I know this may not be the latest gadget in town. But I am sure most of you are like myself… have never seen a desktop computer doubles as a flat-screen TV before! I know you can always install a TV tuner card in your desktop computer and turn it into a TV immediately, but yours will not be as sophisticated as the one from Sony.

I was in for a shock when I logged on Maybank2u.com.my just now. For a moment, I thought I went to a wrong address, or Maybank2u has redesigned their homepage!

So very colorful ler! In true spirit of the new year! But, do you think it’s a tad too many balloons?

Although their website doesn’t look exceptionally good and not user friendly at all, but I do believe all of us just love the conveniences it offers. Take for example, Maybank2u allows us to pay all our utilities online at a click of the mouse button. How much time and effort you have saved every month over the years now?!

Maybank2u rawks, despite we are charged to use their services. How much? RM12 a year or something like that? That’s cheap, man!

Ah, I don’t work for Maybank2u.

Here is a piece of really good news for 2008. Let me tell you how you can download and use the latest version of Webroot Spy Sweeper for free. The software costs US$29.95.

Spy Sweeper is an anti-spyware software specializing in detecting and safely removing spyware and adware from your PC. Spy Sweeper protects you from spyware’s negative consequences, which include a slower Internet connection, pop-up ad problems, reduced computer performance, or in the worst case, the loss of private information and identity theft.

You have doubt on Spy Sweeper? PC Magazine has this to say for Spy Sweeper 5.5, “It’s more effective at removing spyware than at preventing new installations, but the bottom line is it’ll stop most spies. Multiple layers of protection prevent installation of most malware. Did a good job of cleaning up malware-infested systems.”

You all know that I am not good at reviewing stuff. But doesn’t matter, I will do one anyway today about my new baby Sony Ericsson P1i which I have owned for just over a week only… However, I won’t bore you with the technical details or the specs because you can find them all on sites such as CNet Asia.

I will show you something more interesting – the Sony Ericsson P1i on my wireless LAN. But, a hot picture first!

Next, we look at P1i’s vast connectivity options. The phone supports 3G, Bluetooth, A2DP (means the mobile phone can stream high quality audio to a wireless headset through Bluetooth connection), infrared, USB, and WLAN. I don’t have a 3G account, so not sure how it performs on a 3G connection, but let’s try hooking up the phone through my WIFI (WLAN) network. P1i detected my WLAN without any problem at all and connected to it in a breeze. By the way, my WLAN is WEP protected.

Facebook is perhaps one of the fastest growing Web2.0 online community in 2007. It’s so popular that people even clone it and come up with Hatebook which I covered a while ago.

I believe most of you have tried Facebook and is now a Facebook addict. There are so much fun and cool things you can do on Facebook, but have you thought of what would Facebook look like in 30 years ahead? Check out this screen shot.

Haha, scared you or not?
