UNICEF has started a nationwide movement called "Get on Board" to provide the public with the information, insight and resources to stop child abuse. This knowledge will empower everyone to protect the children in our families and communities. Let us show our children that at least a 100,000 of us care. The more people who raise their hand to be counted, the stronger the campaign becomes to deter an abuser from hurting a child.

You can become a Campaigner for Children by hopping on our bus, and rallying others to join us on our journey to end child abuse in Malaysia. UNICEF has prepared materials for you to use to help spread the word and to get as many people as possible to sign up for children. Here are some of the things you can do to promote the campaign for children:

* Blog about the campaign.
* Donate your Facebook status message or change your profile picture to the picture of your designed hand.
* Email you friends. (We even pre-made an email template for your convenience)
* Create conversations on Twitter.
* Send a letter to the Editor of your daily newspaper.
* Organise a sign-up at your company, college, place of worship.

Get on Board and help us spread the word to stop child abuse today! What will you do today that is more important?

Let's unite against abuse.

The best apps for smartphone

Still under development, but it should be the best apps!

Skyfire abandoned WinMo

Skyfire has abandoned WinMo, the community is angry but Skyfire management is not doing anything about it.

http://support.skyfire.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=5992

What is Skyfire you might ask? Skyfire is powerful web browser for smartphone that support flash, mainly for WinMo and symbian. However recent Skyfire moved to apple apps store. Since then WinMo and Symbian users have problem accessing Skyfire. Web browsing using Skyfire was nice because the browser works with the company server to optimize the web content you surfing, but now not anymore for WinMo and Symbian.

Sorry, appls apps store is just way too good to earn money already. :P

What you see is NOT what you get

Usually when we read news papers or magazine, the models/artists in the articles or ads are super beautiful, not a flaw! Many years back it was make up, so you still can see a little bit of flaw. But now with photoshop, there is no flow, except sometime the "photoshoper" that made some mistake. :P With photoshop,the guys can be macho!

This video showing how the people in video/movie can be taller or slimmer or more macho, any way you like it!


So people, what you see in the movie/photo/magazine/blog/web is not always the real one. Don't try to be exactly like in the movie/photo/magazine/blog/web. What most important is your heart. :)

Digital will - what happens if I die

Nowadays everyone should already have at least an email account, facebook/twitter account, online banking account, blogger account, and many more online accounts.

Some accounts you might want to notify the readers immediately, but how do you do it without the deceased's password? No one would like their family members to suffer even more when they found out they cannot do anything with the deceased online accounts!

Run Android on Your Netbook or Laptop or Desktop

It's real. I have tried it on my laptop using Sun VirtualBox. You can also burn the iso on CD or make a bootable USB drive. No installation needed, just run the live CD.

ARM that solves Rubik's Cube

Which arm is better? Your own arm or ARM processors? See the video by ARM to show that ARM processors are really powerful to resolve Rubik's cube.

First video: Motorola Droid (using ARM processor and Android OS) solved 3x3 Rubik's cube in 25 seconds:


Second video: Nokia N95 (still using ARM processor, but not Android OS) solved 4x4 Rubik's cube in 15 minutes:


Third video: Android phone (Android OS with ARM processor) solved 7x7x7 Rubik's cube in less than 39 minutes:

Fired because of Twitter

Brian is back. Now he has a new video. The video tells a story of a normal person fired by his company because of what he said in twitter. So people, please be careful when you twit or said something in facebook. See the video:


Who is Brian you might ask? He is the one that created the iPhone4 vs HTC Evo video that got himself into trouble because his company want to fire him. See the iPhone4 vs HTC Evo (mind the language, parent guide required! ;) )

Windows Phone7 and XBox360 demo

Windows Phone 7 and XBox360 Live and Kinetic being demo during the keynote at WPC (Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference, Jul11-15, 2010).

I would want both of them!

See the video in IE (I tried FireFox, but can't see the video). You may have to allow IE to install silverlight if you don't have it yet on your laptop/PC.

Go to 58th minutes for the Windows Phone 7 demo. Go to 75th minutes (1:25) for XBox360 demo.
