Wedding's season

2005-12-13T11:49:00.000+08:00

Heard many weddings fall on the month of December. For me, had attended 2. Well the 1st one is from my secondary school buddy who married a Sasaran (Kuala Selangor) girl. I didn't join them for the morning session as I'm working on that day. So just went for the dinner only. Hmm, guess this is the 1st time I went for friend's wedding's dinner because I missed past few weddings before. What amusing is they hired Venga-Sissy-Boy to run through the whole event. Gosh, really can't stand with that guy singing & dancing on the stage. All of us just yelling him like monkies haha. Heard he's quite famous in Klang Valley as he's the only guy wedding's planner in this field. Check the video here... haha.. Anyone interested?

The 2nd one is from my cousin. Nowadays saw many people not hiring professional photographer & videomaker huh.. cut cost though. Luckily they have one here hehe. I brought my Canon mini DV there & only find out it's not working after fully charged the battery. Don't know why its cant display the object on the LCD where else the voice can be recorded. Dang, what a waste.. Since they're rushing to meet the bride, I finally decided to bring only my digital camera. It's my first time too to follow "heng dai" (brothers) to greet the bride. Heard some people got nightmare for this but thank God no awful foods & drinks for us hehe. Has been transfering all the photos & videos few times to my laptop due to the 1GB memory size can't hold up much videos.

Hehe, below is my naughty little cousin. Many said he looks like me. Hmm, his future seems bright then :p

Digital picture frame

2005-12-10T11:07:00.000+08:00

Amazing.. if this thing can support animated GIF & with reasonable price, I would surely get one. I will hang all over my house just like in Hogwarts, Harry Potter's school hehe..

Ever notice that all those digital photo displays are lacking one thing: a killer way to update them our damnedselves over the Internet? Well, Korean operator SK Telekom has heard our pleas for sanity and offer up LOView which allows you to update their digital frame via those 5 megapixel cameraphones our South Korean overlords are lucky enough to carry ‘round. Just snap the pic and dial *7777 to automagically upload the picture to grandma’s frame from your SK Telekom account. These 10.4-inch 800 x 600 digital frames come in a variety of styles and sport 64MB of internal memory expandable via support for all the major memory cards, a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet jack to plug into your home network (and Internet), and even MPEG-1/2/4 and DivX playback support. We likey.

Tesco Christmas presentation rehearsal @ TMC

2005-12-09T12:46:00.000+08:00

Phew.. I have left my blog in silent for quite a while. Suddenly felt like no mood to write. Perhaps, too concentrate on other things. Reading lot of articles, news & book. Maybe my health effected me much. Been sneezing & coughing for past few weeks. Trying to find a solution everyday to overcome it. I even changed my room furniture fengshui hehe.. but of course I wont forget to plea God for his mighty hands. Guys, pray for me.

Yesterday went to rehearsal at TMC. Is my first time to drive van to send the bunch of choir ppl there. As usuall, the clutch & steering will be the main problem. When I first pressing the clutch, it was like "oh my gosh", how come it's so tight. Few times it nearly loose from my slipper grips & that was worried me alot especially my slipper ;p Anyway, nothing is difficult for me hehe, few rounds can adapt with it already. Now I knew how pain Wen Ching need to suffer for his past contributions. Wen Ching, you are man!

Well, enjoying singing eventhough got a bit of sore throat during rehearsal time. Hmm, don't know about last rehearsal, this time they seemed already set the sequences of the songs & all of us are singing very well too. They took a copy of our songbook for combining all the lyrics into one book for conveniences. There's one pastor from Ipoh if not mistaken, where he came to visit us. Actually, he will arrange on the dancer part. So basically, next week they will come to have a run through with choirs.

After the chinese singing part, we rested & wait for the rehearsal to end. And there come the idea of photo session. Gosh, Mary so excited for it after I show her the monkey frame I took on her. Mary, can show it here ar hehe.. Don't want to spoil your reputation ler. And then, we kept the shooting go & tried on many many funny frames till the rehearsal end.

