Review of Nation by Terry Patchett

Review of Nation by Terry Pattchett Short review - It must be one of the best book I had read so far! Emotional, smart, funny, romanic and so very brilliant! Must read! 5/5 Longer review The Nation started off with Mau the 15 years old boy who had gone to the boy island to leave his boy soul behind and return to his Nation to receive his Man soul. Most culture have some sort of coming of age ritual in which the boy became a boy, and in Singapore we call this ritual “National Service” in which boys who was over 18 years old must serve under the army for 2 years and so I can understand what it is like to be like Mau, who had to prove himself by performing this ritual. And like most boys, we are afraid of this ritual as we are unsure of what to do and when to do it. Unlike most boys who are able to return home after their ritual, Mua’s island was strike by a huge tsunami wave that had engulfed his own island. The stage is set for Mua to survive and somehow find meaning to continue ...

Rad hat grub.conf

Hi all, Its time for another random update! Yes! Actually I was told to install red hat and setup the boot loader in my lab. So I decided to write a simple script that will do configure the boot loader. Here is my script if you are interested #!/bin/bash rm /boot/grub/grub.conf cp /media/TOSHIBA/grub.conf /boot/grub/grub.conf rm /root/Desktop/file2.sh reboot And here is my grub.conf file # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg. # root (hd0,1) # kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda2 # initrd /boot/initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/sda default=1 timeout=10 splashimage=(hd0,1)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz showmenu title Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (2.6.18-128.el5PAE) root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-128.el5PAE ro root=LABEL=/ rh...

Random Review: Craig Venter creates synthetic life form!

Its time for another update and this one is extremely huge! We human had created synthetic life form (well actually Craig Venter and his team did)! I’m not a bio student nor do I actually know anything about life science so i will keep this short. Life now can be created from chemical and no magical being or power is needed. This will lead to a lot of religion problem. I can foresee that religion group that need God to create life will try to ban this science and Crag Venter might actually receive dead threat as a result of this. Lets all hope the best for Crag team as they are indeed the light of humanity need. Source from Click here to see the guardian news source

IT Review: New Mac Mini released on 15June 2010

Well its time for another product opinion! Yup since I don't actually own this over price piece of high tech rubbish I cant really give a full review but this wont stop me from making causal remark about how overprice and useless this it. Mac Mini looks Height: 3.6 cm Width: 19.7 cm Depth: 19.7 cm Weight: 1.37 kg As expected from Apple, this product is a beauty; it is just 3.6cm deep and its aluminum shell which give it a clean and simple feel. Mac Mini specs 2.4GHz or 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo chip Nvidia GeForce 320M graphics 2GB DDR3 RAM (can support up to 8GB) You will notice that there is an increase of processing power, a better graphic card and more RAM then the last Mac Mini product. While this is certainly welcome but it also come with a higher price tag; S$1088! Considering that most normal people get this product for web surfing or watching video (not editing), this price tag is way too high. Sure the new HDMI port(not available on the previous version...

Well, the Nintendo had just announce that they will be releasing the Nintendo 3D! This will be the new hand held game system that will be making use of stereoscopic technology and give the gamer the 3D experience without the use of any external devices like those 3D glasses. Catch the latest news on Google! Just type Nintendo 3DS' Specs and do a search. A lot of web page have a lot cover on the specs and shown photo of it on their web page so I won’t go into detail regarding those aspects. Since the game system has not being release, I cannot really do a review on it, but as a gamer for at least 10 years, I can do a prediction! I can tell you that no 3D devices have being very successful, example: the Virtual Boy Games The problem with 3D gaming system is that it is very hard to make use of the 3D property into any gaming. Imagine that you are a game developer, how can you make use of the 3D property of the new Nintendo 3Ds and produce a game that no other game system is ab...
