Random Thoughts: Dating Rules

Written by A-lex on June 30, 2008 – 12:00 am -

I come across an article about dating commandments and I found the following rule quite interesting. What say you?

Go Dutch
There’s nothing worse than dating a woman who won’t pay her own way! Feminist groups have campaigned for years to get women equal pay, so it’s about time they starting to splash the cash themselves.

Essentially, all you’re doing is paying for sex. In which case, you could probably find a much cheaper option elsewhere!

Anyway it still based on a person thinking, so there is no right or wrong. Which way you think is right that’s your choice cause everyone got their own taste and preference.

The market of UMPC (Ultra-Mobile PC) is starting to burn! A lot of PC manufacturers are aware of this market segment as many people are starting to get affordable, low cost mobile computing devices.

Mozilla Firefox 3 is out! Now!

Written by Ph@ntoM on June 18, 2008 – 11:06 pm -

After almost three years of development, the highly anticipated Mozilla Firefox 3 is out! with some really cool new features! of course, better security, performances and browsing experiences!

This new web browser is claimed to be 3X faster than its predecessor, Firefox 2 with over 15,000 improvements made! One of the most significant enhancements would be “Awesome Bar” in which it detects keywords typed by the user and intelligently suggest URL’s based on your browsing history and bookmarks. Hmm… quite a useful approach. Though IE7 has similar mechanism, but Firefox 3 arranges and presents them better, especially highlighting on keywords. Another highlight would be One-click Bookmarking and Tagging in which I like it very much because I usually bookmark pages a lot and it is quite hassling by clicking “Bookmarks > Bookmark This Page…” menu. This speeds up bookmarking processes. Additionally, it has tagging feature for easier finding and detection by keywords entered!

Ok… Security-wise… it is now intelligent enough to be able to detect malware or phishing sites and gives you a warning before you access them. It’s something quite similar to Google’s approach where when you enter a potential threat site via Google search, it redirects you to a warning page. Now it is integrated into the browser thus levels up its security capabilities.

Well… theres a lot more new thingy implemented in this new browser but I think what were mentioned are intuitive enough… Looks like Mozilla is trying to overtake IE7 but I believe the upcoming IE8 will sure improve drastically… Oh yeah… User interface wise, it’s quite simplistic. However, I think I like Firefox 2’s more than the new one. Maybe I’m a bit old-fashioned (LOL!) but the new approach still does the job well… Perhaps you would want download it here

After submitting the last assignment of the semester, as usual we went for a nice dinner + do something to reward ourselves.

So, we hopped on to our time machine, travel back in time to go to Sunway Pyramid to visit the pharaoh. :D

We went for the BBQ Plaza located in Pyramid. Why that place? Because they all are animals! except me :D

So, we line up, order, wait for our seats as they are preparing it. When its ready, they rush in like there is no tomorrow! LOL