Btw, they said our idol Jacyln will be there with us on the first day of presentation which is next Friday. Cool huh. I think Mary will have chance to compete with her. See whose mouth wider hahaha..

O2 Xda Atom hits Malaysia

2005-11-25T14:59:00.000+08:00

Wow, can't expect it would so soon reach Malaysia. This little black mighty (AKA the smallest Pocket PC phone in the world) packed with lots of features including FM radio. What? Did I said FM radio? Well, let see what MobileWorld said:

O2 launched the XDA Atom just a couple of hours ago here in Kuala Lumpur.

I was there at the “party” to see for myself, the much anticipated PDA-Phone and I must say I was impressed, both with the Atom and the great event they put up. Those PR people sure are a jolly bunch.

The Atom is the extension to the XDA II mini and it is packed with even more features compared to its predecessor. What’s in it? Well….hold your breath, coz this is what’s in this beauty.

Intel PXA272 416MHz processor, 64MB RAM, 128MB Flash ROM, a 2.7″ 240 x 320 (QVGA) 262K-colour TFT LCD, stereo speakers, a 2-megapixel CMOS camera (with flash), IrDA (SIR), Mini-USB, a miniSD slot, an FM radio, Bluetooth 1.2, 802.11b Wi-Fi, tri-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support, a large 1500mAh Li-Ion battery, and Windows Mobile 5.0. It also includes a few notable O2-exclusive applications and plug-ins - namely, an equalizer for Windows Media Player 10 Mobile, O2 Plus, O2 SMS Plus, O2 MediaPlus (a Media Center-style application), and FM Radio……….whew!

O2 has appointed First Mobile Group (FMG) to distribute the Atom in Malaysia. But as always, good things comes with a price. The Atom will be retailing at RM 2,988 and should be available in time for this coming Christmas, said Mark Bellington, CEO of O2 Asia Pacific.

Caging sport

2005-11-24T12:01:00.000+08:00

Yesterday evening, my office organized a futsal match within departments at Kantanjaya Futsal Centre, Port Klang (opossite Dato Hamzah & Ampuan Rahimah school). The field looks small but I'm half life dying off after 15mins match. Dang, I quickily went out for a break after about 30mins match. Swallow all the water that I brought & that time still haven't took my dinner. For another 15mins, I went in again. But this time, I just last for 10mins & went for rest. Wow, my breathing & heart moving very fast until I have to sit on the chair to overcome myself.

Slowly, everything became normalized & suddenly felt something pushing from my stomach. Feeling like wana vomit & the pressure of the air kept pushing very hard through my throat. Uwek.. finally i vomitted. Again & again all the water coming out from my mouth. Yikes, I felt my expression would be like Emily Rose if you'd watched that movie. My view became darker. My colleague asked me to walk around in order to let the oxygen flows smoothly. Yes, I tried walk around & holding the fence but my view seemed yellow/brown. I thought I'll fainted there so I went to stick back to the chair & start calling Jesus... Gradually, my view became clear like adjusting the pc monitor contrast from 0 to 50. Well, after that I trying to walk around again & pick up some foods & drinks.

Phew, thank God! I'm totally recovered & felt like been healed. And that time, my appetite started to absorb food. Without wasting time, I went to have Pandamaran's economy mee + fried egg + 3 fish balls & a red bean sugar drink.

Well, that's given me a very big lesson. Ever since the blood donation, my body kept very weak. Everyday got coughing or flu. Wana do recording also no mood. For somehow, I thought I might be infected by Miao Ling & Jia Huei during bible class, hehe joking. Now I have planned to workout on weekdays instead of just Sunday only. Act before too late...!!!

12 mins hiking footage

2005-11-23T15:15:00.000+08:00

Sorry guys. Being lazy & dragging for so long untill now only completed the video editing. It's just a 12 mins video but its packed with full of laughter & significant moments during our 3 days 2 nights camp. I can't stop laughing everytime I review back while editing the video. Added the sound effects I guarantee its stunned you up!

