Everywhere I turn, every website I visit, almost everyone’s talking about the movie. I guess I’m the only soul in Malaysia who haven’t watched the movie.
Instead of being sad about it, I searched for the sound that Transformers make when they transform. Here’s the link for the sound if you’re interested. At least I’m cool that way.
If it’s not the Transformers movie, it’s the iPhone. Life’s good.
After creating your Xbox Live account, I bet you will be hunting for stuff to fill up your Xbox 360 hard drive. However, most of the items available on Live requires Microsoft Points. What is there to download then? First of all, you can start by downloading the vast variety of arcade games trial, game demos and game trailers.
That’s all fine and dandy, but what if you want to spruce up your dashboard or your gamer picture on your Xbox? Most of them will cost you some points, but there are some free ones available.

For Alykhan, that means he’ll come away with the knowledge he needs to use Quartz and Cocoa to make his products completely resolution independent.
You might ask, how does this affect me as the end user? High density computer monitors will be able to display sharper images and texts. Imagine reading an online newspaper that have text that looks as good as the one you see in a magazine! Will computer screen rival paper printing in the near future? For now, we will just have to wait and see.
