Nexus One

Cool phone yeah? I seemed to be really mesmerized by this uber cool phone! Plus, its from Google, HTC, and the OS in it is powered by the latest version of Android!

The whole phone from the exterior design, its thin, sleek with cool curve edge that makes the whole phone really wow-ed itself. The Nexus One has a trackball just below those buttons that should feel very familiar to Hero users.

Wow! so its time for me to purchase one right? haha!

GoogleNexusOne Webpage!

Although it has many complains by users, which has been highlighted by people:

Google has come under fire since the launch of the Nexus One after hundreds of messages were posted with complaints or questions about the phone. Many customers said that after calling T-Mobile they were referred to HTC, the phone’s maker, or the reverse. Google does not have a customer-service phone line, and customers sending e-mails were being told to wait one or two days for a reply.

In response to queries from people having problems ordering, Google also posted a message saying that it has had a problem with orders from some countries. More than 450 messages in one topic describe how some customers have ordered the phone but even after days have not received a confirmation of their order. “Our system choked on a certain number of Singapore and Hong Kong addresses and they’ve been held until we could fix the issue. We’ve worked these kinks out and things should be smoother from now on,” wrote Google employee “Ry Guy” in response to those queries.

Google also acknowledged an issue that some people say they have with their phone maintaining a 3G connection. While T-Mobile has already said it is looking into the issue, Google late on Thursday posted to the forum that it is investigating the issue. “Also, just definitely be aware that if this issue can be solved by a software fix it will be addressed on an over-the-air systems update. If we find this is the result of a hardware issue, it’ll be covered by the Nexus One Warranty,” Google employee Ravi wrote.

total bad news. you guys should read this report! this means that Office 2010 might be delayed.

Office workers of America, enjoy your Christmas break. Because come the new year, things could get a little hairy around the office. Microsoft Word is now scheduled to be prohibited from sale beginning January 11, 2010. That’s less than three weeks away. The good news: Microsoft has promised a fix, one which will be rolled out before the deadline arrives.

If you don’t understand, you might have simply missed this story, or dismissed it as something that Microsoft would ultimately use its considerable clout to have pushed under a legal rug.

But it’s no joke. In August of this year, a court sided with a small Canadian company called i4i that holds a 1998 patent on the way the XML language is implemented, finding that Microsoft was in violation of that patent. The result: Microsoft was told to license the code in question from i4i or reprogram it, or else Microsoft Word would have to be removed from sale in the market. The original ruling gave Microsoft until October to get its legal affairs in order, but appeals pushed that out a bit.

Now a federal court has upheld that original ruling — plus a fat, $290 million judgment against the company — imposing the new January 11 D-Day on the matter. Microsoft Word and Microsoft Office will both be barred from sale as of that date — though naturally you’ll still be able to use copies of Word and Office that you already own, and Microsoft will be allowed to keep supporting those copies.

Unless Microsoft ships the promised technical workaround very quickly, things are going to get extremely dicey in the computer world, and fast. Not only will retail outlets selling shrinkwrapped copies of the software be affected, computer manufacturers (who complained loudly about this injunction when it was announced) who bundle Word and Office on the computers they sell will also be seriously impacted by the ruling.

There’s always a chance things will change again as the January 11 deadline approaches, but if your company requires Word or Office to keep operations running, it might not be a bad idea to stock up on a few extra copies now.

Old Dogs

Details of Movie – Sypnosis

Two best friends — one unlucky-in-love divorcee (ROBIN WILLIAMS) and the other a fun-loving bachelor (JOHN TRAVOLTA) — have their lives turned upside down when they’re unexpectedly charged with the care of six-year-old twins while on the verge of the biggest business deal of their lives.  The not-so-kid-savvy bachelors stumble in their efforts to take care of the twins (newcomers ELLA BLEU TRAVOLTA and CONNER RAYBURN), leading to one debacle after another, and perhaps to a new-found understanding of what’s really important in life.

Haha! Hilarious, look at the video clip above, and you know OMG! lol.

kena whack at the dick, while that guy plays golf (wrongly). haha.

remember, Old Dogs opens in cinema 31 Dec 2009, which might be a great show to catch during the new year!

infact, i was in love with this theme once i saw it. it was like wow! BOOMZ!
