Happy New Year

One more day before 2011, pretty much getting older now. I be like 27 year old by next year and I don’t feel very confortable about it. But other then that it is a year me and my family been waiting for and yes pretty much something my dad been waiting for too. I hope everything will go well for this year and something to look forward too.

Looking back at my life this year, it has been pretty much ok ok I guess. Still working as a Property Negotiator and looking forward to to more by next year (Which is tomorrow lol) well not tomorrow in few months time. Lots of stuff happened this year to my family, friends and & celebrities too (Tiger woods is one of them and it is just his year haha). I manage to go travelling with dawing, then most of my childhood friends are back in Kota Kinabalu for good and working here too.

I don’t think there is anything else to mention, more ever I am going dinner with my family at Little Italy and be leaving by 6pm. I know it is going to be a traffic jam but we don’t know where else to go. Anyway wish you all a Happy New year and yes it is the year of the rabbit. So those born on a rabbit year… beware..

hehe jk xD

Installing Ubuntu from a Pendrive Part 2

Sorry but the alcohol stopped me from continuing this post. Anyway I was talking about the menu screen after booting from the pendrive. You have a few option there:

 

Choose “Install Ubuntu on a Hard Disk” and press enter, where next page would be a friendly wizard setup for you to choose how to set it up.

By default the language is English so just click forward again

Make sure your power source is connected if you are installing on a laptop like me!!! Also if you are using any kind of connection from malaysia, I would recommend you not to connect to the internet first as the updates could reach over 200mb and unless you are willing to wait another 30-40 minutes with a connection of 150Kb/sec download speed then go ahead. But I would recommend you to install it without doing an update as it will take some time for the installation to finish.

Next would be setting the hard disk space, where you have 3 option. If you think you are good enough to have 2 operating system then choose the first one. But if you are a newbie then I suggest to use the second option and don’t bother with the third because I don’t need to explain how to do it as there is a guide there telling you what to do first. Well it should not be a problem if you think it is easy.

   

After picking which ever option or if u “choose Erase and use the entire disk” you get a screen like the first picture out of the three here. After clicking forward you be at a setup page for your time zone and then last one would be asking for you to set the computer name, your details then pick a username and password. Just for your information, you can only use a lower case word for the username. If you tried to use a uppercase letter it will not allow you to click forward. 

Once you are done setting up, it will ask you to remove your memory device (your pendrive) or any other media used for the setup. When finally it boot up just click on your username and it ask for a password you entered during the last part on above picture. Where you are finally done about 90% as the additional 10% would be some driver problem. But on my dell inspiron 6400, I had no trouble as you can see I used it for showing the installation.

I tried installing it on a Dell inspiron mini 10 (1018), the major issue I had was with the wireless card. It is a combo realtek card and yes you need to do some update with the netbook first before you can use the wireless. Check out Mini Dell forum for guide regarding this issue.

 

Anyway here is a picture of my laptop details after finishing installing

 

If only it had no problem with amsn, I would have just use it for my gf lappy lol

So guys Merry Christmas & Happy New Year. Wish you all will have a good new year!!

Installing Ubuntu from a Pendrive Part 1

I guess there have been a few tutorial about it and yes I got bored and just make another one to add in more. If you a new to linux and wondering what the fuck is Ubuntu then here is some simple explanation. Ubuntu is part of a Linux Distro, where linux is a Unix-like operating systems. What is unix? Goggle that up yourself, well few years ago there were very few user friendly linux distro and yes me myself had a hard time playing with one due to the limited resource such as official driver and so on for linux based system. So now finally there have been a Linux Distro which have forum, online, and chat support available 24/7. You don’t even need to be a linux guru to install one anymore now.

So what do we need first, hard ware part would be a spare hard disk (well that if you have one like me),  Laptop or Desktop to install the operating system (At the moment I am using Dell Inspiron 6400 with 2gb ram), a USB Pendrive with 4gb or more.

Screwdriver, Sata/Pata Hard disk & Laptop

Now for the software part:

• Universal USB Installer
  
• Ubuntu Desktop or Netbook Edition

I think that is it… erm.. yes that is it don’t forget to download the Ubuntu iso file first!! before continue on as it is over 600mb. So lets begin with the first section.

