I'm begging Konami not to release newer version of this footy sim or else I will be end-up in hospital ward. PES 2011 mekas my day fully occupied.

For the last 7 days, my sleeping time is reduced to 3 hours per day. I just can't take my fingers off the gamepad (newly bought for the sake of PES 2011). Recently I just posted some of my collections of great goals from PES 2010 but now I'm making a new bundle of great goals from PES 2011. Aaarrrrgh... I want to take a break from my career and start a new career in playing games. But only for this thing.

At first, after downloading the demo it looks quite awkward on the movement of the player. It look somewhat jerky when making turns and body feint. It could be due to my notebook, because I can't adjust any performance effect settings such as resolutions and game details. However after purchasing the game and performed some tweaks on the settings, everything went seamlessly smooth and silky. I got glued!!

After some hours of mastering the skills and tricks, I am now competing at the highest stage, competing against the players in Top Player mode. I am shouting at the top of my lungs because it is ****ing difficult to beat.

The most interesting part of this new version of PES is the preset feints. What is this all about? You can combined multiple body feints and skills with the preset keypad settings. Say you want to combine roulette, scooping and mathiew feint and set it to left turns of the right analog stick. Just imagine with only a press of the gamepad, you are able to beat the defenders with the combination of skills and ultimately score a goal. And that goal becomes your classic collections. Wow!!

Do you want some more? You can now make your own stadium out of candies. Put your team players enjoying Halloween during a football match (buy this game if want to know what all these all about) and kicking pillow in a football match. Hahahaha...

Faces of players are virtually similar to their real-life counterparts. You can zoom-in to find some players hidden nipples...oooppps dimple or mole. Hehe maybe you can find the nipples if you're looking hard enough. Hey it's a man nipple not a sin of committing that.

The bottomline is if you feel that you are healthy today, I want to suggest you (football game fans) to buy this. Then you will feel thankful that you have been blessed by good health before. LOL. One last thing is I hope that if this is going to be the last version released, please add this goal celebrations, take off the shirt and cover the face with jersey and show-off logos or wordings which can be edited of the inside shirt. haha...I bet you this will make my day fully occupied again.

I'm serious! Sysinternal Desktop has drawbacks. There are pitfalls in some area of it. (Remember my second last post about multiple workspaces. How to work effectively with your laptop.)

What is obvious is that I cannot use mouse scroller wheel after second workspace. My Download Accelator Plus cannot trigger download window when I want to download files. These are among problems I encountered.


Anyway I found other alternative. Now I use Dexpot. What is best about it is that I can configure the look of every workspaces. The workspace can go up to 12 workspaces. Wow! Amazing! I can move the opened application between workspaces. What else hmmm..... No problems encountered at all with other applications.

I'm sorry I'm not here condemn Sysinternal Desktop but it is the truth. As a end-user it is my right to inform and perhaps Sysinternal Desktop team will solve this issue fast. Nevertheless, Sysinternal Desktop by far is lighter than Dexpot. It doesn't have to be installed on your harddrives. Download the zip file, extract and your ready to go. What do you expect from it. Small car small load lah...

Good luck and try yourself.

Sometimes when we are working with our laptops we often hope that it can display all open applications within the 14 inch screen. You know it is always in our wildest dream. However, I found a way how to work effectively with your laptop.

Much hyped iPad shows decreasing of popularity nowadays with the emerging of numbers of other tablet computers. Well-known manufacturers also lesser known manufacturers are now combating their way by producing their own kind of tablet computers to compete with iPad. Tablet computer enthusiasts can now have other options to pick which one is the best suits to their lifestyle and functions.

Listed below are iPad competitor currently available on the market

Samsung Galaxy Tab

Is touted as the best competitor of iPad. Price-wise, definitely Galaxy Tab easily beats iPad. Why? Because it is using open-source OS from Google, Android 2.2 Froyo. Features? obviously, Galaxy Tab wins this battle gloriously. No phone feature for iPad except only support for 3G connectivity. Galaxy Tab has two cameras on the front side and also at the back whereas no camera for iPad (maybe this feature will come in the next version, hopefully). Consumers normally will look into this feature bundled in a tablet computers, since they are mobile and have all-in features, and that will make their life complete.

GPS? Again Galaxy Tab leaves iPad in the dust. iPad is able to tell your position when you have 3G connectivity switched on.

