Google just release new phone, the Google phone [link], and Apple is making WWDC @ 27 Jan maybe they'll annoyance new iPhone beside the new tablet iSlate.

I know the title of post is Android not Google phone, so why Google phone?, because it's the best and most updated Android-based phone, not like HTC Hero, Sony Ericsson X10, or Motorola Droid.

The App store in Android is increasing today it count approximately 10,000 app, but iPhone App Store contains 1,000,000 app, but actually Android is being there for one year only and iPhone for 3~4 years since IPhone 2G, so give time for Android and maybe it'll defeat iPhone.

I want to take decision, buy new Google Phone or just wait for new iPhone, or just buy iPhone 3GS because of those features I don't need it and it'll cove my needs.

  At the last, Please take this poll to help me in this decision

   

Next year, I realized the priority of buying a notebook to start developing in mobile way.

So I start reading reviews and do some visits to local computer stores, at last I decide the best machine which meet budget/performance criteria is HP Pavilion DV5z-1030ee [Review], with powerful new AMD Puma system, but sadly I discovered that HP Pavilion machine has a very very poor battery-life; at first it stand for 2 hours with power-saver setting plus the Windows Vista power consuming using 6-cells battery, but now I hardly reach 1:45 hours with Windows 7; and if I buy the 12-cell battery add some money to gain some battery life is still small time period to gain it reach 4:30 ~ 5:00 hours for 12-cells battery.

Some brand like Lenovo, Apple, and Dell you can get more than 2:00 hours with 6-cells battery, why HP can't do what other can?, is this some economic way to increase the profit.

The machine has some Pros.

• Dedicated Graphics card ATI Radeon HD 3450 plus HD 3200 on board.
• The keyboard is the same they used in old apple's macbook, and it's very good for writing fast.
• Excellent screen brightness.
• Some fancy HP features eSata, firewire, and HDMI ports.

Hello folks,

Are you once a time misses the attachment file form important? Is this embarrassing?

I missed an important email attachment and it was CV or resume for job, it was embarrassing and disappointed, so I Google it and found two interesting.

• Missing Attachment PowerToy: work for Microsoft Office Outlook 2007, free, only requires simple information and the link will be sent to mail. [Link]
• Outlook Attachment Reminder: work for both Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 & 2010 Beta, free, open source, requires .net framework 3.5. [Link]

I'm using Outlook Attachment Reminder aka OAR with Microsoft Office Outlook 2010 Beta, it search for a specific word phase in both subject and/or mail body.

No more missing email attachment embarrassing moments.

This is working yahoooooooooooooooo.

I have installed an interesting application - BlogJet. It's a cool Windows client for my blog tool (as well as for other tools). Get your copy here: http://blogjet.com

Today I had my ordered Ubuntu CD from Canonical, it's pretty awesome to feel that there's connection between you and some Huge Computer Software Company like Canonical, Google, or Microsoft.

There's a pharagraph on the back of CD cover

Share the spirit, Ubuntu is an ancient African word which means 'humanity to others'. If you know someone who would enjoy Ubuntu, please pass it on and share the spirit. So I feel it, do you feel it ?

Someday I was listened to Pink Floyd song called Wearing inside out from division bell album and I realized there's apart in lyrics describe the last days of my father days "In Hospital", he had heart attack.

I miss him soooooooooooooooooooooooo much 

Here the part:

Look at him now
Hes paler somehow
But hes coming round
Hes starting to choke
Its been so long since he spoke
Well he can have the words right from my mouth

Fishbowl the windows-based facebook client from UXlab@Microsoft,they build it by using Facebook SDK and the Microsoft Winodows Presentation Foundation aka WPF, it's opensoruce project where's the project codeplex page, it's quit amazing application it has a wonderful UX, it has some cons but that not bad for a preview version, i hope Microsoft add more options or solve cons but in other hand it has a great pros.

Pros:

Cons:

Some screen Captures

Conclusion: Fishbowl is the best and first Facebook windows client and has reach the optimal user experience with WPF technology, i can't leave it, now Facebook online just only for messages, events, groups, and activity like friend requests.

I recommend to download and try it Fishbowl, but first look at the System requirements.

It's hilarious indeed; I'm a big fan of Super Mario in old Ninetudo with 8-bit graphics and the funny music, i think anyone will hear this music will know what's it all about