After downloading your Ubuntu iso which should be having a filename like this “ubuntu-10.10-desktop-amd64.iso” for Desktop 64bit or “ubuntu-10.10-netbook-i386.iso” Netbook Edition. Run the “Universal-USB-Installer-1.8.2.0.exe” file and you be getting a window like this:

It should be pretty much easy but I am just going to say click “I Agree”. Then you should get another section into the program:

If you place the ISO file with the USB installer, it should automatically set the path to it and you don’t need to click on browse on step 2 anymore after choosing the version you want to install from the list at step 1 like the above picture. Once you are done setting that, on step 3 you need to pick the drive letter your pendrive is using. As for step 4, I didn’t touch it as I don’t know what is that for.

Now you would see it start installing all the stuff into your pendrive which might take about 3-4 minutes depending on your pc performance. Once it is done with the installation on your pendrive, just exit the Universal usb installer and restart your pc and enter into your bios setup. Most desktop would require you to press “Del” on your keyboard as the computer start and where my laptop uses F2 button. But you just need to quickly notice around the screen showing something like “F2 to enter setup” after you on your pc or laptop. 

In the bios setup you see a screen with blue background just like the above picture, then look around for Boot Sequence.

In the boot sequence setup, move the USB Storage Device (Which means your pendrive or anything that uses the usb port with memory) to boot first and not your cd-rom or hard disk. Some motherboard may have a difference setting where you are required to enable the boot usb storage device first and it will not be located at the boot sequence section. Might be in a advance control or something like this just explore around with out changing any of the value. If you are not sure or just leave a comment here along with your motherboard model and I tell you where to go next.

After finish setting up the stuff on your bios do save the setting or press F10 with will save and exit the bios after choosing yes on the menu which will popup. Now once the bios screen pass by your pc or laptop would try to boot from the pendrive first (Make sure you plug the pendrive in!!) and you should get a menu like the above.

 

Sorry but I just notice this is going to be a very long post, so decided to make part 2 about it tonight. I have not finished uploading the video too. So just wait for part 2 lol

6.20 TN-A / Homebrew Enabler (HEN) Released - psp-hacks

Well the latest homebrew enabler is out for psp firmware version 6.20. So what can you do? well here are the details:

"Now you can’t play any ISOs/CSOs just yet — you gotta wait for that. Someone’ll port an existing ISO loader or create a new one compatible with 6.20. Otherwise check the included readme.txt for everything else you oughta know.

6.20 TN-A (HEN) Requirements

• A PSP – any model – with firmware 6.20 installed.

6.20 TN-A (HEN) Instructions

1. Install Patapon Demo & HBL on your PSP.
2. Extract EBOOT.PBP to /PSP/GAME/HEN/EBOOT.PBP, or to /HBL/GAME/EBOOT.PBP if you want to launch it directly.
3. Launch Patapon Demo and load exploited savedata (Continue).
4. Now it jumps into HEN mode.
5. Enjoy homebrews and plugins (you’ll lose HEN mode if you reset/shutdown the device or if your PSP crashes).

Update: A couple notes from my personal experience with 6.20 TN-A (HEN) and a PSPgo: The first run it worked fine — HEN loaded no problem and behaved as it should. Consecutive runs thereafter (from a cold boot) always failed. To get it working again I uncommented the following line in hbl/hbl_config.txt:

override_sceIoMkdir=-1

Works again! … despite the memory leak error.

Here are some tips if you’re experiencing crashes and/or other problems:

1. Backup whatever you want to keep from your memory stick, format it, and start fresh. Download everything you need and pack that freshly formatted stick. Restore your save games and whatever else after the fact.
2. Fiddle with hbl/hbl_config.txt. Try changing the different overrides and other configurable options.
3. Clear out your ms0:/seplugins folder. Some plugins may be incompatible with 6.20 TN-A.
4. Disable vMenu (VisualMenu) if you’re using it.
5. Sift through the comments. You aren’t alone. Many users are reporting crashes but also reporting fixes/workarounds. Take your time and read on.

