TED: Bill Gates on Energy: Innovating to Zero

Factors that contribute to CO₂ emission.

Theres little we can do about
1. Population - increases with time.
2. Services Per Person - increases with time.

But, we can make a difference in
3. Service Per Energy - by better energy saving inventions.
4. CO₂ Per Unit Energy - reduce carbon emission, with renewable energies, Nuclear energies.

Finally, not just Bill Gates's wish. I'm sure is everyone else's wish.

1. As indicated in the graph - "Your Current Location", means YouTube actually recorded your streaming speed from different location?

2. The graph of "Your ISP/Network" means NUS speed is dropping steadily?

TED: Kelvin Kelly tells technology's Epic Story

A very good talk on what technology is about.

Some of the phrases that caught my attentions:

1. The confusion about new technology: Now the new default position about a new technology that come about is the "precaution principal"... when you meet a new technology, you stop, until it can be proven that it brings no harm.

2. The better way is the "proactionary principal": You engage with technology, you try out -
try to anticipate it,
constantly assess it,
evaluate the risks,
fix it, and
relocate it.

3. The response to a "bad idea" is a "better idea".

4. Technology brings us:

Thats why people leaves villages to the cities, because people always gravitating towards increasing choices of possibilities.

5.

Omnia 2 i8000 FPU enabler

After running the FPU enabler by NuShrike and Chainfire, we can observe significant improve in Floating Point instructions execution and RAM access.

Hope Microsoft and Samsung will focus the development for FPU support in Kernel level in the future.

Note: This is just a proof-of-concept by the developers, ie. NuShrike and Chainfire.

New Samsung Today (on WM build 21889 by Khuanchai)

Just flashed to the cooked ROM by Khuanchai (http://ow.ly/1akNk). Totally loves the new Samsung Today.
1. Less laggy.
2. Easy to customize the content modules.
3. Most improtant - Beautiful UI.

Some screen shots on the (new) Samsung Today and the message viewer.

p/s: Wanted to install Touch Sense 2.5 (http://ow.ly/1alqk) as my Items on Today initially, but I guess I don't need to anymore. Gonna stick with this for another while.

p/ss: My GPS working again on Khuanchai's ROM. Yay! Can run Garmin XT now! (Although the GPS on Samsung seems weaker compared to brother's HTC HD and other WM PDA).

愿与翁诗杰共勉之

学识渊博法理精， 扭转乾坤费猜疑。
张公百忍张良计， 且待华社做主张。
利益结合多不义， 民族权益谁关心。
貌合神离情难守， 你虞我诈离异多。
腐尸只因蛆虫起， 蝇虫纷飞促循环。
肯与砂翁相对饮， 隔海呼取尽余杯。

砂州吴得荣词

马华乱相与结局

马戏班中才俊多， 各显神通展才华。
瓮中捉鳖彰时节， 粉抹登场料中来。
老谋深算虽细粒， 翻江作海楚汉明。
君子之交为假想， 费尽周章总没份。
王者争赛芝麻事， 恩恩怨怨黄雀来。
十面埋伏甘自冒（贸），贪财广进祸根源。
心灵良知藏虚实， 陈仓暗渡财和权。
张冠李戴莫庆幸， 翻云覆雨马成象。
群川汇集何时在， 安家定国智勇全。
世事如棋还弗明， 无法无天统统来。

Positivity

Staying positive while sailing through this negative sea
vinz81

Was browsing thru blogs just now and saw this quote. This is exactly what I needed for this month. Everything seems like gg against me. Few weeks back, I saw a calendar that says those who are born in 1986 with the zodiac of Tiger) should do things extremely careful in Feb. I don't believe in these kind of horoscope/zodiac-sign thing... but things are just not gg well lately, since the beginning of Feb.

1. Lost my wallet - after I withdrew money and topped my Ez-link.
2. Badminton can't perform well on court - my final match.
3. Laptop crashed - after I've done my work...
4. (dont feel like listing all the suay-ness that I encountered until today (8th Feb)...

Haih, 3/4 months to go, and...

I MUST stay positive, and sail through this!
