BenQ's Slim beauty

BENQ recently launched what it claims is the world's thinnest 24in widescreen monitor – the V2400W, which is a mere 62mm at its thickest point.

Targeted at the premium luxury-lifestyle market, the V2400W offers the first glimpse of BenQ’s new Kinergy Design approach.

Among other things, the new design approach uses Rapid Heat Cycle Molding (RHCM) Injection Technology, which enables new shapes and designs to be made beyond the traditional boxiness, BenQ said.

Torque and friction between the metallic parts of the hinge are precisely calculated so that the right-sided stand can safely support the 24in widescreen and also provide the flexibility to adjust viewing angles. A mirror-black finish highlights the monitor’s premium status and a subtle blue LED and slick touch controls complete the V2400W's look, BenQ said.

Cool design aside, the V2400W does not hold back either when it comes to incorporating advanced features.

The RM1,499 monitor comes with the proprietary Advanced Motion Accelerator Technology (AMA) for super-fast 2ms GTG (gray to gray) response time; a 4,000:1 contrast ratio as well as full 1080p HD support.

There are also various ports such as HDMI, DVI-D and VGA, which ensures that the monitor is future-proof in terms of high-definition connectivity and compatibility.

AdverSCAM : Earn Money with clicks...(Beware!!)

I joined AdverSCAM in September 2007. What is AdverSCAM? AdverSCAM is a site where you get paid for viewing advertisement. For each advertisement you viewed for 30 seconds, you will get $usd0.01. The minimum payout is USD12.50. At first, they will pay you via paypal. Due to the change is Paypal policies, AdverSCAM's paypal account has been limited. Because of that, they plan to send our payment via cheque in stead of other payment processor like Alertpay, E-gold, Moneybooker etc..Why? they also introduced payment via ATM card. it costs USD30 for each ATM card.. and they did sent me my cheque..
But i have a problem cashing it out. The reason i get from bank is that the fees is over the value of my cheque. I need at least USd25 cover up my cheque but my bank only charged me USD5 for oversea cheque. i do not know what is the rest of the fees.. the bank officer told me that the other party will charge me as well due to oversea bank in. As a result, i send a support ticket to AdverSCAM.. this is response i get..

Again! Why they plan to send our payment via cheque in stead of other payment processor like Alertpay, E-gold, Moneybooker etc in the first place.. this is the best way to scam people. They did sent check to you, but it is not 100% guaranty can be cashed out. They would not responsible for the cheque sent. Whether you cashed out or not, that is your problem. If u cannot cashed out, then they will scam you money. For the ATM, i would like to ask a question to the member that purchased the card. "Do you receive your card?"And now they changed the payment processor to Alertpay. Why? Why wouldn't they continue sending payment via cheque? If they do, FBI will knock their door...

Crystal Hill (Gunung Keriang), AlorSetar, Kedah

Gunung Keriang is a small mountain somewhere around AlorSetar.. its a 15 min drive from AlorSetar.. Gunung Kerian also known as Crystal Hill because inside it, there have various type of crystal. When u drive along the road, u can see there are a lot of holes on the surface of the mountain. This is because, the local residents get the crystal and sell it in the market below the mountain.

Me and my gf bought a lot of crystal. I bought 3 pots of crystal and it just cost me RM5.

I bought a bracelet as well. it is known as Tiger's Eye..it cost me rm68.. The Sifu said it will bring luck and fortune.. He also advised me that to remove it and put it on top a crystal when i wanna sleep.. it is to gain back the power from the crystal..haha..funny.. my gf also bought a small version of Tiger's Eye bracelet.. it makes us a prefect couple..haha

Hitman the movie.

i just watched the Hitman the movie. Its a very nice movie full of action. Although there is a confusing in the story line, but overall its a good movie. here is the plot that i get from wikipedia :

"The film opens with a montage showing a group of bald, blue-eyed boys receiving tattoos of bar codes and then shows them being instructed in the use of firearms & martial arts.

Interpol agent Mike Whittier discovers Agent 47 in his study, where the two talk briefly. The scene flashes back 3 months, as 47 is completing a hit in St. Petersburg, Russia. He receives a communication from his Organization contact, Diana, and is told he is to kill his next target, Russian President Mikhail Belicoff, publicly.

Agent 47 succeeds in killing Belicoff using a sniper rifle to achieve a head shot from over 4 km away. However, when 47 is in the train station ready to leave, he's told there's a witness–Nika Boronina–he has to kill. Confronting Nika on a street, he doesn't kill her as he realizes she's never seen him before. Additionally, Belicoff's death was covered up, being portrayed in the media as a grazing wound.

Agent 47 confronts Diana about who would want Nika dead when she wasn't a witness and why Belicoff is still being portrayed as alive. Outside, Mike Whittier and his partner have been tipped off that 47 is in the hotel. They encounter the FSB, lead by Yuri Marklov, who sends in an emergency response team to capture 47. Diana calls 47 directly, informing him that it was Belicoff himself who took out the contract. The troops attack and a hotel battle ensues. Agent 47 successfully escapes, however, the Organization he works for has dispatched assassins to kill him for failing his mission.

Agent 47 kidnaps Nika–who was about to be killed by her driver–and questions her. She suggests 47 may have killed one of Belicoff's doubles, but 47 denies that possibility. The two try to leave by train, but are intercepted by the Organization's assassins. Agent 47 is able to defeat four of them, defeats Mike Whittier who pursued, and escapes with Nika.

