In Nancy, without Internet..

I saw the Canon IXUS 210 today at FNAC, and I came to one conclusion;

i want it badly.

It costs 250euros which equals to RM1000 which is reasonable for a new branded compact digital camera. I only have two questions for this mesmerizable gadget; Is it the latest from Canon? Can it do the smart panoramic view picture like Sony’s? I need the internet to gain access to such data. Currently, I’m in Nancy, staying with my old friend, Baim for the weekend (and his what-look-like-a-store place doesn’t have such luxury). I don’t really know the exact reason why I’m here but I have two exams next week, which is Basic on Tuesday and Achat on Wednesday and I haven’t studied a sh*t. I really need to get my arse to start working… Tomorrow, me Adely Kassim going to spend the whole day studying Basic and Achat! FIGHTING!!! =)

Raja Petra on his life

"Even if I never wake up from sleep tomorrow there are no regrets because I have lived a full life.
And if I do wake up then I have to ponder as to why I am still around and what I must do with the balance of my life."

"How long we live is not important. Whether it is a short or long life is not crucial. It is what you do in that short time you spend on earth is what matters."


"You are always in my heart and I hope I too will always be in yours long after I am gone and have become dust buried in the earth."

no class this mornink

yesterday, i was reminded y i took logistics.
i went to the R&D sector and gosh, i cant find any other place i dont wanna be at..
they still have those cubique face centrique models, tons of notes to write, understanding stuff that we dont see with naked eyes..

In logistics, its just awesome.
we learn about the evolution of the industrial world, management skill, how to increase the company's productivity..
Awesome stuff..
stuff we can see and improve and we can see the result. Sure R&D too, but its just in a different way.. the way that make my brain go cold.

R&D is more about theoretical, a lot of writing; its like going back to school.
i cant do tht anymore.
R&D is important and thank God we have students who's doing it.. haha

Big Fat Virus

Out of the blue, my pc got molested by a notorious virus.
It came, it saw, it concurred my pc.
What it did?
Just one clever thing; prevent any program from running.
By doing this, it shuts down my anti-virus and i cant restart it. It also prevents me to manually stop it with Ctrl-Alt-Delete. In other words, there's nothing we can do to touch it. Its quite invincible.
Any prog i want to run, a message appeared saying it's infected.
My windows keep telling me that i should turn on my anti-virus, but not using the antivirus i already have.. An unknown antivirus prog is now acting as if it's my regular antivirus but ofcourse after it detects all the viruses in my pc, it recommends me to buy the real thing. This occasion keeps occurring and there's nothing i can do.
My internet was going wild, advertising some websites, repeatedly..

i will put hear the method tht i use to solve this problem.
i choose to write this one down in my blog because my friend recommended me to reformat my pc. So i thought, what if somebody else was in my shoe and took his friend's advice?
I figured this entry could help somebody out there..
Reformat is a big word, most people tend to avoid from having to go through all the hard work of reformatting..
Here what i did:

  1. First of all pull out your internet cable or turn off your wifi signal. Let those stupid fool loose you...
  2. Go to safe mode (if u dont know how to do this, just plug off ur pc while it's still running and restart, it will give u the option to go to safe mode)
  3. Run your antivirus scan. Meanwhile, follow these steps below:
  4. Type msconfig in your start menu. Click Enter. (or run for windows XP)
  5. Go to 'startup' tab.
  6. Search for any weird program registered in the list. What i mean by weird? Names u never heard of, u never recalled ever installing it, usually it is stated unknown in the manufacturer (for windows 7) section. example, mine it has 'YXE7DXCQ37' for its name. u can also see in the command section to consider if it is a useful program.. A virus from the internet usually will reside in 'Appdata\Local\Temp' (to see in its command)
  7. Uncheck it. (u can also use this method to throw away any unnecessary program lagging your pc when u start up)
  8. Click apply.
  9. Note down the address in its command. Our target is to go to the place where the virus is residing and delete all of its programs manually.
  10. Go to the folder mentioned in the address, while viewing in details, delete any file type executable program created the day u got that horrific virus. It makes u wonder where these programs came from when on that day, u didnt install anything.. Delete those losers! (Shift-delete!) Infact, delete any file u find weird created on that tragic date and at that tragic time. Just to be safe..
  11. After the virus scan (Usually they wont find anything..) try restart in normal mode.
Thts it, its very simple. With some basic knowledge and logical thinking, we can safe our pc from the infamous reformat.

bubbye..