The size of the video in WMV format is about 100MB (220x176). Luckily I found a bunch of free file host service that can offer more than 100MB file size storage. You may download it from here to your PC if you dislike to view from this page.

Hmm, I reckoned we take 12 mins time after our CG to play this video (in VCD) since some of them might not have internet access in their house.

ActiveSync 4.1 Released

2005-11-19T09:48:00.000+08:00

ActiveSync® 4.1 is the latest sync software release for Windows Mobile 5.0-based devices.

Microsoft ActiveSync provides a great synchronization experience with Windows®-based PCs and Microsoft Outlook right out of the box. ActiveSync acts as the gateway between your Windows-based PC and Windows Mobile-based device, enabling the transfer of Outlook information, Office documents, pictures, music, videos and applications from your desktop to your device. In addition to synchronizing with a desktop PC, ActiveSync can synchronize directly with Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 so that you can keep your e-mail, calendar data, notes and contact information updated wirelessly when you’re away from your PC.*

New features include:
• New partnership wizard to help customers more easily setup a sync partnership
• Faster transfer of data files including media
• Ability to sync photos assigned to contacts from Outlook on the desktop

ActiveSync 4.1 supports PC sync via USB cable, Bluetooth, or infrared connection.

Go here to reach download page.

Recently, I just downloaded the beta version & tried on my Axim X50v which upgraded to Windows Mobile 5. I noticed there're some slightly improvements on PIM synchronization but anyway, I dont use that at all. Heard Microsoft had taken away the WiFi sync, hence if you're using an older device, it's probably best to stick with version 3.x so you can keep WiFi sync.

Firefox 1.5 RC 3 Released

What's New in Firefox 1.5 RC 3

* Automated update to streamline product upgrades.

* Descriptive error pages, redesigned options menu, and RSS discovery.
* Better accessibility support.

Quake & Tsunami predicted in Malaysia & Singapore

2005-11-18T09:06:00.000+08:00

BANGKOK: Thailand's now iconic meteorologist, Dr Smith Dharmasaroja, who in Year 1998 predicted a killer tsunami would hit Thailand one day & was ignored, said S'pore & M'sia were also in danger from a future earthquake and tsunami.

"I believe the epicentre of future quakes will shift northwards, north of the Andaman & Nicobar islands."

"A big earthquake with a more northerly epicentre than the Dec 26 quake will generate a tsunami which will have a more direct route down to the Straits of Malacca, swamping S'pore and M'sia." during the month of december 05' and january 06'.

"As the sea passage narrows, more water will build up and the wave will become bigger. S'pore is relatively low-lying & quite flat, and would be badly affected. Remember,in Dec,the tsunami was 30m high at Banda Aceh.
At Khao Lak,it was 16m high," he said."

Dr Smith,70,retired as chief of Thailand's Meteorological Department well before last Dec's disaster.But before that, he had warned first in a speech and then in a memo that Thailand's Andaman coast was at risk from a killer tsunami.

Tragically his warning, although widely reported by the media, was ignored.

Government officials, fearful of tourists staying away, branded him a cranky and dangerous man. The authorities in Phuket castigated him & said he was not welcome to visit. After the tsunami, Prime Minister

Thaksin Shinawatra recalled him and made him the chairman of a committee tasked with developing a national disaster warning centre and strategy.

"I'm not happy that I have made the right prediction," he said. "Nobody can accurately predict an earthquake; you can only assume from historical data," he added.

He said big natural disasters occur in 80 year to 100 year cycles, apparently randomly across the world.

"If you speak out too much, forecast too much, you will get a lot of criticism, from government agencies, the tourism sector and so forth,"
he added.

