Since I was little, I was playing with DOS’ game like snakes, Mario Brothers and Prince of Persia (pixeled version). That time, me and my brothers had smudge dad’s keyboard badly. It had our fingerprints and bits of biscuits and tons of dust. I found that DOS is user-friendly and I easily learned LOTUS (DOS’ version of Microsoft Excel) when I was in primary school.

Then there comes the culprit which makes Mr Bill Gates becomes the richest man on earth. Windows has reached every PC in this world and it’s a phenomenon. After his genius invention accepted on worldwide scale, he breeds more Windows OS which are: Windows 95, followed by Windows 98, Windows ME and then latest, Windows XP. However, because Windows OS is totally conquering every unit globally, then along came MAC OS, and Linux (specially dedicated to penguin enthusiast). People have realised that Windows is not ‘that’ good actually.

Because of wanting to compete MAC with the brilliant graphic, Microsoft is producing a new baby namely Windows Vista. It’s birth announcement have been delayed to next year as some have tested it’s virginity and many made comments about and still have weaknesses thus its’ birth announcement have been delayed. I found many flaws of Windows (at this time being) and have some feeling of changing it to Linux (well, somebody plays a great role in influencing me either). Morevover, Linux is world-wide You can read the comparison in details, here. Plus, in terms of security, Az told me that there’s a hacker hacked Windows Vista in 20 minutes only. I guess I will gain my consumer right soon (but I still wish for dual-booting, but I guess myPC will be slower or worse, crash~).

So people, if you want to change to Vista just because of its appearance, you’re burning your own ass actually. There are several tips given by PC advisor (get the october’s issue!):

1. If you want the wallpaper, head to www.vistaultimate.com/wallpapers1.htm and you do the choosing
2. For the mouse pointer, visit this link > blognewschannel.com/index.php/archives/2006/07/03/get-the-new-vista-aero-cursors. However, the effect won’t be as impressive as the real Vista (don’t tell me i ddin’t warn you!). unzip the aero (an acronym for Authentic, Energetic, Reflective, and Open) cursors folders to your desktop, right click then install.
3. Control Panel>Appearence and Themes>choose the mouse pointers option to the left of the main pane. Click on the pointers and you’ll see the AERO cursors (alphablended) listed in the scheme drop-down. Scroll down the items in the Customize list for preview of the symbols that will appear, depending on the tasks.
4. Vista includes a range if applets that sit on your desktop and serve up the information that’s most useful to you. Known as gadgets, they’re similar to the widgets Yahoo offers for XP users and those Apple’s OS X Tiger includes. Head to widgets.yahoo.com and download the installation tool for XP.
5. By default, widgets supposedly stored in My Documents. Yahoo displays popular widgets and directs your icon to the system tray–where you can manage your onscreen applets. Press F8 to greys out open windows for an unobstructed of view of your widgets.
6. Another tool that’ll add some eyeshadow and blusher to your new Windows XP makeover~or Windows Vista lookalike makeup~ is by downloading desktop sidebar. You can get it from desktopsidebar.com. What’s good about it? Desktop sidebar ease your daily chores for displaying weather forecast, info on your PC perfomance, news headlines, yada yada.

So, more to look at: www.softpedia.com this site provides Vista themes. Basically, to install it is the usual way to install theme.

So, what do you think of Vista’s screenshot? Merely a makeover in order to beat MAC’s 3D look?

So I’m not totally against Microsoft, but I think they have been on top to long and there are OSs which perform better than Windows, so give it a try.

At the age of 8, where other girls are still playing Barbie and Bratz, where other girls are thinking of what to wear to party, where other girls fight who’s the princess etc; she’s reading 3 novels every day and have a critical judgement on world politicians.

Who wants to be clever as this girl? Everybody wants to be clever of course (duh!), a girl named Adora Svitak, aged 8, has already acclaimed as world genius kid at this time. Her father is a Microsoft programmer, her mother is a chinese. I think she probably inherit the wisdom from the combination of her parents. Wonder what makes her so genius? She likes French philosophy, reads 3 novels per day, at age 8 she already wrote 400 short stories and already have politic influence. From her statement:

Other girls worship Britney or Pussycat Dolls, she adores Eleanor Roosevelt. Even I myself don’t know much about her either. (What a shame Ainee, what a shame!) For your information, she’s fighting for world peace. She’s just 8 years old and already have a big dream. So people, time to think big and smart!

PS: If she saw my writing about her, I bet her’s is far better than mine *sigh*

If the Quran speaks on so many things related to science then why are Muslims not as advanced as the western world?

Peringatan buat diri sendiri: countdown–>68 hari lagi.

Sometimes, a hug is all what we need. Free hugs is a real life controversial story of Juan Mann, A man whos sole mission was to reach out and hug a stranger to brighten up their lives.

In this age of social disconnectivity and lack of human contact, the effects of the Free Hugs campaign became phenomenal.

As this symbol of human hope spread accross the city, police and officials ordered the Free Hugs campaign BANNED. What we then witness is the true spirit of humanity come together in what can only be described as awe inspiring.