25/9

i got hit by this obnoxious team of viruses again. Seriously out of the blue, i only have the normal websites tab on my Modzilla. Probably its bcoz of this new place...
Symptoms:
-Windows asking my permission to let some program run keep popping up.
-An unknown antivirus suddenly appear (just like before) telling me i have tons of viruses in my pc.

I didnt let any of those programs to run and since this time Ctrl-Alt-Delete works,
i get to see which programs want to ruin my lovely day without having to go to safemode.
As i said before, most viruses from the internet will reside in
Appdata\Local\Temp, so i went there, tried to delete everything that came today. Some refuses to be deleted, but u just have to stop their processes through the system manager.
Some badass program can easily be recognize, some is a bit tricky like the iexplorer.exe..
But u can see their name in the Temp folder so no matter how useful they sound like, u just delete after stopping their processes. Or right click the suspicious program u have in your system manager list, and see its directory.
Example this guy came with the name winlogon:



Here's what u have:
- it is run not by the system, but by me.
- its description is the repetition of its name
- its directory is in the Temp folder.

What to do?:
- kick the stop processes button and shift-delete the uninvited App.

Result:
- A lovely Saturday morning (or any day depends on what day u're on..)

so far.. damn.

It’s been awhile since this guy wrote anything.
My grammar has become soo bad... I’m sorry for that...
I want to clarify something here, even though I know there’s 99.9% probability there won’t be anybody reading this entry other than myself…
There’s a photo of me wearing UMNO shirt at an UMNO assembly in facebook. I want to enlighten you guys that that doesn’t mean I’m an UMNO supporter. I was there to deepen my knowledge on their activities. I want to know what’s going on at an UMNO assembly and thanks to some of my good friends in Penang; I was given the opportunity to do so. It was a very profitable to me in terms of getting to know better of the UMNO in Penang. That was all, it was an opportunity to widen my experience and I took it. But it doesn’t mean I’m now an UMNO boy.
Second, I want to be a good English writer but most of the times I just read. I rarely write. That’s why my grammar is getting worst. I know that my knowledge is very low, and I sometimes forget the facts that I’ve read. My idols, they’re damn good, they’re able to memorize tons of dates, billions of facts, infinite incidence and so on... They’re like superhuman like Angelina Jolie in her film “Salt”.

Cup-and-ball game with my niece and nephew

It’s Oman Air, Not Omar Air.

When I was in Paris, a few hours before boarding Omar, I mean Oman Air, I had so many doubts. I started to think why I even bought the tickets. What is Oman Air? I will spend 15hours above ground and 14 of them are inside the infamous cheap airplane. There will be children running around, 1 small screen at the front for everybody in the economy class. I would be suffering the whole time! Why did I buy those tickets? Why was I too tight on spending my budgets? Gosh!!
I arrived at the airport with 45minutes behind my schedule and with two luggages; I went straight to terminal 2A. I saw the name “Oman Air” at the nearest two counters next to some counters with tons of people in the line. “Not so many people in Oman Air.. Small company...” I thought to myself. I also noticed they put blue carpet in their line, “They are really desperate to attract clients…” I said with a grin. As I was getting nearer, I saw the word “1st class” on the screen, “Ups, wrong line” so I went to the counter next to it, this time, it was “Business class” attached at the front. I uttered “Ups, wrong again” with a silly giggle, the woman at the counter heard me and she point to the side. The counters with tons of people at the front are also Oman Air... That’s the Economy Class…
At the line there are a lot of Indians and a couple of French (they seem to stand out from the rest of the heard...) I started to think if the country this airline belongs to is an Indian country… With these people in the line, I can already foresee my future...
I went straight for the tax free zone to buy some chocolates for my family. I gave my passport at the only passport checker counter available and the officer took it slackenly before continuing to play with his iphone. I then passed the one and only security check point where I took a photo of the officer whose duty is to monitor what’s inside people’s luggage and he was also enjoying a FIFA match game through his iphone:

its blurry, well, i took it while acting as if im on the phone..


