Personally, I don’t like clubbing, but my girlfriend and her girls were planning this night for a while, and I was forced to attend to this Halloween party. It was alright, a lot of hot girls there, some great DIY costumes. And to park my car, we had to pay $22. (I’d rather pay than spend 30 minutes finding a spot on the street.)
Dude, look! It’s the old school Super Mario. I was hanging out in my friend Eddie’s house and he bust out this “gaming console” NO, not Nintendo, it’s called “Super JoyStick” some crazy remote looking console that contains a few famous old-school games ripped from the Nintendo. The console is the remote itself. The funny thing is, you can hook up the 2nd remote (Sold separately, according to Eddie) simply by plugin the 2nd remote into the “console”. Besides Super Mario, I also played Contra. It feels kinda good playing these games on his 40 sum’n inch flat panel. But the hardwood floor that I sat on was kinda cold…
Finally, we’re able to use IMAP protocol on Gmail. Many of us are not familiar with IMAP, most of the time, people prefer or used to the term “POP3″. What are the difference? Which is better?
POP3 is a very popular email protocol used today, it connects to the email server via email client and download new/unread messages into your hard drive. You have the option to tell your email client (Outlook, Thunder Bird) to keep a copy on the server. But on most email services (Gmail, Yahoo Mail Plus) will still keep the email in unread condition for the web mail interface, which means when login to the web mail, you have some extra work to do (Check All, Mark as read.) if you already 
read these messages in your email client that is. And, this made it kinda hard to tell which message you’ve read and which you didn’t. Heck, I have couple hundred messages every time I login to Gmail web. Thanks to Google for filtering all (almost all) of the junk mails.
IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) does it differently, when reading messages by email clients (Outlook. Thunderbird, iPhone ETC,.) via IMAP, it constantly connects to the email server, and tells the server “Hey, I read this message already. Now, mark it as read!” Bamm… The messages gets marked and no matter which computer or device you check your email with, again, will show that the messages has been read. Even when you login to the web mail interface.

You dig? Clearly, IMAP is much cooler! Okay fine, it’s up to you to judge.
This kick-ass real superhero is for sale on ebay. It’s a Optimus Prime Peterbilt 1:1 Scale Replica! How cool is this? I remember watching Transformers at 6:00 PM sharp on CCTV (China Central TV) right after home work. I would have to finish all my elementary school home works before my mom would let me turn on the TV. It was everyone of my classmate’s favorite. But I never thought there would be something realistic like this! This beautiful truck is going for $55,000 right now, but I think it can easily go wayyyy more than that. Do you have some extra cash laying around? Would be so cool driving it around on highway 880!
Apple might face another lawsuit again, from a report of this firm Greenpeace (I’ve never heard of) shows that the iPhone contains hazardous chemicals that are harmful to the earth.
Zeina Alhajj, Greenpeace International toxic campaigner said:
“It seems that Apple is far from leading the way for a green electronics industry as competitors, like Nokia, already sell mobile phones free of PVC.”
Way to go, Apple! Just one after another!
Looks like they finally did it!… 3 weeks after the iBrick disaster. Oh! Hold on, it only works on iPhones in virgin state, meaning if the iPhone was bricked while upgrading to firmware 1.1.1, due to a previous unlock. If this happened to you. Then the Dev Team’s AnySim 1.1 FREE solution won’t work (yet), Hmm… Bummer!
If the phone is brand new, never been unlocked and upgraded to 1.1.1. Or it was purchased with iPhone firmware 1.1.1. Then the AnySim 1.1 will unlock your iPhone! They’ve also announced that “You might run into the same problem when the next firmware version comes”.
I wonder who makes more money. Is it the Dev Team’s FREE AnySim that accepts Donations, or the iPhoneSimFree sold in individual license.
This application is called WeSMS, developed by weiphone.com. I know this application means nothing to a lot of us in the U.S, cuz not that many of us have phones with Chinese. But for those who uses iPhone and has a few friends with Chinese phones. This can be fun and useful. I think the messages will only go through if the person you sent msgs to is in the same network as you. Example: at&t to at&t, T-Mobile to T-Mobile. No cross-network Chinese SMS. (Correct me if I’m wrong!) At this time, I think it’s only available in simplified Chinese, and Pingyin input only.
You can download WeSMS (Chinese SMS input for iPhone) on my site. The installation goes as follows.
