See how many times you can press the space bar within a given time say 5 seconds, 10 seconds or 20 seconds. See if you can beat my personal best of 45 times at 5 seconds. The more you try the faster you get. I got this after 5 attempts.

My friend called me frantically today. I thought what good stuff he has for me… turned out it was his computer that needs some serious attention. To illustrate the matter better, I requested him to do some screen shots.

Whenever he starts his computer, Spy Shredder would popup and claims there are viruses and trojans in his computer. In order to remove them, he will need to purchase the full version Spy Shredder!

A quick search on the Internet reveals that Spy Shredder is a trojan application itself that lures the victim into buying the product by displaying false positive malware detections on the his computer. How Spy Shredder infected my friend’s computer is unknown, but most likely by exploiting his browser’s security. Moreover, Spy Shredder may install other malware on the victim’s computer, thus further damaging his system. Immediate removal is advised.

UPDATE 8 April 2009
Check out the latest offering from P1, the P1 WiMAX USB Modem. It’s so small and sexy you will want to bring it with you all the time… Indeed, now you could go online anytime and anywhere. Coverage area is expanding everyday.

Click here for more details.

Have you heard of the latest 4G wireless broadband in Malaysia? I saw their banners and brochures at a few places already lately. Really aggressive marketing and promotions! This new offering is actually from iZZinet Sdn.Bhd., which uses one of the 4G technology touted as iBurst. Sounds futuristic and canggih.

Even the name “iZZi” sounds interesting. Basically it represents — Easy to use, easy to access, easy to buy, easy to plug n play, easy for mobility – incredible user-friendliness and flexibility! A quick check on their website caught my interest and I called up to inquire more.

The PCMCIA iZZione package costs RM1,138 per year. Not too expensive compared to other providers in Malaysia such as Streamyx and Maxis. But the coverage is only within Klang Valley only and it’s really pathetic as my area is not yet covered! What the heck they claim they have covered 70% of Klang Valley?

One more thing, you need to pay up-front 12 months and their is no trial period. If their connectivity and service sucks, then you are the one who suffers. However, if you are interested to speak to a lovely voice, do call this number 1300 88 8638.

Recently I saw a lot of bloggers are using the Top Commentators, or Show Top Commentators plugin, which does nothing but showing you the person who has commented the most in a period which you can set. By period you can set I mean you can configure the plugin to reset hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly and etc.

I am not sure if this is good for my blog, but this is definitely good for bloggers or website owners who comment on my blog. It drives traffic to your blog! Internet gurus say so… so if you don’t believe me, you should believe them!

Now, will you post some comments and see if your name get to the list?

Today, I am going to show you a hidden feature on my Dell PDA which was unearthed by me and myself not too long ago. My Dell Axim X51 doesn’t come with the capability to go online by itself, it can only go online by connecting to a WIFI access point. This of course isn’t a problem if you have a handy access point, but what if you are on the move?

Ha… don’t worry, you can go online by using your mobile phone as a modem. Connect the PDA to the mobile phone through bluetooth! Sounds complicated? Not at all, let me give you some guidance on the setup.

1. Turn on Bluetooth on your mobile phone. Make the visibility to “shown to all”.
2. On your Windows Mobile, go to Start > Settings > Connections.
3. Click on Bluetooth. Make sure it’s checked to turn it on.
4. Click on Devices. Click on New Partnership. Now the system will scan for any Bluetooth devices in reach. After a while, your mobile phone should be found. Select it and click on Next.
5. Select Dialup Networking.
6. Click on Finish.

Cool, now you have successfully created a partnership between your PDA and your mobile phone. Let’s continue to create a new connection.