Explaining the northward shift of future epicentres, Dr Smith stressed:
"This is no joke. I would like you to put this message out to S'pore and Malaysia. A researcher working on the hypothesis, who did not want to be named, said the research was on-going and final results were not yet ready.

Dr Smith said: "I have seen the simulations that indicate this and they look believable. From my own experience, it is possible."Only a few days ago, there was a 6.1 quake in the Andaman sea near the Nicobar islands, which is about 321.8km north of the Dec 26 quake. So, this is an indication that the epicentre is moving north."

Sony recalls risky 'rootkit' CDs

2005-11-16T13:55:00.000+08:00

Record label Sony BMG Music Entertainment said Tuesday that it will recall millions of CDs that, if played in a consumer's PC disc drive, will expose the computer to serious security risks.

Anyone who has purchased one of the CDs, which include southern rockers Van Zant, Neil Diamond's latest album, and more than 18 others, can exchange the purchase, Sony said. The company added that it would release details of its CD exchange program "shortly."

Sony reported that over the past eight months it shipped more than 4.7 million CDs with the so-called XCP copy protection. More than 2.1 million of those discs have been sold.

Departed from church around 8:40am & had our Dim Sum breakfast somewhere in KL, which are the place they started the Jacobwell & Reject Shop things, lol.

We reached IRCMC 35 mins earlier but unable to set our band stuffs yet as they having some bible/prayer class which occupied the sanctuary. Luckily, we had few rehearsals before & things run smooth excepts, I forgot to play the intro solo for the 2nd song when repeating verse1, sorry guys..

After the service, we spent some time with their worship team & given some advice while running their Christmas rehearsal. I found out God has done something here where there're quite talented although not many of them. But always be reminded that talent is just 1 part of it & not the main purpose of worshiping as God is looking into our heart.

Ehemm, our idol Mr.Daniel (aka Jonathan) quite famous there. Kept busying giving his autograph from beginning till the end, lol..

Well, we end up lunch at Mid Valley Kim Garry. It's kinda nice experience & btw, our next mission to Setiawan on ar? haha..

Bye Bye Yi Fu

2005-11-07T18:05:00.000+08:00

Pastor Yi Fu (aka Ah Fuk in doraemon) has gone back to his beloved country China. Sent him to airport yesterday with one of his "thong bao" in Bible Seminari, which are flying to China too. Luckily I didn't drive Kancil as their luggages are extremely huge & heavy. Maybe inside kept billions of rupiah hehe...

Anyway, he will be back by next year January to continue his study & you guys still have the chance to meet him here. Though he has not much friends here but he can be very close & humor until his hand put on your lap :S if you know him well. I like to watch him laugh cause this is something unusual as he think more than he laugh normally.

Ok, that's it. More photo here.

Paradise's workshop & concert

2005-10-31T17:56:00.000+08:00

Well, I went to Glad Tiding PJ last Saturday to attend Paradise's workshop. This is the first time I went to GT & it was like wow! They have nice indoor carpark (hypermarket type) & impressive auditoriums.

Just before we've been scattered into relevant workshop, Pastor Paul (aka team leader) took his role to share us some of the key values that we should practice among a worship team members. Thanks to Dell PDA for letting me to jog down all the precious key values as following:
- passion for God
- passion for music
- understand the value of "Yes"
- be possitive
- be realistic & serve within your strength
- a heart to serve

Once again, I've been enligthen with Mattew 6:33, and this is really an awesome verse for a worshiper on scaling their heart towards God kingdom & righteousness.

For the workshop, ow.. I went for the bands session & it was cool & fruitful. Learnt few things there especially on bass guitar. Now I know how to do "punch".. hehe..

All in all.. guess what, I paid RM20 but I got Paradise's Live Adore music book (cost RM50) & a photo with Guy Sebastian (priceless).. lol.. Never been so lucky for quite some time ago.. haha.. Thanks to Isaac anyway for inviting us to the workshops. You're man. Btw, the next day we went to their concert too in the same place but bigger hall. Got only few shots of photos since quite dark there.

