To Protect or To Destroy ?

The long waited movie "Transformer" had been released to the cinema yesterday. Wonder how many of you actually watched it. If you tell this to the 80's boys(in particular), for sure they will know what you are talking about. Trust me, they know...Back to those days, we have He-Man, ThunderCats, Voltron(Oh Yes!), My Little Pony, Care Bears, Smurf, Ninja Turtles(Oh my...), Dragon Ballz, G.I.Joe, and the name goes on...If you don't know any one of these, you must be having a strict parents ! :p aarrrhhhh, those days...really hope that I can sit down one day to watch all those cartoons again :)

So, are you ready to Protect

or to Destroy ?...

Scary phenomenon

Last week, Kuching(in fact, all around the world that has the same timezone as Malaysia) had a very weird and scary phenomenon. Almost everyone in Kuching were rushing out from office and stunted at the phenomenon. Some say "The end of the world", some say "A spaceship is going to land soon, runnnn~!", some say "Wow! Syiok! cool man...", some say "It's Halo", some say "No no, it's eclipse!", and some say "Bad thing is going to happen soon...". For me, it's just a circle of rainbow surrounded the Sun and that's it. Yeah! that's it...Anyway, it's up to you to judge.

MAS Online Services Crashed !

Yesterday's news announcing The Malaysia Airlines "Visit Malaysia 2007" promotion of the year introducing low fare packages for everyone. My uncle was enthusiastically asking me to jot down the dates that he wanted to fly. He keep telling me that I must be puncture at 9a.m. in front of my laptop and get ready for the booking. I was telling myself "I don't think you will get it". It is not that I want to curse or talk bad about it. You can just imagine, RM1 to fly around Malaysia. EVERYONE WANTS IT (Ooppss...sounds like Toyota Vios advertisement) !? I can predict that the server would definitely crashed tomorrow *prophesying*.

So, today...went to Malaysia Airlines Online website and it shows up nice page, indeed. Telling the reader what are the prices for flying to places so and so. Looks interesting. Yeah, but...

After clicking my uncle's requested date and "submit"...and here you go ! ...and I've tried so many times and still ends up the same thing. Makes me so "kia su" at that particular moment. haha...keep pressing the Refresh(F5) button... LOL !

Well, this reminds me back to my University where we need to wake up at 7am or 8am to register for our course. Well, as usual the server crashed into pieces and I only manage to register a few "unwanted" or "uninteresting" course where not much of student register. In fact, is this a technology issue or people just couldn't be bother to buy more server to have a multiple server to serve more users ? sigh...

So, did anyone out there successfully booked/buy the ticket from MAS Online services with RM1 ?

Safari on Windows !

Definitely not a jungle tracking activities or an exploration to an African wildlife places. The Apple people announces the first Apple product on Windows. It was said to be 2 times faster than Internet Explorer(Bad IE as usual :( ) ! So, it's worth to explore "The Safari" on M$(Microsoft) Windows ;)

You can download them to have a try at here.

The following are their promises !

1. Blazing Performance
2. Elegant User Interface
3. Easy Bookmarks
4. Pop-up Blocking
5. Inline Find
6. Tabbed Browsing
7. SnapBack (new !)
   
8. Forms AutoFill
9. Built-in RSS
10. Resizable Text Fields (new !)
    
11. Private Browsing
12. Security

There are quite a number of new cool stuff that we never had in either Firefox 2.0, IE 7 or any other browsers. For example SnapBack and Resizable Text Fields. You really have to take a look at their Inline Find. Not something new, but the way they design its User Interface makes users so much easier to find what they are looking/searching for.

I've tried it and find that it loads the page much faster than ever. But...safari tends to break some of the Javascript code easily. So, you might find it frustrated if you are a web developer. But in fact, Apple is doing it right as now we can test our application on Windows; without having a Mac PC to test for our application. Cool stuff !
