TVersity 1.0 RC1

01/01/1970, 01:00 |
TVersity 1.0 RC1 - Image 1The team behind the TVersity Media server is announcing the release of the app's version 1.0 (RC1). This isn't a final release, but rather a release candidate. A proper version 1.0 build will be out once the developers manage to iron out all the bugs with RC1.

This new release focuses on interface and usability. It also includes new features such as a configuration wizard as well as tons of bug fixes. While the devs haven't released a proper changelog yet, they noted that this build carries the following updates since its previous release:
  • A new configuration wizard to help ease up TVersity's initial configuration (firewall setup, service auto-start setup, Vista setup issues, and more)
  • Our transcoding engine can now for the first time download FLV and MP4 videos, convert them and stream them to devices all at the same time
  • We are also including in this release a web surfing toolbar from our partner Ask.com.
  • This release also features support for Blackberry devices (media streaming requires OS 4.3 or higher, downloading requires OS 4.2 or higher)
The developers welcome any feedback you may have of this release. The more info they receive, the quicker they can update to full v1.0. Enjoy the download, and be sure to read the instructions for installing this media server to your PC, Xbox 360, Wii, or PlayStation 3 on the TVersity site.

Zune Delivering Real Competition in Portable Media Player Market

09/09/2008, 07:39 |
The new features in the Zune 3.0 release are adding to user options to discover music in new ways. Microsoft Zune research has shown that radio is still being used by the majority of potential users to discover new music. Most people like to have help in discovering new music. The buy from FM feature rated very high in the research and would drive device and service adoption.

The perception that radio is dead is misguided and has been for years now. Many bloggers and major media back in 2004 said, that radio was dead with the invention of Podcasting and that has NOT at all happened. The same is true for music discovery from broadcast radio.

Broadcast radio is still very important (huge audience) and will continue to be so for a very long-time. These new options don?t stop users from using the Zune players as just a digital music player, Zune just takes it to an new level. If the portable media player market is going to grow then there needs to be more ways new potential users can get into the digital music game.

Many may not realize it, but still as of today the majority of people in the USA do not currently own a digital portable media player and these new Zune features are a way of pulling this huge existing radio listening market into the digital music/portable media player market. The other reason to be positive about the Zune features in 3.0 is that it is always good to have competition in this kind of market.

I just don?t see why many bloggers and major media have to keep slamming Zune, even as it continues to innovate in this evolving space. It is still very early days for digital media and portable consumption of that media. Zune does not have to follow Apple to succeed, as I believe that Zune is quickly moving into the leadership position around innovation in social networking digital media discovery, wireless sharing, sync and radio to digital e-commerce.

Do you have that entrepreneurial itch that you can??t shake?  When I was coming out of undergraduate school, I knew I wanted to be an entrepreneur but I had no outlet to explore this desire.  I took a job working in my field of mechanical engineer which I enjoyed, but @ the time I really wanted to explore my idea of an online classified system (this was 1989).  I convinced my dad that it was a good idea but it pretty much ended there.  Hmm? imagine if I had a chance to explore this concept?  Perhaps eBay would have been founded earlier :)

Well, today there is no excuse for not pursuing your dream.  There are plenty of options out there and thanks to the open tubes on the internet those options are easy to find.

One of the best options for young, aspiring entrepreneurs is TechStars.  This is an amazing opportunity to nurture your ideas and learn from the best.  You will be exposed to brilliant folks who have ??been there and done that?.  And to top it off, all the people involved in TechStars are good people!

The founder of TechStars, David Cohen, is one of the brightest tech minds I have ever met, and he is down-right a generous and kind human being.  Don??t get me wrong though, David will not hold back and will let you know what??s on his mind and that is another trait that I admire and aspire to replicate.  You??ll also get introduced to folks like Brad Feld ?? I have not had an opportunity to work too closely with Brad, but when you hear him speak and recognize the legacy he is creating in the Boulder Tech scene you realize this is a special individual and you should pay close attention.  The opportunity to learn from folks like this is on par with a degree from a top notch university, is condensed into one summer, and you get a little bit of cash to boot.

