Lively - New Product from Google

Lively, A product from Google which similar to Second Life. Or you can treat it like the Web Based version of "The Sims".

Allow you to customize your avatar, your room...
You can freely decorate the room with furniture...( with some free furniture they provided, you can also purchase other furniture or avatar if you wan)

Other than that, it provided the email service and friend list so that you can invite your friend into your
Lively Room.....

I am impressive with their 3D avatar, just that it is not useful for me, because i couldn't think of anything other than create the avatar and the room....

You also can visit to my room

What is Glubble?

It is a add-on for Mozilla to designed a browser for kid's use. The file size is just around 1MB, it will request you to register your account and also your kid's name after the installation...



This is a simple interface your kid will see on the monitor. One pop-up fullscreen that covered up whole window screen, you wont see the taskbar (unless you press "window logo" key). Glubble allows you to monitor webpage you kid wanna to visit....And the keyword they wanna to search.

Let's see i what result i got by key in "rapidshare.de" in the address bar

It prompt to ask the permission of my father ( i am the "Uncle Lim", i am not that old yet) and also the reason why...

Let say i log with "Uncle Lim", and my kid called "Smuffie" (Actually is my pet's name), she request for the permission. I can press Deny or Ignore.


Switch back to the Smuffie's interface and try to search the keyword "rapidshare" in google (My kid is smart enough to know what is google about), let seee.....


The result got totally altered....i got nothing! How about i love disney cartoon very much, try to search with Disney

Well, this is not the result i wanna to get! And why should i ask my dad about "disney"?



As conclusion....

What should be improve?
- google result altered to protect kid's, but the result is less accuracy of what kid really looking for, they couldnt even use search "wikipedia" in google....i not sure should what filter level should it be...
- since google result is totally altered....why not just come out a place where the kid can type in something like "Ask the Dr Owl", what they ask....they they hope to get the result...
- Google imaging search in Glubber crashed the Mozilla browser twice and not managed to try it
- It would be good if it come with a "Loading bar" or some "loading" indicator rather depends on the small tiny vista loading cursor...

Anyway...it is still a good try....

If you looking for something free browser to protect your kid to reveal to the Evilness of Internet....go to Glubble and download it..

I have a doubt about it, i sent an email to enquiry whether the touch n go 's card only has 10years life span. Their Customer Service response my email within an hour, which is considered very FAST response! THUMB UP! Malaysia's company should learned about this.

Touch n Go representative confirmed the info above is real. Regardless which date you purchase the Touch n Go, it will expired in the next 10 years. When the time come, you need to go to their authorized branch to get a replace card FOC.

Anyway, based on their statistic

No. of Touch n Go users: Around 3 million cardholders
No. of MyKad holders with Touch n Go facility: Around 1 million cardholders

If said 300k(just 3 millions/10 years) growth of user increase every year, soon or later the limitation of "10 years LIFE SPAN" would be a great problem in coming future that their touch n go card cannot pass through the toll machine and caused the long queue behind. Definetely not all users will cautions about this info, neither they know about when their card going to expired or when they bought the card.

I not sure about how their mechanism works, but i would suggest that

1. Take out the control of the 10years life span, i believe they can change their system. Make it never expired. Why they should make it expired and isnt it will be added more cost of making the same card, unless the card they will added in new features! Just like our mobile phone simcard from 32k upgrade to 64k for better storage.
2. If the 10years life span is a must, then at least print out the expired date on the Touch n Go card itself. Just like what Credit Card and all other member cards.....
3. Post that notice ad to the all the major newspaper about this issue
4. Create a web page which allow people to check their expired date by key in the serial number, so that the user no need purposely call and ask to check the expired date one by one, this will caused more troublesome jobs to Customer Service.
5. At least post this info to http://www.touchngo.com.my/, no one would know if no one tell. Who will know the card they holding and paying for got expired date.
6. Etc...etc...i believe they can think of other better ideas of what i thought of.

If any of you bought the card long time ago....please remember to contact their customer service through email or phone number to check your touch n go expired date.

