noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 18 Feb 2014 11:52:00 +0000

I have spent almost 72 hours looking for the best solution to play clash of clans on windows 8.1 PC.

Below are the working files that enable me to play clash of clans on my newly upgraded 8.1 laptop.

Finally BlackBerry With A Working Video Call Using BBM Video on Z10!

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 14:52:00 +0000

After years of ditching my Nokia 3G video call for BlackBerry Messenger now I am glad that BBZ10 comes with BBM Video Call. Does this mean it requires the Z10 to be connected to a wi-fi? What is a Z10?

Well that is the latest BlackBerry model with many new features yet unfamiliar for the BB user. BB Hub to take a peek inside the hub for all app notifications.

Well there you go. BB10 with 1080p HD video recording and 8MP. If you bought one, please let me know if it is worth the price?

Team evad3rs Released evasi0n 1.5 To Jailbreak iOS 6.1.2 Untethered On All iDevices Except for AT3!

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 14:12:00 +0000

Recently Apple released iOS 6.1.2 to fix minor bug. Later, team evad3rs who is responsible for the untethered iOS 6.0 jailbreak released their evasi0n ver 1.4 for this jailbreak. However 2 days later they released evasi0n 1.5 to fix device restarting/crashing during jailbreak.

Apart from evad3rs, another jailbreak tool for iOS 6.1.2 was released by iH8Snow under the name sn0wbreeze. However, this jailbreak tool is only available for window users. Comparing sn0wbreeze and evasi0n, the latter is much easier with one click and ported to Mac, Window and Linux while sn0wbreeze requires too many steps including manually going into DFU mode.

Bad news for ATV3 owner because there seems to be no exploit to jailbreak the Apple 1080p unit. Airplay from jailbroken iDevices still works unless Apple did something to prevent this.

Before this, Santa was expected to deliver the exploits, yet the water snake couldn't help santa to deliver the ATV3 exploits, so we guess it is still a long way to go for ATV3 jailbreak!

Santa Claus Delivering The Apple TV 3 Jailbreak Early?

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 05 Dec 2012 13:38:00 +0000

The news is too good to be true. We are going into December now and everyone is waiting to ditch their ATV2 to get the new ATV3. Is this another scam to increase sale for ATV3 worldwide since Apple Store is giving a free delivery.

Well, I guess we will have to wait if the appletvjailbreak.com is the real thing right now. Below is the announcement on their website 6 hours ago.

Countdown To Apple TV 3 Jailbreak Software Announced

According to Apple TV 3 Jailbreak News Channel the countdown to Apple TV 3 jailbreak has begun as the team of developers working on the software are said to release the much-awaited program at the end of the week. Unlike other Apple TV 3 jailbreaks released so far, the new hacking software will work wonders on the beta version of the digital media receiver.

Analysts are constantly skimming forums and websites in search for news related to the launching of the first ATV 3 jailbreak. The prospects were gloomy at first because developers announced that the third generation of digital media receiver cannot be breached. A few weeks later, customers’ hearts began to throb again as analysts announced that Apple TV 3’s software can nevertheless be hacked.

Apple TV 3 owners that are anxiously waiting for the release of Apple TV 3 Jailbreak software should be patient and always check for news and updates at Apple Tv 3 Jailbreak News Channel official website.

Last week, the United States of Technology announced that the new Seas0nPass will be released somewhere around November 30 and it will give users the possibility to take full control of their devices. Even though Apple TV 3 has not been significantly improved from the second generation, there are still many benefits one can obtain after jailbreaking the new gadget.

Instead of the A4 chip that was used on the previous models, the latest digital media receiver features an A5 chip. The latter offers increased power, improved graphics and was purposefully designed to save battery. In addition, there are many other characteristics that have been added to the latest generation of chips, such as, face detection program, white balance and automatic image stabilization thanks to the inclusion of an image signal processor unit.

Apple TV 3 also features 512 MB and is capable of streaming 1080p videos. This features provide many more reasons to be glad that the team of developers is performing the final tests for the new hacking software. They have all reassured us that everyone will be able to download the Apple TV 3 jailbreak within the first days of December.

Anwar Ibrahim Is Never Sarawak-Friendly!!

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 04 Aug 2012 05:38:00 +0000

During the close door meeting with these distinguished PBB delegates, Taib Mahmud disclosed that Anwar was never friendly with the Sarawak Government.

