Digg Found Zombie in Google

Software programmers would know these codes used by Google to protect itself from zombies.

Century-old, but sexier

Century-old and winner of 7 Pulitzer Prizes, switches its daily to entirely Web. The pressure of evolution is certainly squeezing newspapers as more of us get our news form the Internet.

This is one evolution to watch as the Web presents an entirely different playground for newspapers and journalists. We'll see the rise and fall of species. Already, many of us get great news content from sources like Beet.tv. And the way news are gathered and presented in Beet.tv is rather different from the normal staple. Journalism is redefined.

Miss Allocation

RM5 billion of EPF contributors' money is being pumped into Bursa Malaysia to bailout selected companies.

That's an injection of 1% of equity into Bursa Malaysia.

Did the gov't guarantee that the return rate would at least equal the EPF 5.8% dividend rate?

How easy the principle of accountability, transparency and good governance flies out the window at a time when UMNO election is hot.

What's the Integrity Institute doing about this?

Why aren't the star bloggers holding candlelight vigil outside EPF and MOF to save our savings? Oh, I forgot - our bloggers are trivia kings.

No Community is Best Served When Only The Elites Are In Control

J.J. Abrams is a model of what creativity is all about. If you look at who he is you can see why he was able to create his wonderful series Lost. He's passionate. He doesn't have limits. He demonstrates his level of depth as he talks about the jaws scene. What insight! He reminds of us to teach our children to be curious. He doesn't say it outright but he models it. He gets to do what most just wander around unsure of how to get there, which is to live his passion and get paid for it. The idea of the mystery box is a great metaphor. Watch it here on TED.COM.

Whiplashed By Vagina Monologues

The UN statistics say that 1 out of every 3 women will face some kind of abuse in their lifetime is staggering but true.

More likely, the world needs a type of Male Monologue, than a Vagina Monologue. Being a true man is not taking advantage of someone because you are bigger, stronger, or have more testosterone, it is treating others and yourself with respect. It is protecting and defending the weak, the disadvantaged. Negative actions by "weak men" destroy the lives of the the ones they hurt and will ultimately hurt themselves in the long run.

How To Stay Sexy with Zero Carbon Footprint

If only we would check our carbon footprint as often as we check our rear.  But going beyond just checking how they emit, Castello Monte Vibiano Vecchio olive oil farm, north of Rome, is attempting to create a pioneering carbon-neutral farm. A range of new technologies is being installed at the farm as part of an experiment to cut its CO2 emissions to zero over the course of the next year.

They include everything from electric farm vehicles to sun-reflecting paint on storage buildings. One of the key investments is in a unique solar powered battery re-charging centre, built by Cellstrom of Austria. Until now, electricity generated by the sun has generally had to be used immediately. It is one reason why opponents say solar power is limited. 

Depending on the amount of usage, the battery centre can store solar-sourced electricity for up to three days. They are working to extend that to 10 days and more, enabling the farm to continue operating through foggy days when the sun does not shine.

Cellstrom estimates the farm can save 4,500 litres of petrol every year and reduce CO2 emissions by 10 tons.

The farm owner believes they have no choice but to get agriculture to adapt to climate change, and that "it is our interest for the sake of our crops to be friendly to the planet."

So, agriculture is now doing its bit on climate change.

Killing of the next generation

You may not know that chicken nuggets, sausages, and burgers that you get from the supermarkets are made of mainly chicken skin and chicken fat. That's why they taste sooo gooooood. Kids love them and we feed them often with these non-nutrient food, at home and mostly in school. Watch this video from start to finish. We really should be jailed for how we feed our children. You can download the video here.

Priceless, What Flooded KLIA on 30-Sep-2008

For all that Russia was, and for all I once knew of Russia, I would never expect Malaysians in droves, and let alone, my child, to be studying or living in Russia. Well, she is the generation of a globalized world - a global citizen. Citizens of one borderless world. Will the more advanced global citizens defeat those of us staying put in the confines of our hometown? How are we preparing the future generation for an even more borderless, globalized economy? Will parents, our family institutions and our education system build generations that can thrive in this new era? Will we leave generations of Malaysians that will fall to the more advanced societies?

Carsutra - Car Park Sex in no Dream City

This report in The Star, did not highlight a common feature of parking lots in Cyberjaya when it's after dark - CARSUTRA (watch video below). Check the parking lots of the SME buildings after office hours - it's a venue for wriggly bodies in the confines of parked cars.

Many have said it before too many times - at the rate things are going, Cyberjaya will lose out in more than one ways. The Cyberjaya City Command Center (CCC), if you knew what it was supposed to be, is now just one empty building rotting away. As the name suggests, it was to house the brain of the city, monitoring the smart sensors and cameras around the city, alerting whoever are supposed to be alerted and dispatching response teams to do the needful. But that's only a small portion of the big dream. Has anybody been held accountable for the millions in wasted taxpayers' money?

Observing the behaviours of the guys of Cyberview, it's not difficult to forsee the future of Cyberjaya. It's a common symptom of organizational dysfunction - the boss buys himself a brand new E-Class, parks right at the office entrance (what if there is emergency?), VIP themselves at events and functions by having VIP parking and VIP tables for themselves, and sit among themselves. You'd be lucky if they return your calls or apologize for missing a scheduled appointment. When you hold yourself high and mighty, and use your position and taxpayers money to indulge in self-glorification, you'll certainly fail the purpose that you are supposed to serve.

You can't even get the car parks right! Given that the car parks have other useful purposes after office hours, Cyberview should take the opportunity (not to engage in voyeurism) to be the city for outsourcing sex. Think about it - Cyberjaya, the world's premier city for outsourced sex and sex shared services. Imagine how lucrative it would be - thriving call centers, sweaty body shops - all so unlike any other cities. Why not - Cyberjaya already has some of the infrastructures for that and the large population of foreign workers in Cyberjaya provides ready market.

To promote to the world and get instant impact with little cost, Cyberview can learn from British "media consultancy" ST16. ST16 won the International Gold Award for viral film at the New York Film Festival for its hit online short called Steamy Windows. The video has attracted 2.4 million views on YouTube in 6 months and another 65,000 on Kontraband. Why so many views? Watch this "Hot Girl Having Sex In A Car" video. Best backseat romp ever.

Cut The Cord to Stay Young and Sexy

Still having a fixed landline? That's equivalent to many wrinkle lines. Your age is showing.

While most Internet users still surf over landlines, traditional phone providers like TM aren't growing landline subscribers. The young, hip, cool people, mostly ages 18 - 34, have cellphones or 3G modems only. As cellphone makers and Google introduce even slickier iPhone rivalries, the Internet is in the pockets of the millions of young cellphone users.

Still asking your 8 year-old for help with your cellphone?