In the Spirit of the free hugs campaign, PASS THIS TO A FRIEND and HUG A STRANGER! After all, If you can reach just one person…

THE NEXT VID IS an OST from top jdorama at this time being. tomoya kun,anata honto ni kakoii desu!

Salam Ramadhan ditujukan khas kepada semua yang membaca. Ramadhan kali ini lebih bermakna kerana ini kali pertama saya menjalani ibadah di bumi asing tanpa keluarga terdekat, juga Ramadhan kali ini mengajar saya tidak bermanja-manja juga menyedari hakikat sebenar puasa. Selama ini di definisi puasa di Malaysia hanya berlegar antara pasar Ramadhan, baju raya, kad raya, dan ziarah raya. Kali ini tiada seperti itu lagi. Tiada masakan Mak. Tiada leteran Mak mengejut saya bersahur. Tiada pasar Ramadhan. Tiada terawih secara ‘grand’. Tiada menonton Jejak Rasul, apatah lagi Al-Kuliyyah. Tiada juga nampak orang dibawa menaiki van jenazah bersama pinggan. Tiada lagi istilah manja-manja. Tiada pergantungan. Semua sendirian. Dewasa ini, dapat saya menyedari hakikat sebenar bahawa segala perbuatan, amalan, niat, fikiran, suara hati dan segalanya yang datang dari ini tiada kaitan dengan sesiapa pun, hanya diri sendiri. Setiap perbuatan yang saya lakukan diumpakan seperti lebuhraya utara selatan (PLUS?), jalan dua hala. Antara saya dan Maha Pencipta. Hanya aku dan Dia.

But dont worry , I wont get pissed off if you dont do it. There’re too many circulating that’ll come in your way anyway. 🙂

yeah, it’s IAD. not DVVT the kembara OK? I never knew about this sydrome until I read an article at scukz. Here’s an abstract from it. Credit to Khai (scukz owner/moderator).

Jenis-jenis ketagihan
1. Ketagihan mendapatkan maklumat :aku la nie, ske sgt skip2 topik dr wikipedia ke lain2 website. Ada je benda nak cari. O yeah, Asmah claims I’m resourceful about internet thingy too coz she said I always asks to refer to “www dot bla3 dot com”. Ops!
2. Ketagihan menggunakan komputer: yer, sehari x peluk PC mmg x sah. Thee hee hee.
3. Ketagihan bahagian bahagian tertentu dalam internet: email,
4. Ketagihan hubungan Cyber: YM, skype, MSN, e-mail.
5. Ketagihan Seksual Cyber: erk, nie bkn aku aa, nk access pon xleh kerna halangan dindingberapi (firewall daa) so how come I can addicted to cyber sex?

1. Sentiasa memikirkan tentang internet: oh iyer, sebelum g library pun check internet tgk buku ada ke tak. Nak naik bas pun check kat traveline.org.uk, nak shopping pun tengok price kat website. So convenient, just at our fingertip, how can you don’t use it?
2. Gelisah atau tidak tentu arah sekiranya tidak menggunakan internet: o yeah, blogging is my current addiction. Either bloghopping or blogging, both is a must. Well, currently I plan to buy PDA or just get O² XDA mini S, a tool which allows me to do my blogging anytime anywhere. Or else, I will be restless.
3. Sukar untuk berhenti dari menggunakan internet walaupun setelah menggunakannya berjam-jam lamanya: OK! I admit, if I plan to sleep at 12am or 1 am, my PC turns off at 2 or 3 a.m. Sigh. Somebody help me~!
4.Yang terakhir, mengalami gangguan psikomotor: My fingers move involuntarily and unconsciously like I’m doing typing. Yeah. I know it’s freaky but can’t help it.

My additional notes of IAD:

6. We do shopping online.
7. Online dating.

Well, do you have these symptoms? Do share with us (cewah, feels like Oprah la pulak).

Your Blogging Type is Logical and Principled

You like to voice your well thought out opinions on your blog. And if someone doesn’t what you write, you really don’t care! Serious and blunt, sometimes people take your blog the wrong way. But you’re a true and loyal friend to those who truly get you.

yeah, i like~

This is a message for girls out there who their boyfriends are far away (to protect them). i know how you girls feel and being independent is absolutely a brave thing to do. here are some tips:

1. do not panic. panic will only block oxygen ciculation to go to your brain as you are gasping more for oxygen for your lungs. in simple language, panic attack makes you think stupidly. so, first thing is, tell yourself not to panic.
2. be prepared always. swiss knife is so practical and multi-purpose. if you are not preapared in the first place, be creative. look around and find objects that can be used as weapons or people that you can rely to protect you.
3. always have vocal practise. we, girls don’t have much energy as guys but we have this high pitch voice which can be heard as far as 5 kilometres. so, chant this magic charm “help!/assault!” as loud as possible. 
4. wear good shoes. good shoes means quick run and good kick. maybe you will consider your safety factor when you buy shoes next time. remember, shoes means praticality.
5. if he is near you and there is no one to help you, remember this “kick his balls” as hard as possible. o yeah, good shoes do help. 
6. well, what are you waiting for? run-lah as fast as possible!