What’s inside the airplane is totally unexpected, here’s some photo to do the talking:


a usb connector and a 3mm jack
Just like MAS
But they have keyboard with joystick at the back!
They have Economy class Menu!
And if u get lucky, u can have a 1st class comfort with ur economy class ticket
Internet on board, the first..
View of Oman
They use foreign stewardess (like Thailand) and they wear that hat when we've landed in Muscat





















Before boarding Oman Air, I was not even sure whether it’s Omar or Oman Air, or the country I’ll be visiting for the transit. When people asked me, I just said, it’s Omar on Oman Air and the transit is somewhere in the Arab countries. I was that naïve.
How ignorant I was, Oman is the name of its country and Muscat (not Moscow) is where my transit is, which the capital city of Oman is. I learned a lot, well that’s because I didn’t know much before..
The heat in Muscat was unbearable. The minute I went out, I thought I was next to a machine but even when im down on the ground heading towards the bus, the heat was still there. It was not the sun, no, not like in Msia where the sun tells u it’s hot or not, in Muscat, the condition is the same as we’re in a microwave; it’s the air that’s heating us up.
Inside the airport, I thought I wouldn’t meet any Msian, how wrong I was as I ended up with groups of Msian, also waiting for the same airplane after their Umrah. I get to talk with some folks and share our stories.
I continue my journey back to Msia in the lovely plane of Oman Air, sitting next to Anand, a UK student whom I found to be interesting and easy-going.
In KLIA, I didn’t waste my time to get my first MILO ICE from their KFC before boarding back to Penang. I met another interesting person who told me that anyone can do a research, no need for a good educational background to give a presentation in an international forum.
I landed in Penang at about 1.25am.

The conclusion of my trip is, i saved about RM1000 compared to MAS with a longer trip but not a less comfortable one. i hope this article opens ur mind towards Oman Air.

brinner

It was 11.10pm when i called my friend.


After asking him whether or not he still wants to do his laundry at my place,
he replied in a flabbergasted manner, "U're still at the university??"

"Well, i told u i'll call u once im ready to go back, since i havent called u, it means im still at the university"

Yeah, i have finished all of my exms, come to think of it, i could say that my forth year has finished.. but i'm still stuck, doing late night work at the university. Thanks to the infamous industrial project of course..

i think when i've finished, i'll probably put a few good image here,
juz to show how this stupid-ridiculously-time-consuming tricycle looks like..

About today...
Well, today's not so good,
i missed my mornink lecture bcoz i failed to wake up.
i slept at 5.30am, trying to finish something for the project.
i thought 1 hour of sleep should be enough, but i guess i miscalculated..
i wonder what the lecturer thought about me.
My friends told me he shook his head in despair after i didnt reply to his lovely call in the lecture hall.
Him and me, we have a connection..
even he, doesnt know why,
it started with me, missing one of his lecture, but its the lecture where, for the first time, he noted the student's presence.
He never noted student's presence before or afterwards, until today that is..

Yeah, we have some special connection..
even he said that to me.
I was angry with him for worsening my life for just 1 time absent,
and he..
Well, he seems to get himself closer to students who doesnt like him..

Back to the telephone conversation..

After i spoke to my friend and decided its best that he does his laundry tomorrow, i took off into the darkness outside for a 30-min walk home.

Accompanying me was the rain and continuous song of Lady Gaga's Tik Tok from my mobile phone.

At about 12pm, i found myself at the front door of my place.
i made a call and watched wats the head line on theSun. - Some Najib's plan to turn Msia into a developed country.. - Not interested.
Took my bath,
felt empty in stomach,
remembered that i haven't had my dinner,
took out my kokocrunch,
and m now finishing it while writing this blog.
Tmrw, again, to the university to finish the "lovely" project.

Bitdefender

After 2 years of using Bitdefender for my laptop,

i have 1 thing to say,
DONT USE IT.
It's lagging my laptop with its vsserv.exe

for some occasion, i just ended the program to make my laptop runs faster.
i went to its forum, and to my despair, i was not alone.
Their technical support urge you to upgrade to their 2010 version (wow, what a surprise..)
Alas, upgrading to its 2010 version doesnt solve the problem.

This antivirus program is just too heavy,
and its not that effective too, i still got viruses that i have to manually delete.

Seeing the existence of countless antivirus out there, i advice u to use that money on a much lighter one. Maybe AVS should do it

Does a colonized country always remain weak?

When Msians r being unlawfully captured by Israel, all Msia could do is just lamenting, making demands (like Israel care about it), and asking help from the international community.
They're tryin to act strong, but they know they cant really do anything about it..

