  • Google Chrome 6 Stable Release

    Admin 6:13 am on 3 September 2010 | 0 Permalink

    After introducing Google Chrome two years ago, Google has increased their development on creating the fastest browser on earth and they are doing it pretty well on Chrome. Their product is widely and quickly accepted by many people around the world as it's slim and it's fast enough to compete with others such as Firefox, Safari, and Opera.

    Today, they celebrate two years of Google Chrome by releasing Google Chrome 6 as a stable version. Last week, Google Chrome 5 is dubbed as stable, but starting on September, it will be replaced by Google Chrome 6 and the development version will be on Google Chrome 7. The official announcement can be read here.

    It has simpler user interface (one of the many features i like in Google's products: simplicity), faster javascript engine, better treatment to the URL address bar (no http:// anymore), and of course offer better protection with it's sandbox model.

    Go to google.com/chrome and you will be prompted to install/update to the latest stable release of Google Chrome Yahoo
     

  • Legend of The Condor Heroes Finished

    Admin 4:57 am on 3 September 2010 | 0 Permalink

    I have finally completed re-downloading Legend of the Condor Heroes. I have downloaded this Chinese drama in the past, but since i didn't have any storage to save it, i deleted all of them Crying It was 35 GB in total, so i took some time to re-download it again.

    What's worst is that it's in MU (Mega Upload) and since my FlashGet running on Wine is only capable of downloading 8 files concurrently, i had to wait until all of them are finished before i can add more links to it. It's because MU doesn't give a permanent link just like RapidShare. The link will be valid for few hours if there's an activity of downloading it.

    Anyways, it's over now, and i'm downloading the next movie: Heavenly Sword and Dragon Sabre which has been remaked in 2009. It consists of 40 episodes Gym

  • Moving to OAuth

    Admin 3:24 am on 2 September 2010 | 0 Permalink

    Twitter has announced few months ago to developers who used Twitter API to integrate their applications to Twitter that they will shut down the Basic Auth method for authenticating user's credentials and moving on to OAuth.

    Today, they officially announced that they have completely shut down all Basic Auth support, meaning that if your Twitter account still uses Basic Auth, it will not work anymore. You must upgrade your clients in order to be able to connect to Twitter again.

    Some clients that i have known has updated their code in order to work with OAuth. Unfortunately, Echofon for Firefox has dropped Linux support. It's a shame. I really like Echofon. Right now, i'm using QTwitter and Choqok for my Twitter/Identi.ca accounts. Both works great, so i'm quite happy with it.

  • SMS Not Reliable Nowadays

    Admin 3:07 am on 1 September 2010 | 0 Permalink

    Lately, SMS delivery has been unreliable. Perhaps this is due to overload on the networks or probably because of other things happening on the network itself. I think it's better to call the person directly instead of relying on SMS messages to send some notes to other people Goodluck

    Let's hope it only happened for today, but i doubt that.

  • Cisco to Acquire Skype?

    Admin 4:33 am on 31 August 2010 | 0 Permalink

    Cisco, one of the big companies in networking is rumored to acquire Skype. Here's an article on PCWorld that described why Cisco is doing it. If Skype agreed to this deal, this would make the competition in VoIP between Cisco and Google become hotter as Google has just released their Voice and Video Chat plugins for Linux and they have done it for Windows previously. They even released Call Phone from GMail last week.

    In the end, it's the end users who took the advantages of all of this. The rate will be cheaper and the quality will be much better as they are fighting for more market share and quality is one the key factor that will determine who's the winner Yahoo

  • Dissapointed with MTIX 2.0

    Admin 2:22 pm on 30 August 2010 | 0 Permalink

    Actually, i was really curious when 21Cinema decided to upgrade their online ticketing by adding a feature that enables us to select our own seat. This morning, i visited their website and i found the new interface which is confusing and i think 1.0 is better than the new 2.0. Bad at usability and too much pop ups and annoying ads.

    I'd say forget it. It's just an interface after all. But guess what? The functionality is even worse. I can't even buy a ticket and i have to do my registration all over again before i can use the new service (they even have my old data, why should i do the registration again). When i looked at their forum, i saw that there are so many people already complaining about it and the admin said that there were a maintenance phase and trial version before upgrading to 2.0 and they didn't even notify their users at all.

    I think they should be more informative to their users. In the past, i'm able to buy tickets since morning, but i think they have made the rule more strict, but no announcement on their buy tickets page.

    When i called their customer service, no one answered my phone call Angry

    Conclusions: i'm so dissapointed with MTIX 2.0. Just go back to 1.0 and remove the seat selection feature. It's working and everybody's happy.