Guess what ?

Why its called "Bluetooth" ?

2005-10-25T14:27:00.000+08:00

While I'm browsing through the Sony Ericsson website, found these articles kinda interesting, which explains why the cutting edge wireless connectivity is named as "Bluetooth". Here's how its goes...

The Viking king Harald Bluetooth goes down in history for uniting Norway and Denmark. Harald Bluetooth was a great communicator and skilful at getting people to talk to each other. However, little did he know that these skills would give a name to a cutting-edge technology more than a thousand years later.

2005-10-24T13:26:00.000+08:00

Yesterday our church organizing few activities such as blood donation drive, free medical consultation and health checkup at a discounted price (RM90 only).

Got chance to invites my friends Hoe & Jimmy to join the donation since they sms me for breakfast around 11am while I'm in the service, so I said might as well come at 1pm to join the event.

2005-10-19T19:08:00.000+08:00

Good news for fans of Malaysian Idol winner Daniel Lee. The 23-year-old music undergraduate has released his first CD single Mimpi (Dream) under Sony BMG, available in all record stores from today.

Innuendo’s Pot Amir specially composed the energetic song for the Malaysian Idol finale last month.

Pot, who took a day to compose the song, was inspired to write the lyrics based on the dreams and aspirations of the Malaysian Idol finalists.

Song producer Greg Henderson and 8TV chief executive officer Ahmad Izham Omar produced Mimpi.

The single was recorded last week and will be selling at RM9.90 a copy.

Daniel said in a press release: “Mimpi holds good memories as it was sung in the grand final of the competition.

“The song is unique compared with others that I have sung in the past.”

The CD single also includes Mimpi in minus one and Daniel's rendition of the Alleycats' popular song Jika Kau Bercinta Lagi.

Daniel's debut album will be released in mid-November.

The pop album will feature 10 songs in Bahasa Malaysia, Mandarin and English. Mimpi (in Bahasa Malaysia and Mandarin) and Rick Price’s Heaven Knows will be among the tracks.

Anyway, the whole atmosphere just full of laughers & coughing (Miao Ling & Jia Huei)... Click on below to view uncles aunties play kids games... enjoy..

They reached the top for about in 3 hours time but its only took 1 hour plus to reach the ground.

Finally, they managed to book a place for the 2nd night camp in Japanese village, Seremban. From the pics below you can see its has a piece of greeny grasses & surrounding by beautiful ancient Jap housing... sweet... The rooms & halls all are well designed with Jap furnitures & I guarantee u had save few thousand bucks from flying to Japan huh keke.. It would be nicer if everyone wearing the Jap costumes la.. Hait, so des ka.. sayonara.. haha..

So what you guys waiting for? Hurry up, sign up the form & return us asap.

Pump petrol tips

2005-10-14T10:03:00.000+08:00

Many of us are not aware that the petrol kiosk pump has a return pipe-line (in black). When the petrol tank (in the car) reaches full level, there is a mechanism to trigger off the pump latch and at the same time a return-valve is opened (at the top of the station) to allow excess petrol to flow back into the sump. But the return petrol has already pass through the meter, meaning you are donating the petrol back to SHELL/ PETRONAS/ CALTEX..........

So, once the pump latch is trigger, you may want to stop it right there rather then trying to made it look nice in the meter by rounding up the figure. (I notice a lot of people have this habit... right?)

Yesterday conference at Bkt Jalil was great. I guess its flooded with about 10K ppls in Putra indoor stadium. All the performers & artists from Hong Kong did turned up as promised & they'd done it very well especially the 2 HK stars. Quite enjoying on the way they testified God. They're just pro man.. Oh, Dato Chai Lui Meng testimonial was great too. I guess many has been touched by his words.

I left the event around 11:30pm which by the time, they just started to share & summarize the purpose of the event. Saw lots of ppl already start moving out earlier & guess they might leaving with a "?" from knowing the meaning of these symbols "+ - x /" (the theme). Hope next year they can improve & cut down few programmes as for this time, it's just time consuming & the stage look plain & simple.

