Old look of Yahoo.com, have you seen it before?
Ever been to a website where you feel lost?
“Wait there’s so much information there. What do I want to do here actually?”
“This is not what I expected.”
“How does this thing work? Do I have to read a manual?”
“Is the web guy out of his mind? How come I need to see a useless Flash *everytime* in order to see what I want? Does he want to brainwash me?”
Certainly the so-called “web designers” aren’t doing what s/he’s supposed to do. Maybe it was her/his boss that made the order. Anyway I think it’s time for our websites to have another “modernization” going. Keep Reading »
CX Biz Class
On my way back from Manila to HK few days ago, I was prob the last person to check in and, luckily I got an upgrade from economy class to business. Taking the newest seat (actually been here for few yrs already) of Cathay’s business class I immediately feel that I’m superior. Yeah! One of the kings of the little jet! Serious all of a sudden I realize airline industry has been knowing what we want and that is, leg rooms and privacy. Keep Reading »
A set of pretty 3-story European buildings with a balcony
Headed to Macau last Sat just to check out Jan Lam’s re-run of his latest talk show. It seems stupid to watch this again but the catch is it’s only $88 per person, if we consider the whole package w/ ferry tix is only $388 (usually it’s $300 for each trip). These kinds of super deal always happens because the newest ferry + casino operator: Cotai / Venetian group enjoys using this kind of promotion to lure people there that exposes a kind of weird imbalanced life @ Macau.

USB is prob. the best connector ever for the 20/21th Century, but tonight I really feel frustrated by 1 side product: USB cables! Count yourself. How many USB cables you’ve received as presents from your dear manufacturers of electronic devices? I just did some counts:
1) from my E71 phone
2) from my old SE phone
3) from my new SQ28m camera
4) from my Panasonic camera
5) from my ex-generation Nikon camera
6) from my card reader
7) last but not least, from my dear iPod!
And tonight, thinking dumb, I was lazy to take out the cable from the back of the computer of my dad (who used my card reader), and thought maybe I could find a USB cable that would fit. I found and found, end up releasing ALL 7 USB cables don’t have identical I/O. Yeah the side to the computer is the same, but not the other side! I thought there should’ve been some standards developed, but did I just collect them all? It’s another area of wasteful ideas that so many people are throwing yet so many people are buying (I’m sure people would’ve lost some cables and need to get them). Can we do something about it??
Phew! After days of disappointment thinking “how come others can, mine can’t?”, I feel great that the stupid @#$%@#$^%$^ing shutter problem is *SOLVED*! K.O.ed!! I just want to share the pitfalls and solutions to this damn camera (still fun to play with).

Okay I made the number 29 up, I think I encountered more but didn’t count how many times already. Background: I wanna find a hd that works on both Mac n Windows. Ok I should say, I wanna know a way that works, because all drives theoretically can do that. But my 2-hr hope last time came to a waste. Keep Reading »
After more than 3 weeks of using Mac, I started to get used to it, and rely less on Windows (actually haven’t started the machine since then). I’ve started finding new programs to do my usual things like picture viewing, BT download etc. Since there are still quite a lot of software choices out there, often I’ve hit some mac forums to look for advice on which app is better. And I’m not alone: tons of newbies like me hit similar problems. But the funny thing is, most of them are frustrated. Keep Reading »
Indeed a beta, it still should’ve worked a bit better. The new browser in mobile market is a big news to the 3rd world smartphones, namely the Symbian and Windows Mobile phones. The reason it’s such big news is with the ongoing update of web tech, at least the big Nokia fails to realize it or, fails to think it should update our browsers continuously. So are the phones that are not smart, ex. my old SE phone. So Opera is our only hope of improvement. Opera is getting close. Keep Reading »
