratio tyres will it improve significantly at the cost of comfort...<br /><br />2. harsher ride/less comfort indeed... since the OEM 195/55/15 is pretty high on the aspect ratio, the sidewall helps in absorbing the road harshness too... So, with lower profile dont expect the comfort going to improve... It won't... though I'd say the harshness excites me; except when I met a pothole... It's a pain when thinking about what torture the wheels received...<br /><br />3. better handling performance... I'd say to some extend is true, though I'd sense it's a little hard to control the steering after the change... it seems to be like whatever harshness on the road can change the direction of the wheels... steering wheel get pretty sensitive and somehow become a little lighter/easier to turn the wheels... though I can feel the car hold on to the road better than before... I've tried one night pushing to the limit (that after I did I scare the shit of myself XP) i though I'm gonna understeer straight into the bushes, but i didn't... the tyre actually screaming but the car going as the steering directed it... pretty impressive i'd say... could be my tyre combo too preventing the understeer... :P<br /><br />4. i dont know if this is true especially after almost everyone complaining about this, but I dont feel it... I just dont feel the loss of power here until I hit the top speed... I still feel the same acceleration as I felt before the change... it's either there are really no changes or my right legs just become heavier compensating the power loss... but, for the sake of being positive and optimistic about myself, I'd say there are really no changes...<br /><br />5. Lacking in top speed... this one definitely is.... before changes I manage to hit 185km/h as claimed by Proton... but with this wheel, I can only hit 175km/h and that's it... the speed stay there....<br /><br />6. Fuel consumption... I was a little worried when I was in the highway... but yeah, I drive pretty hard to push the car to its limit to test the handling so thinking back it's not really weird to have a very bad FC up there... but until today, I'd say there's only very minimal difference or there's no difference at all... it's almost the same with 15"...<br /><br />7. I was concerned with this too... but because of my choice of tyre, the difference is minimal... based on the calculation I am supposed to be faster 1% compare to the speedometer... however, my GPS shows the same speed as speedometer... though I'd say that 1% is well within GPS tolerance so it might not shows up on the GPS anyway...<br /><br />8. aesthetic wise, heck it's even better... once the set of wheels is fitted to my car, I dont want to take it off anymore... it just looks too good compare to 15" OEM XD<br /><br />9. the unexpected side effect is, it seems to be the problems of weird brake sounds with old 15" OEM having less occurrence with new wheels... I was suspecting the weird brake sounds before is due to the brakes heating up coupled with problematic pads... but right now it seems to be the wheels have cooling effect on the brakes???<br /><br />all in all, after driving with stock wheels for like 1.5years I had to change my driving styles a little bit to accommodate new handling characteristics of new wheels... even changing to bigger wheels does improve a little bit on the handling but I think it is minimal and not very significant... I would say spending the money to fit in all those Ultra Racing bars have a lot more significant improvement on handling and lucky me to get this set of wheels for free and only pay for RM120 for rubbers... XD<br /><br />plus, considering the price of the rubbers also will make you have headache... and thinking about those potholes on the road of Malaysia, seriously it can make you cry...master_red_lionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04442836810585629224noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4150270893941768009.post-39715690665392058962011-01-13T23:40:00.000+08:002011-01-13T23:44:21.727+08:00I Need A Girl~~~<object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/gnvH1iMRAdU?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/gnvH1iMRAdU?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object>master_red_lionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04442836810585629224noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4150270893941768009.post-45319098796225841922011-01-06T00:19:00.004+08:002011-01-06T01:00:26.534+08:00Scamming???A phone conversation...<br /><br />Promoter: Hi, saya dari bla bla bla sdn bhd, saya call nih nk menerangkan la tentang satu polisi kami bla bla bla...

I'm surprised.<br /><br />2. they just take my particulars without me agreeing whether they should charge me or not, and then wanna charge me... yes, stupid of me also didn't ask first when I was asked about my particulars. But I can see this as a way of twisting words with unknowing people...<br /><br />3. Not that I'm denying health/life insurance policy is good for you, especially what they offered me. I am actually about to accept the offer after listening to the explained benefit. But when you act suspiciously, I will seriously back off from the deal. The thing is, when it's too good to be true, It might have been a fantasy after all.<br /><br />4. Seeing that, I am actually felt pretty stupid with me giving them some particulars, but the truth is I had no money in the said bank account. go on, charge if you can.<br /><br />5. what makes me sad, this kind of business is conducted by an established group (as per claimed by the promoter)... kinda lost my trust with them now...master_red_lionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04442836810585629224noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4150270893941768009.post-74737431789898861252011-01-01T19:00:00.004+08:002011-01-01T19:08:58.384+08:00ehem....

