Get to know that Apple release Safari 4 browser for public beta from Wing Loon blog and I get hooked on the Top Sites features that look like Aero in Vista. So I grab a copy from here and the file size is about 26 MB, after I install so I going to test it and test on few sites that I used to go on daily basis. I find the loading speed is really fast and does not encounter any issue on any web sites that require java or activeX but there I do found some of the limitation as below

I started to try out the Windows Live Writer as I read on an article about it and it seem to be a very handy tools to use for updating blog with having to use notepad since this software can give you the actual preview of your blog along with all the images you put up.

You also have an option to save it as draft if you do not have any Internet connection at that time for you to upload when you get online.All the features is the same like you do it online and if you have not use this tool yet better grab it here

Last weekend went to AV Future link to sent my main board and the power strip for warranty. They change the power strip on the spot and I’m thinking to get Belkin router too so next time when lightning strike again I don’t have to get another router again as they replace 1 to 1 swap.

So I drove to lowyat after that and get the Belkin G+ MIMO with wireless modem router. I bought it from Viewnet around the Leo’s Cafe there and they giving out RM 5 voucher to dine at Leo’s Cafe if you purchase item from that section area as is it very new section.

I find this modem router are able to give a very good performance when browsing, as previously i was using Zyxel P-661HW was terribly slow now i started to love Belkin.

I was testing out this software by 2X that enable you to publish individual application seamlessly without user having to be at office. User are able to access to application via web access and connect back to your office system running your accounting software or your favourite apps. It also able to load balance your terminal server farm based on the connection, memory and cpu usage.

It works like citrix but its cheaper then cixtrix, now it comes with 5 license free and you can try it out for your self. The installation is pretty straight forward and you barely need the manual to get this software run.

Here is the list of the features:-

Today I went to Acronis Seminar as they are launching the new product Acronis Recovery for Microsoft Exchange with my colleague Lun. There is not much crowd as this is for resellers and the presenter was giving an impressive talk.

Arconis really have put a lot of effort to create such a great software that can save us a lot of time in doing DR and it able to help on the Exchange migration or upgrade version. It can backup exchange database or mailboxes and restoring can be done by mailboxes, databases and emails.

The GUI are really simple to use, just need to do few click and it works like champ. I certainly would recommend to customer if they are using Exchange and Acronis True Image that can restore back Windows Server in just 40 second from bare-metal.

Can you imagine that you can restore your Active Directory server in just 40 second back to your original state where it before it crash and you are able to remote restore the crash servers. Another beauty of the True Image that you are able to change hardware without transfering your data and resetup your preferences desktop setting, as True Image are able to migrate over to new hardware without reinstall your windows. This is another great area from Acronis.

At the end of the seminar there were a lucky draw, giving out 3 copies of Acronis True Image and 1 copies of Acronis Disk Director Suite 10. I was lucky enough for today and I get myself the grand price that is 1 copies of True Image and the Disk Director Suite 10.

Thanks to Acronis APAC and J.O.S (Jardine One Solutions) on the event and gifts.

Prepare to step aside Segway, you had your chance to revolutionize personal transportation. Introducing the Toyota Winglet. Still under development, Winglet’s body has a 10.4 x 18-inch footprint and stands 1.5-, 2.2-, or 3.7-feet tall (depending upon the S, M, or L model chosen) and features an electric motor capable of a max 6km/h cruising speed for up to 10km a jaunt (only 5km for the S model). Like the Segway, the user controls the Winglet by shifting his weight to move the transporter forward and back or to make tight turns. Winglet will begin consumer testing at the Central Japan International Airport near Nagoya and Laguna Gamagori resort this Autumn with further testing in more crowded environments planned for 2009. It’s planned to hit a production stride in 2010.