Anyway, thanks to God for his blessed & mercy as everyone had attended this conference with peace & love.

Pics of Chernobyl after the Nuclear Accident

2005-10-04T10:13:00.000+08:00

For those interested, this site has LOTS of pictures from the ghost town Chernobyl.

Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster

On April 25th -26th, 1986 the World's worst nuclear power accident occurred at Chernobyl in the former USSR (now Ukraine). The Chernobyl nuclear power plant located 80 miles north of Kiev had 4 reactors and whilst testing reactor number 4 numerous safety procedures were disregarded. At 1:23am the chain reaction in the reactor became out of control creating explosions and a fireball which blew off the reactor's heavy steel and concrete lid.

The Chernobyl accident killed more than 30 people immediately, and as a result of the high radiation levels in the surrounding 20-mile radius, 135,00 people had to be evacuated.

Farewell CG

2005-10-02T15:49:00.000+08:00

Well well well... what a big family... hehe...

What!? wedding..? no.. is a farewell party for our pastors.. After being serving in our church for about 6 months, it is time for them to move unto next God's mission.

Those junior are just keen to play fool with them la, since these would be the last time. Thanks to Boon Yau's family for letting us to use their place. It was awesome & wonderful (perhaps nightmare) day for pastors to get with us.

Frankly, over the past 6 months, i'm truly learned. Either in biblical class or cg, their words do reminding me sometime & open my heart to look things differently.

Their courage & faith had derived them into next level of life & it's not easy for us to travel & living alone in different places. Futhermore, they need to fit into the new envinronment each time they relocated & definitely there'll be difficulties, temptations & spiritual warfares. May God protect & comfort them with his words whenever they're weak.

Lastly, hope these scriptures can be their spiritual sword to protect them from evil one:
"Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes." [NIV, Ephesians 6:11]

Buy OSx86 Retail... in Bangkok

2005-09-30T15:15:00.000+08:00

While it may be years (possibly never, although I think it'll happen) before you can purchase a legitimate copy of OS X for your regular x86 PC, pirates in Bangkok have sped up the process, selling what they call a "retail" version of OSx86. According to Hardmac:

"Pirates of course took advantage of the osx86project.com community discoveries, in order to sell versions they dare to call "Retail Edition", for 6 Euro."

Six Euro? Around 12 Dollars? We find it appalling that someone would try to make a quick buck from someone else's (Apple's) work. And, for the record, we neither support nor endorse any of their activities, nor any illegal use of OS X for that matter. These pirates have used hackers' "cracks" from elsewhere, not "discoveries" from this site.

They do everyone a disservice. Here, no one wins.

Google and Apple Partnership?

2005-09-30T09:19:00.000+08:00

This one is interesting news. Google is in competition with the world’s largest software company with their search engine services. However, they continue to prefer Microsoft Operating System for their software products. However, the latest rumors circulating in media just might display another market where Google would be going against Microsoft’s products. Digital Media on the Internet is where Google plans to join hands with Apple offering competition to MSN Music online service.

The rumors of this possible collaboration between Apple and Google has helped the Macintosh maker set an all-time high on Friday after their deal broke with Hewlett-Packard on the sales of HP branded iPod music device. The reports claim that Google is forging a partnership with Apple where the search engine giant would be offering music from Apple iTunes for sale on their web services.

Keeping up with Sony Ericsson, Nokia has introduced the company's first wireless headset to make use of the latest iteration of the Bluetooth standard, version 2.0.

Powered by a non-exchangeable 130 mAh NiMH battery, the HS-26W claims a battery life of up to 5 hours of talk time and up to 150 hours of standby time, and is expected to hit shelves some time in the fourth quarter of 2005. Further information concerning the expected pricing of the headset was not available at the time of press.

