The Future of Web at WebCamp KL 7th Edition

It’s really nostalgic (yet freaky) to remember the times of blinking text and graphics. Then there was the time, Flash introductions in splash pages were the big ‘wow’ factor. But right now, where are we heading with the web? How does website design move forward or most importantly, what’s the next step besides improved user experience?

All in the 7th edition

This’ll be one of the topic of discussion at the upcoming WebCamp KL series. Which will be in it’s 7th edition while hard to believe, it’s now in its 7th month since it started. Kudos to Wu Han who’s seriously driving this, including the speakers and attendees who’s supported this event.

  What’s Next for Web Design? (time permitin’)

But if you can’t make it to the event, you can always follow the updates with the Twitter hashtag #wckl later. We’ve a couple of live reporters normally at the event.

TMNet Slows Down Video File Downloads

Just got word over Twitter, TMNet is throttling Streamyx user connections on video file downloads. It’s now a proven fact thanks to Low Yat forum members who benchmarked download speeds between video file and compressed file downloads. See the proof and join the discussion at Low Yat.

Instead of wreaking havoc on our undersea cables, the orange creature has come to land and mess around with our video file downloads.

Don’t they know it may affect other services?

I skimmed through the forum discussion and noticed some users were sharing how this move are affecting other services like YouTube, iTunes and possibly other services streaming videos online.

Sigh. TMNet, what have you gotten yourself into this time.