Update: By way of Wololo via virtuous flame — an unofficial fix for PSP-3000 owners. 6.20 TN-A doesn’t recognize newer PSP-3000 models (it’s a 4g vs. 3g thing); this EBOOT.PBP (you’re replacing HEN/EBOOT.PBP) corrects that.

Update: Comments indicate that homebrew is still likely to crash on some (newer 4g?) PSP-3000 models, that’s after using virtuous flame’s patched EBOOT. Hang tight — you know it’ll get fixed."

You can download the files from:

6.20 TN-A (HEN)
Half Byte Loader R109 for Patapon 2
Patapon 2 SAVEDATA Exploit
Patapon 2 Demo
PSPgo 6.20 FW Update

[6:12pm] <YoLtA_R> There are important historical bases of these facts : the Bible and Quran are 2 of them.

Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) Resubmit DEIA report for review and approval

I already saw this coming, but well pretty much nothing new. If the government wanted to make money they just go ahead with out considering the effect of it in the future. Do it now or the money be taken back, for most Sabahan would know that the fly over that is currently being built seems to be pointless and yes it just make a longer traffic jam. Why did they go on? or why did they built it? Here are some stuff which may be true or rumors but then again it is up for you to believe it or not.

The fly over project was already being proposed back like 10 years ago or more and yes with proper study, surveying, months of car counting and a lot of documentation to state why must it be build. The design has already being submitted which will allow the traffic flow to move smoothly then the current design. It was rejected why? State government would not earn anything out of it and only the citizenship will. There was already a budget for it, countless of planning and brain storming was done when the budget was given to fully utilize the budget. But now the current fly being build is just some cheaper version of the proposed fly over and yes as long the state government build it the federal government would not take back the allocation given for it.

So what is the does this story have anything to do with the resubmission of the DEIA report? Well someone is pressuring the TNB guys to do the coal-powered plant so one of this government cronies will make millions or billions out of the project. It will not be the opposition of cause this is for sure, just look at the Mongolian model case. What happen to it? Some guy end up being a scape goat for the real culprit. If you talk too much they just use ISA and say you are disrupting the peace.

We Sabahan have given our vote to the current ruling party (I didn't vote for any why? do you need to even ask?) and what did they us back? They fuck our state up, steal all our natural resources and maybe yes maybe once all this is finish. They might just kick Sabah out of Malaysia or leave us for the opposition party to handle when it is already being fucked up and damage. Is any of the Sabahan realizing this?

Well talk, curse, scream and so on, it be hard to fight the government once they make their mind up. Who knows maybe they already brainwashed the guys who will approve this with money. So what can we people do? voting the opposition would not be any better from what I see. I would still prefer if we claim for independence and make Sabah as our own country with proper Government strict like Singapore and yes I would not mind if it was even a communist government like China. Because the current government talk only and no action.

Windows Phone 7 operating system doing permanent modification to MicroSD cards

Who would have thought microsoft would do such a thing to the new windows phone 7. I was expecting like them making their own phone with out using other peoples hardware. But to lock the MicroSd card? why would they do this? Well the slashdot guys was saying:

“Don't put your MicroSD cards into Windows Phones. According to Samsung, doing so is a 'permanent modification' to the card, and it can no longer be used in other devices.”

So like we are not allowed to use the memory card that is used on the windows 7 phone on another device for security purpose or something else? Well I never had any issue of the memory card being fix installed on the phone and never bothered to removed it except when I had to send the phone for some repair (which was never done in the end). Anyway for HTC Mozart users I am sure you guys would have wanted to upgrade your memory card for some time now. But not sure how to do it, here is a tutorial on how you should open the phone up just to swipe the MicroSD card. Yes there is a MicroSD card in the phone LOL anyway have a look”

Youtube 3 videos part 1-3

http://lifeinthefastlaneok.wordpress.com

 

I got all the video from http://lifeinthefastlaneok.wordpress.com, so if you want to read all about it or maybe have some question about HTC Mozart. Don’t bother asking me as I don’t own a HTC phone haha

Anyway this new operating system seems to be like a joke now. Even the Dell Venue Pro has a microSD card slot, you'll just need to void your warranty to use it!!! LOL pretty much a stupid idea, are the phone maker trying to do some april fool joke or Microsoft is just controlling them from a remote area.  Anyway Vlad Savov from engadget.com was saying:

