At a recent COMDEX, Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated that:

"If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25 cars that got1,000 miles to the gallon."

General Motors has issued a press release stating:

1. For no reason whatsoever your car would crash twice a day.

2. Every time they repainted the lines on the road, you would have to buy a new car.

3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason, and you
would just accept this, restart and drive on.

4. Occasionally, executing a manoeuvre such as a left turn, would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.

5. Only one person at a time could use the car, unless you bought "Car XP" or "Car 2000". But then you would have to buy more seats.

6. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive, but would only work on 5% of the roads.

7. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning light would be replaced by a single "general car default" warning light.

8. New seats would force everyone to have the same size butt.

9. The airbag system would say "Are you sure?" before going off.

10. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key, and grab hold of the radio antenna.

11. GM would require all car buyers to also purchase a deluxe set of Rand McNally road maps (now a GM subsidiary), even though they neither need them nor want them. Attempting to delete this option would immediately cause the car's performance to diminish by 50% or more. Moreover, GM would become a target for investigation by the justice dept.

12. Every time GM introduced a new model, car buyers would have to learn to
drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.

13. You would press the "start " button to shut off the engine.

Yesterday I was lvl 20 40% more to reach the next lvl. Then when I woke up this morning, I got a profile boost, straight away to lvl 21 woohoo! That was awesome. Rescue Ranger. It's been ages since I last saw the cartoon.

I'm so tired so let's sleep!

There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed his desire to become a great writer.

When asked to define "great" he said, "I want to write stuff that the whole world will read, stuff that people will react to on a truly emotional level, stuff that will make them scream, cry, howl in pain and anger!"

He now works for Microsoft, writing error messages.

:lol:

I've read mufujifi's blog regarding her idol dancing like Laa-Laa of Teletubbies. It seems like most people are scared or hates these legendary icons and now I know why. Just found this article and it seems logical. Teletubbies is weird in the first place so no wonder 'they' used the tv show as a brainwash programme for prisoners of wars and psycopath alike.

Eh-oh! We are one happy family~!

(Please look at our eyes...)

I arrived safely at home with my big bro despite the depressing slow traffics that lasted couple of hours. I switched on my PS3 and found summer sale extravaganza on PSN and so I took a quick visit and find some demos. One of them was Spare Parts, a robots game which I didn't know one hell of a thing about the gameplay and all. The demo was quite big, 900MB for that kind of game was somewhat too over. It took a lot of hours but I could just leave it and went to sleep. The next morning I tried playing it but it needs to update...okay...it took another hour to download 200MB patch. Okay that was a bit large. Finished installing updates, I started the demo happily and have a quick detour inside the game and came across this tutorial of jumping and double jumping and punching and kicking and...wait, there was a timewatch of 60 seconds appeared at the screen. I thought I need to rush and finished in a minute to complete the tutorial but when the time stops, so did the game and the 'please upgrade to full version' screen appeared. And I was just jumping and kicking for 1 minute. Yep only 60 seconds and the game stopped WTF??!! I downloaded a 1.2GB game to play in only 1 minute??!!! I feel like snapping someone's neck now. :evil:

It's Metal Slime!

Oh my God so cute oh yeah~!

Have you guys watched The Illusionist?

No, not this Illusionist.

This one.

Just watched it yesterday and all I can say is that this animation is great with very minimum dialogue.

It made me feel nostalgic and sad towards the end.

My laptop got bluescreen error for the countless times till today. It becomes more frequent after I installed Win7 and obviously after installed Steam and downloaded Team Fortress 2. Damn I hate you BenQ !:evil:

The movies have long been a means by which an ordinary person can leave behind the troubles of everyday life for a few hours and become caught up in an entirely different, a more glamorous and exciting life. However, I wonder what is so special about watching a movie at the cinema. What is it that keeps people going even though the price of a movie ticket keeps rising?

Ticket pricing timeline. Looks like we're enjoying a rather low price movie ticket.

There is tough competition for the entertainment dollar – sporting events, concerts, plays, cable and network television, video games, the internet and more. Yet, the film industry thrives. The reason, for the most part, is simply that magical experience that one gets from going to the cinema and the experience of watching in it. It just cannot be replaced by a home theatre system, no matter how great the system is. Many theatre operators take extra measures to ensure movie patrons have a pleasurable experience by providing friendly service, extra comfortable chairs and a superior audio-visual system. The whole ambience of the cinema is created so that moviegoers focus entirely on the movie without interruption. There is also something about sitting in that dark auditorium that is able to draw one into the story. Besides, the big screen really makes a difference, especially for watching action-packed movies with special effects.

Sitting in here? Totally awesome.

Another important factor which enhances movie-going is the group reaction in an audience. Watching a movie alone at home is a very different experience from watching with a big group of people. Comedies seem much funnier when seen with a receptive crowd. Action films seem more exciting when an audience collectively cheers on the hero. People usually go with at least one friend to the movies, so it is more of a social outing than anything.

Having a decent home theatre system at home. Can you really afford it?

Although electronic digital presentation is improving, and theatrical presentation technology may eventually change from its century-old standard of 35mm motion picture film, a night out at the movies will likely survive as one of the many entertainment alternatives because it is special.

Popcorn? Checked!
