Vii 2: The Clone Wars

Just when I realise that Nintendo’s Wii just got a clone from MADE IN CHINA, I discovered that the clone just got a new upgrade !!

This is interesting in that I have never seen this technology. Can it be modded? What type of peripherals will it take and finally what kind of media does it run?

But the real question is, wouldn’t it be hilarious if the Vii or Vii 2 was a top seller ? 🙂

Chuck Norris lawsuit

Tough-guy actor and martial arts expert Chuck Norris sued publisher Penguin on Friday over a book he claims unfairly exploits his famous name, based on a satirical Internet list of “mythical facts” about him.

No doubt Chuck Norris will win the case. Which judge in his right mind would rule against him? How audacious can it be ?

“…says the book’s title would mislead readers into thinking the facts were true….”

Hahaha. Yeah, people might really be duped into thinking his tears can cure cancer.  One thing for sure, the publisher better be glad he is only suing. It could be worse. 🙂

Ripping original CDs that BELONG to you are still considered illegal

All of that music you’ve copied from your CDs to your PC and iPod are “unauthorized,” according to a court brief filed by the RIAA. It’s not surprising, given the testimony from one music industry executive that making copies of your own music is stealing.

I’m just blown away by how stupid the RIAA is. Thank God that their power only lies in USA. Of course, I can’t seem to know anybody who hasn’t ripped a CD to their hard drive before !

I’d say, they’d better sue Apple, Microsoft, and all the others who made the tools expressly for ripping CDs. If they spent as much money researching and educating the record labels on how to take advantage of this “new” technology and marketing it that way, they’d be much better off.

It is a shame that these morons do not understand the language in the law of copyright stating fair use. One copy is allowed to be made of any media disc. It’s a shame they try to ignore written law and make them up as they go along just because their business model is broken and they don’t know how to fix it

Tips on pumping petrol

I received a forwarded message from Mdm Aini, who will be leaving for pilgrimage this Thursday. With the influx in petrol prices, these tips will probably come in handy for most motorists out there.

#1: Only buy or fill up your car or truck in the early morning when the ground temperature is still cold.

Judge error causes 9 men to escape jail term

 judge sarah bradley

Remember this face because as a judge, she uttered the famous sentence in Australia a couple of days back.

9 males who pleaded guilty last month to gang-raping a 10-year-old girl at the Aurukun Aboriginal community on Cape York have escaped a prison term, with the sentencing judge saying, “the child victim “probably agreed” to have sex with them.”

[ link here ]

This is one of the more disgusting things I have read in a while. How can you agree to a rape?

It doesn’t really matter even if she did agree to have sex with them. The point is,  she is only 10, she doesn’t have the legal right to agree to have sex yet. So even if she did “Consent” which she can’t legally do, its still statutory rape, or at the least Carnal Knowledge, because she’s below the Age of Consent.

I do not know how the judge seems to see the assailants as the victims. What she needs a good kick in the ass, one that’ll knock her off the bench. As for the guilty party, justice may probably just get meted out by the family/supporters of the victim.

HTC Touch – 2nd generation

It’s almost been two weeks before I decided to give my review on this phone that I purchased recently.

The original HTC Touch PDA Phone comes with only 64 MB RAM and 128 MB ROM, something that made its 1st generation users complain of screen lag and consume a lot of memory resources.

The 2nd generation model comes in two additional colors, burgundy and white and in addition, HTC has doubled its memory so it now comes with 128MB RAM and 256MB ROM.
