Internet giant, Google is launching their own version of web browser,an open source browser called Chrome . Google is trying to compete with Internet “Sucks” Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. They said that the browser will be lightweight and fast. Can they outwit the latest Firefox??

Quoted From BBC news online ;

The launch of a beta version of Chrome on Tuesday will be Google’s latest assault on Microsoft’s dominance of the PC business. The firm’s Internet Explorer program dominates the browser landscape, with 80% of the market.

Can’t wait for the launch yo! Maybe gonna give it a try. Google is one step closer to world dominance !

 This is not the first time i write about this company. And maybe not the last. The company is a multimillion ringgit company, a company with a great look, a company that promises their users the BEST service, coverage and such. Want to know what company i’m talking about? Maxis.

Want to know what is the problem with me and Maxis this time? Their prepaid service, HOTLINK. I’m a Hotlink user, yes, i’m guilty of supporting something that is stupid. It’s been a couple of weeks that i ( i don’t think i’m the only one) suffered by using their service. Why i’m suffering you ask? well, they kept sending me ‘promotion’ messages that i would like to label as, SPAM. (Sending me almost 10 messages under 3 hours is not spam?) Asking me to buy this, telling me to try that,trying to rip people off is what they’re trying to do. I’m not putting into account the ’sexy videos, and pics’ messages that i receive every single day.

I hope that Maxis stop this bull-waste and start improving their service. If not, i may have to change to another provider.

**edit : The fireworks DID go off. But, the tv version of the fireworks are ‘enhanced’ with the graphics they made…sorry for the mistake**

Yeap. It was faked. Over 3 billion people are lied to that night. Don’t know which firework i’m talking about?? Here’s a pic.

This is the ‘fake’ firework being ‘blown’ up into the Beijing sky.

Despite being duped,and lied to, i think that the animation shown on air that night, it’s really fascinating. How could technology trick so much people into believing it’s real? The animation crew must’ve worked hard on this project ,which they took one year to complete! Stunning visual effects weh!

To add more real life ‘things’ to the lies, they even put haze in the skies to mimic the after effect of a firework show. They even added the ‘camera shaking’ for the shots that was taken from the helicopter. Damn detailed.

Eventhought i’m at awe with the effects, there are still people that are mad because they were cheated to believe that the fireworks were real. But, who cares!

Let’s see what more will Beijing Olympics bring us!

The debate title was , “Hari Ini Membentuk Kerajaan, Esok Turn Harga Minyak” or    “Form A Government Today, Lower The Price Of Oil Tomorrow” was really interesting. I, for the first time, with my dad and my brother, watched a program that is actually intellectual on TV! Yes, the first time EVER! My household never really watched intellectual shows because well, it’s boring. The most intellectual show that we really watch is, Scrubs. LOL. But, the debate today, not only the title is really intriguing but also the people that is involved in it, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek. I know one of them, which is a really powerful person, but i didn’t know who the other one was, the other one just looks…CHEEKY (No Pun intended) :P.

I’m not siding against any of these people but what they had to say on the debate was really interesting. Both party had some great points that they pointed out and highlighted through out the debate.

Now, for my opinion and view after watching the FULL debate. I think that Datuk Seri Anwar is a great debater. He sticks to the topic and really elaborate on it,ALMOST perfectly. On the other hand, Datuk Ahmad Shabery kept sidelining and eventually attacked Datuk Seri Anwar personally. Before the event started, the chairman said that they would not be a personal attack against one another. But, under 10 minutes from the even started, the “Menteri Penerangan”, Datuk Ahmad Shabery already attacked Anwar personally. I think that he shouldn’t done that.

They even exchange quirky remarks but i liked Anwar’s comeback better. What a sharp mind! Now, the points that they put out was really good but I don’t think that it would cause much change since the time frame for each party to point out the point is really short. I don’t even understand some of them.

Okay, enough about my views. What do you think about the debate? Did you watch it or you just dont give a Fork about this topic?

***I’m facing some problem with my Windows Live Writer right now, that’s why i’m using a smaller font than what i usually use**

OMG! Hate Indonesians?! Wait2. Before i stir up any controversies and taken under arrest by the Malaysian or Indonesian government, the real topic is ILLEGAL Indonesians that is in our country. Illegal Indonesian immigrants or P.A.T.I.

I started thinking.. How many PATI’s are there actually in Malaysia? I’m sure in the MILLIONS. Yes, MILLIONs. Even if the government say it’s not in millions, but i sure think they’re wrong.Not that i have anything personal against Indonesians, NO, but i hate PATIs , man.

For one thing, they’re troublesome. We have to dish out extra cash just to capture these little pricks. Then,after we captured them, we would put them in a containment camp. We give them food,water and basic necessities, guess where do they get the money from? OUR money. Then, we send them back home, again USING OUR MONEY!

They also cause LOADS of trouble in our beloved Malaysia. Many laws are broken by these “immigrants”. They steal, rob, smuggle things, sell illegal things, grand theft, and many other things that threat Malaysians. And again, police are sent out after them. Causing MORE money waste.

The PATIs don’t pay taxes, sometimes they dont even pay bills! They steal electricity,water and sometimes telephone lines! WTF! Come into our country and wreak havoc is it? Kick you in the ass baru tau ..grrr..

And oh, some of them come here, and fight with each other also! Die here, and cause more trouble to the police force and such. WTF la weh. Wanna fight and kill one another, do it in your own country okay.

Want to see these people own cars/vehicles? Look to your left or right when you’re driving, you’re LUCKY if you get to see a MALAYSIAN. LOL. No la, it hasn’t come to that point YET, but still, how could these PATIs own cars,motorcycles and even lorries?! BTW, they’re bad at driving too!

Aiyoh. I can rant about them all day. But it’s almost 7.00 pm now, wanna watch Scrubs on Star World :D.
