An American and a China Man

An American was trying to show off his latest Intel Core I7 laptop to a China man.

He said, " You can ask me anything and I can find an answer on googirl."

Chinaman said, " Are you sure ? I am a wise man. Let us challenge each other. If I cannot answer your question, you pay me 5 dollars and if you can't, you pay me 50 dollars."

The American thought about it and think it is a good deal so he accepted the challenge.

The Chinaman start first, " What goes up a mountain with 4 legs and came down with 3 legs ?"

The American searched in googirl for half an hour but cannot find an answer for that question.

"Sorry, I can't answer that." The sad American said and gave the Chinaman 50 dollars.

Now it was the American turn. He thought for a while and finally asked his question.

"What goes up the mountain with 4 legs and came down with 3 legs ?"

The Chinaman answered, " I Don't know." and gave him 5 dollars.

enbedded device taking over desktop and laptop ?

There has been many reports saying that embedded device (smartphone, tablet pc) will replace desktop and laptop pc soon. Is this true ? Is it good or bad?

Well, it is true that there are more 'embedded device' running then real pc. Depending how you define an 'embedded device' is. Linux is running on many router, modem, mobile phone, microwave oven, refrigerator, car entertainment system, car parking meter, dvd player and many thing. You have been a big user of embedded device or Linux without knowing you are one.

Lately the technology movement in smartphone is really amazing. Nowadays you can get a powerful processor and a real operating system on a cheap smartphone. You can run tweeter, facebook, bittorrent, checking email and typing letter on it.

All this happened because all this devices doesn't depend on Microsoft and Intel. So anybody can make a cheap thing out of it.

Desktop and laptop sales is going down because of these device. But they will survive because you need them to do more complicated thing like CAD, graphic editing and 3D games.

Nasty fight within Sarawak Club

Check this page here. Many people has posted nasty thing about The Sarawak Club MC here. They thought they are transparent and cannot be found. They are wrong. If somebody sue them they are going to pay.

And check out this letter of reply by the club Honorary Secretary. You can see how nasty thing has became in The Sarawak Club.

Well. No human are saint in this world. Everybody are hypocrite. It is funny something so simple can turn into something ugly like this.

I hope all their members go to the meeting on 2nd October and sort this thing out. You must go no matter how busy you are. This is serious.
 

Why we should not buy iphone or ipad

I was sad because some of my friends spent their hard earn cash buying iphone and ipad. But form the technology point of view, they are low spec staff which cost 400% more than their reasonable price.

But the most important reason is because the software model the Apple is using. You can't just write a software and expect it to run on the 2 rubbish products. You have to submit to Apple and pay them money.

Even the super cheap smartphone has higher spec then these ipad and iphone. So save your money and buy a smartphone or netbook.
