posting without thinking

Proud youth gets into trouble because of their rash posting. They post without thinking of the consqeuences. Knowing that their posting is aiming at a majority group of people, they just post them onto the net. The net is like a public notice board. Everyone gets to read it. If you put it as private, for the privileged friends that you tagged, think again. One of the youth got "poked" by one of these friends when her private post got leaked. Perhaps those friends are just net friends. For various reasons, it just happened. Will this be a lesson to future posters? It certainly won't be the last.

Job apply with Facebook access

In the US, if a person applies for a job, there is a possibility that the company may ask him for his Facebook access. According to news article, it stated that the company involves wants to know more about the person. Indeed, depending on how much a user of Facebook uses, the degree of showing oneself will be different. But it would be very uncomfortable to force someone to show you his access, or even force to friend the manager or someone whom you have no wish to friend. Sure you can reject and you won't get your job too. What has the world come to be? What about those that never uses Facebook? You might say it is unbelievable and would assume it would be an excuse to fake out. Right now it might be hard to control in the US but for other smaller countries, I doubt this problem would happen. The gov would surely comes down hard on company demanding the Facebook access. What next? Key to your apartment?

Hover screen

Touch screen on smart phone have been much adapted. Personally I would have preferred the old styled buttons. You can type without looking at the screen or the keypad. You just feel on the edge of the buttons to get the character you want. Now Sony comes out with the float screen. According to the Yahoo article which describe the function as "You don’t even need to caress the screen of Sony’s “magical” smartphone to interact with it -- just hover your finger over the screen to navigate through the menus." How is hover being easy? Until I get to use one I would decide how good it is but until then, I could imagine, if my finger touches the screen would the command given be taken or not? How far the hovering be the accepted distance? Right now the thought of hover for longer timing just don't seems good for the finger.

Cybertron Con 2012

Went to the first ever Transformers Cybertron Convention at Sentosa. It is my first ever self trip to the island. Entrance fee just pay using ezlink like using the MRT. A bit of finding the way to the convention hall and it was a breeze. I had purchase the ticket in advance so I need not have to queue again. However the craps started here onwards. You have blockers everywhere. It was difficult to take pictures and blockers even start to stand behind you that if you step backwards you step into them. Next into the merchandise section, everything are quite expensive. The toys are not impressive. They can be found outside and the Decepticon Rodimus is a collectable but costly. Only for die hard collectors. What I hate is that all the merchandises are from the movies characters. Many of them Optimus Prime and Bumblebee. I don't see how Bumblebee can be a leading character despite it been one in the movie and subsequent animation Prime. They are a redesigned vehicle. Unlike the original Transformers cartoon where there are many many other characters much better than Bumblebee.

At a wedding dinner

At a wedding dinner of a colleague tonight. It was the usual yum sing from the usual kakis. When the video shown at how picking up bride will always be hard to get thing where the guys will have to do some task before they be enter house, I find that most every wedding similar happening to the guys. It seems to be a put off to me. For now I am still waiting. Maybe until then I may think different.

Scarlet Heart is good

After watching finish the drama Scarlet Heart, I was surprised I could get attracted to such shows. I don't usually watch drama, least to say, idol type plus love and cry type. Somehow when I do channel hopping and I procee to watch portion by portion, I got hooked. I got hooked onto the ongoing plot and following the adventure of the female lead. Then there is also the theme song or music that is very captivating. When mix this with heart wrenching scene, I would go into feely mode. The ending isn't that perfect but still well done. They did it to start a second part. The second part probably wouldn't be as good as the first. Until it comes out, it remains to be seen if it breaks as hard as the first, the tear ducts. Right now, the theme music is stuck in my mind. Early days I heard of such sad music from computer game xuan yuan jian, now this music is as good, if not better. Maybe you can't compare but right now I would give it five stars.