“The Venue Pro's approach is closer to Samsung's, insofar as you don't have to tear down the phone to stick a new microSD card inside it, but it does expect you to bust through a warranty sticker to get at the port. So it's there and can be used, but the risk will be all yours if you do.” Read more…

Since Microsoft can’t seem to control the hardware much, they are choosing to control the memory card. Now only certain card can be use on the windows phone 7 devices. Here are the list I manage to get from xda-developers:

Well the guys over at xda-developers are still testing and while at that have a look at what Microsoft said about this issue:

You may experience the following issues if you remove or replace the SD card in a Windows Phone 7 device, or if you add an SD card to a Windows Phone 7 device that has an empty SD card slot.

• Removing the SD Card: If you remove an SD card that has already been integrated with the phone, the phone displays an error message that tells you to reinsert the SD card. All phone functionality is disabled except for the ability to make emergency calls. The phone will function normally again only if you reinsert the original SD card and then start the phone.
• Integrating a Phone with a non–Windows Phone 7 Compliant SD Card: If a non–Windows Phone 7 compliant card is integrated with the phone, you might notice the following performance issues when you use your phone:
  • Applications might start more slowly or not at all.
  • Transitions between some application screens might stutter.
  • Some applications might not respond at times.

How did I ever miss out reading all this stuff back then I always kept reading during my free time. I will post some more updates on it.

16-year-old Pitt Meadows girl raped

I was browsing around the internet news and yes I do brows and like take a snap image off everything. This one caught my attention as it was a 16 year old girl who was drugged and sexually assaulted by a group of men at a rave party in Pitt Meadows Canada. Not really had it anything  to do with me but yes I am just posting this. Some how this news is more about how the girls video & photo of being rape is being posted on facebook rather then arresting the people who raped her. It was all about the boy who posted the victim being gang rape rather then news about what happen to the girl now and the attackers? Here are all the news, photo, and video about the boy and what happen to him:

“Angry and disgusted police officers issued an appeal on Thursday for people to stop downloading and sharing graphic photos of a 16-year-old girl being gang-raped by a group of seven males in a Pitt Meadows field.

"I've been involved in investigating sexual assaults for many years," said Ridge Meadows RCMP Sgt. Jennifer Hyland, who is leading the investigation into the early-Saturday incident. "In that time, I've never experienced anything like what is occurring in this investigation."

Copies of the images have been "spreading like wildfire," she said.

"The very public discussion about this victim and the taking and subsequent sharing of photos depicting this rape is disgusting, morally corrupt and criminal," she said.

Police said the girl was likely drugged during the attack and required medical attention afterwards.” Read more on Vancouversun.com

 

“The horrific gang rape of a 16-year-old girl is roiling Canada. It's suspected that she was drugged at a rave on Saturday and then assaulted in a nearby field by a group of males. Truly adding insult to injury: The attack in Pitt Meadows, B.C., was photographed and videotaped -- and the evidence was then published on Facebook by one of her alleged attackers. The photos and video "have been viewed, shared, saved and reposted numerous times," an official told the Vancouver Sun. The images are spreading like wildfire, and it's impossible to contain.” Read more on Salon.com

 

“Canadian police say they are struggling to prevent photos and video of a sexual assault on a teenager spreading online.

Royal Canadian Mounted Police in British Columbia briefly detained a teenage boy who had posted images and video of the assault on Facebook.

He removed them, but they have popped up elsewhere online and police say they may file child pornography charges.

Officers say the 16-year-old girl was drugged and sexually assaulted by a group of men at a party last weekend.” Read more on bbc.co.uk

 

Took me a while just to find out what happen later on after doing a bit more google’ing and yes with all kind of keyword use. Where it have finally link me to a video… Video of the 16 year old rape in Pitt Meadows rave party.. no video of a guy making a song about it. People were actually commenting how good it was and just watch it:

 

To the family of the 16 year old girl who was gang raped at a rave in pitt meadows BC Canada.

