Life, what is it all about?

Saw this video posted by a lot of friends in Facebook.

Most people's first reaction/impression is that - This is a very noble project - It educates people about what we only need everyday - Food, Energy, Medicines, Entertainment (in the form closest to nature). On top of that energy saving, reduce waste consumption...

But what comes into my mind is rather different after watching this video.

It make me worry for those people who live-life-simple and not willing to update themselves to technology. I'm not suggesting that we should buy phones for kids, but rather, educates them how to harvest knowledge using technology. There are just so much we can do with technology to find information very quickly, communicate and share ideas with the rest of the world - To improve this world.

The best real-life example now is the political shift in Egypt. Its because of social media technology like Facebook, and Twitter. Knowledge can flow to people around the country. And power-greedy dictators around the world can no longer keep people in the dark and keep on manipulating them. People start to speak up and rights can be protected.

These kind of shift of paradigm is what important to improve the world.

Just imagine what will happen if everyone starts to live-life-simple... there bound to be tragic incident like Second World War, where hundred thousand of helpless civilians in Nanking were murdered; or in Libya now, where innocent citizens were shot because Colonel Gaddafi ordered to battle against rebels "till the last bullet"; or in China, were the central government block and filters access of information to its people in order to counter "'Jasmine Revolution", some of the activist even got caught and never returned ever since.

This world is still full of power-hunger people. And it will always be if not everyone has access to knowledge. Only technology enables every single person with equal chances to reach out to knowledge.

Amazing Art

Samsung Galaxy Tab II and Galaxy S II pics leak out

More at engadget.com

After reading through the comments, I find this is the best that describe my impression about Samsung.

I don't care what their hardware is like, after owning a Galaxy S nothing will ever convince me to buy another Samsung product that required them to write even a single line of code. Samsung is so horrifyingly bad at software it's unbelievable... (source).

Samsung failed badly in software.

I own 2 Samsung phone - i8000 and i9000. Running on Windows Mobile and Android.

If its not XDA-developers who came out with the ROMs, lag-fix, and patches, I would have been stuck with crappy-laggy software (OS). Samsung tried too hard to come out with their own software customization, and failed most (if not ALL) of the time.

Samsung phones have good hardware specs. Seriously hope they will stop customizing phone software and let the OS-makes do their job... before many start to switch over to other vendors.

But they are excellent hardware manufacturer.

The new hardware specs for Galaxy 2

...the new Galaxy S II is just 8.49mm thick as compared to original Galaxy S’ 9.9mm. Also, the phone has a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Plus display, 1GHz dual-core CPU, Android 2.3 OS (Gingerbread), HSPA+, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n and weighs just 116g... (source)

Some of the future hardware specs that looks promising.

1. IBM and Samsung announce patent cross-license agreement. - Is a 5.2GHz z196-based Galaxy S just months away?
2. Samsung Galaxy S II and 10.1-inch Galaxy Tab II confirmed for MWC - Samsung is apparently working on a 4-inch WVGA display with 3D capabilities and an intriguing "Motion UI" control scheme. The latter will allow you to pan inside Google Maps and StreetView just by the movement of your phone, as well as zoom in and out of pages by tilting the handset up and down.

年初一

今早大年初一和阿姨到教堂去听福音，和看表妹的舞蹈表演。:)

福音主体为“知足，感恩”。我觉得这是人生中最重要的两个价值观。知足，所以我们才不会贪得无厌；感恩，所以我们才不会忘恩负义。才会时时刻刻抱着帮助他人，回馈社会的精神。

晚上到了姨丈妈妈家。团圆饭后，阿姨们讨论表妹的学业路程--是否该在 Poly 选修，还是先到 A-level 读比较 general 的科学课程,以便将来上大学还有选择科细的余地。大家都担心表妹会太早，在不清不楚的情况下，决定了她将来的路。有这么关心她的大家庭，真是幸福。虽然人多难免会出现太多input，但至少她能在解释的当儿了解更多。

明天就要上KL了，晚安！

新年快乐！

本来想回家庆祝农历新年，但是后来嫌转机麻烦（Sg-JB-KL-Kch, 回也是一样），结果临时取消了这个念头。决定在新山和 Auntie 过新年。