At that time, Anwar Ibrahim was the Deputy Prime Minister and he was also holding the portfolio of the Finance Minister. When he was approached to reconsider the oil and gas royalty for Sarawak, he told the Sarawak delegates that it was not for discussion. And now when he is desperate for vote to embark on his journey to Putrajaya, he made the oil and gas royalty as a major manifesto to raise votes from Sabah and Sarawak.

Another issue was involving the request to extend the alternative road or build a secondary road for Sarawak central region. During the budget review, he promised the Sarawak delegates that he will approve their request for this secondary road connecting the northern region with the central region to promote economic development. However, he never mentioned about it when he addressed the parliament. This is another request from Sarawak being turned down. Yet now the PKR issue-monger always pointed out the road development issues in Sarawak which was set back previously when Anwar Ibrahim was the Deputy Prime Minister.

The third issue raised by CM was regarding the higher education system in Sarawak. The PM at that time (Tun Mahathir) already approved RM 300 m for the UNIMAS project in Kota Samarahan. However, Anwar Ibrahim being the Finance Minister and power hungry for the position of Deputy President in UMNO used this fund to build UMS in Sabah for the Sabahans to gain confidence to become the Deputy President since he was not that popular with the Peninsular UMNO members.

If you think Anwar Ibrahim will consider another economic or any development in Sarawak then you are mistaken because Anwar will perform anything to serve his purpose only. This is to show how selfish he could be as a Deputy Prime Minister! What more if he is the Prime Minister of Malaysia?

Taib joins 250 delegates for breaking of fast

Posted on August 4, 2012, Saturday

BREAKING OF FAST: Taib (sixth left) flanked by Ahmad Lai (fifth left) and Ripin in a photo call with representatives of five PBB branches.

The branches involved were Bekenu, Lambir, Piasau, Pujut and Senadin.

Earlier, Taib, who is also the party president, had a two-hour closed door meeting with the 250 representatives at the same venue. After the breaking of fast, Taib, together with the representatives, performed the Maghrib prayer followed by Isyak prayer and Terawih prayer, before flying back to Kuching that evening.

Among those present were Sibuti MP Ahmad Lai Bujang, Early Child Education and Family Development Assistant Minister and Bekenu assemblywoman Rosey Yunus and Lambir assemblyman Ripin Lamat.

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 21 May 2012 07:07:00 +0000

Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) will support every decision made by the Prime Minister Najib Razak for the candidates to stand in the next General Election! The deputy president of PBB told this after closing the State Health Department’s Quran Recital Competition.

The PBB machineries are now ready to roll out and rumble to force the opposition out of Sarawak. The grassroots leaders have pledged to maintain their stronghold. Rumour has it that Ahmad Nazib Johari is one of the names that will contest in Petra Jaya seat.However, the PBB youth will ensure that their leader, Fadillah Yusoff will not give in to PKR easily!

Nazib will be named as the new Chief of PKR Sarawak if he managed to wrestle the Petra Jaya seat.

Previously, Nazib contested during the State General Election at N8. Satok against the PBB deputy president, Abang Johari. He lost the seat and did not turn up during the election result announcement at the Kuching Civic Centre.

PBB all set for polls, says deputy president

Posted on May 21, 2012, Monday

KUCHING: Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) is all geared up for the 13th general election, said its deputy president Datuk Amar Abang Johari Tun Openg.

In fact, with its election machinery in place, he said the party was ready to be deployed anytime Parliament is dissolved.

Speaking to reporters after attending a function here yesterday, the Housing Minister pointed out that it was vital to make early preparations to ensure victory for all the party’s candidates.

“We are ready, only waiting for the ‘semboyan’ (trumpet) to be blown,” he told reporters after closing the State Health Department’s Quran Recital Competition at the old State Legislative Assembly complex.

To another question, he said PBB’s list of candidates had already been sent to the top BN leaders.

“We have sent the names of candidates, and now it is up to Chief Minister Pehin Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud and Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak to give the final say on who to be retained or who to be dropped,” he said.

He reminded all PBB grassroots members to give their fullest support to the party candidates.

Of the 31 parliamentary seats in Sarawak, 29 are held by BN including 14 by PBB.

