T-Mobile HotSpot @ Home

YES!
Thank god I didn't switch to AT&T with their iPhone. OK. It's not an internet phone, it's a phone through your WiFi connection. "What the advantages?," you asked.

2 Advantages:
1. VOiP - When you are on the range of WiFi connection, you can make a phone call through the WiFi, no matter if there's a T-Mobile reception around you or not.
- For people like me who doesn't have reception/signal at home, I can use it through the WiFi so you can hear me.
2. Free up your minutes. Do I need to say more? If you have 1000 anytime minutes, you won't use that unless you use the T-Mobile signal. If you use the WiFi, it's only $9.99 (promotional price).

I know there's Skype and other VOiP, but I can go in and out between WiFi and T-Mobile Signal without dropping any calls. I heard of this kind of phone in England (they have better service, btw). However, it solves my problem of not having signal at home.

What even better, if it actually work, VOiP works anywhere you go. So, if I go overseas, and I have my router to make the wireless connections, GUESS WHAT? I can use my T-Mobile number as I'm calling local in the US.

Well, hopefully they are going to make it more advance in the near future.

Transformer - It's more than meet the eye

Transformer - Directed by Michael Bay
Beside Alien Robots saving the world, it's 3 hours GM cars' commercials. Followed by a couple of second XBOX and Pepsi Cola, also many others.

This is give a new definition of product placement. Don't just put it, sponsor the whole movie. Beside Optimus Prime, all the other transformers are stay as a GM vehicle most of the times. Out of 10 Transformers, only one stay as a robot the entire movie, Megatron.

By the way, if 10 is not enough Transformers for you, expect to see more on 2, 3, 4, 5 maybe 7?
Damn, I still don't like Spielberg's movies. And, I don't like Michael Bay's movies either. "The Island?" Fuck that. Well, maybe "Armagedon."

$152 mill opening weekend? Yeah, but they open since Tuesday. Is that even count? That's not fair. That's a whole week count. That's not a weekend. YOU ONLY OPEN FOR $64 MILLION ON THE WEEKEND. Try to open on Friday and break $100 mill, fuckers.

Independence Day

"Who did America independent from?"
Well, the July 4, 1776, the declared they were free from the British. What is the meaning of independent?

Well, for Indonesia, being independent was being free from the invader. In the US, they were the invader and they were independent from them selves?

I think 9/11 should be a better date for independence day. It's more fit to definition. Does it?

iPhone - 1st Look!

iPhone
So, after a first look at the iPhone , I'm still not interested in an iPhone. The Safari was not really appealing to me. It took Forever to load. For some reason I wanted everything NOW, like in my computer. When I tried to zoom in to a section, like Login, it took a while to load. Worst, I 'almost' never hit the right letter on the keyboard (for some reason I always hit M for N - it's INDRA not IMDRA). I didn't know if I hit the right letter for my password for 2 times. So, I decided to stop trying, cause I didn't want Google to block my e-mail just because I couldn't type the right letter on the iPhone.

The iPod was just OK, the YouTube, I didn't care, the Mail, I still rathered use my computer, the SMS, I don't know, I was having problem typing on the keypad, I didn't even bother trying.

What else is cool? Oh!, it doesn't look too glamorous. It doesn't look like $500. If I spend $500 on a phone, it better look like a $10,000 phone, not like a $200 phone.

Beside the keyboard that doesn't work as I wished it would, I don't think the iPhone really user friendly yet. I kept forgetting how to go back to the main menu. I kept hitting the 'X' looking icon on safari or at least to look for one, when I supposed to hit the Home button on the middle-bottom of the phone. Also, it took forever for me to turn it on, cause I had hard time turning the slider to the side. It kept going back to the original position.

One major thing iPhone need to fix is the Keyboard. When I turn it sideway, I want the keyboard to turn sideways (to make it bigger). Also, I should be able to enlarge the keypad, and make it look like glass look, like.....VISTA. That way, I can type with large thumb and see what I typed underneath the keyboard, it's like looking underneath the glass. Come on Steve, copy something from Microsoft.

Btw, my Sony Ericson has a brighter camera and a better looking one than the iPhone does. Fuck iPhone's camera. It just bad. My camera has 2MP too, fucker. Fuck that. Yes, I say, FUCK iPhone's camera, it SUCKS. Also, my phone-camera has a light, to help in the dark, iPhone is already dark on a full lite room. Fuck 'em.

Ratatouille - 2007 Mickey Mouse?

"Ratatouille"
Is 2007 the come back of the mouse? I honestly enjoy the movie. I watched it at AMC Burbank on opening night, and this is the first time, there aren't too many people watching this funny movie (not hilarious - just funny).
It's interesting to see that Mickey Mouse law almost put Mickey Mouse own the public, and here comes another mouse after so many years. How many more year does the Mickey Mouse's law is going to last? Another 50 years?
Well, beside all that non-sense that I thought during my 1 hour driving, the movie was pretty funny. It's like any other Disney movie, reach for the star - and stuffs. You know, Disney's motto, ~ When you wish upon a star ~ Makes no difference who you are (Anybody can cook, including a mouse).

Seriously! You don't expect me to let a mouse to cook in my kitchen, do you? do you? DO YOU? Unless, it's Mickey Mouse, I'll grab the broom and chase the mouse 'till... I can't see it anymore. (Btw, if Mickey is in my house, I won't grab the broom, I'll call 911).

All and all, I enjoy the movie. It was really entertaining. I can honestly say, I won't be able to write something like that, yet.
