Apple New iPod Nano

Apple's fourth-generation iPod Nano was launched recently and its contain many new features and upgrade. It is been offered in an attractive range of nine colors for both the 8GB iPod Nano (RM599) and 16GB iPod Nano (RM799) models, Apple has yet again raised the MP3 player bar.

According to Cnet Review:

Review: Apple's new Nano is its best yet

Design: The Nano 4G feels impossibly light and thin, with a seamless metal construction that prevents it from snapping like a twig. A slightly curved design gives the Nano 4G the essence of an airplane wing, repeating the rounded design themes of Apple's iPhone 3G and second-generation iPod Touch.

Apple always come up with a best seller, I believe this will be one of them. I will most probably buy one for my son after his SPM exam.

New Blogger Template

It is time to change my old template to this new one to give a refreshing look to my blog. It took me about 3 days to do the migration after some testing with some templates.

What makes me suddenly wanted to change the template? Well, I happened to come across this blog : eblog Templates that offer very nice Free Premium Templates for Blogger and Wordpress and I like this one so I decided to make the change.

This template is called WP-Polaroid for Blogger! This template is full of cool features and took eblog Template a long time to convert from the original WordPress theme (by Adii).

If you are considering to change your template, you may want to check out at this Free Premium Template Site.

Thanks to eBlog Template and Adii for such a cool template.

Do you like my New Template.?

Blue Screen of Death (BSOD)

What is Blue Screen of Death. ??? One of my home PC had this problem 2 days ago.

The blue screen of death (BSOD), is the informal name given by users to the Windows general protection fault (GPF) error. Named in honor of the error's dreaded display image of white text on a blue background, the BSOD is generated by the operating system when it has suddenly terminated with an error. The system locks up and must be rebooted. The blue screen may include some hexadecimal values from a core dump that can potentially be used to determine what caused the crash.

It is a problem beyond my novice IT skill to get it fix and i have to send to the PC Repair shop. This pm, I send it for check and repair @ Sunway Pyramid IT Centre.

After some testing, the PC Shop advised that the processor and one of the RAM Card are the cause to the BSOD. The processor and fan will costs RM80.00 and the hard disk will also need to be reformatted.

After replacing the processor and fan + reformatting, the PC is now working but I have to reinstalled some of the software.

So when you have a BSOD, your PC will required a Dr PC to solve the problem.

Redirect to Advertlets Solutions

I believe many bloggers faced the same problem that their blogsite will be redirected to the below site with the message your domain has expired on Jan 03, 2007.

It lookss to me that Adverlets never renew their domain that caused the redirection to adbaaz.com.

I have found two ways to resolve this problem.

1) Take out all Advertlets links from your blogsite temporarily.
2) If you are using Internet Explorer, Add addaaz.com to the restricted site. I cannot find out at Firefox, the option for this.

Mobile Phones

I used to be crazy about mobile phones and IT gadgets & stuffs. I would buy the latest product when it is launched. Well, that is the past and now I am buying 2nd hand stuffs instead.

I used to owned 3 phones at one time(Panasonic GD88, O2 Xphone and Sony Ericsson's K700i).
But one unfortunate day (I cant remember the exact date), my house was burgled and the burglars stole two of them(Panasonic GD88 and O2 Xphone) and my Compaq notebook. Even my very old notebook which is obsolete was also not spared.

After this incident, I decided to stick to only 1 phone which is the Sony Ericsson's K7001 which was at my bedside upstairs when the burglars broke into my house.

Since I still have the original box and accessories (Charger, Manual and batteries) for the Panasonic GD88, I have been looking for a cheap 2nd hand unit. Why waste the original accessories? The original battery cost me RM180.00 those days. Most of the times, the 2nd hand unit for sale are in bad condition until I found one today at the new IT centre at Section 14. The listed price was RM350.00 with charger and the shopkeeper reduced it to RM280.00 after some negotiation. Finally, we agreed to the price of RM265.00 without charger.

This is the 2nd hand handphone that I bought for RM265.00.

All the other items & accessories belong to my old phone. I had 4 pcs of batteries now (3 Originals and 1 fake). This phone got colour and camera too.

Apple iPhone Clone - Meizu MiniOne

Everyone would like to have an Original Apple iPhone after it was recently showcase by Apple of this new and exciting release. But as we all know of Apple products, there are pricey and not many can afford one.

Meizu has launched a clone of the iPhone which look very identical to it. This player runs WinCE 6.0, includes a 3-megapixel camera, 3.3-inch VGA+ screen, GSM support, TV-out and more. The 4GB model with built-in camera will go for US$310 while the 8GB version will go for US$400. The entry-level model (with no camera) will go for only $195 at 4GB and US$285 at 8GB. Compare that to the iPhone's US$499/$599 price and suddenly Meizu's option doesn't look so bad. Though it's still an iPhone clone.

MP4 Warranty Replacement from PC Planet

My nephew bought an AX 1Gb MP 4 Digital Video Player from PC Planet Tesco Puchong Jaya last year on 22nd October, 2006 but the the charging was faulty and the glass panel broke. So it was send back for repair on 24th October, 2006. After numerous calls and follow up over 3 months, we were told that the unit cannot be repaired and they also do not have similar model to replace. We asked for full refund of RM199.00 but they insist that no cash refund, only can offer a different model 1GB as warranty replacement. No other choice but to accept the offer.

Below is the Skyblue 1 GB MP4 Digital Video Player which they offer as replacement.

PC Planet and their supplier after sales service really sucks. Hope that this replacement will not give any problem.

My Favicon

Today, I have finally managed to add a Favicon to my blogsite though trial and error as my It knowledge is only mama standard only. I got the Favicon code but do not know where to paste as the html template is quite complex for a IT noob like me.
The instruction was as follows:

But I keep searching where is the <HEAD> located on the Html template but no success. So I asked my son to help and he scorlled up and down and said hey, it is here, so easy also dunno. Aiyah, young people are better or my eye sight is not good.

When you view my blogsite now, you will notice that I have the below logo displayed. Coool!

What is a favicon?
Favicon (pronounced fav-eye-con) is short for 'Favorites Icon.' A Favicon is a multi-resolution image included on nearly all professional developed sites. Within Internet Explorer or Firefox the Favicon is displayed on the Address line and in the Favorites menu. The Favicon allows the webmaster to further promote their site, and to create a more customized appearance within a visitor's browser. Often, the Favicon reflects the look and feel of the web site or the organization's logo.

Thanks to Mr Peter Chen as I learnt how to add the Favicon through his website, Blogger Tips and Tricks.