How about storage? Internally, for iPad there are options to choose from i.e from 16GB, 32GB or 64GB. Galaxy Tab only has option up to 32GB. But iPad does not have expansion slot for expandable storage.

They are numbers of other features that I will not touch. Because I will be listing pretty much 20 other iPad competitors later on.


Cisco Cius

This networking powerhouse giant has their own tablet computer but targeting their market to corporate office or enterprises. Why? because of the features they put in. Consumers will not fond of these features that Cius has. The architecture of Cius designed heavily on Cisco networking layer, which normally meant not to be used for fun, hence, bring small features for individual tablet enthusiasts to play with.


Blackberry Playbook

Well, features for these two are quite the same. Playbook wins on the camera feature and iPad wins on internal storage. Playbook offers only 1GB of internal storage. Both equipped with WiFi but in terms of mobile broadband, Playbook can only have connectivity if connected to Blackberry phone via teethering. However, I can't really conclude who wins who lost because I have touched any of these two to get the feeling of them.

Toshiba Libretto

This tablet is very interesting. It has dual foldable 7-inch screen, both can be used as monitor at the same time or one can act as virtual keyboard. Really innovative product by Toshiba. Libretto runs on Windows 7. It looks like it is more like a netbook having tablet functionality, however this is one great innovative product we must look at.

ASUS eePad

Comes in two sizes 10-inch and 12-inch. Let's talk about the 10-inch. 1.5 kg is pretty heavy for this cute thing. Has dockable system which the tablet ends up to look like a normal netbook. eePad runs on Windows 7 and comes in 16GB, 32GB or 64GB internal storage. Connectivity? It has only WiFi support, no phone, GPS, 3G whatsoever.

Lenovo U1 Hybrid

IBM has one well-designed tablet under their belt which might give a scare for the competitors. Hybrid? Does it mean multi-function, combination of some features. Actually, this tablet can be detached from its casing, which initially look like a normal netbook with touchscreen. This is one hybrid feature. The other one is, it runs on two OSes, when it is plugged into the casing it will run on Windows 7, whilst detached from the casing it will switch to Linux.

Archos 10

Archos (the manufacturer) has been in the market for quite sometimes and has been trying to push their products experimenting with different OSes. With Android 2.2 it seems that Archos has chosen the right OS to skyrocket their product. Archos is targeting entertainment market with their gadget does not bundled with a lot of features. Mainly WiFi, GPS and TV antenna for those who are on the run and in need of pocket-size entertainment

Viewsonic Viewpad 100

Initially, we would say this is a Samsung product. Remember Samsung TV and Monitor product name. However, this gadget has got nothing to do with any of this products.
This dual boot tablet is powered by 1.66GHz processor from N455 variant. User can select to use Windows 7 or Android 1.6. Well, you can make calls from this tablet, however there is no support for 3G. Not yet at the moment. In terms of storage, it has micro SD slot which can support up to 32GB. Lucky for you, that this 10-inch tablet comes with 1.3mp camera on the front.

Toshiba Folio

What I like about this Folio is that its graphics is powered by NVidia Tegra processor. Powerful graphics processor with low power consumption. Design specifically for mobile devices. Siblings of Toshiba Libretto targeting lower end market.
Looking at the specs, it is quite fantastic. It supports 1024x600 resolution, it is pretty high resolution support for a tablet. It has HDMI port. Wow! It has also USB port and WiFi. Supports 3G, nevertheless, one big drawback of being Androids phone is that it does not integrate with Android market thus, downloading and installing Androids-compatible application will get you a headache.

CSL Spice Mi700 DroidPad
A Malaysian made tablet finally set foot in the market. All this while, CSL phones are targeting lower end consumers in the market, now it has set its standard a bit higher with the introduction of their first tablet. 600MHz Qualcomm processor , 512 ROM and 512 RAM seems to be sufficient for this baby in terms of its power house. With the emergence of Android OS, hence helping this underdog (CSL) to compete with other big names in the phone and tablet market. Among others, features like 3G operability, G-sensor, Compass-sensor, GPS, 3MP camera and Wifi can really attract potential buyers to harness the power of this tablet.

