Recently, I received an email notifying me that Yahoo! Briefcase is shutting down.

If my memory serves me right, the last time I uploaded a file to Yahoo! Briefcase was like 3 years ago. Naturally, I login and browse through the files I’ve in the briefcase. I have my college diploma major project, some HTML/php pages and some image files there, quite interesting that you look back at the work you have done 3 years back, I still remembered vividly how I struggled through endless nights to deliver a VB program for my diploma’s major project. Okie, enough of traveling back to memory lane…

Anyway, Yahoo! back then offered 30MB of storage, I am kinda curious on how online storage has evolved and did some searching.

Skydrive by Microsoft – 25GB storage. One major turn down is that you can’t upload folders. Ah, one more turn down for me, in Firefox, you don’t have the ‘drag and drop’ to upload feature.

In Firefox or Chrome, you get this.

Where else for IE.

No, I wouldn’t browse 10 times for 10 files I want to upload and I wouldn’t switch to IE for this purpose as well. So Skydrive is not for me, but anyhow you could just zip it and upload.

I found this Firefox extension – Gspace, quite suitable for me as most of the time I’ll have my gmail opened, it utilizes your Gmail storage and upload files there. When you open up Gspace, it appears as a tab inside your Firefox, it looks much like a FTP client.

Basically you just drag and drop, and it will appear in your Gmail inbox.

There’s load more of storage online services. There’s rumors saying that Google online storage GDrive will be launched within this year, by then it will be judgement day for all the other online storage services.

For now, let’s stick to what we have offered. Click here to see a detailed comparison chart by LifeHacker.com.  Alternately…let’s just load all the files into your 2GB pen drive  and attach it to your keychain

No offense, but seriously, I don’t give a damn about “When will you die”, “How good are you in bed”, “Are You Clinically Insane” or whatever quiz you taken, but please leave my facebook newsfeed alone? please? *roars*

I noticed this wave of ’spam-quiz’ appeared right after facebook did the facelift, and my main page basically is covered by those spam quiz. It’s one hella annoying, can I mark those quiz as spam? and it goes directly into a spam box, and maybe one day when I’m interested, I could just go in and see when will you die.

You can actually chose not to publish those quiz you’ve taken, but I guess that defeats the purpose of taking the quiz huh? You gotta publish them to the whole network of friends of yours to see when will you die or how good you are onna bed.

I tried to hide those quiz-news, but it totally hide all the news from the particular friends, so…you choose: Either live with the spam-quiz or hide 50% of your friends who are so keen to take those quiz.

Or…with a little help from GreaseMonkey.

This greasemonkey script removes all messages posted by applications to your homepage. It gets rid of messages about quizes etc, basically all messages from any applications created by external developers. Just leaving messages from the original facebook apps such as status updates, wall posts, links, notes, photos, etc behind

Steps:
1. You have to be a Firefox user in order to makes this thing work. If you are not, get it here.

2. Install GreaseMonkey addon to your Firefox

3. Click here to Install the Facebook Purity GreaseMonkey script

Step 4 by me. Go have fun with your new facelift of the newly facelifted Facebook

As for the facelift, changes is good (look at the dying friendster), but …

Why did Facebook take away so many of the options that users loved? That’s easy–they want you to focus on your home page’s main “stream,” because, um… it’ll remind you of Twitter’s singular stream of info? As of last month, Twitter was getting 54 million monthly visits, which sounds impressive, except that this genius thing you invented was getting almost almost 1.2 billion visits–or, in other words, was still about 20 times as popular as the nascent challenger. – Huffingtonpost.com

Anyway, it’s always not easy to please 150m users

Much anticipated, iPhone has landed in Malaysia and it is the talk in the town since then.

Famous blogger Kennysia even has a ADV blog post dedicated to it.

In the wise words of Apple mascot CEO Steve Jobs, “It’s a phone! It’s an iPod! It’s an internet communicator device!”

All hail the king of phones.

- Quoted from Kennysia.com

I’d like to say that Steve Jobs has a big impact in the revolutionary of personal computer era today since way back to 1976 when the first Apple was built in his garage with Woz. Implying him as a mascot is not funny at all.

iPhone , king of phones? hehe

One big challenge is that Japanese users already have access to some of the most advanced mobile-phone technologies in the world. Models currently sold by Japanese cellphone makers typically contain a high-end color display, digital TV-viewing capability, satellite navigation service, music player and digital camera. Many models also include chips that let owners use their phones as debit cards or train passes. – cnet news

King of phones, yeah, maybe in Malaysia alone. =]

百貨主管頻向李小姐鞠躬致意，還下跪說：「我錯了，跟你們下跪、跟你們道歉，可以嗎？」
李小姐及其友人也回跪說：「是我對不起你，我買太多了！」

The news in details here.

Basically what happened is this FRP ( farking rich person / people ), bought $154,150 worth of 8 Gucci bags and gotten herself 54 vouchers, and so she chose another $300,000 worth of Gucci goods. Conflicts kicked in when she wanted to use the 54 vouchers at one shot, Gucci staff wouldn’t let her do that, but she insisted her rights that there’s no black and white on the voucher saying one person can’t use more than 1 voucher or multiple vouchers at the same time.

The staff even kneeled down and apologized to the FRP after some few hours of negotiations, what funny is…the FRP also kneeled down and apologized, saying that it’s her fault…because she had bought too much. haha

In the end, she bought over 1m worth of Gucci bags, shoes, etc.

Happened in Taiwan.

Rich..well, some people are so poor that they from young gotta perform to earn a living.
