Finally, I Am Fiber-ed

Finally, I Am Fiber-ed – Or should I say, I am Unifi-ed. Fiber-ed sounds funny, as if eating fibre for nutrition, ease constipation, smooth outcome. Few weeks back, I couldn’t stand the slow internet speed anymore of 1MBps sharing with one housemate and I took the step of asking an upgrade from my house owner. Well, he agreed for upgrade for a little increment in house rent, whatever, fast Internet is very important and now I am Fiber-ed with a fast connection from Unifi. I wanted Maxis Home Fiber, but the owner want to take advantage of the free call by Unifi, so that’s why. Anyway, it’s a good weekend with awesome Internet speed and time to blog more! Cheer.

Yeah, people have been using it for 3 years back and I have just started, I don’t care what you say, I am happy.

Remove Shoutbox, Drop Me Comment, I Will Reply

Remove Shoutbox, Drop Me Comment, I Will Reply – Notice the LEAVE A MESSEAGE section on my blog’s sidebar? It’s full of spam and unwanted message from I-don’t-know-who-they-are. It’s so annoying. It was meant to be a short shoutout to me, but they are all spam message, some even promote s3x and p0rn there. So stupid. It sucks.

I have decided to remove it. Find me, drop me a comment on my post, I will reply you. =D Have a nice days, friends.

PPS.tv Now Available On Mac

#1: PPS.tv’s download page.

PPS.tv Now Available On Mac – After the long wait, PPS.tv, the famous Chinese movie streaming software is now available on the Apple’s Macintosh OS. The software is a P2P movie streaming software which features lots of Asian and International’s movies and drama which can be watched on-demand.

#2: Screenshot of the application.

It’d been a heat on the Windows. Previously, I watched PPS through Parallel Windows on my Mac but now I have no reason to boot Windows on my Mac to watch it. The whole experience is just the same as the one on Windows if you have used it before. If you haven’t, you should try it out if you can read Chinese.

#3: Icon on the dock.

#4: Installation is simple as ABC.

Setup is pretty easy, just drag and drop into the Application folder from the *.dmg package. You need not to set anything to display Chinese font and no add-on software, it’s so much easier than on the Windows.

Enjoy your PPS on Mac now, head over here to download now.

Facebook Timeline – The New Facebook Profile

Facebook Timeline – The New Facebook Profile – In the previous post, I wrote about How To Get Facebook Timeline. Now I would like to tell you what is this Timeline all about. Just yesterday at Facebook F8 Developer Conference, Mark Zukerberg announced several new features for the Facebook, one of which is the Facebook Timeline profile.

Timeline is the new Facebook profile that tell the story of your life in a timeline view. It’s a complete redesign of the current profile page, with your wall posts and updates posted side by side down to the screen. It’s easier to find older post than before that you can just click on the month or year of the post you want to look.

It’s something that you can record your memory or just like your historical scrapbook. You share your photos, or even do more with Apps like you can share the songs you are listening, the movie you are watching, a book that you are reading or even your running tracks.

Everything become more social. The interface is really cool with a featured cover photo at the top which you can change anytime. The cover photo is for you to show the people who you really are, like showing your favourite traveling photo, put a delicious food photo to show that you like to eat, a huge profile picture of you or anything you just like.

The interface is nice, somehow privacy get exposed as people can stalk and read about you easily. So hopefully Facebook will do something to protect the privacy of the user too. Do tell me what you think in the comment.

If you want to activate the new Timeline feature, check out this post.

How To Show American TV Series Playlist On PPS / 如何看PPS欧美剧场

How To Show American TV Series Playlist On PPS / 如何看PPS欧美剧场 – Due to some copyright infringement, the Chinese top video-on-demand streaming software, PPS.tv removed the playlist of American TV Series (欧美剧场). After some workaround and searching on the Internet, there’s actually a way to go around it and re-show the playlist.

Just download the patch here. Extract or unzip it, then just run the patch.

Press on the first option which means confirm, then the playlist will be back into your PPS.tv again.

Simple as that and they are back. =) Good luck, I don’t know whether PPS.tv will fully removed that or not, so for the mean time, let’s use the patch first.
