Just within a week Google added new Voice & Video chat feature in Gmail, today you’ll see a new Google Voice Search feature for iPhone. However, this is the first time I see Google is catching with Microsoft (Tellme Service) and Yahoo (oneSearch with Voice) in Voice Searching for mobile phones.

Google Supports Voice Search For iPhone

Well, of course I’m not talking about those smuggled iPhone, ok!

Officially, Singapore started selling iPhone since 22^th August, now Thailand is going sell original 3G iPhone in coming months!

True Move, Thailand’s third-largest mobile phone firm, announced yesterday that they had signed a deal with Apple Inc. to sell the 3G iPhone in Thailand.

I think we’ll only get to see 3G iPhone here after iPhone 2.0 is out!

Just 1 day after Intel announced reducing their fourth-quarter revenue estimate by about $1 billion, AMD today launched its first 45-nanometer Opteron server processor, code named Shanghai.

This long-awaited 45nm Quad-Core AMD Opteron came almost a year late since Intel launched their server processor using 45nm semiconductor fabrication process. Anyway, at least now AMD is on par with Intel.

Performance enhancement of the new processors compared to previous generations of AMD Opteron processors are as the following :-

• 35% increase in power efficiency (consume 75 watts of power)
• 30% greater performance
• 3x L3 cache (now 6MB!)
• Higher clock speed. (2.3 GHz – 2.7 GHz)

As expected, the price of Shanghai also won’t come cheap, they will be selling in price range US$377 – US$989 for the 2000 series and US$1,165 – US$2,149 for the faster 8000 series.

On an unrelated note, the current on-going economy crisis has so far hit the 2 computer chip manufacturer really hard, driving Intel’s stock price to 12-year low while AMD’s is heading 18-year low! Is it time to grab some bargain? Hehe…

The speed of Google rolling out a new product or a new version of existing product is just unimaginable. They really put up a lot of effort by keeping their promise to “Release Early, Release Often” in application development.

Yes, as the title of this post says, GMail now allows you to make phone calls over the Internet or to speak in person via video directly from your Gmail account! All you need is a computer, a broadband internet connection, a GMail account and, for video calls, a web camera.

This new feature is not enabled by default and you need to install Gmail voice and video
chat plugin developed by Google, which also means it’s not a 3rd party plugin. Just follow the following steps to activate this awesome feature and start using it :-

GMail Now With Voice And Video Chat!

I think I’ve found the answer to my previous post : When Will Malaysian Make History?

What we need is HOPE, then we’ll make the change step by step.

YES, WE CAN!

Well, Barack Obama was elected US’s first black president on Tuesday night. Congratulation!

Don’t forget this 44th US president is a son of a black father from Kenya, who I think surely was an immigrant to the US back then. Now the US people have overcame racial barriers in electing their president, I’m wondering when will this happen to Malaysia too.

Will Malaysian make the same history one day? I hope so…