A username and password are being requested by http://copycat91.googlecode.com. The site says: "Google Code Subversion Repository". This is an annoying pop-up and I know many people tried to solve this problem?

Warning as another Mac Trojan virus discovered
by: Staff Writers

Trojan virus spreads to computers via emails

It is more powerful than its previous versions

Mac owners told to install latest security update

THERE'S more bad news for Mac users.

An online security company has found another virus that has been infecting the Apple computers via a Java plug-in, spreading across computers when people open email messages with links directing them to malware.

The virus is the second to be discovered in a week, after news earlier that more than 650,000 Mac computers had been infected with a Trojan virus known as "Flashback".

The chief security expert of anti-virus software provider Kaspersky Lab, Alex Gostev, said the latest virus is called "SabPub" - an abbreviation of its formal name, "Backdoor.OSX.SapPub" and has the potential to infect more computers than Flashback.

“SabPub is classic backdoor Trojan, so it opens full access to a victim’s system for attackers," Mr Gostev told Mashable.

"Flashback and its known variants is a downloader and clickjacking bot, which means it conducts click fraud scams by hijacking people’s search engine results inside their web browsers.”

This incarnation of SabPub is also more powerful than its previous versions.
“In February, SabPub was exploiting a Microsoft Word vulnerability, which was fixed a long time ago,” Mr Gostev said.

“The latest version of SabPub uses the Java exploit to spread infection in a more effective way because the Java exploit is delivered via a drive by download, which occurs when people click on URLs with malware via email.”

The security expert also said the attackers appeared to attack specific targets and had a select list of victims that was not very large.

Mr Gostev said Mac users could no longer delude themselves that they were safe from viruses. Before 2012, experts had detected 300 kinds of Mac malware. This year, more than 70 viruses had been detected during the past three months.
“We recommend users update their systems immediately with the latest security update from Apple,” Mr Gostev said.

Car windscreens smashed during DAP dinner
Posted on April 16, 2012, Monday

ACT OF SABOTAGE?: Chong (third left) looks at a car which has its windscreen smashed.

BAU: The windscreens of 12 cars were smashed in an incident which happened at about 8.30pm near SK Jenny Restaurant in Kampung Sg Pinang here last Saturday.

Owners of the damaged cars were attending a DAP dinner at the restaurant when the ugly incident unfolded.

It was believed that the perpetrators had used hard objects, such as hammers, to smash the windscreens.

Although Rela personnel were there to help control traffic, they did not notice the crime being committed as there were no street lights around the area.

According to a Rela member, they didn’t witness the crime, but they did notice three people running away from the scene.

State DAP secretary and Bandar Kuching MP Chong Chieng Jen said the incident saddened him because such an incident had never happened in past dinners organised by the party.

He said the incident could be labelled a “sabotage” with a strong political undertone.

It was DAP’s first dinner in the Mas Gading constituency.

Chong said a party supporter who operates a car repair workshop had agreed to help the car owners fix their windscreens at a discounted price.

He added that the party would bear half of the cost.

DAP had lodged a police report on the incident yesterday morning.

APPLE UNVEILS THE NEW iPAD 3RD GEN??!!

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 23:12:00 +0000

The direction for iPad 3 or iPad HD released is too drastic. In the end they could only change the specs and upgrade the processor from A5 to A5X while maintaining full Retina display. Also add in or maintained the Siri function (can't be bothered with) and add a 4G LTE connectivity!!!?? Hey wait is this iPad 4G?!!! Nope just still the old name iPad!!!?

They pull up the price tag higher by $100plus depending on the size and connectivity added and the rumour about having 168GB is just another rumour!!!?? No more calling it iPad 3 or iPad HD but instead they are just branding it like the other Honda Civic or Toyota Vios!!?? Imagine if this is the 8th iPad Generation?!!! It won't be called iPad8 but instead just another iPad build 2015 or something!!!??

Credits to source

Instead of having more portability function, like USB port or HDMI port yet you still need to JB to enable this function or simply streaming by using cloud technology!!?? Apple still wants the stream via wireless connectivity and yes no poking into their iDevice except for charging purposes!!???

Credits to MIC and gottabemobile

New terminology included like iSight for the rear camera for full 1080p video recording, while front camera is called FT or Facetime!!??

