Kiasu

pcboy — Sun, 02 Dec 2012 15:49:11 +0800

Kiasu (Chinese: 驚輸; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: kiaⁿ-su) is a Hokkien word that literally means 'fear of losing' (Vernacular Chinese: 怕输). However its actual usage would imply a meaning more approaching that of "dog in a manger", and yet not quite (Landon Mossburg). Examples of kiasu behaviour includes accumulating too much food on one's plate during a buffet lunch in case there is no more food later or joining a queue many days in advance just to ensure that one successfully gets hold of the limited free tickets to events, promotions and shows such as Singapore's annual National Day Parade.

Kool Paintings in Georgetown streets

pcboy — Tue, 03 Jul 2012 23:27:07 +0800

Sorry if I'm slowpokko but I just found this on international art website sos1 and sos2

QUOTE

A great new street artist is making a splash in Malaysia this month. Painter Ernest Zacharevic created four new works where his painted figures of mischievous children are seen interacting with their physical surroundings: an old bicycle, a motorcycle, or even windows on the side of a building. His most popular piece of two small children on a large bicycle has become a major destination in the city with dozens of people stopping to take creative photos. I want to thank Annie and Ross of the very fine AsiaDreaming blog for providing many of the photographs for this post. The rest you can see on Zacharevic’s Facebook. (via lustik, art and seasons)

AGPS Patch. Speed-up your GPS Satellite Locking

pcboy — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 12:33:53 +0800

Hi guys,

This is not new but some users might don't know yet about this fix. I've tried it on my SGS II (ICS 4.0.3) and it's proven to be working. Those are running on Gingerbread shouldn't be any problem. My device locks satellite within 40 seconds after fresh reboot (without wireless network location). Enabling wireless location gives me 10 seconds to lock satellites.

More info: source

Here are supported devices for this fix:

HTC Inspire 4G
HTC Desire HD
HTC Sensation
HTC Incredible S
Acer Iconia
LG Optimus One
Sony Ericcson XPERIA X8
HTC Salsa
HTC Flyer
HTC Evo 3D
LG GT-540 OPTIMUS
Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket (SGH-I727)
Samsung Galaxy S II (I9100)
HTC Desire S
Motorola Triumph
HTC Wildfire
HTC Wildfire S
HTC Droid Incredible 2
HTC Thunderbolt

I strongly recommend to apply Google Build fix instead of others which can be directly downloaded from here

Apply it via CWM Recovery and 'mount /system' first before flashing

*Please make nandroid backup before flashing, you always can revert back to original if this fix mess up your phone
*There are other ways to apply this fix (via ADB or Root Explorer), please read from link above
*Apply this everytime you change ROM or upgrade

Last but not least, please share your results with us

P/S:
I've made a demo video, hope it helps

Mac OS X Lion - v10.7 Q&A Discussion Thread

pcboy — Sat, 26 Feb 2011 20:35:43 +0800

Apple is finally letting go of old windowing conventions that date back to the original Macintosh, allowing users in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion to fluidly interact with windows any way they like.

Back in 1984, Apple had to bundle new Macs with instructions on how to use a mouse. Today, users don't need the same kind of hand-holding, although the company now includes videos within System Preferences to demonstrate how various multitouch gestures work.

Apple has increasingly stripped the Mac OS Human User Interface Guidelines of unnecessary chrome designed to show them how to do things (like resize windows, or reposition information within a window) that are now easier to discover, thanks to smoothly animated graphical transitions.

Apple's chief executive Steve Jobs demonstrated some of the new features of Lion back in September.

Overlay scrollbars

Many of these advances were pioneered by iPhone's iOS, including the removal of full sized scroll bars that tend to take up a significant strip of valuable real estate, particularly on mobile devices.

As was only hinted at previously, Mac OS X Lion will similarly draw only subtle "overlay scrollbars" when necessary, allowing them to fade away to avoid consuming area within windows.

As demonstrated in the video below, Lion's scrollbars can be directly interacted with using the pointer while they are visible, a trick that isn't possible on iOS.

Flexible window resizing

The Mac now gains the ability to resize windows from any edge or corner, similar to features exposed over twenty years ago by Jobs' NeXTSTEP operating system, but which were removed from Mac OS X in order to preserve the look and feel of the original Mac UI.

Lion exposes flexible window resizing without resorting to resize controls however; the edges of windows remain borderless, with only a pointer change indicating the directions a window boundary can be resized.

Keep in mind that what you see here is only valid as of February 2011, and could change by the time Mac OS X Lion is released in the summer of 2011.

Enhanced Finder features

Specific to the Finder, Lion gets a revised source list, with simple monochromatic icons that look borrowed from the iPad. Also, rather than using triangle disclosure controls to hide item lists, the revised source list simply offers a "hide" button that appears when the pointer is nearby.

The Finder's "Places" is also replaced with "Favorites," and "Search For" is removed, with search queries now added as a gear icon under the Favorites list. Icons in the source list no longer disappear in a poof of smoke; they now require a right click to open a contextual menu that offers to remove the item, a more deliberate action that is harder to enact by mistake.

Finder views are presented with a new virtual physical slider control reminiscent of the iOS, and more items are presented as Cover Flow listings that can be flicked through by the user, indicating a shift toward intuitive, "hands on" multitouch navigation items.

A new Quick View panel presents previews within a light grey window rather than the translucent black "heads up display" of the existing Mac OS X, providing both a new full screen icon in the top right (rather than at the bottom, as it is currently). This control is now standard on many windows, providing a way to make an individual window a full screen view that gets rid of both the window controls and the system's menu bar, while still easy to escape from using the reappearing menu bar that drops down from the top. Again, more iOS simplicity that focuses on content rather than a complex user interface.

QuickView windows also present a button that can open the item being viewed, such as a Preview link for graphics (as depicted in the video) or an option to open a volume or folder in its own window. The green Zoom button now works consistently as a control to optimize the size of the window to fit its contents, leaving the full screen button to do a separate task.

Enhanced Gestures

Apple has also demonstrated a series of gestures that can be used to open Launchpad, invoke Mission Control for moving between full screen apps (which are each located in their own virtual desktop via Spaces), Dashboard, and other open programs and their applications, as well as navigating between web pages and within pages using new Double Tap to Pinch to Zoom features borrowed from iOS.
