Cloud Computing Technology?

Back in year 90's when micro-floppy drive which has a capacity of 1.44 MB of storage was created, I remember I was always carrying a small verbatim box with me. Students thought it was so cool having to carry one. In my case, I used it to carry my ballpens, ID and four spare disks and one that contains all my personal documents like resume and other useful credentials.

Years after, came the USB (Universal Serial Bus) storage disk or what we call Flash Disk. It is very useful and way cooler than having to carry a micro-floppy box. Flash disk comes in various forms like cool keychains, credit card types or even toys. I have one myself which is a keychain that has a capacity of 8GB.

On July 31st, Google+ Will Delete Private Profiles

There are a lot of commotion after the release of Google+ and people were talking about them with different opinions and reactions. Some reactions are bad and some are good but how will people react about the deletion of private accounts?

My only reaction would be.... is my google profile even priate? I don't remember setting any private setting ever so what is this with private accounts? Probably, this private profiles were only used for sending emails and not accepting any (spammers)? Probably used by people having an affair?

Skype on my Facebook!

What! Skype in your Facebook? You might not believe it at first but it is true. I've checked it just now to confirm and it is so easy to install. By the way, it is also announced on their blog. Facebook is really getting bigger and better and badder (in a positive way). I am still quite shocked to see "Login with Facebook" button in Friendster and now the news of Skype and Facebook -thus the phrase "If you can't beat them, join them!". Don't you just wish you are FB's developer?

Guy: Yes, we are at Facebook and our video is public so smile!

The Android Addict!

I've been using my Samsung Omnia i8000 with Windows Mobile 6.5 for over a year now and it's just like a plain basic smartphone now. I only use it to call and play a few games. And since its camera broke down for the third time and the warranty expired already, I grew tired and decided to accept the fact that I lost the camera already.

Samsung Omnia i8000 was already considered a failure and just after 6 months of being launched they just stopped promoting it and went promoting the new ones. It was my first time to buy a smart phone and it sucks whenever I realize its value. I am sour-graping here people and a bit regretful of my decision to buy it. I bought it the same time as my wife's HTC HD2. I thought since it has a dedicated graphics accelerator it will be faster but I was wrong.

Okay, I thought "was that it for my device?" until months ago I've heard of people trying to port Android on Omnia i8000. Yes, they are making the Android available for my dull mobile device. I was so eager to use it but when I read the article it says that there are still a lot of bugs and a lot of features are still not working, so I waited. And I waited.....
