I think MacBook Pro is overpriced. This is because I could get a laptop with a similar specification for half the price. On top of that , there are some heat-releated issues that Apple should solve with their MacBook Pro series. Overall for me , I don't think its worth it. Its just my thought

PHP 5.3

fyire — Wed, 20 May 2009 20:14:35 +0800

So, PHP 5.3 is coming soon, and saw a poll here: http://twtpoll.com/r/ltec8e on how will different ppl get their hands on it.

Thought it'll be interesting to duplicate the poll for the community here, so give your answers

For me, it'll be via source, and my development & deployment platforms are mainly on OS X and FreeBSD for my own in house stuff.

I'll take the binary package from a linux distro if its available for the times when I need to deploy on Linux for the clients who are more comfortable with Linux rather than FreeBSD.

Hi, my name is Jinny and I'm currently doing my postgraduate diploma studies with the School of Arts and Sciences in Monash University. I'm doing a research on Malaysian female students in Computer Science and IT Education and I'd like to have a little chat with you about your experiences studying CS/IT! I am conducting a survey and interviews to gather some data for my research on the approaches, experiences and motivations of a female student in CS/IT. These interviews are very integral to my qualitative researching.

What are the benefits of participating in the interview and survey?
Your participation in this research project would greatly contribute to building research in the area of gender, technology and education in a Malaysian context, and hopefully will lay the path to making the Computer Science and IT study experience more enjoyable, rewarding, attractive and friendly to female students!
