THIS IS NOT AN OS FIGHT THINGY… ITS A WINDOWS THINGY ONLY… PICK UP THE OS FIGHT ELSEWHERE PLEASE
I passed Engadget while checking my RSS feeds, then saw this and thought of giving it a shot…
I know I’m becoming obsessed about Microsoft Windows 7 (Why wouldn’t I anyway?)… But hey, atleast they got it right this time (Thats what I think considering the facts I’ve read and demonstrations I saw)…
Let’s just say the system boots in 20 seconds… Yes, Mac OSX and Linux can do it faster but lets not forget that Windows loads a crapload of services and its still in pre-beta stage (Though they’re probably gonna release the Beta version at January 2009… I read that somewhere which its not a confirmed fact yet)…
It looks pretty and Vista-ish… I was hoping that they’d change that loading bar below though… (NOTE TO MAC AND LINUX FANBOYS: PLEASE DON’T DO THE “THEY STOLE IT FROM MAC\LINUX” THINGY… I HEAR THIS ALOT SO FIND ANOTHER THING [and be creative]… PLEASE)
I’ll leave the video below and the link to Engadget here.

I started my car today and didn’t notice the fog until I reached gulf street… Good thing I had my camera along with me
Here’s few pictures that shows how invisible Kuwait Towers could be in today’s fog
As I keep telling everyone “Kuwait’s weather is controlled by a Random Extreme Values Weather Generation function (REVWG)… And the random number is [4] (Assured by XKCD)…
So if you want to play “Silent Hill” or “Ghost in the Fog” games, it’s the perfect moment… Almost
Some Swedish researchers were able to create an illusion that makes men think they’re in a woman’s body and the way around…
They achieved such thing by placing some circuits over some fake models that and some cameras on the model’s eyes and connecting them somehow to the person’s body (by placing feelers to their body so if the models got touched, the feelers will feedback almost the same feeling… Well, more or less)…
But illusion can go only this far… As in you can’t fool a human to think he’s a box!! (He might if you slipped some caffeine pills or whatever :P)… Which floats a weird question; Would he believe he’s a guerrilla?
The good thing is, this might let cross-dressers think of using such think instead of wearing woman stuff and wander off in public disgusting others…
The bad thing is, things could go wrong and girls into guys and guys into girls!! (Which this woul be the only use for such thing here in Kuwait… And for the laughs and kicks :P)…
This would decrease the amount of cross-dressers and increase the amount of both (fe)male gayness here in Kuwait
But seriously… The concept is surprising and I think it’s original and new… I could be wrong though…
I wrote this program as a VB.NET practice on how to use System.IO … And turned out to something like this…
This software monitors whatever change occurs in (C:\Windows\System32) and logs every change and store them to a file… Including the ability to ignore desired events so you won’t be flooded with such thing…
It might consume resource and some extra pointless process, but it’s just my start since I’m not that good in VB.NET…
It’s a beta version, so expect few bugs and crap… Whoever downloads this file PLEASE provide me with feedbacks… Whether you like it or not, whether you can provide good pieces of advices or you can provide me with bugs found on the software…
According to the Vietnamese Internetwork Security Center BKIS, they were able to bypass the face recognition authentication thingy with a funny method.
To summerize the whole thing (ofcourse I’ll provide the source link), it’ll be something like this:
1- Log in with your face picture
2- Talk to someone (who wants to steal your authentication) over MSN Messenger or whatever and open your webcam to him\her\it
3- That someone will take a picture of you using your webcam
4- That someone will print that picture and use it as your face to log in
As simple and funny as that :P… Even though it might be harder to actually fill in their place with such thing, but I really laughed at the picture above… Reminds me of Team Fortress 2’s spy
That feature is provided in some Lenovo, Toshiba and Asus laptops…
This should draw a smile in my friend’s face (He’s a Britney addict for some reason)
According to Yahoo, Barack Obama holds the 3rd place in their search after WWE in 2nd and Britney Spears besting the results (Naruto on 7th… I bet its because of Kuwaiti Anime Fan wannabies who just started watching Naruto, Bleach and Death Note :P)…
I’ll leave the BBC Link to read more details about such thing
I knew this day would come… Now, Mac users can’t say “Mac OSX is virus free”…
According to AppleInsider, Apple recommends using VirusBarrier, McAfee and Symantic Norton softwares to protect the user… Seems like the “Get a Mac” ad about being more secured than Windows will fade :P…
This might not be an important call to start using anti-viruses for Mac, but it’s a call to warn Mac users that the poopism is coming…
Well, this should stop most of Kuwaiti Mac fan wannabies from saying “Mac is hackless… Mac can’t get infected” thing… It’s true its much less vulnerable than Windows… But won’t be for long…
I’ll just laugh my ass off when I see someone bringing his Mac to “DIGITS” in Kuwait (Marina Mall) because he\she\it got infected with a virus and the people in there wouldn’t know how to cure it
And according to Gizmodo, Mac only updated an old news… Which is like “We told you a year ago to get yourself an anti-virus and we’re saying it again just to remind you… So you wouldn’t say (You didn’t tell us)” :P… more or less :P… j/k
Here’s the new picture of what Mac update and Mac’s old news…
And here’s Mac’s “HT2550″ which, for some reason, the article isn’t there (But it’s there when I googled it… You can google “HT2550″ and see the first result, click on it and its “We can’t find the article you’re looking for.” thing…
Bottom line:
Apple just freeked out everyone with a little update to their old thing (It feels weird to ROFL over 1-year-old news)… Thanks blasha for pointing at the Gizmodo link, which in a way or another, proved that they’ve been telling you guys to get the anti-viruses a year ago (Though you wouldn’t need it… Yet)
I actually thought that someone is demanding a doctor called “Pepper” to be freed from being a hostage or prisoned or something…
This is not related to the article... Just a funny picture that I think it might fit
I passed by my iGoogle to see some urban legends. And clicked on the “Free Dr Pepper” headline and laughed after clicking it…
Apparently, DrPepper guys made a bet that Guns’n'Roses wouldn’t release their album by 2008 (after ofcourse more than 10 years of making) and if they did, they’ll give away free drinks…
Well, they did… And now they’ll have to giveaway free DrPepper drinks
Bad thing its only in the United States… I wonder if something similar would happen here in Kuwait… I’m imagining right now KDD is betting if the economic crisis would end in 2008 and things turn out like DrPepper and Guns’n'Roses
Seems like the quote “All your base are belong to us” really applies here
I just hope it’s not a n00B skiddie (script kiddie) who did this outta curious boredom :P…
It’s not like we’re having it easy in here y’know, our systems here in Kuwait (Government related systems and networks) are usually hacked by such kids and hackers wannabies (As they usually refer to themselves “Hackarz”… Hackarz… Hehehehe) so we’re not a state to laugh at them or anyone… yet it still makes me laugh
Now I started to have images in my head when a soldier uses a computer and a sign like “1 0wn j00!” appears then he shoots off the monitor
I know [Ben Heck] from his PS3 and Xbox360 mods (Xbox360 and PS3 Laptops) and other stuff… But I never thought he’d come up with something like this… He stuffed a PS3 Dual-Shock 3 controller guts into Xbox360 body… (It’s a good way to freek people out with the “How’s he playing PS3 with Xbox360 controller?” thingie :P)
I, myself, have issues when switching from Xbox360 controllers to PS3 controllers (and vise-versa)… I have 5~15 minutes to adjust…