If you are thinking about TechStars stop now and just apply.  Do it and thank me later!  The application deadline is coming fast -  http://www.techstars.org/apply/

Petrol Prices to GO UP!!

10/20/2008, 06:01 |

A daily feed from the Telegraph took me into a dilemma whether to post this news or not, mainly due to the OPEC Oil Cartels reducing the oil output by at least 1 million barrels a day, which works to about 2% of their output. What it means to the economy is that petrol , a by-product of Crude Oil will go up, from the roller coaster price of USD147 last year to USD69.50 this week. What they want is to raise the prices to USD90 and above so they can sustain more income, but costing more dent into the world economy.

Quoted from a reliable Financial Analyst, the world will suffer a far worse fate than of the 1930 great depression.Said to be that the economy will only start to recover in 2011 and thus…these three years will be absolutely painful. I just wonder, since Najib and Pak Lah said we are not in recession, does that mean when they declare it after the UMNO elections, that we only will recover in 2013 when everyone else is already having happy hour?

In retrospective approach, Cartel action will drive up our petrol prices by at least 30 sen and this will be in a matter of days or even hours when they start to cut the pipes. Iranian and Venezuelan governments stopped their taps dry this morning to protest of the cheap prices.

I’m sticking to my guns and cut my costs!

Is a ‘global superorganism’ in our future?

Inventor says device for blind has much broader uses.
I’m catching up after a week’s vacation to places which, I’m happy to report, still don’t speak Internet. So pardon for being late to comment, but Kevin Kelly’s latest piece, “Evidence of a Global SuperOrganism” is a must read.
Kelly’s post is nuanced and complex and I hesitate to reduce his thesis to a simple (and simplistic) summary. Suffice it to say, though, he posits the ultimate emergence of a global digital superorganism. His point of departure is the uncontroversial assumption that the sum of the world’s connected computational devices creates what essentially is a “superorganism of computation with its own emergent behaviors.”

The next generation wireless chips

New mathematical algorithms for the next radio chip generation will be developed under the leadership of Prof. Dr. Caren Tischendorf. According to Prof. Tischendorf: “In the future, mobile devices will provide customers with services ranging from telephony and internet to mobile TV and remote banking, anytime, anywhere. It is impossible to realize the necessary, extremely high data transfer rates within the frequency bands used today (approximately 1-3GHz).” The project serves to enable the development of low-cost wireless chips that can operate in a frequency range of up to 100GHz.

Firefox on Your Cell Phone

With the iPhone, Apple showed how to surf the Web on the small screen. Now, it seems, a modern version of the browser wars of the 1990s could be shaping up, with the battleground being the mobile phone. And there’s a new list of contenders: Safari on the iPhone, Internet Explorer Mobile for Windows Mobile, RIM’s BlackBerry Web browser, and a version of Chrome for Google’s Android phones. Within the next few months, there will be a new entry: a scaled-down, sped-up version of Firefox, called Fennec.

A Matter of Loaf and Death

11/19/2008, 15:17 |

A Matter of Loaf and Death, the Wallace and Gromit short formerly known as Trouble At' Mill, will be shown on the Beeb in the UK at the end of December.

In this new masterpiece viewers will catch up with Wallace and Gromit who have opened a new bakery -- Top Bun -- and business is booming, not least because a deadly Cereal Killer is targeting all the bakers in town so competition is drying up. Gromit is worried that they may be the next victims but Wallace couldn't care -- he's fallen head over heels in love with Piella Bakewell, former star of the Bake-O-Lite bread commercials. So Gromit is left to run things on his own when he'd much rather be getting better acquainted with Piella's lovely pet poodle Fluffles.

Rumor is that a US showing will soon follow.

Fiio unveils the Shuffle look-a-like E5 headphone amplifier

Fiio has just released the E5, and despite it offering a design very similar to that of the iPod Shuffle it is not a media player but instead a headphone amplifier.  The E5 comes as a replacement to the previous E3, and in turn offers 30-percent more power than the E3.  The E5 has a power output of 150mW at 16? or 12MW to 300? and less than a 0.009-percent distortion at 10mW.  Additionally, the E5 has onboard volume controls (an item that was lacking on the E3) and a built-in battery that should offer around 20 hours of use.  Otherwise the E5 measures 1.73 x 1.50 x 0.48-inches and weighs in at a lightweight 0.92-ounces.  The E5 is currently available and retailing for around $20.

