Pogo me!

IF you would think that this is an interesting idea, take a look at this:

It’s a 3D browser…. I wonder, do we need that?

Searching for Me



The first thing that comes to my mind was: How Apple-ized! And the simple design: How Google-d! And someone else agrees with me. The visual interface would most likely appeal to some, but I’m not sure how efficient the search mechanism itself.

It’s on Beta mode currently, and just like when Gmail and Wordpress (if I remember correctly) first started, you’ll have to submit your email address and wait for the invite.

Christmas gift !!!

It’s the the time of giving, well, in my case, it’s receiving…
And this is what I get:

Best Christmas gift ever!!!

A new laptop!!! HP Pavilion DV9202TX to be exact. It’s a 17″ desktop replacement laptop and I really like it alot.
My previous 15.4″ ACER laptop has gone kaput and I’ve been using my company’s laptop for the past few months, until this friend of mine decided to get me a new laptop for Christmas! Woohooo….!
It’s enormous on my desk… I didn’t really realize it when I saw it at the Simex 2007 fair. Oh well…

How’s the initial feel? It’s good! Though I had some hiccup at first due to the upgrade of RAM from 2G to 4G, that problem was solved by flashing the BIOS. I really like the big screen. Though the weight may seem a bit intimidating, but I suppose that’s ok…
The amazing specs truly put this piece above the rest of the current popular laptops. And I really like some of new functions which have been incorporated. The interfaces are good, both in placement and the number of them. The one thing missing is the thunbprint recognition function, but I’m alright with that since I don’t believe in using that anyway…

All in all, I think I have a great powerful machine. Do google out its specs and you’ll know what I mean… LOL

It costs about SGD2,300, but I offer to chip in SGD1,000 since it’s pretty expensive. Thanks K!


My new handphone

Sony Ericsson K800i

This is a long overdued post. About 2 months ago, I lost my phone, W810i. And thus I need to get a new one before I left for the Fraser’s Hill trip. Since I was thinking of getting a digital camera then, I decided to go for a phone that can double as that, and K800i came to mind.

The main thing is that it boast a 3.2MP camera. Cool.
The photos are generally good, as proven through those Fraser’s Hill photos.

I don’t quite like the feature to protect the lens though… don’t quite like the idea of sliding part as it will get loose after long usage.

The interface is pretty nice, Sony Ericsson-style. Since my first SE phone, which is K750i, the interface has been enhanced considerably well.

Overall, a good phone, a good buy…
