Limit your internet connection in Windows XP

Filed under: Microsoft,Technology — Tags: , — admin @ 11:54 pm

I barely talk about windows stuffs but this time i have to share to you a wonderful application for developing web sites or flash or silverlight site. The application is call netlimiter, its not a free software so you have to buy the real thing or try it out for a few days. The cool thing about it is that it can limit individual application, this is handy especially in flash where you have to see the loading/progress bar if your loading an external file. Its good to prank your friends within the trial too, hahaha. But anyway go ahead and try it, its really a good software for web developers.

If anyone knows any freeware that do work, please comment below thanks.

Google Android will be big because of China

Filed under: Google,Technology,android — Tags: , — admin @ 11:30 am

Why China? Have you guys seen any phones from china that looks exactly like the real phone except the ugly interface? I personally believe that would change because of android. Why? Here are some of my reason.

* Operating System – These small mobile company made their own mobile os simply because they could not use Symbian or Windows Mobile os or Apple due to the license stuff, dont know about Symbian now that they are open source. So it would be wise for these company to stop making their own and just use something that is already build then just remodify some part of it.

* Cost – Making your own mobile os with all the programmers that you will hire to do all the stuff that will make your mobile work is way too expensive for these company compare to using something that is already build. Not just they have to pay for their people to do the software, they also have to pay over the maintenance of it, translation of the manual and some technical support to their client???

* Revenue – Over the 3rd world countries, mobiles from China are hot, why? Not just because their cheap but because of the features but some people especially the one who can afford to buy 2nd class phones would not buy them, why? Not because they think its cheap but because they hate their first experience they had with these phones because of the interface. So using android would make them more richer.

* Innovation – This is purely my imagination, but i forecast that the Chinese people will not just make android on smart phone but on different gadget as well, like PMP, PDA, and Laptop computer (they might port it, these people are freakin awesome and insane)

I believe that smart phone will be huge and China will pay a major role on it. But what’s with Google on this? The more android phones they got, the more people will have use their services, the better standing they will get not just in China but over the globe. So its better for everyone after all.

Yahoo and their cool sites

Filed under: Technology — Tags: — admin @ 6:29 am

Just when people think that yahoo is the thing of the past, then came their cool sites, some are build within and some are brought by acquisition. Here are some of their cool sites.

Delicious – A Social Bookmarking site, no need for further introduction. An interesting note here is that this site is a search site in disguise, i usually search cool stuff here since the search feature here is a lot better than digg.And btw I got to admin i love the new interface more then the old one, and unlike other programmer i don’t care what language they use as long as the service is good.

Flickr – Online photo management and sharing application, certainly one of the best photo sharing sites out there. I’m just glad they killed yahoo photos for this site.

Yahoo Answers – Ask a question and people will answer you. This site is incredible for finding answer to some of your question, and like delicious this is a search site in disguise.


Yahoo Buzz
– Digg like site. This site is fast becoming the number 1 digg like site (I like reddit the most).

Yahoo Live – Live video streaming, something like ustream or justin.tv. I think this site will have a strong presence on the video space but not as big as youtube, the interface is a lot better than other video streaming site.

Yahoo Shine – This is sometimes have some good article about something that you may not know. What i dont like about it is that they have 2 search box at the top.

Yahoo Upcoming – Event management site, this site is cool coz you can invite everyone on an event, so if your throwing a party and you want to invite everyone then this is a good site to consider.

VerticalResponse, Inc. for small business


Yahoo Pipes
– A powerful composition tool to aggregate, manipulate, and mashup content from around the web. This site help ease of mashing out sites.

Omg – Daily celebrity gossip, good interface.

Fire Eagle – Twitter like site. I don’t know the use of the site, i just think its cool because of its interface. haha

Here are some that use to be cool for me.
Yahoo Groups – Nothing changed since 1998? haha. Full of nonsense groups.

Geocities – Everything is the same??? as when i first use it back in 2000, well except the colors from blue to purple?

Other yahoo sites can be found at

When pandora dies pirates will arise

Filed under: Technology — Tags: — admin @ 3:26 am

Pandora, my previously favorite site until the music industry blocks it from the rest of the world might consider to shut down or discontinue their service. While the music industry thinks that they are making the right decision by taxing internet radio, they didn’t realize that these internet radio are actually doing them a big favor of slowing down the pirate scene. Now if pandora, which is considered as one of the biggest internet music site, will shut down, imagine where those people will find their music? Some will find other services that are like pandora, but most of them will return to being a pirate.

LinkShare  Referral  Prg

The music industry don’t know that they face more opponent now then before, previously they only have to face p2p and music downloading sites. Now they need to oppose p2p, torrents, file sharing sites like rapidshare and megaupload, video ripping site like vixy.net, sharing files via instance messaging, sending music files via mail (gmail,yahoomail), passing files through bluetooth, sharing memory sticks full of mp3s (used to be cds), forums, mp3 searches like baidu.com, etc. Now how the heck could they battle all of that?

People will pirate when they don’t have alternatives (this is my reason why i switch to linux) and not when they just want to. Pandora is a good alternative that they will kill and when that happens its the music industry will suffer not the listeners.