The Palm Treo 700w Uses Windows Mobile 5

2005-09-23T08:37:00.000+08:00

Yep, Palm is using the Windows Mobile OS and Apple is using Intel processors. Did you ever think you'd see the day?

Anyway, Engadget got to play with the Verizon Palm Treo 700w for a few hours and posted some pictures. It certainly does look pretty nice running Windows Mobile 5. The 700w is even a bit smaller than the old Treo 650! It's got a 240x240 square screen, bluetooth, 64Mb or memory, 1Mp camera, SDIO and a thumb keyboard. Not exactly ground-breaking, but I imagine it should get some decent marketting hype in this country.

She's in the loo, I'll check her phone

2005-09-23T08:32:00.000+08:00

Almost two-thirds of Swedes secretly read their partner's SMS messages, according to research by mobile portal Halebop for Swedish operator TeliaSonera.

Some 64 per cent of those questioned this summer said they read their partners' text messages out of nosiness or jealousy, according to The Local. Most Swedes peek into their partner's phone when he or she is in the bathroom or shower.

Maybe there is an explanation for the distrust: 86 per cent of those questioned admit to have flirted with someone by SMS, while 40 per cent claim to have gone one step further: having 'SMS sex' with someone.

Swedes, it turns out, are a lot nosier than Brits. Almost half of British women, 45 per cent, owned up to secretly checking their partner's messages, compared to 31 per cent of men, according to a survey carried out by Sicap, a Swiss messaging services provider.

PSP on your TV!

2005-09-22T16:30:00.000+08:00

For only $120-$150, you can play your Sony PSP on your TV! You can even use a PS2 controller.

The PlayStation Portable has that bright, beautiful screen, but there are still times when you might want to see your handheld games and UMD videos up on a big screen. Sony originally considered adding a video out port to the PSP, but that feature was lost in development. Team Xtender, a hardware outfit which has made the MagicBox Xbox mouse/keyboard adaptor and a series of crystal console cases, has officially announced a device that will put TV-out features into the PSP at last.

This is a big computer

2005-09-22T09:48:00.000+08:00

Running 288 cpu's, 144 GB of ram, and only 11.5 TB of disk space.

Our in-house designed (Joachim Stadel & Ben Moore 2003), massively parallel supercomputer for running our cosmological N-body simulations. This machine consists of 288 AMD Athlon-MP 2200+ (1.8 GHz) CPUs within a few cubic meters. Under load it produces about 45 kW of heat, about equivalent to 45 electric hair dryers operating continuously! This amount of heat, combined with the extremely high density necessitated a new design for efficient cooling. The 144 nodes (2 CPUs per node) are connected using an SCI fast interconnect supplied by Dolphin in a 12x12 2-dimensional torus. The layout of the machine is ring-like, thereby allowing very short "ribbon" cables to be used between the nodes. This fast interconnect network attains a peak bisection bandwidth of 96 Gbits/sec, with a node-node write/read latency as low as 1.5/3.5 microseconds. Additionally the zBox has 11.5 TBytes of disk (80 GBytes/node) and 3 Gbits/s I/O bandwidth to a frontend server with 7 TB of RAID-5 storage. This is among the fastest parallel computers in the world! At "first light" it ranked in the top 100, but the technology advances quickly. (see top500, June 2003: Rank 144) (see top500, November 2003: Rank 276)

O2 Xda Atom

2005-09-21T14:17:00.000+08:00

Being a pda enthusiast, I pretty love this upcoming model compared with HTC Wizard, Typhoon & Apache. Its had enhanced with EDGE, FM radio, 262K colours display, 2MP camera & 128MB ROM, which makes more sense/realistic instead of having GPS feature where only certain country are supporting it. Furthermore, the black steel body will make it more gorgeous & absolutely tempted which Xda Mini owner always hoping for. Anyway, it's expected to be released in early December.
So, I think it's worth for an upgrades to those Mini owner..? I guess so..