Then spend millions for a submarine to make the people feel 'safer' being born as a Msian..

What a lame country.. we're deadly weak!

We need a strong leader!

We keep getting bullied and bullied and bullied, from the beginning till now.
Oh ya.. Msia is a small country.. thts y...
Well the Israelist didnt even HAVE a country before!

All we need is a calibre, strong leader to tell them that they need to show some respect!

our leaders should have a vision to make this country an independent country, more resourceful than a taker,

Its time to be a strong country,
thts the key for the citizen to feel proud of their own country,
they need to feel proud of their country,
i need to feel proud of my country..

FIGHT!!

i have to fight,
i have to fight.

i know i work like a sinus graph,
sometimes i get really weak,
sometimes, i can go full steam ahead,
almost everybody is like tht,
to keep that amplitude high,
i have to really fight,
but one cannot push oneself too much or one will fall hard on his back
and cant get up anymore..
so the rule is,
go slow and steady,
enjoy the moment.
and to do that, u need your spirit,
that constant fighting spirit.
How can we try to keep it constant?
we have to always remind ourselves,
and this is what it's all about,
a reminder,
to me..

We need to change how the system works.

Will we always be saving the banks in the expense of the people?

Tin kosong sudah mulai sedar

Tin kosong tu ckp;

"Tolonglah.. Janganlah pijak aku lagi.. Tolong..."

Tetap, dia semakin ditindas, dan ditindas..

Dia nak berputus asa,
dia harap dia dapat berputus asa..

Dia tiada apa didalamnya.
Sangat kosong..

Biarlah dia dipijak berkali2..

Kadang2 tin kosong brtanya, tidak kah dia layak untuk diangkat dan dicuci?
Supaya boleh diguna semula dan diisi kandungannya.

Tetapi mungkin dia tidak layak, sbb itu keadaannya masih belum berubah..

Scratch DVD

i managed to read from a finalized or unfinalized scratched mini DVD.

Why i say its finalized or unfinalized?
because i myself am not sure of its state.
I dun have any option, to finalize or unfinalize the DVD using its dvd camcorder.
but i think it has never been finalized..

Here's the story, i recorded an event using a dvd camcorder which had warned me about an error on the disk which i've ignored because of my ignorance..
When i wanted to finalize the dvd in order to be able to play it on my pc, the camcorder didnt gave me that possibility.
It was apparent that the dvd got a big nasty lightning-resemblance scratch on it.
After days of research through the internet and went to electrical shops, i finally found a method to solve this problem and i think i should spread it out incase other people fell in the same shithole i was in and u guys dont have to spend hours trying this and that to get back those lovely memory out of the freaking DVD just like i did.

First of all, the electrical shops didnt help..
It all came down to the internet research.

i recommend u humble people to visit this link first:
http://www.dvdrepairtips.com/unfinalized-dvds.html

If none of the steps given helped u, (as was in my case),
here's what u gotta do:

Software needed:
1. Nero (any version would do)
2. Iso Buster (u need to have the full version)

2 easy steps to follow:
1. One of the steps in the link given above demands u to copy the entire DVD on another new DVD using Nero, do that if u havent.
Example for Nero 9:

Select the "Rip and Burn" tab then select "Copy Disc" and finally "Copy Entire DVD."
Older versions can do the same thing except the tabs are a bit different.

2. Get your .VOB files with IsoBuster using the NEW DVD. (the one u've copied all the data into)
Here's the methode: (taken from the link)

1. Start Isobuster then load the disc.
2. When Isobuster has detected the files on the disc run the Find Missing Files and Folders option under the File menu.
3. You will now have an entry on the left hand column of Files and folders found by their signature.
4. Select that, then go to File, Files found via their signature then Extract files found via their signature. Choose a location and let it run.

It is that simple, only 2 steps.. The problem with the link above is that, on their last method, they didnt tell you to use a copied DVD with IsoBuster..
Oh well, it took me days with try and error to get this 2 simple steps..