T~T<br /><br />and I wonder, RON97 subsidy per liter is only 5cent??? and the government already make a very big fuss over that??? let's count... hmmm... let's just say, on average 1 citizen in Malaysia have 1 car (yeah, some might have 2 or 3 cars, or might even 5... but let's just put it on AVERAGE, OK???) and we have 28millions people (according to Wikipedia)... so, as per liter; RM0.05x28m = RM1.4m...<br /><br />so, now let's just say on average, peoples in Malaysia spend 130liters of petrol per month, government will save 130xRM1.4m = RM182m per month... perrgghhhhh... that's a lot... and I wonder where will this RM 182m will go after this???

Terengganu dont even have budgets for bumpy-roller-coaster road repairs... those "Stadium Runtuh" is still there (let's put the blame on those Ultraman and Raksasa for that XD)...<br /><br />ouh, they also promise other stuff price will not shoot up... well, let's just see like this... let's just say (ok, i dont know the exact value, but let's just say as an example) 30 litres of fuel is needed to ship one container of goods from KL to Terengganu... so, for one trip now the cost has gone up RM1.50... and how does those tokey lorry absorb this extra cost? and what will it leads too?<br /><br />ouh, I forgot... those tokey lorry already promise not to increase the transportation cost... they'll absorb all the cost... well, F&N Dairies already considering to mark up their goods' prices... not even 24hours have passed... oh, i forgot too... those so called persatuan-pengusaha-mknn-bla-bla-bla already promised not to mark up their pricing too... will those be possible???<br /><br />i think it is indeed possible... not to increase the transportation cost, they might thinking shipping extra goods in one trip... pushing the limit of the weight... we might see more turtled lorry after this due to overweight issue??? let's just hope not...<br /><br />ouh, those pengusaha-mknn-bla-bla-bla... we'll see honey-i-shrunk-the-kids version of roti canai, less nasi and mee in nasi and mee goreng, what's more???<br /><br />it's just my prediction... history tell me the same story of his over and over again... i wonder how this time will be any different???master_red_lionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04442836810585629224noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4150270893941768009.post-77004512060695245002010-07-13T22:53:00.002+08:002010-07-13T22:58:37.205+08:00Guess what???aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa............ bored... bored... bored... *headbang*<br /><br />dont know what to write... need to think first what to write... but still want to write sumthing... so that nobody will write on my wall with date just to remind me to update this blog... hahaha...<br /><br />my life now has been more in KB instead of KL... arrgghhhh... quite stressed traveling like this... it's tiring... *uhhhh*master_red_lionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04442836810585629224noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4150270893941768009.post-4249558839308102892010-07-01T23:12:00.002+08:002010-07-01T23:20:57.495+08:00After almost three months...ok... ok... i know... blew first...

I got cleaning project for my baby...<br /><br />common problem with Campro CPS engine is the lube oil sometimes overflow at the cap and messing the outside of the engine... just look at the 'before' pictures to see what I meant... so, I guess i should clean up a little bit and i was thinking to DIY...<br /><br />got the degreaser from Giant... and prepared some water + shampoo (Sunsilk is used here, so my baby's engine smells so damn nice XD)<br /><br />Before:<br /><br /><p align="center"><img style="width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t181/ampentium2/My%20Baby/18022010017.jpg" /><br /><br /><img style="width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t181/ampentium2/My%20Baby/18022010018.jpg" /><br /></p><br /><br /><br />After:<br /><br /><p align="center"><img style="width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t181/ampentium2/My%20Baby/18022010019.jpg" /><br /><br /><img style="width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t181/ampentium2/My%20Baby/18022010020.jpg" /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">can see the difference from here</span></p><br />The results:<br /><br />The top engine cover is very clean now... However, there's plastic part of the cover (which I though a piece of painted metal initially) and the degreaser seems to damage the coating of the plastic... not sure how will that effect the beauty of the cover in long term... huhu...<br /><br />what so ever, the engine bay is now looking very nicemaster_red_lionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04442836810585629224noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4150270893941768009.post-6177790818882470442010-02-09T23:12:00.002+08:002010-02-09T23:15:56.669+08:00Why why why???Why u haven't update ur blog for the last 2 weeks haaaa??? hahahaha...<br /><br />the truth is, my life has been so boring that i have nothing to write here... everyday 24/7 in my mind is all work related... it's boring... there's even one time i was thinking to quit my job and become a business man... hahaha~~~<br /><br />anyway, i am so looking forward to this coming holiday of CNY... can have holiday at home at last... so gooooodddddddd.... tired of those works... especially the project that haven't finished and can't be finished because lacking information... arrghhh...master_red_lionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04442836810585629224noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4150270893941768009.post-72047662618795308972010-01-24T00:20:00.005+08:002010-01-24T00:35:31.590+08:00Few Bugs Noticed on 5800XM V40 firmware...Yup... I noticed a few bugs already... but all are minor in my opinion... except one that could shorten the life span of a component...