Talking

If you are fans of 24 hours,you definitely know what I mean.Yes,24 hours Season 8 has started the show in January.I just watched the first 2 episodes yesterday night and it has been so attractive to me.I will keep my eyes on the next episodes closely.

I like 24 hours.I like Jack Bauer.

The newly initiated public transport panel in Malaysia announced some plans to temporarily solve a few of issues on particular routes.Except expanding the current LRT routes,the panel works with RapidKL to open up some BET(Bus Express Transit) and BRT(Bus Rapid Transit) services by steps.

BET is a system where the buses utilise less congested highways to link heavily populated areas and the city centre. Naturally, by using the highways, travel time is reduced as the highways are less congested than the normal routes. The service will have limited stops and rely on feeder buses and park-n-ride facilities to ensure sufficient ridership. With BET, travel time is expected to be reduced by up to 50 per cent on certain BETs.There are 2 routes being added into the running map:RapidBET1 – Kota Damansara to KL Sentral & Pasar Seni via the Penchala Link & RapidBET2 – Bandar Sungai Long  to KL Sentral & Pasar Seni via the Grand Saga Highway.

For this initial introductory stage, BET will run at 15 to 20-minute intervals during the morning and evening peak hours. Frequency and service periods will be increased at a later stage depending on the demand for each route.

My two cents:

I’m happy to see that the government finally realized the importance of national public transport system.As my view,a higher efficient public transport system could save a lot of money and time for the residents and indirectly improve the quality of life as people may not be necessary to buy a private car and so no expenses on petrol as well.Everybody likes less congested roads,right?

Google is not only the specialist in search engine nowadays,instead it also always shows a lot of passion on varieties of fields.Well,the latest focus of Google is its powerful Android phone-Google Nexus One.

The phone is installed a Qualcomm 1Ghz processor inside and running Android 2.1.The mix is very perfect as you can’t feel the lag even when you run multi-tasks in the same time and Android shop now has more gadgets to fit different needs from the users.You could check the detailed specifications here.

I have to say that it has 1000% fit my needs and it’s really really so wonderful.I had put it into the list of my next phone.How about you?

I had watched Avatar weeks ago with friends.Before watching it,I had heard a lot of positive comments from everywhere.So I was quite curious that what the magic is to attract all those audiences with different characters.When I see the film,I finally know where the magic is-the realness of effects.It even could let us believe that is a new land that we could reach.

Official Avatar Movie

I also think this is the movie that you will never want to miss.

HD(High definition) is everywhere now and Skype is turning into HD group too.The latest Skype Beta allows the users to make HD-quality calls to each other.That means the video conversation will be much clearer than ever before,just like talking in front of a table.However,some requirements need to meet in order to make the HD-quality call work:

• a high-speed broadband connection (we recommend sustained 1 Mbps symmetrical bandwidth or higher)
• a new HD webcam
• a PC with a 1.8 GHz dual-core processor
• Skype 4.2 Beta for Windows

Well,I’m now testing this new version.It’s working fine with Windows 7 and performing better than the previous versions which I used,especially on utilisation of bandwidth and quality of voice and video calls.I’m willing to try a HD-quality video call too,but I don’t fit the first two requirements.Skype will launch a series of HD webcams later in this year which has video encoding and processing onboard that optimizes the HD video.So the only issue is on the connection as in Malaysia,the largest ISP-TM only provides ADSL service to residential consumers that only has maximum 512Kbps for upload.I hope I could have a faster connection soon.
