Amazon.com sold 17 Wiis per second

One of the items in my wish list for 2007 was actually Nintendo Wii. Now, 2007 is coming to its end in a couple of days time… but guess what, I haven’t got myself an Wii yet. Sad. Even sadder, when I realize so many people have bought Wii, Amazon.com reports that Wii were selling at a speedy 17 systems per second on a good day!

Sexy Wii

The 2007 holiday season allowed Amazon.com to finish their best year ever. The busiest day in 2007 was December 10th. On that day, their customers ordered more than 5.4 million items, or in other words, 62.5 items per second!

Amazon.com ships to over 200 countries, and was able to deliver more than 99% of items on time.

HTC Touch, Dopod D810 and Sony Ericsson P1i

What are the hottest mobile phones in town? If you ask me, I would say they have to be Apple iPhone, Nokia N82, HTC TyTN II or its siblings such as HTC Touch and some of the latest Sony Ericsson models. However, I myself is quite impressed with the awesome touch screen featured in iPhone… blame that on my colleague showing me his big ass iPhone everyday… I fall in love with touch screen.

HTC Touch

I took opportunity of the holiday break and went to check out HTC Touch in Mid Valley. Well, in fact I should have gone to gadget malls such as Low Yat or PJ Digital Mall, but since my girls wanted to do some Christmas shopping, I had to opt for IT World in Mid Valley.

CSS indentation problem in IE and the workaround

I think anybody who is doing web scripting and web design is well aware of the CSS problems across browsers, especially in Internet Explorer (IE). This is especially true and frustrating with the CSS indentation problem. Holly ‘n John have compiled a list of Internet Explorer CSS bugs on their website if you wanted to take a look.

But if you are looking for a quick solution… then read on. I was doing a quick simple page for a friend of mine when I found myself using the <ul> tag. Check out the following screen shots.

Firefox CSS

<ul style=”margin-left:-15px; color:#3056AE”>
<li>List item 1
<li>List item 2
</ul>

The list looks perfect in Firefox, right or not? I put in “margin-left:-15px” to shift the items to the left slightly. The indentation is just nice. I love you Firefox!

Google Christmas doodles

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, to all my readers and visitors! Talking about holidays, I don’t have any holidays to clear unlike most of you… My leaves have dried up since 6 months ago. I am so envy some of you where you can take 2 weeks or more of leave to do whatever you fancy to do. I have wanted to clean my house and the store room for a long time but haven’t got the time to do it… well, maybe wait until next year.

Anyway, as usual Google introduces custom logos in celebration of holidays, special days and events. This time, the Christmas doodles seems really interesting. Google is showing us how they are decorating their logo in a series of logos which are updated daily.

Perez’s blog is hugely popular. His posts are usually delivered with an irreverent, tongue-in-cheek and sometimes even cruel slant. He often posts tabloid photographs over which he has added his own rude captions or “doodles”. This make other celebrities hate and love him at the same time! Haha!

3G iPhone

I am sure the keyword 3G iPhone is what that lures you in as this is as attractive as boobs on a pretty chick. Yeah, right now iPhone doesn’t support 3G and hell no HSDPA. Anyway, PC World reports that we can expect to see 3G iPhone as early as mid- to-second half of 2008!