Dreamed of my fav place

i dreamed i was visiting a village somewhere in Msia and was enjoying its beach. There was also a stall behind me that sells traditional hot Msian food. "Yummy", my stomach said..
It was a great view with fishermen boats came and were docking right infront of me.
It was a good dream.. And makes me think too, of how much i long to be there.

everything seems too heavy and i end up doing nothing.
Am i doing the right thing?
Ofcourse not.
ofcourse not.

i wanna go back to Msia.
im a different man over there.

i like myself more when im in Malaysia rather than here.
i became a person, so different.
A person, with motivation in his life.
Not that im not motivated here,
its just tht, things seem much harder.
Doing just about anything beneficial, seem like, 10 times harder.

Gotta keep going

gibberish

An empty can,
on the shelf,
facing the sunlight.
It is so rusty,
yet it's still remain on the shelf.
Sumtimes it get filled,
but because of the holes,
it got empty again after that.

This is a worthless can,
on a gud shelf.
Does not thank for where it is,
nor the fact of it able to face the window, looking at the blue sky and the shining bright sun.

It threw away what was given.

Poor empty can.
It does not realize what it's owner has done to give it a lot of opportunities.

The can has one big hole.
It tried to cover it, but ends miserably.

It tried and tried, but the hole is still there.
Who can help this empty can?
no one..

there is still time, it told itself,
but days after days, the hole still remains there,
unrepaired..

it is a weak can.
a very weak can,
only sometimes it becomes strong and show how a can like it deserve to be on the shelf.

It needs to remember who put it there.
So that it can be thankful,
and find the strength to repair the hole that's destroying itself.

Humans have the same level of understanding.

Iran to shut down Google e-mail service: WSJ

SAN FRANCISCO (Feb 11):
The Iranian government said it will permanently suspend Google Inc's e-mail service in the country, the Wall Street Journal reported on its website on Wednesday.

The report comes as Iran braces for new opposition protests on Thursday during rallies marking the 1979 Islamic revolution. Protesters made use of modern networking tools such as Twitter and Gmail instant messaging last June after a disputed election plunged Iran into crisis.

Google is already at loggerheads with China's government after it threatened to withdraw from the country last month over claims of online attacks and issues over censorship.

Iran's telecommunications agency announced the suspension and said a national e-mail service for Iranian citizens would soon be rolled out, the Wall Street Journal reported.

The Journal said it was not yet clear what effect the move has had on Google's Gmail service in Iran.

There was no immediate comment from Teheran, where it was after midnight when the news broke. Opposition leaders have called on supporters to take to the streets on Thursday, raising the risk of renewed violence.

Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The US State Department could not confirm the report, but said any efforts to keep information from Iranians would fail.

"While information technologies are enabling people around the world to communicate ... like never before, the Iranian government seems determined to deny its citizens access to information, the ability to express themselves freely, network and share ideas," State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said.

The ideal of a united Malaysia is under strain

Queensland University political scientist David Martin Jones, currently working in Malaysia, says: “There is now an interesting collection of scandals dating from the first Anwar case in 1998 that coincides with the fragmentation of Umno-controlled politics.”

The Australian

What’s happening with Malaysia? The country has long been viewed in Australia as not only an especially friendly Southeast Asian neighbour — the “recalcitrant” Mahathir Mohammad excepted, though he’s been retired six years — but also a model of middle-class success and tolerance in that region.

Today, however, the country is having a hard time holding things together, in the face of religious and ethnic divides, political battles, and economic challenges.

Michael Danby, who chairs Australia’s foreign affairs subcommittee, told parliament last Tuesday night that “fellow democrats around Asia are flabbergasted at events unfolding in Kuala Lumpur.”

He was referring to the second trial of opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim for sodomy.

“For the second time,” Danby said, “the Malaysian legal system is being manipulated by supporters of the incumbent government to drive Malaysia’s best-known leader, Anwar Ibrahim, out of national politics.

“For the second time, documents are being forged, witnesses are being coerced, and evidence is being fabricated. This trial, like the first trial, is a disgrace to Malaysia, a country that aspires to democratic norms.”

Danby said it was long past time that Malaysia repealed these British colonial laws, which could not then be used for such political purposes.

“In the second place, everyone in Malaysia, and everyone in the international legal community, knows that Anwar is innocent of these charges.”

The underlying problem is that Anwar, leader of the People’s Justice Party, is the first charismatic Malay opposition politician with sufficient appeal for Malay voters to pose a real threat to Umno’s 52-year hold on power.

This episode indicates that it’s also long past time Umno took a spell in opposition, as Japan’s Liberal Democratic Party is doing.

