Windows 7, up and running.

I'm test-driving Windows 7 RC1 on my MacBook now.



At first I was torn between having to choose to install it Boot Camp-style or Virtual Machine-style.

I just got the Win7 iso a few days ago from my friend. And I read that if you want to install it via Boot Camp, you have to burn the iso into a DVD so that it can run as installation CD. While I also read that it is possible to run the iso from USB sticks, it requires technical expertise which I do not possess.



So in the end, I chose to install Windows 7 via Parallel Desktop (You need to upgrade to recent versions so that Parallel Desktop can identify that you are trying to install Windows 7 (Experimental).

For a complete installation walk-through, I read this.

It took me roughly 45 mins to have Windows 7 up and running, with all drivers properly installed.



If you haven't got Windows 7, download is still available till July 2009.

There is a one-year time frame before the RC1 copy of Windows 7 expires on June 1 2010. However, starting March 1 2010, your computer will shutdown every two hours. This, I presume is to remind you to get the commercial copy which should be out in stores by then.

Bold steps.

Out of the blue today, my Dad came to me and said,"I got you a Blackberry".

I couldn't believe what I heard. A Blackberry!

Not even once have I thought that I would own a Blackberry. The iPhone 3G, on the other hand, had always been on my mind.

The Blackberry my Dad got me was the Bold 9000. Luckily it was the Bold and not the Curve nor the Storm. Good choice, Dad.

Having used it for a few hours now, I think I'm growing fonder of the phone. I like that I am able to use the Blackberry Internet Service (BIS) to go browse, check emails and chat online without being limited to using 3G or Wifi.

It helps that I'm using XL in Indonesia and XL has this service called the Blackberry One that charges a flat rate of Rp.5000/day, unlimited for internet usage. Remarkably affordable.

I only hope that Malaysia's telco can offer such cheap BIS as XL's.

Thank you, Dad, for the phone! I'm finally a smartphone user.

DRAGON SUCKED BALLS!!!

I watched Dragon Ball Evolution last night and frankly it was one of the worse movies I've watched this year.

It was a disappointment, really. But Qiqi and Bulma were worth watching though. Hehs.

There's another thing that I wanna mention. In my last entry, I talked about The Unborn movie poster and praised how good a poster it was.

So last night while watching Dragon Testicles Evolution, I was freaking excited when I came across The Unborn poster. But there was something different about this particular one.

I really LMAO-ed hard on the spot because the poster I saw was this:

(I forgot to take a picture of it so I had to google 'Unborn movie poster Malaysia version' and luckily Google managed to find the poster on Doctor Popcorn's blog.)

it's both fucking hilarious and ridiculous.

CLOWNS!

A Good Movie Poster

Movie poster for The Unborn, showing off Odette Yustman’s ass

Based on the title alone, I think I'll give this horror movie a miss. Maybe I would watch it, but there would be consideration and perhaps, hesitation.

But now they put the female protagonist's (I'm guessing) butt on the poster (oh boy, she's got nice bottom alright) and instantly I'm interested.

Good marketing ploy.

Ooh love that ass.

FASSSSSST!

Recently, I borrowed a friend's M1's mobile broadband, the USB modem kind, to download some torrent movie files. I got the shock of my life when I accidentally saw that the download speed was in MEGABYTES PER SECOND INSTEAD OF KILOBYTES PER SECOND.

So excited was I that the next thing I did was to quickly make screenshots of this super rare occurrence! So this is my proof!
