Using Google Chrome Internet Browser For 24 Hours

by

There is a new Internet browser in the market and brought to us by the boys (and girls) of Google Inc. I found out about their new Internet browser; Chrome, yesterday via their Inside Adsense email newsletter. The way I see it, their Internet browser will be in direct competition to Mozilla Firefox, Opera and Safari. And yes, if you want me to mention it – Internet Explorer.

I’ve been using Chrome almost completely the whole day yesterday except during the time I had a meeting in the afternoon. This was because Chrome is only released for Windows at the moment. *wails* But as I type this entry on Chrome, I’m slowly noticing and appreciating the additional potential it has to offer me. So, how does Google Chrome fair against the others?

Today is Not Only a Holiday

by

While I was at Jayce’s website yesterday, I watched a video which made me realize Malaysia’s independence day is but a small celebration in our tiny world. When I read Kenny Sia’s humorous Merdeka angle, I realized all our races have our habitual flaws. Today, when I was on Facebook and on the road, I … Read more

Setup a Cheap Low Cost Online ECommerce Store

by

Previously, I had written how to startup an e-commerce business in Malaysia. The only challenge was the investment sum of around RM10,000 to set it up properly. And as expected, someone came by saying they’d be able to do it much cheaper followed by my reply; I know someone who can even do it cheaper – students.

How else can you setup a cheap low cost online e-commerce store? Well, you could do-it-yoursef (DIY) if you’ve interest or background in websites. Or, there’s always your children or relatives you think they can do the job because they’re studying the subject. Besides getting an inexperienced or very cheap e-commerce solution have you ever wondered why can they offer their e-commerce solution at a much cheaper price?

One of The Perks of Being a Blogger

by

One of the perks I love about being a blogger; special invites. Recently was invited to the P1 Malaysia Wimax official launch held in the Grand Ballroom at Mandarin Oriental, Kuala Lumpur. One word to describe its presentation; spectacular.

But before I go into details (and photos) about the launch, I’d like to make a quick shoutout; Wimax is now commercially available in Malaysia. Following behind P1, YTL e-solutions should be launching in West Malaysia today followed closely by Redtone (also in West Malaysia) and Asiaspace. So let’s talk monsters, Hannah Tan, Michael Lai and Datuk Shahziman Abu Mansor.

The Time Spent Developing a Website

by

Don’t take it to heart but yeah, it pretty much summarizes certain parts of developing a website. Though most of the world still uses Internet Explorer, Malaysia website designers and developers strike very hard to make it compatible for these non-modern browser users. P.S: Developing in CSS now doesn’t take as long compared to creating … Read more

My Favourite Computer Game of All Time

While Timothy and Ming (Nuffnang co-founders) may know how to speak Jafaikan, I betcha there’s one language not them or many may know how to speak it. Simple reason; it can’t be spoken by tongue unless you’re not human. Introducing; 1337 speak.

Malaysia Wimax Implementation and Effects

by

The talk about the Malaysia WiMAX rollout is getting rampant. Tech geeks and bloggers seem to be aiming for the keywords; Malaysia and Wimax. As mentioned, all you need are a few good posts to increase your Google Adsense revenue and position yourself better in search engines. Let’s see if I’m able to position this blog with the phrase; Malaysia Wimax.

While at it, I’m thinking about the Malaysia WiMAX implementation and its possible effects towards our working culture and possibly, lifestyle. When Wimax finally rolls out in Malaysia (hopefully by this year), the first business which will get affected are cafes like Starbucks, Coffee Bean and other free wifi spots. Would they survive the rollout?

How Do You Select an Internet Broadband Provider?

by

picture of lady on sofaOver a mamak session, I was discussing with a couple of friends about the recent troubled Internet connection I’ve been experiencing. As usual, similar complaints started coming out and all directed to only 1 provider. Needless to say, we all know who since they monopolize the market. LOL!

Despite our laughter, relating our own customer service cases and the useless results which spawned from it we started debating over what’s more important for an Internet provider in Malaysia. Was it the speed of the Internet connection packages? Was it the price with the fuel hike now and soon? Or, was it efficient and knowledgeable customer service support?