Agent 47 arranges a meeting with Agent Smith from the CIA. Agent 47 makes a deal: if Smith helps him sometime in the future, 47 will kill Belicoff's brother, Udre, a slave trafficker, and arms dealer. Smith accepts the deal. Agent 47 and Nika travel to Turkey, where he succeeds in killing Udre.

The death of Udre was a set-up designed to draw Belicoff's double–who, working with Yuri and an unseen cabal, is part of a plot to have a puppet leader in control of Russia–into the open. Agent 47 kidnaps Yuri and forces him to have his own FSB agents try to shoot "Belicoff" as he delivers a eulogy for Udre. Agent 47, disguised as a soldier, takes the double and kills him in the church. He then allows himself to be taken into custody by Interpol and Mike Whittier. However, Agent Smith intercedes at the last minute, allowing 47 to escape.

There is a flash forward to a conversation between agent Whittier and 47, which is taking place at Whitter's house. After wrapping up their conversation, 47 reveals the body of Mr. Price, shaved and dressed to look like 47. They make a deal in which Whitter would go along with 47's plan, admitting that the body in his home is the real 47. As 47 leaves, he turns to Whittier and says that he hopes to never see Whittier again, for the sake of both of them.

The scene then changes to Nika, who is shown picking up an envelope from an undisclosed sender. Inside it, there were papers and a message saying that she now owned a vineyard (she had told 47 of her childhood dream of having one). Meanwhile, 47 is watching her from afar, through the scope of his sniper rifle. He then looks at the corpse of another Hitman, lying close to him, and says "I told you to leave her alone. You should have listened." He then turns back, and walks away."

Intel Atom

As Intel's smallest and lowest power processor², the Intel Atom processor will enable the industry to design new Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs) and affordable Internet-focused notebooks (netbooks) and desktops (nettops). This new processor also serves as the foundation for the all new Intel® Centrino® Atom™ processor technology, a collection of chips that enables amazing Internet experiences in pocketable devices.

Newly designed from the ground up, 45nm Intel Atom processors pack an astounding 47 million transistors on a single chip measuring less than 25mm², making them Intel's smallest and lowest power processors.¹ All this, and while still delivering the power and performance you need for full Internet capabilities.

-Get a new range of power-efficient devices with excellent performance enabled by all new hafnium-infused 45nm high-k silicon technology
-Increase energy efficiency in smaller more compact designs with a thermal design power specification ranging from subwatt to 2.5 watts for mobile devices
-Extend battery life in select devices with an incredibly low idle power as low as 30 mW allowing the device to stay powered on while also conserving energy

Powering the next generation of Internet-centric devices, Intel Atom processors will power the latest in pocketable, portable devices. Based on an entirely new microarchitecture, the Intel Atom processor was developed specifically for performance and low power while maintaining full Intel® Core™ microarchitecture instruction set compatibility. Some Intel Atom processors will also feature multiple threads for better performance and increased system responsiveness.

Devices powered by Intel Atom processors allow you to stay in touch on-the-go, connect to business and enjoy entertainment, remain connected affordably with a new series of netbooks and nettops, and so much more.

"SANTA CLARA, Calif., March 2, 2008 – The Intel® Atom™ processor will be the name for a new family of low-power processors designed specifically for mobile Internet devices (MIDs) and a new class of simple and affordable Internet-centric computers arriving later this year. Together, these new market segments represent a significant new opportunity to grow the overall market for Intel silicon, using the Intel Atom processor as the foundation. The company also announced the Intel® Centrino® Atom™ processor technology brand for MID platforms, consisting of multiple chips that enable the best Internet experience in a pocketable device.

Intel® Atom™ processor Intel® Centrino® Atom™ processor technology

The Intel Atom processor is based on an entirely new microarchitecture designed specifically for small devices and low power, while maintaining the Intel® Core™ 2 Duo instruction set compatibility consumers are accustomed to when using a standard PC and the Internet. The design also includes support for multiple threads for better performance and increased system responsiveness. All of this on a chip that measures less than 25 mm², making it Intel's smallest and lowest power processor yet.1 Up to 11 Intel Atom processor die -- the tiny slivers of silicon packed with 47 million transistors each -- would fit in an area the size of an American penny.

These new chips, previously codenamed Silverthorne and Diamondville, will be manufactured on Intel's industry-leading 45nm process with hi-k metal gate technology. The chips have a thermal design power (TDP) specification in 0.6-2.5 watt range and scale to 1.8GHz speeds depending on customer need. By comparison, today's mainstream mobile Core 2 Duo processors have a TDP in the 35-watt range.

"This is our smallest processor built with the world's smallest transistors," said Intel Executive Vice President and Chief Sales and Marketing Officer Sean Maloney. "This small wonder is a fundamental new shift in design, small yet powerful enough to enable a big Internet experience on these new devices. We believe it will unleash new innovation across the industry."

With personal computing increasingly going mobile and the computer industry rapidly developing new classes of products to connect the next billion people to the Internet, the Intel Atom processor offers customers the unique ability to innovate around the new low-power design. In addition to the MID opportunity, Intel believes the demand for a new category of low-cost, Internet-centric mobile computing devices dubbed "netbooks" and basic Internet-centric desktop PCs dubbed "nettops," will grow substantially over the next several years. The Intel Atom processor is perfectly suited to meet these new market segments.

Intel said the Intel Atom processor also has potential for future revenue opportunities in consumer electronic devices, embedded applications and thin clients."
