Perseid Meteor Shower – Google Doodle

perseids09

The Perseids (pronounced /?p?rsi?.?dz/ us dict: pûr?·s?·?dz) are a prolific meteor showerassociated with the comet Swift-Tuttle. The Perseids are so called because the point they appear to come from, called the radiant, lies in the constellation Perseus. Meteor showers occur when Earth moves through a meteor stream. The stream in this case is called the Perseid cloud and it stretches along the orbit of the Comet Swift-Tuttle. The cloud consists of particles ejected by the comet as it passed by the Sun. Most of the dust in the cloud today is approximately a thousand years old. However, there is also a relatively young filament of dust in the stream that was pulled off the comet in 1862. The rate of meteors originating from this filament is much higher than for the older part of the stream. read more at source.

wordpress-logo-300x282Finaly I got it right this time. I bet that most of you faced the same problem as I am after upgrading to WordPress 2.8. WordPress 2.8’s “Visual Editor” is missing.  Earlier I thought maybe it caused by the incompatible internet browser. But I was wrong. Then I “google” (it is really a verb?) it and found that I am not the only one who facing it.

Free Ericsson Laptop

got this email from a friend of mine;

No such things as freebies these days my friends.
It seems too good to be true.
Check out these links:
SonyEricsson: Hoax Competition Email
http://urbanlegends.about.com/od/internet/a/ericsson_hoax.htm

the Ericsson T18 and Ericsson R320 are cell phones, not a computer.
Moreover, it’s a discontinued model.
Again, the Ericsson R320 is a cell phone, not a computer. And discontinued, to boot!
What gives? The email above is slightly revised version of a nine-year-old hoax promising free phones to frequent forwarders. Though the phrase “computer laptops” has been substituted in the newer variant to reel in more suckers, evidently the anonymous prankster who revised the original couldn’t be bothered to change the model numbers of the supposed promotional items.
The email address to which copies of the forwarded message are supposed to be sent,anna.swelung@ericsson.com, is a corruption of the address specified in the 2000 version of the hoax (anna.swelund@ericsson.com), which, of course, was never valid in the first place.
Excerpt from : http://urbanlegends.about.com/od/internet/a/ericsson_hoax.htm

ps.: Nice graphic work anyway.

That is about RM36 a year (RM3 x 12 months). It is not much but at least you can definitely save.
Celcom is charging you RM3 per billing for Itemised Billing. If you are a Celcom Broadband subscriber (Data only) you will not need the itemised billing.

Therefore, the trick is to change your Billing Type from Itemised Billing to Summary Billing.

Brouhaha

Brouhaha ?! (not “barua”)
have you ever heard the word before?
it is really an english word.

A brouhaha is a noisy clamorous response to a stimulus, produced by a crowd. It can also refer to the reaction expressed over a period of time to an event. It can carry negative connotations, the uproar being an utterance of discontent, however it has taken on a milder nuance and a ‘brouhaha‘ may be used to describe a clamour arising for no good reason or out of excitement.
It originates from the French word of the same spelling.