Writer?s Block

11/17/2008, 02:38 |

Of the things that happen to me is a mental writers block and the thing to loose is one’s own creativity to procreate designs and errgh what am I thinking and blabbing about. Blogging is a little sort of organismic passion where one writes down in the diary of life, recording it as it goes along..and in the case of CHEDET, the former Prime Minister of Malaysia Tun Dr Mahathir Muhammad …book his blog posts.

I mean how easy it is to pen almost 24 paragraphs of sentences and long one might one add to a post. Ouch. That even is something I can NEVER achieve. Think positive. Trouble with me is that people don’t like me to talk much of my life as a plankton without a theme to it, and so I have to be creative and break down things in the sense of substitute and breaking them down into different categories. IT and one, and life and others.

Itchy me finally got off my bum and restarted my initial project which I scuttled almost 10 years ago with my CHAT.NU domain and installed a multi-user blog. Community blog like what I should have done with my BBS.NU but the term BBS is no longer relevant to the new world, unless it’s the BBC. Likewise, the numerous number of themes and plugins I have to endure modifying to make sure it works is another uphill talk. Like 87 themes big. Yikes. No wonder Blogmas gave up and sold his systems.

In the downtown economy, saving up for a rainy day is something we should do. However if everyone shutdown and stay at home…don’t eat out..what will happen to the economy? Chain restaurants will close down and retrenchments will happen and in effect it will effect the community of workers who depend on the minimum wage pay and in turn the landlord, their restaurant suppliers and their workers and it’s like a domino effect. Take out one and the ecology of life is disrupted abruptly.

Airlines, in my opinion is a rip off,mean kind of people where when prices of fuel goes up they hastily raise prices and impose fuel surcharges and when it’s down to the levels prior to China’s Wake Up Call… they refuse to do so as it will kill them more. Heck, don’t they understand and learn something from the Chinese? Sell it cheap and Fast. Volume counts. No use of flying on empty when your surcharges costs more than the air ticket alone.

Take for example a trip from Kuala Lumpur to New York City, be it JFK or La Gaudia airport or New Jersey slump of an airport ( can’t remember the name..but it’s what the TV says…a cess pool). You know that it normally cost about RM2700 return but the YQ surcharge, aka fuel surcharge is more than RM4000 alone for that round trip. On the other hand, budget airlines will sure want a piece of the pie to the United States of America despite the DHS imposing so many rules along side with the TSA with their ever so stupid laws and hazards to their own health by making people take off their shoes and well, they really should try with a bunch of Singaporeans who just got off their reservist training in Taiwan, field camp what not, unshowered for days…and with their boots and socks…..and when you ask them to open their boots for X-RAY, heck even a thousand banglas and indians in Serangoon Road will be beaten down , face down with the stench of a company of soldiers.

Of course they have to drop by the ever so cruel checkpoint of either San Francisco or San Jose (that’s San HOSE-EH for you stupid Singaporeans..) or in Los Angeles where you wait patiently in line for about a few hours just to get checked out. Talk about super efficiency of the Homeland Security where Kepo-Kek of Singapore wants to be like so, ‘on the ball’ but forgetting that the ever so lazy Singaporean will always have the SAF (Serve and Fly off) mentality where shortcuts are norm and well, their brains washed to the tune of ‘Do whatever you want but don’t get caught’ or cover it up.

Thank the British for that mentality actually as they are so slacked and relaxed and cock ups are a standard norm of life in their cuppa tea, thus always signing on at the job center, and occasionally signed on enough money to go on a holiday to Miami with Virgin Atlantic cheapo flights. Yes. Virgin is getting rid of their surcharges but then…I can’t get to the UK silly. Never mind, at least their ESTA system allows me to enter for the next 10 years without any let or hindrance. I don’t need to work in the US despite the ads and calls by Cheap Hotels asking me to go check ever hotel out…on them.