无心约定

一位五岁大的小男孩被送进一间孤儿院里。
过了几天，孤儿院里的工作人员向院长投诉这小男孩很顽皮，不听话，
中午就是不睡午觉，常常一个人自言自语。
在一个下午，院长为了要调查究竟是否有此事，
偷偷的趴在地上，一步一步的爬过去，
不幸被那小男孩发现了，小男孩就赶紧躺在床上假睡。

第二天早上，院长就令工作人员带领这小男孩到办公室里。
小男孩从车上下来，就到处跑及大喊乱叫，
就好像怕进入办公室被人责骂（以前在学校里，当我们被令到办公室，就是那种滋味）。
院长见到了那小男孩，就把一个棒棒糖交给他，
他接受了，工作人员就把他送回孤儿院。

第三天，院长要见这小男孩，
像昨天一样，一下车就大喊大叫乱跑。
院长同样的，把一个棒棒糖交了给他，
把他送回孤儿院。

第四天的早上，一样的，院长也要见这小男孩，小男孩下了车，
他不像两天前，不再乱叫及乱跑。进了办公室里，他很自然的到处走动，看这看哪。
见到了院长，院长一样的，给了他一个棒棒糖。
小男孩开口说“你可以再给我多几个棒棒糖吗？
房里的其他男生看见我有，他们也想要”院长就再给了他多几个棒棒糖，
小男孩表现出一脸满足的表情。

院长摸摸了小男孩的头，然后就问“你平时乖啊？”
小男孩马上回应“我平时有乖乖的”
院长再问“为什么工作人员说你不乖呢？”
小男孩静静地了头不出声，一会儿，
小男孩小小声地说“妈妈没有来，妈妈说她明天会来，
如果我下午睡着了，就看见不到她。。。”
院长从五岁大的小孩口中听到一个出乎预料的答案，
又继续问“那你常常为什么要自己跟自己说话呢？”
小男孩回答“我一直对自己说，妈妈下午要来，不能睡，睡了就看不到妈妈”

听了这个，也许你觉得是个小故事，
其实这是我从一位院长亲口说的一个真人真事。
听了之后感到很心酸，一时的感触，就写了这个与你们分享。
一个小小的无心约定，却带给一个小小心灵的永远期待。。。

AOL drops Active Virus Shield (No more Free Kaspersky)

According to the NetworkWorld,
"Active Virus Shield had its own licensing complications. When it was first launched last year, it came with a licensing agreement that some said was overly demanding and would permit AOL to send spam or serve up adware to users at some point in the future. After media reports, AOL vowed to remove the controversial licensing terms. "

Today I want to download it, go to http://www.activevirusshield.com/, then only realize they dropped it off and then introduce McAFree VirusScan Plus, sorry, not McAFree, is McAFee.......not FREE...

SAD...sad..such a good antivirus and they choose to dropped it.....anyway...for those who still have the installation file for ActiveVirusShield, you still can use it until it got expired (Mine going to expired on 21-10-2007, two more months to go...)

Well...to be frankly, i haven't tried McAFee yet.....try to downloading it now... it only available for AOL customer only....therefore, if you want to get this free Antivirus, you have to go to http://www.aol.com/ to register the email for free....Make sure the info you registered in AOL is the "RIGHT" address, phone number.......else you wont be able to register it...

After got the account, go back to the http://www.activevirusshield.com/ and follow the instruction to download the McAFree..before install it...my advise is ...uninstall all your other's antivirus to prevent the "BLUE SCREEN" crashed your windows...

Any further informations, i will explain in next post...

Why Gal is more difficult to be understand rather than guy?

I guess...in many times, girls always concerned about this question "Guys are difficult to be understand"

Today i wanted to write a post of "Why Gal is more difficult to be understand rather than guy?"

Read the story below:

guy: what do u wish to eat today?

girl: erm..anything lo

guy: kopitiam food?

girl: duwan la...everyday working also eating the kopitiam food...

guy: wanna eat mamak stall?

girl: duwan...i not feel to eat spicy food now..

guy: McD or KFC?

girl: duwan...I just ate fast food 2 days ago

guy: Sushi King, ok?

girl: I not feel to eat rice....everyday dinner also eat rice although it is not really just only rice.

guy: erm........like that, how about secret receipe?

girl: ok la..cincai..we go la!

(*GUY THOUGHT: if like that, firstly you should just tell me you want to eat western food....)







One of the worst situation is when a guy make a gal angry.
guy: can you forgive of what i did just now, sorry...ok?

girl : ok.......
(Silent for few minutes....)
guy : do you wanna go shopping today?

girl: anything

guy : what do you wan to eat today?

girl: anything...

guy :........

guy : are you still angry now?

girl:.....yes i do

guy : but i already said sorry just now.

girl: ya, but i'm still feel angry.

guy : what should i do in order make you cool down?

girl: how do i suppose to know? isn't you should think it yourself rather you ask me this?

guy : .......(feel so innocent to say that)

guy : then why do you said "ok" while i say sorry to you? i thought it is already over?

girl: ya, but it doesn't make me feel better after that

guy : ...................................(SOOO INNOCENT)

(*GUY THOUGHT: if like that, what should i do if i cant really know what she think! HARD TO GET HER MIND!)




Based on the dialogue above, as you see, girl is more difficult to understand...they mindset design is designed in a way not guys can understand? If you not believe on what i say, look at the picture below.
