*Note* The location where I eat has nothing to do with whether they're famous or not. It maybe famous and purposely go for it or I'm just getting something for my hungry stomach.
*update* Junnie told me about Kennysia's Open Challenge To Penang Bloggers, seems like this Sarawakian has (almost) same goal as me, to eat famous hawker food (and let that prove him wrong ^^).
*update* Came back on 10/3/2007. Crossed out those I've 'completed' and this will be the final update. Re-sort the list according to alphabetical order.
Home sweet home, finally I'm back (on yesterday) !
There are alot of new shop houses, shopping malls, new but crappy (and also stupid designed) roads/highways, as well as the most-can't-missable thing - the hawker foods ! I've been eating and eating and eating... oh well, who don't eh ?
Okay, the coastal highway is finally done (hurray ~!). But I never know it will cause so much impact on the vicinity of 5th road (goh tiao law). No more wooden houses, now you got highways and cars only. Road and building constructions in area such as Relau, Sungai Ara and Jalan Tengah are still going on. Cars and bikes are still like the stars in the sky, there are so many of them. You just need to learn to live with traffic jams (which sucks anyway).
One thing which I never expected was doing a crazy shopping with family, 2 hrs right after I stepped on Penang's land. Blame the one-day-only sales from Gama and Sunshine Square
ps: damn... where are the beaches and coconut trees...
ZINK company is going to release its first product, a "zero ink" portable printer. It uses dye embedded paper inside of a pocket-sized printer to do wallet sized prints (borderless 2x3). And it's not affected by gravity !!!
The special paper, or so called the ZINK paper, is a advanced composite material with dye crystals embedded inside and a protective polymer overcoat layer outside. Just like what every company will do, the ZINK paper is patented.
The printer accepts transfers by Bluetooth, images of up to (maybe beyond, 3MP), downscales them internally, and pushes out prints via a simple roller. The 2x3-inch, 300 DPI shots look fantastic.
Pricing on paper is approximately 20 cents on a on a 2x3. The printer's battery lasts 20 prints per charge, and juices by USB. The internal paper tray will hold 10. Prints take for about a minute to finish from send (video after the jump). Prints are water resistant and durable enough for wallet duty, which is appropriate for a print of this size. It's sold for US $99.
According to the Zink's website, its says it only supports bluetooth and USB connection. I would prefer if it can support infrared as well, since there are still many handphones in the market that didn't equipped with bluetooth.
Okay, up until now, I assume everybody who lives on earth should have already be aware that Windows Vista is out for private/home users. Having doubts to upgrade from your Win98 ? See the flowchart below to get the answers for your question

Oh ya, I've seen the tv adds about the pc guy and Mac guy, they're funny, and both looks nerd haha...
A "die-hard" fan has collected EVERY game ever made by Nitendo. His goal ? To sell the collection on eBay and earn $$$ ...
670 Nintendo Games
According to the seller, there are 670 games that are in good condition. On top of that, he included a NES System and 12 Accessories (ROB the Robot, Power Glove, Power Pad, etc). It's funny that the seller wrote this
If it matters to you ... all of my games come from a smoke free home
Well, we're pretty sure your house is a smoke free home, but can you be sure that the 670 games that you obtained from somewhere else *cougheBaycough* is smoke free too ??
With 4 days 21 hours left for this auction, the current bid has raised up to US $25,000.00. If I have this much of spending power, I'll definitely make sure I win this bid.... oh well, I lied.
Famous BitTorrent indexing/searching website, isoHunt, is temporarily (shut) down because of the the lawsuit by MPAA. This is what they're announcing on their website:
Update, Jan. 16, 2007
Lawyers from our primary ISP decided to pull our plug without any advance notice, as of 14:45 PST. No doubt related to our lawsuit brought by the MPAA, but we don't have more information at this time until people responsible comes to work tomorrow. We will be back in operation once we sort out this mess with our current ISP, or we get new hardware ready at our new ISP.
Sit back and enjoy the rest of the internet in the mean time, while it last. For your torrent searching needs, try Google for now by searching for "SEARCH TERMS ext:torrent".
You can also come hang around our IRC channel (SSL on port +7000). We'll update on this page and on IRC when we have more information.
If you wish to help us out financially, you can donate via Paypal from the button below. Due to prior dis-taste from certain individuals misusing legal funds for their own purposes however, this is not a legal defense fund. Your donations will be used for the operational costs of our servers and development of our websites. You have our sincere thanks.

That's a sad thing, they're just merely a search engine and isn't hosting any infringing files on its own. Below is some of the latest news from the crews:
Update, Jan. 17
FYI, since this is a common topic, no, moving servers to Sweden or Sealand isn't going to help. I have no intention of hiding our servers (not that I have anything against Sweden, I love IKEA). BitTorrent was created for distribution of any large media file, and we stand by that ideal as a search engine and aggregator. Our current ISP is in the US. Our new ISP is in Canada, where this temporary page is being served. Depending on whether we get our servers back in the US, we will be back in full operation sooner or later.
07:40 PST - SecretSquirrel
So after screwing around with our gigabit switch for a few hours, I've given up on one particular task and I'm moving on, hopefully we'll have our data back today, because if we do, we should be at least halfway back up by friday. If we don't get our data back from our previous provider, it may take a little longer to come back live again, but we are working on it, so be patient. :-)
12:45 PST - IH
We are moving house. If the tubes run smoothly, we expect to be back in full swing tomorrow.
