HTC Flyer - With mad pen skills

2011-03-05T22:34:00.000-08:00

Ever since the iPad 2 has been unveiled, it has been all the rage with almost everyone around me. I'm not a big Apple fanboy and despite having cool specs and a sleek design, it doesn't turn me on as much as the HTC Flyer and is missing something that the Flyer has - a pen. The HTC Flyer have the best of both worlds - a touch screen and a pen. Now I bet most of you will think 'Won't the touch

First Impression: angela - Soukyuu

2011-01-29T21:05:00.000-08:00

With the new Fafner movie premiered in Japan on 25th December last year, angela released a new single with the movie's opening themes, 蒼穹 (Soukyuu in romaji. Translation is Azure Sky). I'd say the song, Soukyuu, really fits the movie. It's also a huge change from her previous single Aoi Haru, but for some reason, Soukyuu feels a little messy but personally, I kinda liked it that way although it

Froyo on your PC

2010-12-22T18:51:00.000-08:00

Not possible? Think again. All you need is VMWare to install it and it's recommended to install it on an external USB drive. Even the WI-FI works so it's a great way to play around with Froyo if you haven't try it before. Too bad we can't make any phonecalls. Via: xda-developers Install guide: Android-x86

No more...anime!?

2010-12-14T00:29:00.000-08:00

It actually took me a while, no a couple of hours after reading that article from SanCom actually, for it to sink in my head. If you're interested, here's the whole article from SanCom Below.

Silverlight-tan PV!

2010-12-06T19:14:00.000-08:00

Now, this is interesting. Here's a silverlight promotional video from Microsoft Taiwan and Hikaru! The whole video you'll see later is in mandarin though, unlike Madobe Nanami's PV, and I don't have a slightest idea of what was being said. I would roughly guess it's an introduction of silverlight.

100 copies of Call of Duty: Black Ops looted

2010-11-09T04:13:00.000-08:00

I say either these robbers wasn't able to pre-order their Black Ops, extreme die hard fans or simply had a brilliant idea in selling them at a black market for a higher price. These robbers, armed with guns, raided a Maryland GameStop, 100 Black Ops game software, consoles and cash during their raid while the shop was closing. I can imagine the reaction of the cops when the shopkeeper reported