I had a chance to mingle with this baby as I accidentally came across it during my short visit to Lowyat. The tablet was on promotional road tour. The price offered at that time was RM1599. It did really cause me to think twice, to buy or not to buy. After 5 minutes of exploring, I concluded that, the responsiveness is good, picture and movie quality is good enough to take some movies or pictures if it happened that you do not bring your camera and viewcam with you. Application-wise, well it is Android, there are loads of open-source software readily available for download, zip-zap ready to play on the DroidPad.

There are actually some other tablets or iPad competitor in the market. Be wise to select the best that suits you. Popular brands does not really have plethora of features that really suit your needs. Do your homework first..read..read..and read. You will find one. May the force be with you

After watching the Google Docs video, I was amazed of how powerful the online application has become and yet it bears Google name on it. Google Docs brings joy to us like its name Doctor (simply call Doc) brings cheers to their patient.

Newly startup companies might be looking for this quite a long time. No cost will be charged for this and you don't get into headache managing all the licenses.

In my own opinion, what is the best features are the realtime collaboration and realtime updates which we can't find in MS Office products. As I am the IT support for my company, I frequently heard complaints saying "why I can't save this file. It says open for read-only". Now the solution lies before my eyes. I don't see why it is hard for the management to permit this kind of application to be used. Maybe others might complaint about compatibility with MS Office products. Why bother? Buy one legitimate (I normally buy the pirated one. but for company..you are dead meat) MS Office and install it on a sharing PC, which it is only used for version converter. Good idea isn't it?

This really motivates me to start my own company. Well this is going to be my little secret. hmmmm....Google Docs! one super application world ever produced

Is it good or bad? Generally it is good because of the feeling of belongings, hence assurance of protection. But when you tend to become fanatic towards asabiyah then this good thing will turn bad.

What "asabiyah" really means? It is derived from root word "asab" which means 'to bind' and "asabah" which means 'union'. Therefore they form a definition "a state of belongingness in a group or race". Nevertheless, there are two side of "asabiyah". Bad "asabiyah" when we start potraying fanaticism and chauvinism. Whereas the good side is when we cultivate bravery and solidarity. (quoted from article http://omairanas.sulekha.com/blog/post/2007/03/asabiya-the-sociological-view-of-ibne-khaldun.htm)

When Rasulullah PBUH travel to Medina (hijra) what He did first was to merge two tribes (Ansar & Muhajirin) together which clashed to each other. Reason being, Islam does not approve "asabiyah".

If we travel back in time and learn from the fall of Turkish Ottoman empire. It was started when one of the leader of the tribe in Mecca (the leader came from Bani Hashim Sheikh Sharif Hussain) rioted to declare their own independence from the Turkish empire. This happened after the leader met British agents and ultimately became their agent. His son then became the King. British found out that the weakest link in all muslim is when somebody touch the sensitivity of their race. This psychological warfare was really effective and this was the start of the fall of Ottoman empire. Starting from United Arab Emirates, British started occupation of other nations under the ruling of Ottoman Empire and lastly on 1918, British occupied the center of Ottoman empire and abolished the caliphate.



Additionally you can also read http://sejarahnagarakedah.blogspot.com regarding Islam empire devastation in Asian.

If we don't want this to happen in Malaysia, please get rid of this "asabiyah" ideology. Islam is the way and Rasulullah PBUH had shown us how successful Islam as the way of life. Asabiyah bring no good to us and that is why we need to get rid of it

This is my personal opinion on GST and why it must be abolished. What government said is that this GST system is a copycat of GST from developed countries. Is sound fruitful to your ears right? But let's look at developed countries per-capita and where we stand in the list. We are at no 68, sandwiched by Argentina and Botswana. Are those countries are developed countries! No!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GNI_(nominal)_per_capita

Secondly, how many Malaysian compared to developed countries qualify to pay for income tax. I don't know whether this number is correct or not, it is 15% from 12 million workers in Malaysia. And to qualify for that if I am not mistaken, you must be at least a salary of RM2500 and above to qualify. How many Malaysian enjoy that kind of salary. Let's rethink of lower income people, do they have to be included in GST?

These are only points that I have to counter the execution of GST in Malaysia. Government need to find alternatives in order to salvage lower income people in Malaysia. Help them they help you!

I like the idea of the movie Pay It Forward. How wonderful if our government can follow the idea from a movie created from a developed country.



The most important thing is, Islam urge Muslims to always help those who in need regardless of their skin color and never ask any returns.