 

So.. well erm.. it made me speechless, not because how good he sing or how good was the music. But why was this song even created? I don’t think a rape victim would be happy to remember anything about the experience and the family is trying their best to hunt down those photo circulation on the internet. That I am impress rather then someone making a song for the rape victim.

Anyway the police were doing their job and yes a pretty good one too, not only they are hunting those people who are posting all the pictures. But yes they did not forget there was a rape victim and the predator is still out there hunting more girls.

 

“An 18-Year-Old Man Was Arrested in Maple Ridge British Columbia in the Case of the 16-Year-Old Girl Who Was Gang Raped At a Party Last Weekend

The man was arrested and released on Thursday but police are hoping the Crown prosecutors will soon approve a sexual assault charge for him.

• Two Witnesses Have Now Come Forward

The first arrest in this case was a 16-year-old boy who allegedly took photos of the gang rape that took place at a party in Pitt Meadows, and then posted them on Facebook. The photos quickly went viral across the Internet, and that boy could be charged with distributing child pornography.

Disturbingly the photos of the sexual assault are still being uploaded to the Internet almost as fast as the police can wipe them off. Looking at the pictures constitutes viewing child pornography and police are concerned that the victim will continue to be re-victimized every time someone views one of the photos. ” Read more on nowpublic.com

 

Anyway this was a incident which happened like 2 months ago. I am not sure why is it still on but there are facebook group about stoping the photos and another one is like a group of people doubt about the rape incident.

Reasonable Doubt in Pitt Meadows
Description: This group is for the people who have yet to jump on the bandwagon headed out to lynch the men/boys involved in the alleged sexual assault of a 16 year old young woman from Pitt Meadows. The tabloid newspapers are sensationalizing this case, as they do with all issues that sell. The police believe they have physical and medical evidence, but there is a difference between evidence used to arrest and evidence used to convict and the judicial process will determine what evidence there is and what it means.
This group is not for slanderous and libelous comments toward the 16 year old young woman. This is for critically thinking people who are not easily led into hating and lynching.
There is a process. Advocate for the process and for critical thinking and for truth and justice.. For All.

Reasonable doubt in pitt meadows 2
Description: About rave "rape" in pitt meadows. This is for everyone to voice there opinions and share information.

 

So… there is Part 2 reasonable doubt.. such a strange world we are in as Nikki Breeze mention on http://www.insidehalton.com:

“On Sept. 10, in Pitt Meadows, B.C., a 16-year-old girl was drugged and then raped by six teenage boys at a party in her hometown that had been advertised through Facebook. During the sexual assault, other teens stood by and took pictures, which were later posted to Facebook and continued to leak throughout the Internet. This shows that something as serious as a gang rape is considered to be Facebook appropriate and — somehow — comedic to the viewers.

Facebook and other social networking websites are a way for a user to express the way they are feeling about another without having to confront them face-to-face. It brings a level of confidence to a bully because he or she can say what they want.

Because Facebook is such a popular social network and has become far less private, it is easy for any user to find another and make a confrontation extremely public. Being exposed to conflict creates the urge for the viewer to want to state their opinion and get involved. When this occurs, it is almost impossible to resist making a comment on the public argument right in front of you that should have been kept private and personal.” Read more…

 

I guess being bullied on the internet world now days is much more worst then being bullied on school I would say. Not only will your schoolmate find out, but the whole world will just like how I find out about this news while I am from East Malaysia Sabah. Where this incident happened at Pitt Meadows, B.C. Canada.

Android Exploits

Android is a mobile operating system, pretty much most of you guys are using phone with such operating system on it now days. People have been talking about how bad are micrcosoft product compare to open source software or operating system. But have they ever thought with open source market, people can create all kind of application free download.

“Android specialist Jon Oberheide demonstrated another hole which involved misusing the Account Manager to generate an authentication token for the Android Market and obtaining permission to install further apps from there. However, this initially requires a specially crafted app to be installed on the smartphone. Nothing could be easier: Oberheide released the allegedly harmless "Angry Birds Bonus Levels" app intothe Android Market and, upon installation, this app downloaded and installed three further apps ("Fake Toll Fraud", "Fake Contact Stealer" and "Fake Location Tracker") without requesting the user's permission.

