Online shopping has gain its popularity all around the world nowadays with the advance of the Internet. Just like the amount of websites we can find on the Internet, there are too many online deals for us to choose from. Hence we do need a search engine which helps us to aggregate all merchant offers, just like what Google is helping us in searching of websites.

Twenga is a UK Shopping Search Engine which was launched in 2006. The shopping search engine finds the best and relevant deals for any product ranged from household appliances, fashion, furnitures, computer hardware, etc. Deals in UK, France, Spain and Italy are now available in Twenga Search.

I am actually hunting for a new mobile phone right now, so I did a search in Twenga for Nokia N80. On top of the description of the mobile phone the search result showed me 13 reviews of the product. These reviews comprises of consumer and expert reviews. Besides, the best price I can get from major online sellers can be found on the left side of the search result too.

I’ve come across this interesting movie clip called The Google Master Plan in Youtube quite some time ago. It’s a movie directed and produced by Ozan Halici & Jürgen Mayer for their Bachelors’s Thesis at the University of Applied Sciences Ulm, Germany.

The movie basically talks about how Google can use their free services like Google Search and Gmail with their gigantic database for some known, and possibly unknown, purposes. Well, it talks about our privacy as users of Google free services as well. Needless to say, it got me ponder how powerful Google is nowadays.

I’m sure you don’t want to miss this awesome video clip :-

Check out their The Google Master Plan website. There are some different video formats of the movie ready for download too.

iPod’s fans have made history as Apple announced yesterday that there have been 100 million iPods sold to date, since its launch in November 2001! 100 million sold in five and a half years is incredible and there is no doubt iPod is still the pioneer in music player industry.

Aside from making history, one of the good side effects from this incredible sales is that it brought sales to other products too.

Quoted:
The iPod has also sparked an unprecedented ecosystem of over 4,000 accessories made specifically for the iPod that range from fashionable cases to speaker systems, and more than 70 percent of 2007-model US automobiles currently offer iPod connectivity.

Anyway, if you want to know more about iPod, Wikipedia has a very detailed page for it.

After another hectic week with server outage issues, death of desktop’s motherboard and some offline activities, I’m finally back to blogging again.

Every time when I come back blogging, the first thing I need to deal with is the spam comments. This is the biggest trouble I need to face because usually the number of the spam comments is huge! Last week it marked the most spam comments I’ve received so far, just take a look for yourself :-

Minus some less than 30 comments that still under moderation, the rest are just simply spam comments. Can you imagine that?
Anyway, I did glance through all the comments in case I miss any valuable one before deleting the junk.

Talking about spam filter for Wordpress, I’ve tried Bad Behaviour and Spam Karma. Both of them didn’t really give good results.
I will have to try Askimet soon.

Anyone has an effective spam filter to recommend? I need it badly!
Thanks.

I bet all PC manufacturers are now bundling their computer with the latest Windows Vista operating system (OS) since the launch of the OS early this year. Most of the new PC are now built/designed for Windows Vista, but what about old PC that we are still using right now?

Many people, including myself, are curious to know whether is our PC Window Vista capable. I bought a Dell laptop end of 2006 and it is labeled Windows Vista capable. Hence, I have a chance to upgrade to Windows Vista for a minimal cost (some systems are entitled to free upgrade though). So, I headed over to Dell’s Vista Upgrade website to check for the cost of upgrading. This is what I got :-
