Funny how both CTRLALTDEL and PennyArcade had similar comic today… maybe I missed some big announcement…. hmmm…
Happy Weekend!
There are lots of those, (I specifically love onemanga.com for Japanese comics) such as Penny Arcade and Ctrl-Alt-Del. But XKCD should not be forgotten as well.
I recently found a new favourite… explaining web-addicts.
Solar-powered cellphone? Yes please…

By giving away 1Gbps Fiber internet to about 500-thousands lucky Americans, Google is only one step away from becoming Skynet. Great.
In all seriousness, they are planning to become an ISP by providing Fiber connectivity at competitive prices. Theoritically, this will lay the foundation of next generation bandwidth speed and internet development, according to Google; which will pave the way into high speed connectivity to the rest of the world.
But seriously… 1Giga bit per second? Holy %^!$, I wish I live in America…. video and link below
Update: Apparently the news got caught up by CBC as well. As shown in this article: CBC article.
Although I found a disturbing fact on that article; quoted:
Google likely has dark fibre in Canada to serve its capacity needs here, but any attempt to provide telecommunications services would run into legal problems. Restrictions require any infrastructure-owning telecom service provider to be majority Canadian owned and controlled.
Damn you Robbers, Bhell, and Failus!
This is probably how Online Parent Control software should work. Click the link and watch the video. Warning: NSFW!
Awesome artist. Definitely worth checking out if you have the slightest interest on design, graphic, or photography.

Gaming post today! (yeah, didn’t see that one coming from the title, eh?)
I just read Ars Technica’s most wanted games for 2010 list, and although I’m generally not impressed (weird games, missing games), I found a little gem called APB.
But before that, let’s start with what I’m personally waiting for: Aliens Versus Predator. This is simply one of the easiest pick for me. Although I don’t buy alot of game (actually, very very selected few), I tried a lot of them. And, given enough time, I would love to try even more. But only a selected few I can call a “good game” and worthy of my dollars. AvP is one of them. I’ve been waiting for a good, solid, game for over a year now after I dropped LOTRO, and judging from its predecessor and previews, this is one game with a solid story, exciting gameplay, and intense multiplayer.
So, onto All Post Bulletin. After trying out a few different MMO (and wasted a good few hundred/thousand hours on them) in the past, I’m now looking into another one. Afterall, if I’m to summarize the kind of games I played, it’ll be mostly MMO and multiplayer-heavy FPS. The thing with MMO, since most of them comes with a monthly fee, the quality standard is even higher for me. LOTRO, for example, has excellent storyline and great gameplay and immersive world. Coupled with good community, it’s easy to rank it my #2 MMO of all time (#1 is old Star Wars Galaxy before the NGE). Then comes Star Trek Online (lame actions), StarWars Old Republic (nice voice, crappy graphic?), and an onslaught of others (no, I won’t touch WoW). But nothing really hits the spot (I even spend over 6 months on Eve, and I had to let that one go too) that could push me over to pay a monthly bills.
Until I saw this trailer.
Here’s the link to the site and more videos/screens/info: APB.com
Guess it’s time to start saving…
So here I am, upgrading to the latest WordPress to patch up a few holes… ended up reading a few interesting links and articles.
How to Secure Joomla: Although it revolves around Joomla, many tips actually applicable to other CMS systems (like WordPress) and regular hosted websites.
Default Passwords: Title says it all. You can browse by letters, or manufacturers’ defaults, or submit your own. Incase you still don’t get it… this is the list of what NOT to use as your password.
SecureLive: Nifty program that can secure your CMS (and others) installation package as a plug-in of that package that continuosly active to scan every suspicious activity on your installation. Pricey, but they have a free WordPress plug-in.
