Easou Technology, China's number one mobile search and advertising firm, has raised $12 million in a third round of funding led by iD Tech Ventures and AXA Private Equity, reports ChinaVenture (via Pacific Epoch).

Founder Wang Xi reported that in September the company broke even, with its key word and advertising business generating 5 million remminbi ($732,000) in revenue. The company raised $5 million in a second round of funding in August 2006, and an unidentified amount in January of the same year (release).

LG Prada II has matching Bluetooth watch and microsite

11/19/2008, 15:48 |

The LG Prada II is no secret, but we like the idea that LG are getting behind their latest handset by launching a standalone microsite for the sexy phone. If that was not enough, there is also a matching Prada Link Bluetooth watch as well.

The LG Prada II has a 3-inch 400 x 240 pixel multi-touch display, 5-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, HSDPA, WiFi, and quad-band GSM connectivity. The cool looking Prada Link Bluetooth watch can sync to your LG Prada II handset.

Once synced, the watch will be able to show you your incoming calls and text messages. As yet there are still no details on pricing or a release date. One thing is certain, LG know that they have a nice phone on their hands, perfect for those who wish to look like a celebrity.

NVIDIA ships 'significant quantities' of defective laptop GPUs

01/01/1970, 01:00 |
Nvidia - Image 1 NVIDIA revealed that they have discovered some issues with certain laptop graphic processing units (GPU) which have reportedly been shipped in "significant quantities".

According to the reports, the company has not yet established exactly what is causing the higher failure rates on these units. They suspect though that it may relate to the packaging material used with some of the chips and the thermal design in some laptops.

To solve this problem, the company has released a driver which will make system fans work much sooner to reduce the thermal stress on the chips. Derek Perez, spokesman for NVIDIA, pointed out that the driver was provided directly to the laptop makers.

In light of this unfortunate incident, NVIDIA will be taking a US 150 to US 200 million hit in their second-quarter earnings to cover the costs of repairing and replacing the defective GPUs. In addition, their stock also dropped by 24 percent to US 13.56.

BusinessWeek: HP "out-touches" Apple

11/19/2008, 21:00 |

Filed under: , , , , , ,



Talk about being slightly touched. Arik Hesseldahl's BusinessWeek article, published today, says "...as of Nov. 19, Hewlett-Packard has beaten Apple to the punch, announcing the first multi-touch-enabled notebook PC, the tx2. I can't help but wonder whether Apple just lost an important race."

Not only did Apple not lose an important race, the tx2 isn't the first multi-touch notebook. Engadget points out that the Dell Latitude XT, which offered multi-touch technology, came on the scene back in July of '08. But even that wasn't first, because the MacBook Air was introduced on January 15th of 2008 with a multi-touch trackpad.

"Well," you say, "there's a difference between a touchable trackpad and a touchable display." You're right: one's meant to be touched and one isn't. The reason the trackpad on the MacBook Pro and he MacBook has gotten larger, smoother and glassier is because Apple is (and will continue to) inviting you to do more with it than tap and click. Multi-touch gestures on a notebook ought to be delivered via the surface that's made to be touched, not the surface made to be viewed. On the iPhone those surfaces are one & the same because there's no other option.

But really, the notion that Apple "lost an important race" by not being first is the biggest error here. Apple wasn't the first to release jukebox software, a portable music player or a mobile phone. Yet, iTunes, the iPod and the iPhone are the most successful examples of each. Apple's greatest strength is patience.

The designers and developers at Apple know you want a fully touch-enabled laptop. So do the folks at HP. The difference is that Apple's staff are patient and careful enough to execute it in exactly the right way, not just the most obvious way.

New West Nile virus strain may worsen epidemic

HTC G1: Android Debuts, First Impressions

11/06/2008, 22:23 |
To begin, it must be noted the author is an iPhone addict, and duly biased. And, this review will pit the G1 vs. the iPhone in many regards. The photo shown here was taken with the iPhone (yes, the crappy iPhone camera).

Getting up and running was simple and fast: add the SIM card, power on, and configure the GMAIL account you want associated with your phone.