Declared a middle-income country by the World Bank several years ago, Malaysia has grown accustomed to patronising its giant neighbour Indonesia — even though it still rankles that Malaysia itself continues to be patronised by its tiny neighbour Singapore.

Now, though, it is Indonesia — the raucous democracy with a rapidly acquired capacity to change leaders and governments peaceably, the world’s largest Muslim country renowned for its moderation and pluralism — that is receiving international praise, with US President Barack Obama flying across the world to visit (with a side-trip to Australia).

In 2008, last year and — as estimated by IMA Asia — this year, Malaysia’s economic growth figures are 4.6 per cent, -2.8 per cent, and 4 per cent. Indonesia’s are 6.1 per cent, 4.5 per cent and 5.6 per cent.

Since taking office last April, Prime Minister Najib Razak has started to dismantle the 40-year-old New Economic Policy, Sydney-based business consulting firm IMA notes.

It says: “While the NEP did little for ordinary Malays, its supposed beneficiaries, it enriched a handful of businessmen and contributed to corruption in Umno.”

Najib also has to tackle the over-reliance on oil money — for more than 40 per cent of government revenues — while just 2.3 million of the 28 million population pay income tax. And he needs to open more sectors of the economy to foreign investors.

That’s hard to do, while at the same time grappling with the plethora of problems resulting from Malaysia’s restrictive religious laws, reflecting Islam’s role as the state religion.

Queensland University political scientist David Martin Jones, currently working in Malaysia, says: “There is now an interesting collection of scandals dating from the first Anwar case in 1998 that coincides with the fragmentation of Umno-controlled politics.”

One such scandal comprised the tragic case of Lina Joy, aged 45, who was born into a Muslim family but began attending a church in 1990 and was baptised in 1998, and naturally wished to marry her Christian fiance. But marriage between Muslim women and non-Muslim men is forbidden under Malaysian law, and after years of battling the authorities in the courts, in 2007 she was refused permission to convert formally.

This year, Malaysia has seen its simmering religious and racial conflicts boil over after a ruling of the High Court that the Malay language pages of the Catholic Church’s weekly newspaper, the Herald, could use the term “Allah” as a translation for “God”.

Malaysian Christians say they have used “Allah” for God for centuries.

The government is appealing the decision. But in the meantime, it has triggered violent protests from Muslim Malays who comprise 60 per cent of the population, and who claim exclusive rights over the Arabic word “Allah”. Christians comprise just 9 per cent of Malaysians.

Eleven churches, a Sikh temple and two Muslim prayer rooms have been attacked so far, as a result of the row, and the severed heads of three wild boars — considered unclean by Muslims — with their mouths stuffed with bank notes, in plastic bags, were found outside two mosques.

The High Court last April sentenced to death two policemen who were assigned to the office of Najib Razak, the then deputy prime minister and defence minister. They were found guilty of murdering a Mongolian woman who had had a relationship with Abdul Razak Baginda, a defence analyst for a think tank, and had translated for him on a deal to buy submarines from France.

Abdul Razak, arrested for abetting the murder, was acquitted. But the motives for the policemen to have killed Atlantuyaa — by explosives — remain murky.

Martin Jones says: “Malay political scandals and the cynicism they engender, together with the bitter debate over the ‘Allah affair’, are seriously fragmenting the Malay community, whilst minority communities are increasingly rejecting the Umno model of Satu Malaysia (1 Malaysia). I suspect this portends some trouble ahead for the Malay political process.”

Razak has launched a multimedia 1 Malaysia campaign to promote the virtues of “perseverance, a culture of excellence, acceptance, loyalty, education, humility, integrity, and meritocracy.”

This looks to be a hurdle too high for a political establishment whose credibility is too low, for an economy that for two years has suffered net outflows of foreign investment, and for a culture suffering some confusion.

Jones points out: “It’s somewhat ironic that an ostensibly puritanical political culture that won’t contemplate a Beyonce concert seems to lap up details of Anwar’s alleged penetration of his aide.”

NEXUS ONE... GOogle phone..

lepas tgk vid2 psl Nexus one yg aku jmpa di internet, trus sudah nk beli, tp kat website die tulis "Not available in your country". WTF??!!

"The Nexus One is initially available only in four regions - the U.S., U.K., Singapore, and Hong Kong. No word yet of how soon other countries will get the slim and powerful Android phone."

i heard it'll be in France in the 1st quarter this year.
