Look how creative pranks can get these days.

This is the quickest way to deposit your money, no need to wait for the slow response from the money deposit machine… just drop your cash in the box and you are done. Haha…

I wonder if I put this box at any of the money deposit machines in this country, will I get some cash at the end of the day?

Still remember we talked about a finger fracture game for iPhone and iPod Touch earlier this year? That sure was an amazing game and created a lot of attention especially among the iPhone users.

Now, we have another game which takes full advantage of the system’s multitouch screen. This skateboarding game which is called Touch Grind lets your fingers do the skateboarding rather than your feet! Game play takes place in an unusual top-down view. You control the game by placing two fingertips onto the skateboard’s surface and flicking the board around to do tricks.

Introduction

I will try to make this as easy to understand to the common user as possible. However, the introduction will be a little bit technical, so please skip to the next section, The Necessary Software if you want to get to the gist of the article. For the rest, read on to the wonderful world of virtual computers.

In the past, when computers were big, bulky and expensive, not a lot of people could afford them. Only places like universities and large corporations can afford to have computers, and even then, they could only purchase a few units for use. But in such an environment, there could be hundreds of users all lining up wanting to use the computers, so “terminals” were created and placed around the building.

Terminal computers are simple and supposedly easy to use

These terminals were nothing more than just a screen with keyboard for input and it sends and receives instructions to the computer, called the mainframe back then. That is to say, the mainframe houses the components such as CPU, RAM, etc (although they were probably called vacuum tubes back then) that does all the necessary computations and to access these, you do so through the terminals. With hundreds of users all accessing the mainframe at the same time, a method called time-sharing was created so that the computer is not bogged down by trying to satisfy hundreds of requests at the same time.

This is a really good news for us who wants to own a HP computer, especially true if you are an undergraduate and postgraduate student. HP & AMD have come together to help you realize your dream by putting up 3 x scholarship packages worth RM25,000 each.

The scholarship package comes with a HP Pavilion tx2520au Entertainment Notebook PC absolutely free! And, mind you, that’s not the best part. You get a LUMP SUM PAYOUT and NO BONDING whatsoever!

Really unbelievable, if only I am still a student.

Check out more info here on HP’s website. No, I don’t work for HP nor AMD.

Lately I’ve been playing Castle Crashers on XBLA (Xbox Live Arcade). Castle Crashers is a console video game independently developed by The Behemoth, the same team behind Alien Hominid. Believe it or not, Castle Crashers was original made using Flash, then moved over to XNA, X-Box Live’s game creator service.

Feeling inspired, I decided to revisit Flash. For today’s Flash tutorial, I’m going to show you how to control a character’s walking animation with the left and right arrow keys.

1) Create New Flash Document
Probably the easiest step in this tutorial. Start Macromedia Flash, and open a new document. If you’re running Flash CS3, select new file and click on Flash File (Actionscript 2).

2) Create a blank movie clip.
Press Ctrl+F8. This will bring up the Create New Symbol Menu. Fill in a name of your new movie clip. For this tutorial, I am naming mine “Ninja”.