First catch: make sure the GMAIL account you are using is the one you REALLY want to use. After you add the account, there is currently no way to change it other than resetting the phone to factory settings. See the manual on how to do this.

After you have the GMAIL set, you are off and running. And playing. There are many features to check out, and the input methods are numerous: touch screen, track ball, full QWERTY keyboard and few tactile buttons to boot.

After some time cruising around the device, some initial thoughts came to mind:
  • If you don't like the idea of being forced to have a GMAIL account, don't get one. Or hack it!
  • Its much bulkier and heavier than I thought it would be; much more than the iPhone.
  • The applications available in the 'Marketplace' are very average, and seem out of date
  • Getting on WiFi is easy, but unlike the iPhone it doesnt pro actively ask you to join one
  • touch screen is fine, appears very responsive
  • adding additional email accounts is straight forward, no harder/easier than iPhone mail application
  • Feels much more like windows mobile than I would have thought.
  • Awkard holding it in landscape position (for your right hand) and using keyboard, not as nice as Sidekick, as the device gets in the way of itself
  • trackball might be overkill for everything but games. but I love it for games, and this is an important part
  • Camera is pretty solid, though not sure on exact method to snap shot (see photo on right)
Overall, good first effort. its apparent that the HW and SW is from different firms as its not totally tight. Its a PC, not a Mac :)

Stem-Cell Trachea Transplant Sets New Treatment Standard

11/19/2008, 17:54 |
Doctors have given a woman a new windpipe with tissue grown from her own stem cells, eliminating the need for antirejection drugs. "This technique has great promise," said Eric Genden, MD, who did a similar transplant in 2005 at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. That operation used both donor and recipient tissue. Only a handful of windpipe, or trachea, transplants have ever been done. If successful, the procedure could become a new standard of treatment, said Genden, who was not involved in the research.


Ello..can you hear me now..ello?

11/19/2008, 13:07 |

One of those days where it’s a sick day for me watching Eureka seasons one and two and my NCIS..all because it’s a sick day for me. Well, now I have over a few sites to rework, and well, Richie asked a question to me just earlier on of how to get a stable connection over at Shah Alam as many are cussing and swearing of even having a decent phone line connection, be it streamyx, or Celcom or any other cellular communications as it’s a black out area thanks to the military base nearby, and the lack of permissions or planning rights by Sime Darby for transmitter. This is a little break from me modifying my CHAT.NU Community Blog (it’s a multi site blog) and sort out those bugs in the system.I appreciate the break from my brain picking.

This is the actual transponder used by mobile companies for their Basic 2.5G systems and maybe the basic 3G (not UMTS 2100/WCDMA) which actually looks like someone connected the aircon piping over, and if you open it up…well …


It is basically a small little 2 inch thingy…which I dared not pry open the insides as I fear for the radiation that is still may be left in there. Notoriously, for your information, transponders and smoke detectors carries Curie (discovered by Marie Curie whom died of radiation sickness) which is an active radiation element. Unlike Plutonium or Uranium, it’s not that likely to kill unless it’s electrically charged up. These photos are CLASSIFIED in some places and if you ever touch those conducting cables in underground or above ground car parks like Queensbay Mall Penang or KLCC, you will get a quick headache within 20 seconds and 10 minutes to death as the amount of radiation , though may be only 50Watts is the equivalent of having your head inside a microwave oven set at 5000W! Ref point, 50W can transmit the same as over 7000 mobile phones.

In the end…you end up like this…(graphic images, not suitable for some)


Which is a a sad thing to see…death of kids and the more heart breaking… of the images of their grave yard. I was trying hard to focus on the windmill but kept on getting the blurr images all round. Spooky…maybe..just it is a grim reminder that some parents have to face, to bury their kids, way before their time.