<br /><br />1. While charging, sometimes they dont dim and put out the LCD backlight. I need to unlock and leave it there so that the autoguard will take care of the dimming and putting out the backlight... This most likely to happen when you put in the charger while the phone is already locked...<br /><br />2. The lock release backlighting back came back... What I mean is, let's say the phone's lock and screen is black... then you pull out the charger so the backlight comes on to show a notification... then when you immediately unlock ur phone it will goes dark... then u'll have to lock it again and unlock it again... this bug was partially fixed on V31 where it doesn't always happen except with accessory putting in or out...<br /><br />3. The phone perfoms sluggishly at startup... seems to be like the new home screen hogging most of the resources while starting up... but after a while, it works faster than before... touch response has improved... more sensitive... handwriting recognition is a little bit better than before but still a pain in the ass... ouh, handwriting got it's own bug actually... they sometimes can select and overwrite the previous text...<br /><br />4. Yup, the new home screen is great... but the contact bar doesn't response to sliding in manner... sometimes they misintrepret the slide as a click... it's slightly painful to use that feature...<br /><br />5. This isn't really a bug... but it's a very big problem to us user of 5800XM now... the protection has improved too much and now it can't be hacked... and i think somehow they got a list of blacklisted supplier of apps... so, certain cracked software can't be installed... still not sure how to overcome this... but yeah, it's a pain in the a$$...master_red_lionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04442836810585629224noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4150270893941768009.post-45529892523349026382010-01-24T00:12:00.002+08:002010-01-24T00:19:53.620+08:00I sux bad tonite...as we all know, 5800XM is a very buggy phone... thus, before the comes of v40 I had a very bad experience with all the bugs in the phone... But I dont bother to do anything about it since it won't solve anything... ironic isn't it??? doing nothing to solve everyhting... hahahaha...<br /><br />anyway, my phone has accumulated some problems although not major yet annoying the eye looking upon it... two icons of the same apps... this all because of few updates done by the nokia...<br /><br />so, since I already update to new firmware i guess a hard reset would be good to identify new bugs and solved bugs... hard reset is a pretty much like a process where you format your phone and re-install the OS... literally, it's returning the phone to factory setting...<br /><br />anyway, since I want a fresh restart I also want to format the memory card... so, I made some backup on my important files on the phone... and guess what??? I though I backed up everything, yet I dont... I lose my videos, South Park Season 13, and my work folders (which contains my CV...) and this is totally sucks...<br /><br />Silly me, I though I backed up everything... EVERYTHING!!!! yet everything's gone... arrrgggghhhhhhh.... and i'm actually stressed out... since all those data is actually from my crashed SATA HDD... stupid stupid stupid...master_red_lionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04442836810585629224noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4150270893941768009.post-7882193537985565062010-01-21T22:01:00.003+08:002010-01-21T22:34:42.801+08:00Nokia 5800XM Received Its Major Update!!!!Yeahhhhh... The long awaited firmware update from Nokia!!!!! The best feature update from Nokia for it's most famous handphone, Nokia 5800 XpressMusic numbered as V40.0.005...<br /><br />As we all know, most 5800XM user have been dreaming for Kinetic Scrolling when all other Nokia's touch screen phone have this feature. Even with same hardware spec as other Nokia's touch screen phone (including N97) but being the first touch screen phone seems to be like Nokia made this phone as their experiments with new Symbian S60V5 Platform...<br /><br />Coming along side by side with Kinetic Scrolling in this firmware update is also the long awaited new Home Screen... New Home Screen now features shortcuts bar accomodating 4 shortcut at the bottom and Contact Bar on the above of the home screen... Now we can put in more than 4 (max 20 if i'm not mistaken, correct me) contacts and we now can scroll through the contact bar... However, I dont really like the response we have on the contact bar... But, something is better than nothing... it's useful, just need to get used to it...<br /><br />If you open ur music player, there'll be a widget with player control on the home screen... Other than seeing what song is playing, now you also can control your music on the home screen...<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="width: 410px; height: 376px;" src="http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t181/ampentium2/nokia_5800_firmware_v40.jpg" /><br /></div><br />All these home screen features is pretty much like an extract to 5530... None of the bug list can be confirmed yet although there's a few rumours on big bugs fooling around with the firmware but all seems to be about the memory card... Still need to be confirmed on this...