While Malaysians have wait for a year for the launch of Maxis 3G in Malaysia, rumour is spreading like wildfire in the internet where the iPhone 3G successor, iPhone 3GS, will be launched at the end of July.

There is no difference of appearance between the 2 iPhones, but hardware wise iPhone 3GS is way ahead of iPhone with built-in video camera, voice control and more great features. (Learn more about the iPhone 3GS features here)

In case you are wondering whether you should splash out your cash on the newer version of iPhone 3GS here is the feature comparison chart that might help with your decisions:

If the rumour is true, Malaysians who have recently purchased their iPhone 3G must be so sad since they might have to spend another 3k+ for the new released phone. Luckily Apple have announced the iPhone OS 3.0 software update to enjoy the great new features. For me I wouldn’t mind spending more money to have a greater speed and those cool features, but god knows what price Maxis will introduce it when it first enter into the market

So will your purchase the new iPhone 3GS or stick with your iPhone 3G?

Hate the new Facebook interface? You are not alone.

A lot of Facebook users are not satisfied with the change. According to Techcrunch, 94% of the Facebook users are not happy with the home page revamp. Haven’t they ever heard of the saying “If it ain’t broken why fix it?“

There are people who don’t like the current view and tried to fix it by posting up tutorials on how to switch back to old version of Facebook, however just few hous later Facebook has fixed the problem to make sure everyone is getting to the current version.

So far there is currently no appropriate way to revert to the good old version. The other methods are complicated and rely on past Facebook data, which will all be removed very soon. It’s obvious that Facebook doesn’t like them and they will always be stopped. Don’t even bother to make any changes.

If you are frustrated just as any other FB users, join the Facebook group now & hope that one day Mark Zuckerberg will make any amend to the Facebook page.

Whether it’s baby diapers, hair shampoo, soap, foods, face cream, clothes or t-shirts, it’s all available for free on the internet if you know where to look. While there are many sites which claimed to send out freebies without any charges, they are normally scams that will grab your personal details & send you a ton of spams instead of free samples.

What you will get from List Free Samples are all legitimate free samples. No payment is needed, no credit card numbers, no cash. Just the address of where you would like the products samples to be send to.

Why is this website real? Sounds fishy to me…

Well, while it’d be nice to think that they’re just being kind, but the fact is that this is all about marketing. Most freebies are samples of products, given away in the hope that you might go and purchase the full-size version, or help them to tell your friends or relatives about this brand (Or what we known as word of mouth promotion). It doesn’t really cost much for the companies to send out free stuffs, since you will finish it soon & you will be tempted to buy a new one at any nearby store.

Sounds cool! Maybe I should ask for every sample?

It’s cool to have a bunch of free samples at your home, but if you are not going to use it why bother to ask so many of them? Otherwise it is a good option to leave it and let those who are really looking for the product & let them enjoy it. Remember, save our mother earth and don’t waste any natural resources

Few days ago I experienced minor problems when I installed the latest version of Wordpress to one of my blogs. After everything has been uploaded to the server, I created a sample post & tried to view it as a single post. When I clicked on it I was redirected to Internal Server Error 500 page. Not problem to get to index.php but things started to go wrong when i entered single.php. Here’s the full error description :

500 Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@your-domain.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Now some of you may have arrived at this page when you googled for solutions about this error. Basically errors occured because of the following reasons :

1. The file permissions for your WordPress files is incorrect
2. One of the rules in your WordPress .htaccess file. may be incorrect

If error occured because of the 1st reason, you should login to your web hosting account and look at the error log. There is a particular directory that is writeable by group. Change the permission to 755

If error occured because of the 2nd reason, copy this code to your .htaccess file :

# BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

# END WordPress

Hope this solves your problem
