GSC homepage bombed?
By jykwan | June 25, 2009
Today is the 25th of June on a thursday night, just a day after the transformers revenge of the fallen premier and i just wanted to try and check the GSC (Golden Screen Cinema) schedule for a movie as i’m going out with old school friends to Mid Valley. Guess what? The GSC homepage was overloaded with i don’t know what happen. It took so damn long to load and all i get was a plain html page with a simple login and the login doesn’t work. Logging in will get you a php error.
This kinda looks like a DDOS attack. Damn irratating, they better get this fix by tomorrow else i dont think i’m gonna watch any movies cause i hate being in a ticket queue.

Food Carving…
By jykwan | June 18, 2009
My mother used to say don’t play with your food, well is food carving considered playing?
It’s either those people are too bored over the table, or have nothing else better to do and too much food lying around.

Economic Models explained with Cows
By jykwan | June 11, 2009
SOCIALISM
You have 2 cows.
You give one to your neighbour.
COMMUNISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both and gives you some milk.
FASCISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both and sells you some milk.
NAZISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both and shoots you.
BUREAUCRATISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both, shoots one, milks the other, and then throws the milk away.
TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM
You have two cows.
You sell one and buy a bull. Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows. You sell them and retire on the income.
SURREALISM
You have two giraffes.
The government requires you to take harmonica lessons.
AN AMERICAN CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows. Later, you hire a consultant to analyse why the cow has dropped dead.
ENRON VENTURE CAPITALISM
You have two cows.
You sell three of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt/equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a tax exemption for five cows. The milk rights of the six cows are transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island Company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to all seven cows back to your listed company.
The annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an option n one more. You sell one cow to buy a new president of the United States , leaving you with nine cows. No balance sheet provided with the release. The public then buys your bull.
THE ANDERSEN MODEL
You have two cows.
You shred them.
A FRENCH CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You go on strike, organise a riot, and block the roads, because you want three cows.
A JAPANESE CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk. You then create a clever cow cartoon image called ‘Cowkimon’ and market it worldwide.
A GERMAN CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You re-engineer them so they live for 100 years, eat once a month, and milk themselves.
AN ITALIAN CORPORATION
You have two cows, but you don’t know where they are.
You decide to have lunch.
A RUSSIAN CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You count them and learn you have five cows.
You count them again and learn you have 42 cows. You count them again and learn you have 2 cows. You stop counting cows and open another bottle of vodka.
A SWISS CORPORATION
You have 5000 cows. None of them belong to you.
You charge the owners for storing them.
A CHINESE CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You have 300 people milking them. You claim that you have full employment, and high bovine productivity. You arrest the newsman who reported the real situation.
AN INDIAN CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You worship them.
A BRITISH CORPORATION
You have two cows.
Both are mad.
AN IRAQI CORPORATION
Everyone thinks you have lots of cows.
You tell them that you have none.
No-one believes you, so they bomb the **** out of you and invade our country. You still have no cows, but at least now you are part of a Democracy.
A NEW ZEALAND CORPORATION
You have two cows.
Business seems pretty good. You close the office and go for a few beers to celebrate.
AN AUSTRALIAN CORPORATION
You have two cows.
The one on the left looks kinda cute.

Microsoft’s motion control camera
By jykwan | June 3, 2009
I have heard of motion sensors and a big varaiety of game controllers. Motion sensors comes a long way from detecting hand movements to face twitches and game controllers like the nintendo wifi that detects movement to play the game. But i have never seen anything like what microsoft has shown here. A full body motion detection that allows you to play the game with just moving your body (no controller needed) “YOU are the CONTROLLER”. To prove my point here are 2 clips from youtube, one an advert and another from Microsoft’s Electronic Entertainment Expo.
The advert
The Exhibition
Currently the games are played on the Xbox 360 console. Now this is the new era of playing, who needs to go out for an exercise when just playing games will get you a pretty good work out.

Transformers USB
By jykwan | May 23, 2009
Well cool, transformers has been a good hit in the movies lately with now then second sequel coming out soon. New cars, new planes, new transformers… but when i recall the cartoons in the past, they have casette tapes as transformers. Those were the days, but now its replaces with CDs, DVDs, USBs and other portable hard drives. Just randomly surfing i cam across this cool Transformer USB thumb drive.
This is a 2GB thumb drive costing $42.99 acording to the source, overpriced for its spec i would say, but its a transformer USB… so i guess that makes up for the price. I’m not really a fan of transformer during its cartoon age, but over time when CGs take over… it has become much more interesting. So i find this USB really cool.
