Kings of Europe!

European Champions!

Well done United! Double winner of 2007/2008 season. Crowned European Champion in Moscow (hometown of Roman) How ironic!!

Hero of the night, van der Sar saved Anelka's penalty, to win the Champions League title. Rubbing into the wound, Chelsea captain John Terry missed the crucial penalty kick of the sudden death penalty shoot-out.

Cry baby cry, Terry!! Missing the penalty during the shoot-out, Ronaldo was very fortunate to have the lady luck by his team side. But he desrved the standing ovation for his overall performance, scoring the opening goal which was thought to be the winning goal but to the disappointment of the United fans, Chelsea Lampard scored the equaliser just before the half-time. 2 great chances came by just before the equalizing goal, missed by Tevez and the would-have-been goal by Carrick was saved by the face of Terry. Oh my! What a first half!

Opening goal: Ronaldo header!

Second half resumes where Chelsea dominated the whole half. Drogba almost scored but denied by the post. Lucky Lucky United! a couple more chances by Chelsea but too bad, lady luck wasnt on their side. The games went to extra-time, with both side finding the winning goal but to no avail. Chelsea hit the post again, and United's clear chance on goal shot was cleared by the solid defence of Chelsea.

Awful incident at the end of the 2nd half of extra time. SLAP! There goes Drogba! A slap on Vidic's face, and a slap of RED card on your face, you Drog! What an ending to his final! Pathetic! Kah Fai (Chelsea fan) claimed, "He should go, ass!!"

Penalties:
United - Tevez, Carrick, Hargreaves, Nani, Anderson, Giggs [Ronaldo missed]
Chelsea - Ballack, Belletti, Lampard, A.Cole, Kalou [Terry & Anelka missed]

Champione!! Champione!! Champione!!

Tough luck Chelsea, maybe some other time! Goodbye Avram! Farewell!!

Premier League Champions for the 10th time!

Apple's second-biggest event of the year, its Worldwide Developers Conference, is drawing near. That means it's time for the tech media's traditional heap of speculation and wishful thinking, hammered into the constraints of a numbered list. So with no further ado, here is Wired.com's list of the top events to expect at WWDC 2008, June 9-13 in San Francisco.

What's that you say? You'd like to go? Hope you already bought your tickets, because WWDC is already sold out. Fortunately, you can see the future right here on Gadget Lab.

Disclaimer: ninety percent of what is written below (or on any gadget blog) will turn out to be far from the mark or just plain wrong, but hey, if we don't make a guess, we won't get anything right.

1. 3G iPhone

We expect this one at least to come true. The stock of current iPhones has dried up. Even the Mothership has run out, and orders are being filled with by a combination of rationing (AT&T is limiting orders to one per customer) and recycling (AT&T is selling reconditioned handsets). The rumors are whirling around us like trailer park dogs in a twister, and seemingly every telco in the world is announcing deals with Apple, bringing the potential market of the iPhone to 500 million.

What to expect? Well, 3G is all but certain. GPS would be nice, although it isn't a standard part of the Infineon chip (pdf) expected to power the iPhone 2.0. The software we mostly know about because the SDK is out there in use and leaking new information almost daily. A proper camera is essential: The crappy 2 megapixel camera in the current iPhone is not much more than an afterthought; the new one should at least have video.

A month ago we asked you what you would like to see and you came up with some crackers: Radio (never), Bluetooth for headphones (maybe), MicroSD slot (yeah, right) and a real keyboard (never!)

Expect the 3G iPhone to become available right around June 15, which is when AT&T employees have been told not to take a vacation (presumably, to deal with the iPhone demand).

Likelihood: 10/10

2. Proper New MacBook Pro

Up until we broke the news of the MacBook Air (one day before it first slid from a manilla envelope), many people were predicting a new 12" MacBook Pro to replace the beloved 12" PowerBook of old. Apple refreshed the aging pro notebook line in February, but apart from some multi touch love under the hood, there wasn't much change. In fact, the MacBook Pro is almost exactly the same in looks as the original PowerBook G4, announced back in January 2001. It's time for a change.

We expect a big multi touch trackpad, the new chiclet-style keyboard, an almost bezel-less screen (which should bring the overall size down despite still having a 15" screen) and perhaps some 3G connectivity (Apple has so many deals with cellphone networks now that an international rollout of an always-on connection is feasible). We'll probably see a version without an optical drive, too, perhaps with a second hard drive filing the space. And after all the whining about the MacBook Air being a little wussy in its specs, it could be time for Apple to drive home a powerful, well endowed twelve-incher.

Likelihood: 8/10

3. Aluminum MacBook

This rumor has been drifting in the background for a while. If true, expect nothing more than a new case and a multi touch trackpad. White plastic used to be the marker that set the consumer goods apart from the pro gear, but ever since the iMac went all brushed aluminum and the iPod lost its iconic white case, that's no longer so.

Likelihood: 4/10

4. Internet Tablet

Steve Jobs said that Apple would never make a Tablet Mac. He also said there would never be a video iPod. A Kindle-sized iPod Touch would certainly be a great toy, but would anybody buy it? The iPod Touch is popular because it is a regular sized iPod with a slew of killer features, and people are used to the size. But a MacBook Touch would be a whole new product: too big to fit in a pocket and too small to do any real work (not to mention the lack of a real keyboard). But then, if anybody can take a flailing (read: all current tablet PCs) category and make it attractive, it's Apple. Remember the iPod?

Likelihood: 1/10

5. Touch Screen Nano
Why not? Ever since Apple got all touchy-feely with the iPhone, touch is showing up everywhere. We don't expect a full on mini iPod Touch, but an iPod of the current Nano's size which is all screen on one face is certainly possible. Apple could leave out email and Maps (and the Stocks application – who ever uses that apart from Jobs himself?), but Wi-Fi would be likely, if only for buying tracks from the iTunes Store.

Likelihood: 5/10

break from "doing nothing"

From my iPod Touch to my latest gadget, iPhone. People must be scream at his or her top (especially sebastian) :p "Why the hell you get iPhone now since you have an iPod Touch months ago? 3G iPhone is rumoured to be released this summer" but there's no concrete statement saying about it. So itchy 'butt' prevails and i got my hand on the iPhone and being my baby ever since!

Thank you Arther! Haha.. Image below shows my beloved gadgets:

Next stop, any suggestion?

Anyone up for degree in blogging?

UiTM to start blogging courses

SHAH ALAM: Malaysians interested in blogging may soon be able to take up courses on the subject at Universiti Teknologi Mara.

Its vice-chancellor, Datuk Seri Prof Dr Ibrahim Abu Shah, said the university was ready to help prospective bloggers become more credible in their reporting.

He said blogging was different from traditional media, which required reporters to have academic qualifications.

"Anyone can become a blogger now," he told reporters after a seminar here yesterday.

But this did not mean bloggers could write about anything, as they first needed to master several aspects of writing, such as language, ethics and accuracy of reporting.
Ibrahim said he supported any proposal to offer courses on blogging and that it was the most suitable time to do so.

"We know bloggers are intelligent, but we want to help them be more professional."

Earlier in his speech, Ibrahim said the function of traditional media had changed with the arrival of new media, which he said focused more on the younger generation.

He added that people saw new media as an avenue through which they could express themselves and speak their minds.


**oh my, Singapore has started toilet degree, and now Malaysia has degree in blogging? Soon, we will have Indonesia having degree in............ "u think of anything u want"
