Neither I'm going to talk about SAT here..Nor i'm trying to question it's reliability..hu2..i bet that when we think of sat..the first depiction on our mind will be something related to huge collection of lexicon(got it?) right..?
SAT is undeniably a "crucial phase" for students who wish to enter America...We need to ace it in order to get a good college such as M.I.T but yet the exam itself is so frustrating for us sometimes as we aren't familiar with the words used..
I just want to share something small yet-so-important that can greatly bring blocks of score differences..Vocaboly.
Vocaboly is a software that can profoundly improve your mastery of "high-level-rarely-heard" vocabolary..of coz it won't really be helpful for some of you..but i bet some you of you might want something to push your marks little towards the edge right?
Vo-Ca-Bo-Ly...
You can choose which test are you going to take...they will suit the vocab according to the most popular vocab for the test..~
Conventional learning method...sit-and-try-to-remember...5014 words for SAT..~ It also includes on-the-spot recall function~ a small typing game..~
Listen and type..~
My favorite..multiple-choice-question..~
More game...~
eventhough the game is theoretically boring...sometimes it can be fun too...especially if you got some friend to play with..~ =)
After all, frankly speaking, i can't really tell how much this software has helped my mastery of english...i'm telling this because actually i didn't really utilise this software fully...~
some features~
-VOCAB for TOEFL, SAT, GMAT, GRE, VOA SPECIAL ENGLISH(i think IELTS too) -Focus on Popular software -Word Ticker -Recall -Spelling -Listening -Multi-choice test -Memory game -Star War game
But still...i'm sure this software can be a boon for your success..~
Have any of you heard about Malaysian antivirus? I bet some might have heard of this..but i do believe some haven't heard any. Here i just want to share few of malaysian antivirus..(>_<) ! Few of Malaysian antivirus.Yup..it is made FULLY by Malaysian.. Based on my knowledge, there is at least 5 antivirus made by Malaysian...:-
~Vbuster by Uncle Looi Hoong Thoong~ ~Portable Antivirus by Alternator from Putera.COM~ ~GVR@Geekz Virus Remover by Aponie from Putera.COm~ ~AVS@Anti Virus Solution by Neology from Putera.COM~ ~CLAV@Cixent Light Antivirus by Cixent from Putera.Com~
Lucky me because i've been puteranian since 2004 so i can easily keep track on them..=)
*I haven't really check on Lowyat.net whether there is some antivirus products there. *Putera.com is one of the most well-known site for technology reference by Malaysians, especially Malay.
Alternator,Aponie,Neology and CIxent are malay(if i'm not mistaken) while Loong Hooi Thong is Chinese. =)
And for your information, some puteranians are currently still in plan of making new antivirus ; PuteraAntivirus. It is still in early phase of planning but as i don't have enough expertise ^_^,i just want to promote this..~
Need For Speed. This was ( i sad was ) probably the one of the best racing ever existed in this world. Until recently, people still hoping something better than previous NFS ; Prostreet. I am one of them. Previously, for me Prostreet have greatly botched all the glorious moment of NFS generation. It was actually a huge contradiction to the great anticipation by NFS fan.
Prostreet tried to redefine the NFS itself by promoting legal racing instead of illegal racing, which can be considered as a huge revamp to its long-tradition.
And now they name it UNdercover. As the name implies, this game plotted the main character-theplayer- as an undercover cop who tries to gain reputation by doing some dirty work. Fortunately, I have already finished the game.
Let's check some screenshot
i dont like the front screen..no systematic menu.. My Lotus - Hope i can own it in reality..=) Some mission require you to deliver certain place. Quite easy..juz make sure the car still in a good condition..hu2..*look at top-right damage meter~
Bugatti - the fastest car...and one of the most expensive too..~*i used it to defeat the final boss~
My first car...~
hu2..being undercover cop doesn't mean you can evade from police easily..^_^
Sometime i think this nfs has some similarities to gta:san andreas - take-out mission and the map too !
This NFS have quite wide range of designs too..(nice camouflage right?)
i dont really like the gps map..not systematic~
pause menu...
*i did mention to you that i've finished it right...^_^ My bugatti after revamp..
Okay here's my verdict and comment...
Before that , this is the game setting~ -reso 800x600 -antialias @ 6x(0_o!) -all high detail except world set to medium..
comment first:- -the menu are not systematic.. -very nice track.. -wide range of design...almost good as prostreet's collection -foolish AI *sometimes -hardware-demanding...i can only able to play at low resolution..graphics aren't really great.. -story plot confusing...not very clear
Honestly saying, I am quite confused the first time the term 'web 2.0' appeared in my life. I thought the Internet would have massive update and would be transmogrified into another version. After a few researches, I went wrong just like others.
Web 2.0 is rather of idea on what the development of Internet is going through. The infrastructure is just the same, but the application and services keep expanding. If a decade ago Internet is used for only checking mail or searching information, nowadays it goes beyond it; besides, it involves in many parts of our life.
Then, before the deeper understanding of web 2.0 could be achieved, I was provoked with a newer term, 'web 3.0'. If we take a look of it, certainly this represent a higher development of Internet than web 2.0. Web 2.0 pictures the Internet nowadays, Web 3.0 renders the Internet in the future. In this country we might have satisfied with what we get in this day, but believe me the Internet can achieve more. Web 3.0 is described in Wikipedia as 'an Intelligent Web'. In this case, the Internet will not only serve for human, but also understand human's need. There are also other aspects in this web 3.0 such as ubiquitous connectivity and distributed databases.
Web 3.0 reminds me about 'cloud computing', the application which consumers use a centralized services and hardware through Internet connectivity. Companies will provide those things; consumers only need to pay for their services and there is no need for consumers to buy extensive hardware and software for their use. So, if the consumers want to save a terabyte data, they just don't need to buy a terabyte hard drive. They just upload it to the central data storage, and they pay for the service only. This also applies to software and others which can be accessed online.
I don't think my explanation will satisfy you. So, I provide some links for reference.

hmm..i do play a lot of games..but i didn't finish most of it..but call of duty is a different kettle of fish..
before making any review..i feel the need to mention that i have played and finished c.o.d since call of duty 2 ..call of duty 4..and now call of duty 5!=) before playing the game..i have expected the usual feature of call of duty~
