Death of Google Reader?

Google Reader

As always, I started my day with my daily dose of Google Reader fest. Right after loading up the web app, I was greeted by a message stating that Google Reader will be unavailable after 1st July, 2013. I was shocked by the notification, and immediately I google for related news to clarify whether it is true. Turned out the internet is also freaked out with Google’s announcement.

Ever since I got my hands on RSS feed, I had tried all sorts of applications and services. I’ve experienced sync issues, lost feeds, or troublesome app based settings. Soon afterwards, I met Google Reader, I was really happy with their simplistic functionalities and features. What not, it is superbly handy and easy to use as you can access it anywhere as soon as you have Internet connection and a browser or the app on your mobile device.

on Google Reader, I had all sorts of subscribed feeds from fellow bloggers to different news sites, be it about latest happenings, technology or Japan related. Google Reader has become my news centre and I go through about 170 pieces of news/articles a day. It hurts me that Google wants to shut of the service due to the declining of the usage.

RSS is not dead yet, please retain reader for the sake of Internet. You can sign a petition or do something to let Google know we want it to live.

Online Banking

Back then I could only heard or read how convenient online banking are. Never had any chance of trying out it, until my father started using e-banking provided by Public Bank few years ago.

After I helped him to activate his e-banking account, in 1 months time, he’s able to use it to pay for various payments and bills, such as electricity bill, water bill and so on, everything by himself… By the way, my UTAR’s every payment including admission fees are paid via online banking too… I’m impressed that my father could use it effectively…

Before, I came to Kampar, I applied a personal banking account at Maybank. So that I could get the money through the account from my parents(thank you). At UTAR, it’s best if you have a Public Bank account. I think it’s because UTAR is having some sort of partnership with Public Bank. Therefore, any payments such as tuition fees can be paid easily via Public Bank. So I applied a Public Bank personal banking account too.

I’ve used my Maybank account to pay my telephone bill, Celcom XPAX reload and etc… It’s so easy to use and convenient… No need cash, no need to go to post office/TM point…

So, do any of you tried out online banking?

Congratulations Screamyx SXCKS BIGGER AND BIGGER

Good day isn’t it today… A nice day to f*ck up our ISP provider – TMNut’s Screamyx… (I don’t wan someone come to my doorstep to invite me for a cup of coffee with their lawyer, I don’t have enough money to pay for the cup of coffee, cause I’ve paid my money to TMNut Screamyx…)

Streamyx Sucks

Everyone knows that our country’s ISP provider sucks a big time… yeap, I mean EVERYONE, not just Malaysians, even other countries are aware of this matter. WOW… You’re so famous man screamyx. Congratulations, your mama should be very proud of you. T.T

Why I’m writing this?

I know I’m a bit outdated to rant about something that is commonly known, however my anger and disappointment towards our country’s only ISP provider are driving me crazy.

Streamyx Sucks

Screamyx started to limit/throttle p2p programs such as bittorrent since few years ago, for the reason of using p2p programs jams the broadband bandwidth. In their “Fair Usage Policy”, they states that us heavy bittorrent/p2p users are unfair. They say us jams the broadband because of our heavy usage.

Their evil plan is to block our connection with other country’s peers. All the download speed comes from local peers. So, if our torrent if full of local peers, we will get slow speed. No matter what kind of protocol encryption is enabled or forced, the speed won’t increase. So, if you want speedy torrent speed, find a torrent with a lot of TmNut user.

however I never had such problems, such as slow torrent speed or cannot connect to peers… until recently… those problems came to me… I guess screamyx is covering their evil plan “p2p limiting”, around Malaysia… kudos screamyx… talk about internet dominating..

