PCWorld has written Windows 8: 13 Features Worth Knowing About and it gives you a summary of what's new in Windows 8 and here they are:

• Fast Boot Up
• Reset and Refresh
• Windows to Go
• Windows Store
• Ribbon Interface
• WiFI Direct Support
• NFC Support
• Native ISO Image Support
• Side-by-side Apps on Tablet
• ARM Processor Support
• Windows Live Sky Drive Integration
• Hyper-V
• Revamped Task Manager

I think the biggest improvement is the WiFI Direct Interface which lets your device connect to other devices without using any Hotspot. It's like a P2P connection and it's similar to Apple's AirDrop

Here's a video from YouTube showing you the capabilities of WiFI Direct:



Another improvement that is worth is reset/refresh features which lets you Reset (go back to default install, lose all data and apps) and Refresh (return all settings to their default for faster and more reliable operation, but keep the data and apps). This simplifies users when they have problems with their computers or they want to give away their computer to someone else and clean up all the data inside the computer.

This year, the Chinese Festival has been held for 7 years in a row and it is held on February 2-6. My mother hasn't been to this festival before, so she wanted to go there, so all of my family went there today and got stuck around a lot of people who went there.

There were several reason why today was so crowded. In the last two days, there was a heavy rain, so people hesitated to go there and there you go. Full of people, even though it's still nothing compared to what i have seen in Shanghai, China. Even though the road was probably 7x bigger than in Ketandan, it's full of people. It's way much crowded than in here.

Other reason is that because it's Sunday so people have a leisure time to go there with their family.

It's like Three-Kingdom, but the characters has a stunning graphics and they possess magic abilities as well.

It's price is only $0.99 so it won't cost much for all of us for this wonderful game. I hope you like this game as well once you tried to play it.

Here's the screenshot taken from AppStore:

After it has been taken down on January, most of the uploader tried to find the best alternative for Megaupload and some of them picked RapidShare and MediaFire. I once used RapidShare and it's really great, except for free users limitation which is way too long i guess (6 minutes of waiting time). MediaFire is better because you only have to wait for 5 seconds and you can have multiple download at the same time, something you will never have with RapidShare with free user capabilities.
