Motorola Droid RAZR M Unboxing

Have been months that I did not put any phone unboxing video here because all looks pretty much the same. However I saw it on pocketnow.com, check out the start screen of Motorola Droid RAZR M.



Other than the awesome start screen, the body is very very finger magnet.

SPAM: explained

Before the internet, spam is mainly the luncheon meat and stupid letters which ask your to copy 10 times and mail to 10 friends. But now spam could do much much more damages not only on emails, but social media. See the video for more explanation.

Detect Fake Twitter Followers

The best thing about social media is you can show off how popular you are. On Facebook, the number of Likes is the popular counter. While on Twitter, the number of followers is the evident of popularity.

There still no way to detect if the likes on Facebook is genuine or fake, but for Twitter, now there is a website for us to check the percentage of fake and genuine followers for most of the Twitter account, except for Twitter users that lock out their Twitter account from publicly visible.

This service is provided by statuspeople.com. You will need to give permission to statuspeople.com so that can use it. The first result you will get is your own fake Twitter followers.

This is my Twitter Fake report, as you can see there is too much of fake followers. This is because I am testing out an online Twitter followers exchange program, evidently the Twitter followers at the website are mostly fake.

Lets look at some famous people/website on the internet:
Modaco is a famous website regarding mobile phones and smartphones, most of the followers are real one, with 31% inactive. modaco has over 15k followers.

London2012 is the official Twitter account of London Olympic, but 30% of Twitter followers are fake! London2012 has 1.59 million followers.

Now, lets look at Twitter account of leaders nearby Penang.

First one is the current Chief Minister of Penang, Mr Lim Guan Eng. With over 40k of followers, less than 20% is fake, more than 40% followers is active.

How about this one? With over 858k followers, only 19% is active and  44% is fake!

How about ajib's counterpart at Singapore? Only 10% fake and 67% active. The guy above looks really bad.

Current USA President also have 30% of fake followers out of 19 million followers, but still ajib has the highest percentage of fake follower.

Okay, how about famous artist around the world?
Here is ladygaga, 30% fake follower out of 29 million followers.

Justin Bieber is better compare to ladygaga, 3% less fake followers out of 27 million followers.

Will Smith has 11% fake followers, and this is based on @willsmith, there are too many will smith on twitter with will smith pictures everywhere!

Samuel L Jackson appears in most of all the super hero movie, but so do his fake followers, 23%.

How about some of the richest people of the world?
Founder of Microsoft, Bill Gates has 37% fake followers out of 8 million followers. He is the highest among the 3 riches people I checked.

The richest of the richest is Mr Carlos Slim, he has only 8% of fake followers out of 200k followers.

Warren Buffet also has 8% of fake followers out of 108k followers. Btw, there are so many Warren Buffet twitter account, I picked the one that says official twit. You can try to search for him on twitter.

How about a famous artist in Asia?
Andy Lau has 23% fake followers out of 5k followers. This account that I checked might not be the real one, because 5k followers of too little for this super star.

Back to Malaysia, let's check for local famous artists.
Carmen Soo is one of the sexiest female artist, with only 14% fake followers, but inactive is 61%, that is very high.


Another sexy artist, Juliana Evans, 31% fake followers but more good followers compare to Carmen Soo.

This is the only twitter that I checked has 100% genuine followers. She is my wife, heheh.




How about you? Check your fake followers and comment on this post!

Asus Zenbook Teardown

Ever since Intel announced ultrabook, ultrabook become one of the most talk about laptop replacement for Windows operating computer. Every PC or Consumer Electronics or any exhibition, I am sure you will see computer manufacturers like HP, Asus, Acer, Lenovo, Dell and so on are show casing ultrabook. Since Apple's product is much more expensive than PC, I am still going to buy non-Apple product when I am going to change my laptop.

Since most of the parts on laptop are custom made, repairing would not be so easy, except CPU, RAM, and hard disk. I wrote an article on how to recycle the hard disk from a broken laptop:
http://outdatedpenanguncle.blogspot.com/2012/08/diy-portable-storage-give-new-life-to.html
So how does inside of an ultrabook looks like? Here is an teardown of Asus Zenbook UX32VD, one of recent good work of iFixIt.

Fake Name Generator

You found a strange website, it looks legit but somehow deep down inside you know something is not right. However you already spent hours looking for something similar, you don't want to waste the time. One more thing is you need to register in order to get the info. So what would you do? Proceed with your info and credit card information?



Fake Name Generator is a website that generate fake identify that can be use to register on the mentioned suspicious website. Beside fake name, this website also include stuffs like this [my comment in square bracket]:
  • Phone number [not useful if the suspicious website need to send a code through sms to the phone]
  • Website [okay, this looks like selling link]
  • Email address [Fake Name Generator claimed that the email is a real email address, you just need to activate it, this is useful because most website need you to validate the email via clicking a link that the website send to the email you use to register]
  • User name and password [useful]
  • Mother's maiden name [useful, maybe?]
  • Birthday [useful]
  • VISA/MasterCard, expire date and CVV2 [not sure how legit is this, I didn't validate it]
  • Occupation, company, vehicle, blood type [huh?]
  • Weight and height [errr.......]
  • Geo (GPS) coordinate [who would need this for registration???!!!]
You also can control the gender, race, and country of the fake name you want to generate.
For race, there are a few that are very interesting such as hobbit and ninja. As for country, it is limited to America, Europe, and Australia and NZ.

In advanced setting, there are option to choose the % of gender of male vs female. Example, you can choose a fake ID with 20% male and 80% female. Another advanced option is to choose the age group of the fake ID.

If you want to save the fake ID, you need sign in using google account.

Please note that this should be not use for any illegal activities. I will not responsible if you break any laws or regulation because of this post. :P
