Windows 8 - a game changer?

500,000 downloads in less than 24 hours. I guess there is still hope in Microsoft to bring a revolutionary OS to the market. People still have the anticipation toward new windows OS even after the pass failure. Windows Vista is not a great success, and Windows 7 is new but not so much of a breakthrough, it's what vista suppose to look it. And did I mention Windows Me is a total failure :). Windows 8 gave me the feel of Windows 95 time, a total transition from the old DOS 6 command line to color and user friendly GUI. Windows 95 gave user a total new experience. I guess not many people still remember that during the launch of Windows 95, it also introduce two new key to the keyboard, window key and properties key. I still recall that I change my keyboard just to experience the new Windows 95 to the fullness. Windows 8 will drive a revolutionary of touch screen user interface which started by Apple. I am not saying Microsoft is "copy cat". Apple started a revolution and Microsoft is just trying to take part and driving and pushing it. If you know the history between Apple and Microsoft, you would notice this always what happen. Windows 8 haven't officially launch yet and we would not know how consumer would response. Microsoft need a brilliant marketing strategic to gain back consumer confidence towards the new OS. It not easy for revolution to happen and I wish the best of luck to Microsoft. And Apple too :D

Sabuti, A Burmese Traditional Food

I came across this stall at the restaurant opposite Pudu Plaza. A typical Chinese restourant selling typical Malaysian food, watan mee, porridge, pan mee, and etc. Then something caught me, some Burmese selling something call Sabuti. From far it look like porridge. When I get a closer look at it, it is soup, like the Indian ox tail or chicken soup. My curiosity tell me to try it. I sit down and order 1 portion. They serve with salt and MSG. An extra RM 1 you will get the fried beef with chili and onion, I warm you...is super hot..at least for my standard. After my first sip and I know why they serve the salt and MSG. The soup is plain, pretty plain in taste. One might enjoy it but not me. I prefer my soup to be a bit "spice". I added the salt and MSG and the soup taste better. Please note this is not a healthy way of eating soup. Don't try it too often :D The ingredient inside the soup, beef and corn. Simple but filling and I can understand why the soup i...

They meet new friends at the circus and enemy, the Paris animal control, and has been travel across France, Rome, London and and return back to the big apple, New York City, Central Park Zoo. Again, the movie bring us a lot of laughter and joy. Marty will always so some silly thing, Alex will always save the day will some silly move, and Gloria and Melman will always silly and in love. I love this movie because beside the fun and joy the movie bring, the movie will always carry a positive message of true friendship and family value. I think I like this sequel the most and really touch by the scene when the they return to Central Park Zoo, a place where they called home and realizing they don't fell they are at "home". They suddenly felt that they don't belong to the zoo, they really belong to the their new family at the circus. The circus is the place where...