<br /><br />Anyway, this is a big step for us, 5800XM user... Even though Kinetic Scrolling did not cover all parts of the phone, however most of long list part in the phone have Kinetic Scrolling now... Along side of new home screen and kinetic scrolling, these are listed as changes also:-<br /><br /> * Kinetic scrolling everywhere except: main menu, application menu, browser;<br /> * Home style widget with Nokia 5530;<br /> * QWERTY Keyboard Auto Rotation (on text input screens);<br /> * Refresh Icons “Sharing Online”, “Configuring Accessories”, “Configure Phone”;<br /> * New screen alarm, but only when the screen is locked;<br /> * Improved application “Updating Applications”, which also renames Upgrade SW;<br /> * The application “Data transfer” was also implemented in “Settings”;<br /> * Real Player Updated to 12 October 2009;<br /> * Ovi Contacts installed;<br /> * Removed Download! (Ovi Store still available)<br /> * Touch more responsive;<br /> * Improved stability;<br /> * Slide to Unlock during call<br /> * New contact & music widget.<br /> * New screen alarm, but only when the screen is locked.<br /> * New screen incoming call, also only when the screen is locked.<br /><br />This latest update is now available via Nokia Software Updater (NSU) or On The Air (OTA) update...<br /><br />Credit to: <a href="http://dailymobile.se/">DailyMobile.se</a> and <a href="http://techie-buzz.com">Techie-Buzz</a>master_red_lionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04442836810585629224noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4150270893941768009.post-19362924562272726522010-01-20T22:37:00.002+08:002010-01-20T22:53:04.676+08:00Ending My Hiatus...Yeahhhh.... it's been, errrr... is it ok if I'm saying I'm ending my hiatus??? it's only been few weeks... hahahaha... well, at least 2 weeks have passed since my last entry... just now I have a decent working laptop...<br /><br />well, since last time my laptop got burned and the repair cost is more than 1k, I fetched my old laptop from home (for those who knows, yeah it's my Hyundai M-Life). This laptop have been giving it's best service since 2005 till 2010... five years already...<br /><br />however, past few weeks since I get this laptop I've been stuggling to use this laptop as it can never give me the response I needed... I'm mad, I'm crazy, bebel xtentu hala, the only thing left to do is running outside and scream "aku gillleeeeeeeeeeeeeee" XD<br /><br />Imagine this, even with classic theme it takes almost 1 minutes just to open a browser... My Computer takes nearly 30seconds... crazy rite??? At first I thought it was Windows consuming too much resources, but heck after I tried Ubuntu Karmic Koala thing gets even worse... it even hang up in the Ubuntu environment... stupid fella... then I figured my Mozilla Firefox is taking too much resources in Windows, then I tried Google Chrome... hell yeah, it gets a little bit better... however, things still stuck and slowly response to my every request...<br /><br />well, then I figured... New version of softwares is all optimized for two-cores CPU while my laptop is single core Pentium M 1.6GHz... it never catch up with new software....<br /><br />Thanks to filehippo.com, they still keep old software installers in their server... so, I downloaded old Mozilla Firefox, old YM8, and old Skype 2.5... all softwares are dated back up to 3 years back... hahahahahahahaha... Now, everything works like charm... no more slow response, no more hiccups...<br /><br />Things Done:<br />= Remove IE8<br />= Remove Google Chrome<br />= Remove YM 9<br />= Remove Skype 3.8<br />= Install Mozilla Firefox 2.0<br />= Install Skype 2.5<br />= Install YM 8<br /><br />Laptop Spec:<br />= Intel Pentium M 1.6GHz<br />= 256MB DDR RAM<br />= 40GB HDD<br /><br />Lesson Learned:<br />= With such spec, dont even dream big to use latest software... They dont help no matter how fast they claim their software is...

I mean, how the hell ppl gonna know they entered wrong password because of your limitation while you keep asking them to try again after 3 minutes????<br /><br />I hate this kind of service, but it seems this kind of service is normal if it comes from Malaysian company...<br /><br />I take one week to figure out that Celcom OCS's "Please Try Again After 3 Minutes" means "Wrong Password" after login at their main OCS page (which is not for MNP, again, why the hell MNP user got different kind of treatment???) saying the password is wrong and try again after 3 minutes...<br /><br />I urge you to fire this kind of engineer who designed the system... Can't event think to convey "wrong password" msg...master_red_lionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04442836810585629224noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4150270893941768009.post-28510914953021210222009-12-17T20:36:00.002+08:002009-12-17T20:44:16.219+08:00Malaysia 1-0 Vietnam... Gold Medal bebbbbb...I just finished watching the live broadcast of football men final of Sukan SEA Laos... The result, surprisingly Malaysia managed to win the game with 1-0.<br /><br />I have to say, i'm surprised... they played so nice even though there are mistakes here and there... but still, the quality of their game has improved a lot... this is one of malaysia's best game ever... at least the one that i watched... hahahaha...<br /><br />even though the goal is somewhat a lucky goal but they deserve it... the move that lead to that lucky goal deserve a reward...<br /><br />Congratulations Malaysia!!!!! Malaysia's U23 team has proven that they can do it!!!! Let's keep this kind of game play consistent for the next tournament...master_red_lionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04442836810585629224noreply@blogger.com1
