Been thinking of using WordPress as CMS  (content management system ) & full fledged website for a new website I have been working on.

Last time I tested it with Pemuda MIC’s website, but I was more in political work of Youth wing so I could not concentrate on their website.

Now back on track,let the testing began!

I am so sorry Firefox. I had to break up with you for sometime ever since my NEW love Chrome came by.

For n00bs , Chrome is a wonderful,beautiful,awesome,cekap,fast, did i mention AWESOME Internet Browser by GOOGLE.

The main criteria of a good browser for any layman is, how fast it processes our query of the internet. That is how fast it can load a web onto your screen.

The secondary criteria would be the plugins,the outlook etc.

Google the not so evil company has some what merged the “fastness” of Firefox and “beauty” of Opera into a single awesome browser!

It has so many  awesome functions compared to Firefox and Opera. I really malas wanna give a lengthy review on their many functions.So,Why dont you guys try it out for youself? Goo Goo Google Chrome!

The only minus point is, it still does not have many plugins like Firefox

P.S : Chrome like most of the other Google products is still on BETA. Dont curse me if suddenly anything goes wrong!

Most of you guys know our Deputy Prime Minister, THE REAL prime minister in waiting,Datuk Sri Najib has a blog titled 1Malaysia.

While I was blog surfing his weblog, I found he ( or any one operating the weblog for him ) is also active in Flickr,Youtube and also Twitter!

Happy to see  Barisan Leader are embracing the New Media / Social Media,at last!

Hopefully, Datuk Sri Najib will be more active in all those social media network. I wonder why they have not created a Facebook for him? Will be very useful to be in touch with the young crowd. And the twitter messages are still very “kayu” type. Hopefuly will be more “live’lier.

All the best to him in this dangerous Internet world!

There are 8.6 million users of Win XP Pro in Malaysia and about three million are expected to suffer the “blackouts,” according to Microsoft Malaysia.

To continue working, the user would need to reset the machine’s desktop background. Everything will return to normal. But when 60 minutes are up, the black screen will reappear and the user must go through the whole process again.

This will keep happening until the user licenses the copy of Win XP Pro on the machine by going to a Microsoft reseller or getting a licence online at the www.microsoft.com/malaysia/genuine. Each licence costs RM580.

This initiative is part of Microsoft’s antipiracy campaign, dubbed Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA), aimed at educating users on the benefits of using genuine software, K.T. Ng, Microsoft Malaysia’s director of client business group, told The Star on Tuesday.

Win XP Professional was chosen for the antipiracy blitz because it is the most pirated version of Microsoft’s Win XP operating system. The other version is Windows XP Home, which is for home users.

This is the second time that Microsoft is needling users of pirated copies of its operating system to go legitimate. Two years ago, it sprang its WGA initiative on local users of Win XP Pro and Win XP Home.

That time, a pop-up message showed up whenever the PC with a pirated Windows OS was switched on, with the intention of shaming business and home users into getting legitimate copies. The message said “This copy of Windows is not genuine.”

It was quite successful. At that time, there were about 5.1 million pirated copies of Windows XP Pro and after the exercise, about two million of the copies were validated, said Microsoft Malaysia.

“We are encouraged by that response,” said Ng. “So this time, we have escalated the penalty to a black screen that reappears every hour until the user validates his or her copy of Win XP Pro.”

Datuk Badlisham Ghazali, chief executive officer of Multimedia Development Corporation (MDeC), lauded the WGA campaign.

MDeC is caretaker of the country’s MSC Malaysia initiative, which is working to build up the nation’s knowledge economy.

“MDeC respects the rights of companies to protect their intellectual property. It’s a reminder that software piracy doesn’t pay, especially when Malaysians are themselves putting a lot of effort into creating original software,” he said.

Not clear
Several users and industry pundits that The Star spoke to believe Microsoft is using its WGA campaign to herd business users into upgrading to its newest operating system, Windows Vista, which hasn’t garnered interest among companies because of its higher hardware requirements.

“Microsoft has stopped selling Win XP in the market, so you have to wonder why it is spending time and money to take down users of pirated copies of this OS,” said a PC user, who asked for anonymity. “Why isn’t it also targeting users who have pirated copies of Windows Vista?”

“So if I’m using a pirated copy of Vista at this time, I won’t be hassled? Got to wonder about that.”

Ng replied that the concern now is XP Pro, which is widely pirated. “Vista isn’t pirated as much. WGA is continuous and should there be a Vista piracy problem, we will address it down the road,” he said.

It purports to link to a pornographic video but downloads a fake version of Adobe Flash which installs programs capable of stealing data.

The attack is believed to be the first to target Twitter.
