Firefox 3 in Mac is beautiful

Posted on July 26th, 2008 in Technology | No Comments »

Recently we shifted to Actionscript 3 and because of that i need to use my mac since vmplayer and virtualbox is not working properly for me. And the first thing i need is to update Firefox and quicksilver. And i had used Firefox 3 in XP, Ubuntu and now mac, and i have to say firefox 3 in mac is the most beautiful (in terms of GUI). The tabs looks great, the star is blue, the password pop thing is in black, the bookmark panel looks a lot better. Well done Mozilla.

Batman in 4d Cinema

Posted on July 25th, 2008 in Other, Travel | No Comments »

My friend from Switzerland came to Hong Kong and he wanted to watch the batman so to make his experience unique we decided to watch it on a 4D cinema tough the film was in 2D it was so different to him, different on a way that the cinema itself is 230+ seater, the screen is 2-3x bigger than other cinema and the sound is a lot better (that is if you can hear the difference). About the movie, this should be the best film after LOTR for me, i love the way the focus more on other character except batman, what i mean is joker and two face has more exposure then batman.

Where is the 4d cinema? Its located inside Hong Kong International Airport Terminal 2, a 4d cinma inside an airport? Yes, its weird but its true. The airport here is so big that it have 2 mall, one on terminal 1 and the other on terminal 2. For more information about this http://www.hongkongairport.com/eng/index.html

The popular Firefox web development extension Firebug does some pretty cool stuff out of the box: debug JavaScript, tweak the CSS, and see all the network traffic.