Some take life for granted..and try to get rid of their own children, through abortion or what means, whilst some..actually love and wanted to have their own. It was thing I can’t get it out of my head. Someone’s Prince and Some mommy’s princess. In the end, in the age of technology, only memories goes by. I lost 3 brothers….and through unmarked graves. I lost mine too. And in turn, we carry on living like a living dead…waiting for us at the other side.Little Angels waiting for their parents to bring them forward. It’s a thing. I seriously can’t get a clear decent shot. All images, how mounted my tripod were….well, it’s something to remember.

In remembrance of those who left before us, Al-Fateha.God Bless their souls.

Seriously..I really need to get rid of these bugs!

Networks being updated?.

Or so you thought. Petrol in Malaysia is 15c cheaper, yet fuel surcharges are still there to help MAS recover their costs. The thing is fuel surcharge (some denoted as YT) is costing more than the AIR TICKET ITSELF. Despite lowering JET 1-A going down, we are paying so dearly for these costs. Especially those who need to study, or to travel for work or business and such.

I’m updating some of the technical backend at CHAT.NU Community Blogs, where it’s like another WORDPRESS.COM thingy, less the nagware and stuff and I’ve been toying with the plugins, games and add-ons for everyone. Likewise, I came to light the new feature on Adsense, which is a referral link report,and it shows the conversions and fraud levels which is useful to see what your visitors (customers) are seeing.

Another is the implementation of Custom Search. It’s something to toy about. And those who know of it, I will be on road show again, thsi time at Melaka MITC for the SDSI program. So ..try catch me!

Microsoft to offer free virus protection

01/01/1970, 01:00 |

Section: Computers, Software / Applications

Microsoft's old logoYou’d think that with all the viruses, malware, spyware and what not on Windows, Microsoft would offer some sort of protection.  Well, actually it does, currently the service costs $49.95 per year and is called Microsoft Live OneCare.  It’s one of the many things Microsoft has that’s easy to forget about.  That’s not a bad thing, though, as it will be leaving on June 30, 2009.

To replace OneCare, Microsoft is working on “Morro.“  Morro is the project-name for its new, free virus protection program.  According to the Reuters article, Morro is being designed to work on “smaller, less powerful computers.“  That probably means it is being made to work with netbooks. 

There’s no word on what Windows platforms will be supported by Morro, though given that it will be released “the second half of next year,“ it seems natural to include Windows 7, though it will most likely work on XP and Vista as well.  At least that’s what I would assume.

Rueters claims this is a direct shot at McAfee, which it could be.  Although, I don’t know anyone who actually pays for virus protection anymore.  Most everyone I know has Avast, or maybe AVG.  This might be more of a shot at those programs more than McAfee.  It seems a bit ridiculous to have to pay every year for a new version of virus protection for a computer, though it is needed.  This gives Microsoft more of a chance to either control more aspects of computers, or manage to screw them up somehow (which is unlikely).  It is more competition for free personal virus protection, and that can only lead to good things for the average user in the long run.

Adobe, ARM Teaming Up to Optimize Flash on Mobile Devices

11/19/2008, 02:50 |

flash_iphone.jpgAccording to the MIT Technology Review, Adobe is working with mobile processor manufacturer ARM on optimizing Flash Player 10 and AIR for ARM processors. Why does this matter? Because ARM processors are found in 90% of mobile phones (iPhone and G1 included), not to mention set top boxes, PMPs, and gaming devices (like the Nintendo DS). And how will they do it? Adobe and ARM say they have three main areas they're working on to improve the mobile flash experience.

First, they're customizing the compiler specifically for the ARMv6 and ARMv7 processors, which will help speed up and smooth out communications between the processor and the app. Second, they're going to take advantage of the graphics subprocessors found in some ARM chips. Flash on desktops isn't optimized for any sort of graphics processor, but taking advantage of this on a mobile platform will not only help with the workload, but it will improve battery life at the same time. Lastly, they're making video compression and decompression better suited for the processors, so that it requires less horsepower.

It should come as no huge surprise that Adobe says Flash 10 will be running on ARM devices by next year, considering that they already announced plans for the software on the iPhone and G1. It will not only make it easier to view sites with rich web content, but it will also be easier to view and upload flash videos, and run flash-based apps. [MIT Technology Review]
