New iPod Shuffle Released
2006-09-13 09:41:00
Apple redesigned their infamous iPod shuffle to now worlds smallest MP3 player. Holy shit, this one is really cute! The size is just slightly bigger than a thumb, aluminum body with a clip, reasonable prices of only $79 and come in 1 GB of storage. Only that operating system requirement; it need Windows 2000 with Service Pack 4 or later or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later. Why not XP Service Pack 1? I'm just confused! Apart from that, I like it. I've long been looking for a player that should be cool, light and not that expensive. I will sure buy this shuffle if only I ain't broke:)For more features and specifications

Google News Archive Search
2006-09-07 18:33:00
Google has launched the news archive search service recently. This is to search the old news articles from multiple sources on world wide web. How old? As old as 200 years of news, it's amazing, and very useful tool indeed."The goal here is to be able to explore history as it unfolded," said Anurag Acharya, an engineer at Google and one of the team behind the project."It's fascinating to see how people's attitudes and emotions have changed through time."I have searched the news about U Aung san in 1947 timelines and got to the article "End of Bogyoke" on Time.com on which it's described how Bogyoke was assassinated in details at that times.Source : BBC News

International Thinking At Its Best!
2006-09-05 13:31:00
Question: What is the truest definition of Globalization?Answer: Princess Diana's death.Question: How come?Answer: An English princess with an Egyptian boyfriend crashes in a French tunnel, driving a German car with a Dutch engine, driven by a Belgian who was drunk on Scottish whiskey, (check the bottle before you change the spelling) followed closely by Italian paparazzi, on Japanese motorcycles; treated by an American doctor, using Brazilian medicines.This is sent to you by an American, using Bill Gates's technology, and you're probably reading this on your computer, that use Taiwanese chips, and a Korean Monitor, assembled by Bangladeshi workers in a Singapore plant, transported by Indian lorry-drivers, hijacked by Indonesians, unloaded by Sicillian longshoremen, and trucked to you by Mexican illegals..That, my friends, is Globalization!

In quest of music player that can play all sort of audio files for my PC and it have to be light weight that consume less memory, so far Foobar2000 is the best I can find.I have already installed a couple of bulky software. My roommate bought iPod and I have to keep iTunes for him to synchronize with his Nanno. Window media player automatically came with window XP installation. Real media and quick time are also installed, as my browser beg for me to download so that it can play media files associated with such players. Since I don't want to mess up with my friend's iTunes music library, I need another good player for my own use and Winamp have long been my favorite for that purpose. Now I switch to Foobar2000.What's so special? foobar2000 is an absolutely freeware audio player for Windows. You do not need to ( or have to ) upgrade to pro because there is only one available that is free version! foobar200 do not have fancy skins like Winamp, but hey.. it's still cool for me. I...

Myanmar, 2006 Champion of Merdeka Cup
2006-08-29 20:45:00
Seems like South East Asia sleeping giant is coming back again, though it's still early to judge. Last night in Merdeka cup final, Myanmar defeat 2-1 over Indonesia. Under the coach U San Win, Myanmar is placed as the lowest team in the four nation tournament. But FIFA rankings has nothing to do with the actual outcome. Kyaw Thu Ya took the lead on 61st minutes. Then the header from the capatain Soe Myat Min on 85th minutes was enough to add the 2006 Merdeka Cup to their name as a four times champion. The last time they won the title was in 1971 as Burma. Congratulation!

Learn French for Free Online.
2006-08-29 13:00:00
Wanna learn French for free? Not just French, there are German, Chinese and spanish as well. Foreign Service Institute (FSI) offer several language courses freely available in an electronic format. Choose the language you want to learn.My recommendation is to download all texts and tapes to your machine first, then study them later at your free time. Because all contents are cramed into one page which make loading really slow, not wise to go over and over again to download unit after unit.[ Tip ] Use Firefox extension DownThemAll! for the mass download in one click.

Oddly enough, some dudes, come up with the strange idea, have recently launched the web site iPod Name s on which people who own iPod can register for $ 1 per year to name their things.In return, you will be able to:Show the world your iPod's NameContact other iPod users (if they have set that option)Obtain exclusive "iPodNames.com" rights to that name in the directoryShow the world what you have on your iPod.Is this one another web2.0 social site? I don't get a slightly thought on what they will be up to, as the site is in very beta.

Firefox Extension I like, I install

I once posted some useful Fire fox extension which I liked so that I installed in my browser. Since then more and more good extensions I came across are being added. The list are out of date now. And I've noticed I don't really like some that I mentioned back then. They are Googlepedia , Fasterfox and Performancing . In fact that three extensions are quite good and most of the folks find them useful. Fasterfox is still top of the three the most download extension. As for me I no longer need them. As my Firefox browser is quite fast already. I seldom find the same search in both Google and Wikipedia. I prefer Writely and Wridea over Performancing for blogging purpose.I think It's time to update them. It's also a good idea to have them collected together on line so that I don't need to worry the lost of extension due to the browser accidentally uninstalled. Now I have a back up of them in my blog!

Google Account Banned in Myanmar
2006-08-27 00:06:00
Bloggers from Myanmar are unhappy about the recent ban on Google account by country rulers. Since Google integration of its account to Blogger beta, access to Blogger signon box has been denied as shown in photo. It looks funny, it might be. But imagine when we are excited about Google announcement on new service that have been added, some people from my country are completely devastated. It's sad but true.Frustrated but not surprised, I'm used to suffer this experience pretty much before. If I'm not wrong, Yahoo! account have long been banned since the Internet access is available in Myanmar about six years ago. No warning, without a reason, no official announcement, this kinda things always happen. We just noted that some stupid political mind might involve behind the forbiddance.
