  1. 3G? I thought 3.5G is on the way? Actually, 3G is nothing much, over-hype, IMO.
  2. Come to think of it carefully, the world of soccer have gone crazy. I was reading the newspaper when I came across an article with Darren Bent's picture on it. Image, 2 seasons ago, Bent joined Spurs from Charlton for 16.5 million pounds. To be honest, Bent was and still is an average player. Yet the transfer fee .... this is real ridiculous.
  3. Chelsea defeated Man Utd 4-1 on penalties to win their first trophy of the season, the Charity Shield. The game finishes 2-2 during normal time. The match thou is not without incident. Man Utd players, not for the first time, crowded and questioned the referee decisions. This happened at least twice. The trigger of it, Ballack's elbow on Evra face. The referee, thou near the incident, did not blow for an infrigement. Instead, the game flowed and Chelsea scored through Lampard.
  4. At the current moment, China and India is very much an exporting countries. Their GDP is dependent on US and the European countries. If the leaders for both the countries can pull up their socks and do a good job, given the sheer size of the countries and its population, they will one day overtake US and the global leader.
  5. Till now, there is no "big" news on the matter. It could be just another of the prediction that did not occur. And ain't we glad that it didnt come to realisation. Human know too little about the Universe and it wont be surprising to hear one day that there is actually another planet near Jupiter which is so small and covered by the shadow of Jupiter that it was only now that they have manage to capture picture of it.
  6. The flu is still very "alive". The fact that it is getting lesser news coverage is due to the fact that it have become so wide spread that containing it is impossible. If the fatality rate of it is as high as SARS, you be sure that the human kind is facing a monster as huge as the Spanish Flu. Having said that, there are incidents of the virus becoming resilient to Tamiflu and this is definitely not a good news. It could mean that the virus have mutated. So the advice is, better be safe than sorry.
  7. With the new season a couple of weeks away, lets guess who will win the league title. There is the usual big four of Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Man Utd. And then we have the likes of cash rich Man City looking to gate-crash the party. Outsider bet would be Aston Villa, who have had a brilliant season and will be looking forward to improving their league standing.For me, as an Arsenal fan, I will go for them to win the league title. But I know it will be difficult, having lost players like Adebayor (thou I think it is beneficial for the club) and Toure. But hey, the ball is round
  8. Rarely is there such "contest" whereby you dont have to do anything. In this case, it looks like the company is using the free car as an marketing tools. And they have succeed in getting 1) free publicity and 2) most importantly, leads.
  9. You would not want the chunk of data entered in the form to be displayed or embedded in the url ya? For get(), I would personally used it if it is to send none "personal" information, like sending of page etc. Anything else, I will use post().
  10. Size notwithstanding, I don't like the design. Everything seem to be in a mess. It does not give me a pleasant viewing experience. Think you have to arrange the "blocks" of info in a more structured way.
  11. Social networking site is touted as the tools for people to remain in contact with friends. I dont think that is the case. As you would have join at least one by now, you will realise how time-consuming it is. Instead of catching up with friends over the free time that we have, we spend it online playing with such websites. That will further "deplete" the free time that we have to meet friends. So tell me, is it a social or anti social networking site afterall?As for cheating, it goes everywhere, not only with such websites.
  12. Free will? There is no such things as free will. Human have the honor to choose the life they want to lead. Nah. It is circumstances that make them what they are. If there is a very good point about human, it is the ability to adapt and adopt to the new environment / circumstances.
  13. Design-wise, it is pretty good. The forum seem to be rather active with the number of posts that it manage to garner. But one thing, the big cross right on top. It looks so "ominous".
  14. Not all player switch club for money. There are some who is genuine in wanting to win some trophies during that career. As for Adebayor, he belongs to the former group of player.And not only had he left, Kolo Toure had left the Emirates Stadium for the blue of Manchester.
  15. Likewise, we have TV licensing in Singapore. Thou most of the time, we will be enjoying the channels from the cable tv provider (whom we are paying a monthly fee), we are made to pay for a tv license. Not only that, if we have a radio in car, we have to pay a licensing fee. If we opt not to pay, then we are not suppose to have a player in the car. You can choose to listen only to CDs but still you cant do so without paying the fee. So in total, we are made to pay for 2 services that we rarely or don't use.
  16. Not too bad the layout of the blog. One thing I dont like. In between articles, you have inserted some google ads. Thought it will be better if you could differentiate it from the content. Like having a different background color or such
  17. After courting AC Milan and Barcelona the previous season, Adebayor was at in it again. This time, he courted Man City and Chelsea and eventually joined the former. Not that it will upset the Gunners faithful. In fact, they are glad to see the back of him.
  18. That will not happen for a long long time. The atmosphere in Moon is definitely not for humans. Unless a place like that in the movie Red Planet starring Arnold Schwarengger is build. Then again, do not think about it, lest Moon gets polluted.
  19. I am kinda surprise that your fiance actually do earn from such paid-to-read scam. I have sign up for a few programs previously. Initially all is fine, with a steady stream of advertising that I faithfully click. After a month or so or when the amount is near the min required, the advertising emails suddenly stopped. And in place, came hordes of spams that I have never subscribed to. The spam is so bad that I have to forego the email address and sign up a new one.
  20. Interesting to know that the Youth academy could recruit in such a way. Guess any budding footballers who love to take the opportunity to train with Arsenal FC. Just curious, for successfully players, who pay for their accomodation and stuff during the "internship"?
  21. Hardware, I rarely do any upgrading except to add on more gadget. As for software, it will be once in a while.
  22. I have 2 plans. One is a 3MB and the other 10MB. Both are broadband. Reason why I have both, the former sucks big time. Internet signal always drops, be it wireless or cabled. Worse, their customer service always make us do things to check without actually solving the problem when we pass them the result of the test.
  23. Without a doubt, dog. They dont label dog as man's best friend without a reason.
  24. MS should be worrying now. Not only have they seem their market pie being eaten by Mac OS and Linux, they have to deal with the Google OS when it is launch. Will you switch from MS Window or Linux to Google OS?
  25. Some of the recommended program is interesting. I will be signing up for it and revert back if there is feedback.
