The quest for ultimate gaming Desktop for people on budget!

Image
Recently i wanted to start a project. I am looking for a potent computer to do my work such as running vmware with multiple OS, to play game like Diablo and StarCraft and to edit photo. At first i wanted to get an ultimate laptop just like my previous Alienware M11x. But then my wise wife ask me a question, with the same amount of money would you get a better performance computer if i buy a desktop instead..Well yeah she is basically right. To cut cost i should opt for a desktop. I begin my journey by exploring HP PC. Most of the desktop is expensive and have crappy GPU configuration. Most of the time you cant even upgrade the spec. Dell is better but still not good enough. Then i decided to build my own mean machine. I ended with these spec. 1. CPU - i5 3570 (3.4 Ghz which can easily OC to 4 Ghz is good enough for almost all application and games. Anything more than this i think is overkill) 2. RAM - 8G 1600Mhz RAM x 2 (16GB RAM is more than sufficient) 3. GPU - Asus Geforce GTX6...

Hippo Biscuit and Hippo Pearl Review

Image
Recently i feel empty..i feel the need to find a way to motivate me...and the only way to do so quickly is to listen to music. I have Iphone 4, HTC Evo 3D, Ipod Shuffle..and why the hell do i need to look for a good digital audio player..?? I dont have a direct answer, maybe it is my fetish for aluminium stuff..maybe it is my lust to collect gadgets or maybe i believe good sound reproduction can only be made possible via good hardware and not just software like BBE. So while i am having dinner with my lovely wife, i pass through Jaben. So i told my wife i will just hand out for a while to check out whats new. The person at the counter told me there is a new kids on the block..a mp3 player fully made of aluminium with superb clean sound. I was delighted!! MP3 full aluminium, good sound is good news to me...but wait...no screen??? Support Audio Format : MP3, WAV Suitable headphone impedance : 16 ohms - 300 ohms C harge time : 1.5 hours P lay time : Around 10 hours Dimensi...

BBE SonicMax Pro Review

Image
For those who do not know what the hell is BBE it is basically a digital sound processing technology which improve audio quality without compromising the music quality or SQ. This is what i get from their official website "BBE’s patented technology restores the natural warmth, clarity and definition that have been missing from your digital listening experience. Rediscover the thrill of deeper richer lows, superior clarity and definition, increased upper harmonic detail and better overall audio performance regardless of the quality of your earphones, dock, or speakers. The SonicMax Pro difference will blow you away." Currently some mainstream digital audio player like cowon or the extinct Cube C30 or Hippo Gumstick has the BBE EQ build in. Some has sing praises to it claiming that it will bring out the details such as the hi hats and cymbals sound that they never be able hear before. When BBE launc the Sonix Mac Pro on ITunes i was thinking why not give it a try on my ...

Review on Section 114A of the Evidence Act 1950

Ok Buddies..I am trying to do a research on the 114A Act which discriminate most of the internet user here..help me do a brainstorming session on why this law is shitty, how it can be abuse and recommendation to fix it... This is what is 114A >>> http://www.parlimen.gov.my/files/billindex/pdf/2012/DR162012E.pdf http://www.malaysianbar.org.my/press_statements/repeal_section_114a_of_the_evidence_act_1950.html Here is why i think this law is shitty. 1. We are automatically guilty and we have to prove our innocence but how many of us have the technical capability to prove we are not guilty? This require deep technical know how. Eg how do you prove other people have hack into your ipad? 2. All those free wifi provider will stop providing service cause if the user post something bad the wifi provider will be in deep shit and guilty. ...3. If you have a forum or web site and you enable comment, ppl comment on your page then you are guilty too..wtf!!! How it can be ab...

Coconut Flower Restaurant @ Teluk Gong, Port Klang

Image
It;s been a long time since i visited this seafood restaurant. The famed Coconut Flower Seafood Restaurant. They are famous for the fegmented coconut liquer/brew which gave name to their restaurant. Last time you can get cheap seafood here but now it has been commercialized. So forget about cheap seafood. The price is the same as PJ or KL area.  The road that lead to this restaurant is also bumpy..no tar road , you have to pass through a series of untar road to reach this restaurant. The atmospehre is good. It gives you the ala vacation like feel. With the attap roof and mini huts it makes u think you are in the resort kind of feeling. Food quality is acceptable. It is not super nice/tasty nor do it taste bad. There is nothing to shout about. What is special is there do have quite a variety of fish sold here...so your average meal can be super expensive or cheap depending on what type of fish you order. Crab price is pretty standard here which is seasonal pricing similar t...
