Majority of file sharing sites, including one of the most popular ones which are filesonic & fileserve finally ‘committed suicide‘ in fear of the megaupload case.

Basically filesonic has disabled filesharing function, which is the main function of the whole site. Majority of the users used it for filesharing, doesn’t matter for piracy or legal use. I was hoping this site would stay alive but unfortunately they were chickens. It’s the site I paid monthly to. Yes I had the premium account. Glad I found out before my paypal automatically renews the payment on the same day so I had the chance to cancel. Oh well, it was nice knowing you filesonic. Thank you for all the downloads.

Fileserve also disabled its filesharing function. I heard some others committed suicide too, like one site banned paid users or something.. technically all these sites committed mass suicide. At least, unlike megaupload, they didn’t disable personal upload so if you had uploaded the files, you could still retrieve them and still use them for personal use. I don’t know who would.

It sucks majorly because I used these sites a lot because download from file sharing sites utilizes my connection speed to the maximum . Looks like I have to find an alternative now. But I heard megaupload is coming back. However, anonymous are still taking down websites.. hope they’ll keep going until the retards would come to their senses and stop wanting to censor internet…

…. wishful thinking.

My blackberry phone is giving problems now. I want a blackberry tablet.

The world had a great loss yesterday. Apple co-founder Steve Jobs succumbed to his pancreatic cancer at his home. He resigned as Apple CEO last August was like a sign that he knew he wasn’t going to live long. He was only 56, which is still very young. I am greatly saddened by this and quite shocked because he was one of the world’s greatest entrepreneurs, inventors and creative genius. I greatly admire him, his determination, and all that he did to make Apple how it is it today. It’s very sad to see him go this early in life. He should be enjoying his life (and wealth for that matters) at this age.

I wasn’t into Apple before. It was until I started using it at college that I found out how great Apple products are – so i bought an iMac and have loved it ever since. I love Windows but Apple is for the simpler kind of life/usage. Windows is quite complicated. So thank you for the great products, Mr Jobs. Apple will never be the same anymore.

Apple website changed its front page today to remember Steve Jobs.

Thank you for leaving a bite on my apple. Rest in peace in heaven now.

It was a just a day trip but a damn tiring one. We planned to leave at 8 am but I had a very tiring Saturday so I ended up sleeping in the entire evening and woke up at 10 pm. I actually went to Tesco to shop at 11 pm and got home at almost 1 am. Haha.

We reached KL at almost 12 pm, then straight away went to bakery shops and bought lots of stuff – chocolates, cake mix, drinks etc. After having fun like a kid in a toy store, we went to Berjaya Times Square for lunch and reached there at almost 4 pm. Wow, I haven’t been there in ages because majority of things have changed especially the food court. It’s so much better now and the best thing is that it’s located on the lower ground floor instead of the lonely 10th floor. I had Japanese teriyaki chicken bento. Surprisingly they’re quite cheap. And you have to use a prepaid card to pay for the food.

It actually taste quite good too except I’ve had better chawanmushi before at Yoshinoya. I miss yoshinoya which is no longer available in Malaysia Their chawanmushi was damn good – they had mushroom and crabs but then they toned it down but the price remained which upsets me. Now they’re completely gone. Blah. This chawanmushi had only 4 small pieces of crab sticks, that’s it. Bit disappointed.

Anyways, then I went to ‘Low Yat Plaza‘ and FINALLY bought myself the laptop table I’ve always wanted. I think this is like the 4th or 5th table. It has low quality built but what the heck. I found exactly the one I wanted after a long search. I wonder how come they don’t have any tables in my city until I have to go to KL to search for it. I hope this one will last longer than the ones I had.

I also bought a new modem router because my old one finally died, I think. It’s a Belkin and they said I have a lifetime warranty but I’m not gonna claim the warranty because it’s pretty outdated. Now I have a better modem router (D-Link) and it’s cheaper than Belkin. It’s working fine now and I finally can use my streamyx again. Even though I had streamyx so much because it’s so slow, at least it doesn’t have limited bandwidth. Unlike my P1 Wimax, even though the speed is good, but I only have 30Gb bandwidth a month. I wanna play second life again.