The privileges of "Fake Tool Fraud" included the right to send premium SMS messages. Google has since removed all of Oberheide's apps from the Market. Back in June, Oberheide had already used an app to demonstrate an Android vulnerability. At the time, Google used the remote deletion feature, available on Android devices, for the first time. ”  Read more…

Android is beginning to face what Microsoft have been facing all this while. But so far I have not seen any bad critics yet then again sooner or later maybe yes.

Android (operating system)
Android is a mobile operating system initially developed by Android Inc., a firm purchased by Google in 2005.^[4] Android is based upon a modified version of the Linux kernel. It is a participant in the Open Handset Alliance.^[5] Unit sales for Android OS smartphones ranked first among all smartphone OS handsets sold in the U.S. in the second and third quarters of 2010,^[6][7][8] with a third quarter market share of 43.6%.^[9]

Android has a large community of developers writing application programs ("apps") that extend the functionality of the devices.

Nikon D7000 DSLR Camera

 

Apparently shashinki has started selling them yesterday. For just body it will cost about RM3,950.00, if you want with the kit lens it is RM4,598.00. Will I ever be able to buy this? well don’t think so unless I hit a jackpot or sell a big piece of land. Anyway was reading about it and yes pretty much a replacement for D90 or so? Well the guys from dpreview said this:

“Although ergonomically, the D7000 is a very close match for the D90, its overall 'feel' is considerably more serious, thanks to a magnesium alloy body shell and thicker rubber coating on the hand grip and rear of the camera. In terms of its specification, the D7000 actually outguns the D300S in many respects, and at 16.2Mp it offers the second highest resolution of any Nikon DSLR, behind only the 24Mp D3X. All of these pixels are packed onto a newly developed CMOS sensor, which is almost certainly the same or very similar to that in the Sony Alpha SLT-A55. As well as extra resolution, the new sensor also offers a higher 'standard' ISO span of 100-6400, expandable up to the equivalent of ISO 25,600.”

Yes it has a 16.2Mega Pixel!!! It is just really a un-resistible thing to buy for me if I had the money of cause haha. Anyway here are some of the Nikon D7000 Key feature:

• 16.2MP CMOS sensor
• 1080p HD video recording with mic jack for external microphone
• ISO 100-6400 (plus H1 and H2 equivalent to ISO 12,800/25,600)
• 39-point AF system with 3D tracking
• 2016 pixel metering sensor
• Scene Recognition System (see 2016 pixel sensor, above) aids metering + focus accuracy
• Twin SD card slots
• 3.0 inch 921k dot LCD screen
• New Live View/movie shooting switch
• Full-time AF in Live View/movie modes
• Up to 6fps continuous shooting
• Lockable shooting mode dial
• Built-in intervalometer
• Electronic virtual horizon
• Shutter tested to 150K actuations

The body size is practically the same as a D90 body have a look:

Front view between D7000 and D90

Back view of D7000 & D90

 

When being compare looking at the picture I use from dpreview. They both resemble a lot  other then the alloy body and 16.2MP they share almost the same feature except the D7000 have some better qualities:

Higher resolution sensor (16.2MP vs. 12.3MP)

Choice of 12-bit or 14-bit NEF (RAW)

1080p HD movie mode

Limited movie editing functionality

AF possible during video shooting (but we're not over-optimistic on this score)

Live View switch (basically the same as D3100)

Faster AF in live view mode.

Twin SD card slots

Non-CPU lens data function (allows registration of up to 9 non-G lenses with manual apertures)

Magnesium alloy body shell

Wider ISO span (100-25,600 including 'H1' and 'H2')

Newly developed 39-point AF system

'Quiet' single frame advance mode

'Proper' mirror lock-up (as distinct from 'exposure delay mode')

Lockable drive mode dial

Higher maximum frame rate (6fps) with a Continuous Lo shooting option (1-5fps)

100% viewfinder

Choice of 12-bit or 14-bit NEF (RAW) recording in compressed or lossless compressed formats

Up to 9 'non-CPU' lenses can be registered (same as D300s/D3s/D3X)

New EN-EL15 lithium-ion battery

New MB-D11 battery pack (magnesium alloy construction)

 

Would say it is meant for Professional and not for a newbie like myself haha

DiGi BlackBerry Torch 9800 – Hotter and Smarter

 

 

BlackBerry Torch 9800

 

The BlackBerry Torch 9800 only cost RM1499.00 with Digi 24 months contract. So what is really special about this PDA phone? Has a 624 MHz processor, can last Up to 5 h 40 min (3G) talk time and it uses BlackBerry OS 6.0. There are more but well that is up to the person who really want to buy it for the function and not because everyone else is using it. But pretty much even a kid should have no problem operating this kind of phone usually it is the parents haha Anyway Click here for more Details.