Since iPad is not the major event maybe Apple TV got the limelight?!!! Well, it is yet another frustrating day!!?? iPad or Asus PadFone?!!! To those wanting to be keeping up with the trend, they will sell their iPad2 and grab this 3rd Generation!!??? The closest release date in SEA will be 16th March in Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia!!?? Maybe Malaysia have to wait like any other countries!!!??

Spec summary

Retina display
A5X Processor
5MP iSight and VGA FaceTime Camera
1080p Video recording
Dictation via Siri?
4G LTE Connectivity
0.40" ( 0.03 " thicker than iPad2)

This model has its own unique PIN to identify another owner in the BBM world. Apart from that, the model claimed to be juiced and beefed up with OS7. This has BBM AR Chat features. The P9981 will be a restricted edition and costs around USD$2000.

Microsoft Might Acquire RIM BlackBerry

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 01:32:00 +0000

Following the recent moves by Google to acquire Motorola, Microsoft was being speculated to approach Nokia and BlackBerry!??

This is to ensure that Google- Motorola will not be the only option around to bring entertainment to the living room. Apple has integrated AirPlay to ensure the smartphone could stream music and video to the living room entertainment system whilst Google-Motorola will work closely to ensure this is achieved in the near future!!??

This gives the Microsoft reasons to acquire Nokia or RIM BlackBerry to have vast resource and patent available to have the technology to stream and even inside in car-entertainment system if feasible!!??

Nokia chief says Android makers should be wary of Google-Motorola deal

By Christopher Williams, Technology Correspondent
Last Updated: 11:51AM BST 18/08/2011
Nokia's chief executive has backed claims that Google's $12.5bn acquisition of Motorola Mobility could mean problems for other Android smartphone makers.

Stephen Elop, who earlier this year signed and exclusive deal with Microsoft so that Nokia smartphones will run only Windows Phone 7, commented on the implications of the acquisition for Samsung and HTC, Motorola's Android rivals.

"If I happened to be someone who was an Android manufacturer or an operator, or anyone with a stake in that environment, I would be picking up my phone and calling certain executives at Google and say 'I see signs of danger ahead,'" he said.

Independent analysts have also suggested that Google may give preferential treatment to Motorola once the acquisition is complete.

Google has however presented its move as one designed to defend all Android makers in the ongoing smartphone patent litigation war, in which they are being sued by Apple, Microsoft and Oracle.

Motorola holds about 17,000 patents and Google released statements from all its major Android partners welcoming the strategy when it was announced on Monday.

Mr Elop also claimed the all-cash deal vindicated his decision to work exclusively with Microsoft.

"The very first reaction I had was very clearly the importance of the third ecosystem and the importance of the partnership that we announced on February 11, it is more clear than ever before," he said.

Google's move has prompted renewed speculation that Microsoft could acquire Nokia or RIM, the maker of BlackBerry.

BlackBerry Bold 9900 Review

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 01:22:00 +0000

The BlackBerry Bold 9900 is being given bad review when Telegraph give unjustified comments on the new model recently released by RIM.

Although the system is not comparable to gaming platform, the BlackBerry Bold 9900 is a unique model on its smartphone platform.
Apple and Samsung has its dispute and the IP injunction is in place in Germany and throughout Europe except for the Netherlands.

RIM definitely is in a different development paths and cannot be compared with Android and iOS Device. There is no Jailbreak and Root available for BlackBerry compared to both Android and iOS where it shows that BlackBerry has no flaw or incorrect programming to Android and iOS!!

I still prefer BlackBerry Bold compared to Samsung or HTC running Android!!

Apple iOS Device is too expensive for what I could still achieve on my BlackBerry!

By Matt Warman, Consumer Technology Editor
Last Updated: 10:57PM BST 18/08/2011

BlackBerry has made its best smartphone to date with the Bold 9900 – but the market has never been more competitive and other devices still outstrip it

The new BlackBerry Bold 9900 is a beautiful piece of engineering: it feels solid, expensive even, with its metal rim round the edge and its carbon fibre-esque backing panel. The keyboard is as good as a physical keyboard can get. The camera, the speakers, everything impresses and feels right. Turn it on and the vivid, bright screen looks as good as any on the market, iPhone included, and the touchscreen is responsive.

And the software, version seven for those who keep count of BlackBerry OS, is rather good. It renders web pages with speed and accuracy, email and BBM is as robust as ever. But that, in the age of Windows Phone, iOS and Android is simply not good enough.

