Today, Machines(KLCC) had their official opening and there were 50 units of iPod Shuffle sold with 50% off. I thought I would be one of the first ten person, but i was totally wrong. It was 8.30am and there were about 20-30 people already standing in front of the closed store. Some of them I heard came at 7. Feh! Met a few person who aren't so familiar with Apple, but have the desire to have one product. Been asked a no-brainer question also(silly but funny).
And I also met this Machines guy from the Mid Valley Machines store and we(with kevler) talked about few cool things. There were drinks and pastries and not to forget, the new iMac which didn't really caught my attention. What so sad is, no iPhone preview and they announced the cancellation last minute. Anyway, Machines did a good job and thanks for paying 200 for my 1st mp3 player. Erm..I dislike Apple earphone. I prefer my sennheiser =p
Yeah, I've heard this somewhere, Azul bought an iPhone from San Francisco and manage to unlock and use it here in Malaysia. Well, I'm looking forward to Azul at the next MyMug meetup =p
Some maths here. The price tag says rm.349. But in US they sell for usd.79 which is rm.277 here. WTF! Anyway they sold to us for rm.147 which is pretty cool.

Download Youtube Video
THIS TWO SITES ARE COOL! You give them youtube URL, and they will convert the video to some popular format such as .AVI .MOV .MP4 .3GP and even MP3. Later you'll be shown a download link where you can save the requested video to your computer. Now I don't have to extract the .FLV and hog my cpu to encode them to other format.

Internet Connection Sharing on Mac OS X
Windows ICS is painful. Unlike Mac OS X which involve only three steps in System Preferences. Sharing > Internet Tab > Start. Now everybody in my house can surf!
Like what you see here I've set up a sharing preferences where other computers are able to connect to my laptop using wireless connection and share my internet access which I've connected to using bluetooth through my handphone.

Mac OS X + Motorola RAZR V3X + 3G Internet
Surfing with Windows on my mom's laptop is hardly enjoyable since I'm a Mac user. But we use 3G connection on a her Motorola RAZR V3X. On Windows, the setup is pretty straight. Not for Windows.
1. Download the Motorola GPRS Modem scripts from here.
2. Unzip the scripts, and copy the "Motorola GPRS CID1" script file to the "/Library/Modem Scripts" folder.
3. Set up Bluetooth. System Preferences > Bluetooth. Make sure that "Show Bluetooth status in the menu bar is checked".
4. Turn on your Motorola, and make sure that Bluetooth is on and discoverable (Connections > Bluetooth > Find Me).
5. On your Mac, in the Bluetooth settings (System Preferences > Bluetooth) select the Devices tab, and then press the "Setup new device" button. You can also select this item from the Bluetooth icon on your task bar.
6. Follow the instructions and pair the Motorola with your Mac.
7. In step 4 of 5 of the pairing process, make sure to check the "Access the Internet with your phone's data connection" checkbox, and select the "Use a direct, higher speed connection to reach your Internet Service Provider (GPRS, 1xRTT)" Radio Button. Select continue.
8. In the next screen, leave the username and password blank. For the GRPS CID String enter *99#, and for Modem Script, select "Motorola GPRS CID1". Click continue. Then click Quit.
9. Open Network Preferences (System Preferences > Network), highlight USB Bluetooth Modem Adaptor, and click configure.
10. Don't change TCP/IP settings. Switch to the PPP tab. Leave everything blank, except the Telephone Number which should be *99#.
11. Click the PPP Options button, and make sure that "Send PPP echo packets" is unchecked. This is very important. If you don't do this step, the connection will disconnect after a few seconds. Click OK.
12. Switch to the Bluetooth Tab, and make sure the correct Modem Script is selected, and everything is checked except for "Wait for dial tone before dialing".
13. Switch back to the PPP Tab and click the "Dial Now..." button. Set configuration to "Other" and leave everything blank. Press the "Connect" button. After a second or two a terminal window will come up, just hit the continue button.
14. You should now be connected. Open a browser and browse to a web page to make sure you are connected.
