Called the Nexus One and made by smartphone maker HTC, the phone will run on the search giant's Android operating system - around which Motorola and other cellphone makers have built devices - and will be sold online, the newspaper cited persons familiar with the matter as saying.
In the latest episode of the “30 Rock“, the TV show apparently synonymous with product placements and especially Apple products, a black laptop computer with a standout white Windows logo branding makes a brief but comical appearance.A brief shot from the front view of the laptop identifies the laptop as a Lenovo ThinkPad W500.
p/s: saw this laptop in the latest season of 30 Rock (season 4)..so I googled it!!hohoho
my temporary card..used it for 2 days only..huhu...
office at Parkson Wawasan Plaza KK
Parkson Wawasan Plaza office windows view
display stuff everywhere!
more old Christmas trees placed on the ceiling!
office full with Christmas trees!
my supervisor's a.k.a master (Mr Vincent) work desk
office at Parkson 1Borneo
editing & printing pop card!
Christmas trees!!
office at Parkson 1B at first..now more organized!
did my part time job at Parkson 1Borneo for 2 days then posted to Parkson Wawasan Plaza at town to assist our supervisor (Mr Vincent) for a week after that posted back to 1B for 2 days then I resigned to prepare for something. as a VMD (Visual Merchandising...err.. D stand for Display or Department still blur until now) also known as Visual Merchandising Artist. Thanks and really respect Mr Vincent for his dedication in his details work all these years (starting from the 1st Parkson at Karamunsing..I just knew there was Parkson before at Karamunsing..Mr Vincent told me!) as a VMD artist. No computer provided to print and edit a popcard or notice at Parkson Wawasan Plaza, all done manually (handwritten) by Mr Vincent till now. Good luck to Azmil and Hartono, my work colleague, still at 1B until end of this year. It's been great!!
followed my uncle and a friend of his for 4 days starting from 19th-22nd Oct 2009 to do some testing on radio communication signal around sabah except Kudat or up North Sabah (from Sandakan, Lahad Datu, Kunak, Tawau, Kalabakan, Tibow, Sepulot, Nabawan, Sook, Keningau, Tenom, Sipitang, Kota Kinabalu then back home to Sandakan).
visited Bukit Silam Lahad Datu, Gunung Andrassy at Tawau (highest point at Tawau if I'm not mistaken), Bukit Gemok Tawau, Sungai Imam Tawau, Maliau Basin at Kalabakan, some rural places like Tibow, Sepulot, Nabawan and Sook and visited a few Forestry Department branches along the way (each branch has its own uniqueness) . Didn't really get a chance to visit inside Maliau Basin and Bukit Gemok maybe later, hope so especially Maliau Basin, I heard the fee is expensive even more than Danum valley. For now, you'll not get any usual communication line signal along Kalabakan road until Keningau or Tawau even up hill Keningau-Sipitang road.
it was great, the view was amazing no words can describe it, see it for yourself if you have the chance and if you do go a.s.a.p because just like my uncle said, it will change soon and it will not the same again. I've seen there were a lot of deforestation for timbers and oil palms especially along Kalabakan road. We might see massive development at that area in the near future.
Acer is finally getting into the multi-touch game with its first all-in-one desktop with multi-touch input support. It will be going for only $899 (RM 3k ++) The Windows 7-based all-in-one computer has a 23-inch, 1920×1080 display. It has a A 2.6GHz Intel Pentium Dual Core chip, 4GB of RAM, a a 320GB hard drive.The Z5610 has built-in Wi-Fi, a webcam, and a 5W speaker system that provides virtual 5.1-channel surround. There are also six USB ports, and an eSATA port.
December 21, 2012 is supposedly the end of the world. There are many believers who fear the coming of this day. Here are some facts about the Mayans and some that are revolving around this day that is yet to come:
1) The theory of December 21, 2012 revolves around the Mayan calendar, a calendar created by a group of people that existed from 250-900 AD. They had advanced writing skills and are most famous for their pyramids and other structures. Many Mayans still live today, continuing age-old traditions.
2) The Mayans used different calendars and viewed time as a meshing of spiritual cycles.
3) Their calendars had practical uses and had a heavy religious element. Every day had a patron spirit, with each day having a specific use.
4) Using an innovative method, the Mayans were able to expand over a 52-year Calendar Round, which was a calendar system that could last 18,980 days within the course of 52 years. They created a calendar system found in the “Long Count”, a calendar lasting 5126 years.
5) The end of the world part was wholly based on an assumption that something bad is going to happen once the Mayan Long Count Calendar runs out.
6) How is December 21, 2012 the date when this calendar supposedly runs out? They used the numbers 13 and 20 at the root of their numerical systems with the last day occurring on 13.0.0.0.0. This represents 5126 years and the long count started on 0.0.0.0.0., which corresponds to the day August 11, 3114 BC. 5126 years later is December 21, 2012.
7) Many archaeologists and mythologists believe that the day 13.0.0.0.0. actually will bring an age of enlightenment. instead of the end of the world.
The Core i5 750 is the first release in a series of processors based on a mainstream version of the Core i7 platform. It is a quad-core part based on the "Lynnfield" architecture, fabricated using a 45nm process and will use a new LGA1156 platform. This new chip is set to cost just $199, it will operate at a healthy 2.66GHz and feature a whopping 8MB L3 cache, but no Hyper-Threading support will be present.
Turbo Boost:
The new Core i7 800-series CPUs and the Core i5 750 still support the same automatic overclocking functionality, or Turbo Boost, as the Core i7 900-series processors. However, this feature has been jacked up on the newer chips. Core i7 900-series CPUs will only increase their multipliers to a maximum of two additional steps according to system demands (effectively taking a 3.33-GHz processor to 3.6-GHz depending on how many cores are in use). The new Lynnfield processors are able to jump up five multiplier steps for the 800-series chips (taking a 2.93-GHz processor to 3.6-GHz) and four for the Core i5 750 (2.66-GHz to a maximum 3.2-GHz).
Performance
Both Core i7 800-series processors support hyperthreading the same as their Core i7 900-series brethren. The Core i5 750 does not-its four physical cores are all that will appear in your operating system's task manager. Even so, the CPU's noteworthy performance makes it an excellent value for its roughly $200 price.