The Bold's screen may be lovely but it is too small to do justice to anything. Its app store is called App World, but BlackBerry's world, like its share price, is shrinking fast in comparison to its rivals. Who would build apps for this platform, when the company's own PlayBook tablet already uses a new operating system, and all of its other forthcoming devices are set to do the same?

The 9900 uses a 1.2GHz, single-core Snapdragon CPU and has 768MB of memory along with 8GB of storage. The effect is to make the software on the device as good as it can be: everything from an almost imperceptible shutter lag on the camera to the speed with which menus appear or documents can be edited is excellent. And yet that's not enough either.

Use any Android or iOS device and the flexibility of a modern operating system is immediately apparent: the vast numbers of apps or widgets makes them feel like so much more than a mobile phone with email and the internet. Any user of Boris Johnson's London cycle hire scheme has, via their mobile, access to immediate information on where the nearest bike is, for instance. These devices can be life enhancing; the Bold's simply a lovely, somewhat enhanced phone. From a few years ago.

But there's hope for BlackBerry: they can make hardware this good and they've got a new OS in the works. If the two mesh well together and the firm doesn't go totally to pot in the meantime, it will be BlackBerry v Windows v Android v Apple. And for that completion, consumers should all give much thanks.

Unlike the ill-fated PSP Go, which would only play digital download titles, the PSP E-1000 will feature a UMD drive compatible with all of the PSP’s disc-based games. The new model will not feature Wi-Fi, but gamers will still be able to download digital titles onto the new console by connecting to a PC through Sony’s Media Go service. The new console is reportedly heavier than other PSP models, and will come in a matte black finish.

Air Asia Kills Fireflyz After the Share Swap Deal!!???

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 17 Aug 2011 14:16:00 +0000

The truth behind the share swap? As per now, Firefly will not fly to KLIA anymore which reduce the competition to Air Asia which will land permanently at LCCT. Firefly is a cheap low cost flight by MAS targetting no-frills flight and passengers. This is the target market for Air Asia. Having the allowance to land at KLIA is an advantage to fireflyz but now it seems that Air Asia has manipulated the tables and fireflyz might be terminated from service. This will cause fear to 20 000 employees of MAS whilst Air Asia will not be affected at all !!

Google to Acquire Motorola

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 17 Aug 2011 14:00:00 +0000

Larry Page the Google CEO announced that they will acquire Motorola on 15 AUG 2011. This is due to the success story behind Motorola strong foundation and innovation driven strategy.

However the acquisition will not change Android and Motorola. Motorola will be under a separate business and still maintained as the licensee of Android. Android will continue to be an open platform and Google will look forward to work with hardware partners that have contributed to Android's success.

The combination of Google and Motorola will not only supercharge Android, but will also enhance competition and offer consumers accelerating innovation, greater choice, and wonderful user experiences. I am confident that these great experiences will create huge value for shareholders.

I look forward to welcoming Motorolans to our family of Googlers.

KUALA LUMPUR: Universiti Teknologi Malaysia is now the country's highest ranked university, according to two online-ranking systems.

The two -- Webometrics (www.webometrics.info) and 4 International Colleges and Universities (www.4icu.org) -- determine university rankings based on the institute's material contents, references, visibility and scholarships through cyber-based activities.

UTM Vice-Chancellor Prof Datuk Dr Zaini Ujang said high ranking universities' contents and scholarly works almost always acted as a reference point for others.

"In today's context, where information technology and communication is the preferred method of information gathering, referencing is mostly done via online portals," he said in a statement yesterday.

The positions determined by Webometrics were announced on July 30. Coming behind UTM are Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), Universiti Malaya (UM) and Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM).

UTM is in 419th position in the world ranking.

USM is 428th, UKM at 462nd, UM at 552nd, and UPM at 589th.

According to Webometrics, universities in the United States hogged the top 10 positions with Massachusetts Institute of Technology at the helm.

The list continued with Harvard University in second place, followed by Stanford University, Cornell University, University of California, Berkeley and others, all based in the US.

Australia-based www.4icu.org placed UTM at 280th place against other universities in the world.

Zaini said UTM's success in attaining the top-position in the country was the result of the university's team spirit and hard work.

"The university focuses on our 'high impact and differentiation strategy' to enable the organisation to function smoothly and competitively."