This is one of the phone I would not mind buying if I could afford it, first of all it has a touch screen and where it is way much easier just touch then press a button. But no worries if you hate using a touch screen or can’t get used to it to send an sms, there is the blackberry QWERTY keyboard. Just need to slide up the phone and you see the hidden keyboard on its two layer surface. 

There is also the BlackBerry Internet Service which is a addon of RM10 per month. BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS) allows BlackBerry users to access web-based POP3, IMAP, and Outlook Web App (not via Exchange ActiveSync) email accounts without connecting through a BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES).

As for application there are tools like UberTwitter, Facebook, and many more for download from BlackBerry Appl World. Some are free and well most of it are charging for a fee. With the build Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n in you can online in most of the place which provide free Wi-Fi access to download the application. 

Then again most of you guys out there would want to get connected most of the time, while waiting for a bus, or in the LRT maybe sometimes in the toilet? It will cost you a lot if you plan to get connected on your normal line plan. But with Digi you get to enjoy the best smartphone deals and set the Internet free for only RM68/month with DG Smart Plan™. It's the only all-in-one plan for BlackBerry®, HTC, Nokia and all other smartphones. Have a look at the brochure:

I would say the price is reasonable, almost half less from what most of the retail store are offering. Don’t like the default browser? well there is Opera Mini too for BlackBerry users just head to m.opera.com with the default browser on your BlackBerry device and weee you can easily install the Opera Mini.

Pretty much I would say it is a must buy phone for I.T freak users more ever with its elegant design, curve, I am sure you will not be disappointed with its design and well known brand.

Much more with Digi you get to save more a lot more on your wallet.

How to remove Facebook Application

I bet more then half of the Facebook user don’t know how to remove their application. So why would you want to remove it? For my case, getting like over 100 notification asking to accept gift from a application don’t really make me feel happy. Not to mention facebook remove the ignore all or cancel all from this application function. I remember there was such function but have no idea why did they remove it.

Anyway lucky for Facebook user there is a help Center button under account just somewhere on your upper right side of the facebook page. :

So just click on Help Center then… you see all kind of stuff there just look for “Facebook Applications and Features" where on the next page you see less stuff. But you would notice the stuff you want is there “Adding, displaying, and removing applications". Removing application is the stuff you be looking for, but this is what they ask you to do:

 

How do I remove or delete an application from my account?

You can remove an application you have allowed from the Applications You Use page. To get to that page, follow these steps:

1. Go to the Privacy Settings page from the "Account" drop-down menu located at the top of any page on Facebook.
2. Click the "Edit your settings" link under the Applications and Websites section towards the bottom of the page.
3. Click on the application you'd like to remove. If you don’t see the application listed, you can find it by clicking the Edit Settings button towards the top right-hand side of the page.
4. You’ll then see an expanded view of your settings for that application. From here, you can click the "Remove application" link. Once you confirm you’d like to remove the application, it will no longer have access to your data and be removed from your profile, bookmarks, and your Applications and Games Dashboards.

 

Ok so WTF is all those complicated stuff, for real I don't really have a clue. A more easy way is just to click the link “Application you use” and on that page just click the “X” thing you see on the right side of each application and you get a box asking if you want to remove it just look at the step below:

 

Click on the X button

Click on the Remove Button

There you go, the annoying applcation is REMOVED!!! Click Okay and continue on with the rest.

 

I have pretty much got annoyed with all the notifications as I could not even find the notification I saw from my email that require me to approve someone who was tagged on the picture I uploaded!!! I might accidently clicked no on the notification or reject.. what ever it is called and yes that.
