wwdc by nicholaschan

It’s Apple WWDC10 right now, happening at San Fransisco, lots of Apple update for the fans out there. I woke up today morning and prompted a system update on my Mac. After the update, I found out that my Safari has upgraded to latest version 5.

Apple is so much supporting the HTML5 platform right now and it’s one of the new feature in Safari 5. Another feature that worth to check it out is the Safari Reader, it allows you to read online articles in a continuous, clutter-free view.

My 2 cents: Frankly, I seldom use Safari browser on my Mac. I only use Safari on the iPhone, I still prefer other browser like the Firefox because there’s more add-on which enhance my surfing experience. Do you use Safari?

How to Nudge Nonstop / Remove Nudge Delay on MSN, Live Messenger

Screen Captures1 by nicholaschan

Do you feel annoying when people press the Nudge button on MSN? Frustration, annoying, that’s what comes back in your mind. I am not teaching you to revenge, (a little bit), but I am teaching you how to do more, Nudge when they Nudge you one time. I believe many people out there already know the tricks, but just of mind of sharing with those who still have no idea. It’s only a patch install into your computer which tricks MSN/Live Messenger to think that you surpass the waiting time for another Nudge.

There’s 2 way. One which doesn’t work for me, not sure about you, but you can try it. This was the way I uses long time ago, but it’s not working for me on my Windows 7, no idea why.

(1) Go to Apatch website, and (2) download Apatch, the file is very small. (3) Unzipped,and start patching. There’s other feature in Apatch, so you can check it out yourself, look for one which says (4) Remove Nudge Delay, and that’s the one which allow you to Nudge many many times.

Way number 2 is using a Script for Messenger Plus. Some people have Messenger Plus addon with their MSN and some don’t, I recommend this addon as with this, you can again, addon more stuff to your MSN. After (1) installing Messenger Plus for your MSN, or if you already have it, go (3) look for a Script called NudgesToolsScript. (4) Install the Script and remember to (5) enable it.

You are ready to Nudge(s). =)

酷我音乐盒 Ku Wo Music Box, Free Chinese Music Streaming and Downloads

Chinese really makes good pirated stuff, pirated phone, pirated DVD, fake Blu-Rays. They love making copyright infringement stuff but somehow, everyone like it. At first, it was PPS online streaming player, which streams whatever movie and TV series.

Now I found another one called 酷我音乐盒 Ku Wo Music Box. It streams Chinese music and music of other languages too. You can either stream it or download it into your computer and listen it later. Rocks man.

You can find almost any music there. I use it to stream Chinese music mostly.

And it has live lyric synced with the music so you can singalong.

Another feature is streaming music video of a song, but then not all song has music video streaming, some only. It still very cool though. I like this program.

So sorry for English-educated or people who doesn’t read Chinese, same like PPS, the whole software is in Chinese. More Chinese software to be introduced soon. If looking from the legal side, this software is against the copyright law, but no one cares, yet. Use it wisely, for personal use and not for commercial. =)

Free Easy CD DVD Burner is Alternative to Nero

If you don’t want to pay for Nero, the famous burning program, you can try Free Easy CD DVD Burner which does the same thing. You can use it to burn data, copy disc, burn image file and more.

As for me, I use it to burn image file onto a disc because the built in burning software in Windows 7 doesn’t burn image file so what I found is this Free Easy CD DVD Burner.

Manage Your Data Usage on Android with NetSentry

I realized that my Nexus One uses a lot of data. Although I do have a data plan, but sadly, it’s not unlimited, I only have the 500mb data plan and unlimited data plan is rather expensive for Maxis.I turned of Gmail syncing and now it only auto sync Calendar and Contact.

I need to test use for another month to see whether 500mb is enough for me or not. The only thing I must not do to make sure that I won’t use a lot of data is Youtube, as you know Youtube sucks a lot of data.

Unlike my old Nokia N95, there’s no data counter on the Android. But after some searching in the Market, I found an application that can shows how much data you have used and auto resets every month. It’s called NetSentry, better than NetCounter IMO.

I set 500MB data limit, so I assume there will be a notification when reaching the limit. Hopefully, 500MB is enough for me or Maxis must revise their data plan rate.