Hay listen here screamyx, every month I pay RM88 for 1mbps/512kbps connection. For sure I’m gonna fully utilize the connection, and I’m only using 100% of the connection… this is what you called unfair? Oh I know why… because screamyx stated their “best effort basis” is 60%-70%, and I’m using 100% is called unfair la…. then, why don’t you just say “this is a 1mbps/512kbps connection, which you could only use 70& of them…

By the way, are screamyx you blame us p2p/bittorent users for eating up other customers bandwidth? scr*w you… I ask of you screamyx, if you want to provide 1mbps speed for 10 person, you should prepare a cable that can afford 10mbps speed…. but you provide 1mbps speed for 10person by using a 5mpbs line… of course we’re all jammed… If you cant do it… just dont do it… ish ish!!!

Streamyx Sucks

WHAT “unlimited broadband”… pui… you’re monopolying us… you’re limiting our usage… YOU DON’T HAVE THE RIGHTS TO DO SO!!!! We want our internet freedom!!!

Even a country as small as Singapore have 4 companies of ISP provider, and non of them did like what screamyx had done. Malaysia? Yeay! Screamyx only lor~~ Because Screamyx is the best, they got their mama covering their @ss… They can do whatever they wan…

oh wait… their mama not just covering their @ss, they give only a little chance to other companies so that they wont compete with screamyx… oh~~~ poor screamyx will lose if other company started their broadband service… They will scr*w screamyx @sshole… thats why screamyx need to wear 30underwears to protect their @sshole…

Complain complain complain…. I used screamyx for 4years.. and I’ve made numerous complains (around 70times)… everytime say, “thank you for your time sir, we’ll have the problem fixed soon.” well, I don’t think so…. not just screamyx… even the telephone line also got prob.. my house’s phone had changed for n times… still got problem.. last time, I cant hear the people calling, just now… the people who’s calling me cannot hear what I say… GOD D@MN IT… that is a new phone…

Talk about the price…

I don’t want to say much… an example explains everything:”In Japan, roughly RM200 per month for a 100mbps fibre optic connection. In Malaysia, RM88 per month for a 1mbps throttled/controled copper wire connection.” Which is cheaper and better?

Ah… forgot to mention that, when I was writing this post, my screamyx disconnected for n times… Thank you for listening for my “blasting”…

Conclusion,
Thank You SCREAMYX, because of your service, your policy of “ringgit FIRST, customer SECOND”, your all s*cked up connections, our Malaysians became so stupid… keep up your good work.

Those who wants to rant about Screamyx
Our Lowyat Forum has a very (VERY VERY VERY) active Screamyx forum where you can meet a lot of Screamyx users online. There is a thread for you to send your regards to tmnet’s mama and grand-mama or even their whole family.

Straight to the topic, Ju Shuen’s computer died last week and he ask Choon Yong and me to help him repair his poor computer. He gladly accepted my offer to upgrade his computer. aiya, rich people mah.. not same macam us ma… (haha)

Since my house is so small, we’re using Choon Yong’s house as my base… Using his house as a base of repairing computer is the best, because:

  1. his house is big
  2. various tools
  3. various programs
  4. he also repair computers…

I striped his computer, to know the specifications

Striped apart… Intel Pentium D 820 Processor on MSI 7200 motherboard

Processor and heatsink

Taking away the processor

after examine his computer, decided to upgrade his motherboard and graphics card. I ordered a ABIT IP35P motherboard and XFX GeForce 8600GT XXX Edition + ZALMAN Fan. the total price is $???… cannot tell.. (><blek)

After making the payment, Tada… The items arrived to my doorstep 2 days later… Thank you Pos Laju..

Videos of unboxing the items…

whoa… this to baby is monster… After upgrade his computer… the performance is increased rapidly.. expecially the graphics quality… impressive..

messing around Choon Yong’s house… LD… not the oldies black black de disc.. LD

haha, Pei Feng also at there…

It took me 1 whole day to complete the upgrade.. lolx.. coz.. lots of drivers are crashing.. and his 512 RAM is crushing with his motherboard…

Internets

Ok… Take a look at this picture..

this is a type of method to help others to make promotions of their blog/website.. helping each other to grow their website, increasing their readers.

currently… I only put 3 RSS feeds, Danny, Blaze and Christine for testing stage.. I wants to increase the feed.. who wants to have their site’s RSS feed to put at here… feel free to msn/email me..