So we finally left KL at 6.15pm and got stuck in traffic jam for a bit. That’s one thing I don’t miss about KL – the massive traffic jam. But luckily after a while I accidentally found the highway back to Ipoh so we didn’t get delayed and left for Ipoh. However my uncle thought we’d visit a relative – we got lost and spent over an hour to search for the place only to find out they were not at home. :\ I was already too tired and sleepy and I had to stop at 2 different rest stops to take a quick nap. Plus it was drizzling so it was like a perfect weather to sleep.

Well I finally reached my home at almost 12 am. Had to speed a bit otherwise I’d fall asleep in the car. I was really sleepy and tired and my right knee was hurting like hell. Thank God there was no scary experiences on the highway like the last time except a couple of minor ones in Kl where I almost drove my car to hit other car. My mistake.

I spent the entire day today sleeping wtf. I had to wake up at night to go to class but now it’s 4 am and I’m wide awake. Gah. Oh well.

I have a Samsung Corby II phone now! Yes it’s in pink

It was just a quick decision. Last month I saw this phone for Rm299 only (normal is RM399) and I’ve been wanting a new second phone because 1) I don’t want to mix personal numbers with business numbers and 2) I need a backup phone because my Blackberry’s battery drains real fast.

So I’ve been looking for a really cheap phone just for backup and business calls.. and it just so happen that this corby is cheap enough and has TOUCH SCREEN. I love touch screen. I have small fingers, so I like touch screen.

It has 3 colors available – pink, white and yellow (orange not available at the store I bought in).

The features are pretty basic but it does have integrated social networking apps – myspace, facebook and twitter.. also has gmail app but they’re all very basic and nothing fancy. What I don’t like about it is it only has gprs and EDGE connection and no HSDPA compared to Samsung Galaxy Mini which is an android phone. Cost RM499 but I wasn’t looking for expensive phone. I need the cheapest possible.

Touch screen is okay and responsive although it has no qwerty keyboard which I hate.. I’m used to qwerty keyboard that now it slows me down to message on this phone.. it does however have ‘bahasa melayu’ dictionary so at least it’s a bit easier. It also took me a while to figure out how to change ringtone. The volume isn’t that loud either compared to Galaxy mini..

It only has 2MP camera which is alright but not good enough compared to today’s standard with HD quality photos in phones.

However, if you’re looking for a light, thin, funky, enhanced basic phone.. corby II is good Now I have a separate phone number for other than personal calls so I’m happy. invitations

Which brings me to another thing. This little problem opened up an opportunity for me to get a new laptop.. haha. Now I have a reason to tell mom that this little burn patch will get in my way. Plus I’ve always wanted a smaller, lighter notebook/netbook anyway. It’s not for heavy usage, just a little bit of photoshop and web browsing, that’s all. Luckily, I have RM1k in my paypal saving, and I can probably ask mom to help me add additional RM1k-ish to get a notebook/netbook that I can actually carry around. The thing with netbooks is that it doesn’t have much power. I can just use it for light web browsing. I want a touchscreen or tablet. If macbook pro wasn’t so expensive, I wouldn’t have to stress myself. Well, I’m still gonna get a macbook but soon, just not now. So far, people have been suggesting me Acer notebooks.

Now the thing is, Acer is awesome. Despite what people say, my Acer didn’t have much problems for 3+ years, and it still runs smoothly. It’s just the design for my Aspire 5920G that has been a problem to me. The place where the heat comes out is at the wrong place and it melted the surface around it. Plus it’s EXTREMELY HEAVY. I don’t mind getting an Acer netbooks/notebooks if I won’t have the heat problem. They have the best specs with affordable price. I just need a 13 inch (or lesser) with good spec, can run photoshop, light and affordable.

PC Fair is coming up in 2 weeks ;D