It’s fun to travel out. Just hope I save enough to bring the entire load up in the US. Call this a mental Writers Block but what I wrote was spontaneous without any sponsorship from Starbucks or Genting Highlands whatsoever. Just lest I need to see if I can actually write as long or heck longer than the missus and well, The New Republic gave me a new lease of life to inspire me of talk rot journalism.

What I do need is an overhaul of my engine mind block.Anyway, if you are going to the US or somewhere, do use those online services like Cheaper Than Hotels.com or similar but like I used a few of them, these online sites does offer cheap rates, even better than corporate or even membership ones at last minute whilst the hotels want to fill their vacancy cheap. Thomas cook or whatever you call it, it’s similar to those agencies at Bus / Coach / Train stations dishing out last minute rates for Bed and Breakfast but this on offer far better..and in style. Well, I am a stingy person….what U expect?

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]

Shocking News: Communication Tools Don't Discriminate

11/19/2008, 04:14 |
In response to an article about how "Web 2.0 gives new tools to hate groups" I was tempted to write an entire post, mimicking the original, except changing every instance of "hate" to something positive. Yes, blogs and social networks can and are being used by hate groups. But they're also being used to combat ignorance and hate. They're just communication tools, and the fact that hate groups use them (as well as anti-ignorance groups) is hardly surprising. But rather than creating some moral panic about hate groups using these tools, why not encourage more people to use such tools to combat ignorance and hate? Instead, we get a bunch of supposed "experts" talking about how these uses need to be shut down. That does nothing productive. It just makes the hate group members feel even more angry and persecuted, which just fuels the hate. The solution is to educate -- and (oh, look at that!) web 2.0 provides some pretty good tools for spreading knowledge and fighting ignorance.

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!

First-Call Resolution Podcast

01/01/1970, 01:00 |
First-call resolution, as a call center principle, gets a lot of attention, and for very good reason. While 10 different call centers may not agree on their management, hiring, training and technology approaches, all 10 will probably agree that first-call resolution is far and away the most important metric to master. Why? It's a realistic way to achieve increased customer satisfaction at lower operating costs. It cuts out "waste" and gets customer issues resolved quickly. It also improves employee job satisfaction and lowers turnover, for it reduces agent frustration.

It is, however, a complex, multifaceted topic. I recently had a chance to speak with Rob McDougall, president of call center solutions provider Upstream Works (www.upstreamworks.com). Our conversation about implementing first-call resolution in the contact center is available here as a podcast

Happy listening!

Playing At Being An Adult

11/06/2008, 09:05 |

Writing out a check earlier this week, I had the strange feeling of just playing like I was an adult. Sort of like when I was a kid, when playing Monopoly or Life or some other game that gave you funny money. Look at me! I'm all growed up.

Perhaps it was the ceremony that goes into writing a check. Writing out the words for the dollars, doing the cents as figures over 100. Writing out the figure amount. The dating and, of course, the signature.

Who taught me all this? I suppose in high school some of it might have been explained. But really, I think it comes from having watched parents or others who had checkbooks before I did - seeing what they did and mimicking the same.

Hence the playing at adult. There was no adult school I went to, to teach me to buy groceries, buy a car, buy a home, to have a family. No manual to adult life. Suddenly, I was away from home at college, on my own, with the trappings of adulthood. The responsibilities of being an adult. But no real experience of being an adult, nor a guide to what that is supposed to be. Was I doing it right? Would I be discovered as not really adult, by all the other real adults around me?

Sometimes I'm confident in my adulthood. I can feel I am all grown up, know where things are going, how they should be. But then I can look back and think wow, how young I was and how little I really knew.

I've seen people who seem unquestionably adult like. They exude a sense of authority, or certainty or, I don't know - adultness. Grown up, no question - and I can feel like I still don't quite belong.

I confess. I still pretend my car is a spaceship, with invisible thrusters I can control as I fly through space. Maybe I'll never be fully adult, whatever that is.
