I haven’t been an Apple’s fan for very long, close to 3 years? But the impact is much more than any other tech. Steve Jobs, founder of Apple, is one of the most successful leader in tech world. He is not just charismatic, but also a visionary. But we just lost such a great person.
Here’s a quote from Steve Jobs at 2005:
No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
Check out the actual video of him giving the speech:
Truly amazing speech right? I can’t held but to cry after watching. He is just so special. But I’m not the only person who was concern over his death.

This is one of the most amazing solar powered hack I have ever seen. It only requires one 2 litres Pet Bottle, 10ml of Bleach, and a full bottle of clean, filtered water.
It will only be applicable if your house/garage is a single level, but this is the common style for people in 3rd world countries. This is changing life of people in many countries. Check out the video below:
Crazy sale of HP TouchPads will be at Comex for the first 2 days. You will be able to get 16gb HP TouchPad for $118(without GST) and $188 for 32gb model. This kind of price for a tablet you will not be able to get anywhere else. HP will only be selling 100 sets per day per model. So if you wish to get 1, better be there early.
For me.. I was considering and thinking, I don’t really have a workflow for this HP TouchPad. It is a no brainer buy, just $118 for a 16gb TouchPad. But I don’t have any use for it… Put up as a digital photo album? Web surfing device? I really think of a good reason or use case for it. So, after considering, this $118 I will keep and purchase Canon 50mm 1.8 Lens instead. I think it will definitely be of more use for me than a extra tablet siting at home. Although I can’t deny the fact that I really wish to try out WebOS.
I’m always a fan of creative video produced. I really hope one day I can participate or be part of such creative and cool video production. But now, let’s all enjoy the cool video created by Freddie and his freddiew team, and Sam and niko at CorridorDigital

Super cool video, high budget, but very nicely done.
I have no idea how credible are the words of the Islamic Minister Louis Farrakhan, but he do make some sense. And I believe there are something out there which we don’t know yet. So who knows what he will disclose to the world. Hopefully it will be some with evidence, which might force countries like USA and Russia to tell us what is happening.

Another update of UFO. During my secondary school days, I was addicted to reading Animorphs books from Applegate, still my favorite books series till now. Why? Because it is a series based on Aliens and Technology which I feel is highly possible. Although author of the series Applegate mentioned all are ficition, but it seems amaze me.
Anyway, check out the consolidated video from YouTube on all the UFO sighting for the past few years, it excites me, honestly because I always feel that aliens are real:
I’m always interested in film making, ok, people who knows me will say I’m always interested in everything. But film making is really one of them. I’m never good in it, never really spent much time on it too. Nevertheless below are one of the few short films that I think are nicely done and very creative.
These few film were shot by Exkild from Norway, he’s pretty good in directing and acting. Yes he directs and acts in all his films.
Check them out, and I hope one day I will also produce films like this :
Part two of Black Ops
He’s kind of the lead actor in the film below, not sure if he did any directing:
Quite a cool idea, that you can dock your phone and be using it like a desktop… Although it should have quite a few issues as it is the first generation of it. But the idea itself is cool, as you can actually use 1 device throughout, files and contacts don’t really need to be sync from phone, to your laptop to your desktop to your phone again. Haha!
Here is hands on video on Atrix, it is already working, will be release by the first quarter of 2011:
It is quite cool right, but I think the media center dock is quite “stupid”. If I have AirPlay like iPhone, I don’t really need to dock my phone to play my videos on phone. What is worse is you will have to run to your phone if you get a phone call or text message? If I’m doing AirPlay I can just answer it… anywhere in the house.
Nevertheless Atrix seems like a quick glance to the future of what we will be having. Dummy Terminals like the laptop dock, and we just need to bring around our smartphones. Motorola, please add a video cam on your laptop dock, else how do you do video calls?
