Breckin Meyer's Spoof




Actor and comedian Breckin Meyer has made a hilarious spoof of Perez Hilton's emotional video statement that Perez made after Wil.i.am's manager punched him out outside of a club in Toronto this past weekend.

Breckin shares his thoughts about the horrible things that Zac Efron did to him.

iPhone 3G S vs Jailbroken iPhone



If you didn’t yet know, Apple has revealed the iPhone 3G S, the S stands for Speed. It is now faster, cheaper and you finally get a better battery.

That said, should any of us who are using the jailbroken iPhone 2G or 3G ditch our old girlfriend for this new sexy model?

Improved Battery life:  Apple claims that the iPhone 3G S will get 9 hours of web surfing now when on WiFi — that’s up from 6 hours on the current iPhone. 3G talk time will be the same 5 hours now though. If you are frustrated with your current girlfriend who can only give you juice for 5 hours it’s not the end of the world. There is a much cheaper option available than to ditch her. Pay RM75 and get a Lenmar Portable Charger. It will give you another 5 hours of use while charging. That is if you don’t mind some dangling wires.

3 Megapixel Camera: Although it is great to finally have a 3Megapixel Camera with Video on the 3GS, it’s just 1Mega pixel! Although it has the added autofocus function, it’s not much of a difference in reality to a 2Megapixel camera. Besides, with editing app like SP Photo Fix on the iPhone, some of the picture quality can be improved with a few touches.

Video recording: The iPhone 3GS camera also supports video recording. However, those of us using Jailbroken iPhones have been recording videos on Cycorder for a long time!

Voice memos: Although the 3G S is equipped with voice memo app, jailbroken iPhones users can use AudioMemo Pro. Again nothing new.

Landscape keyboard: Again, another feature that already is present in Jailbroken iPhones.

Cut, copy, and paste messages. I hope this means we can forward SMS. However, if you have iRealSMS app in Cydia, your old girlfriend already can forward SMS. But if you need to cut and paste a lot, there is an app called ShapeWriter Pro that can do the same.

What your current girlfriend can’t do:
  • Spotlight search: As far as I know, nothing currently available in Cydia.
  • Voice Control: You can say things like “Call Bob” — if there were is more than one entry it will ask which one you want. You can also say “play Oasis” or any other movie/audio you want to play. You can also ask “What’s playing now” or say “Play more songs like this” and a genius playlist will be created.
  • Compass:  The digital Compass app shows your orientation, integration with Maps — if you double click the map  reorientates itself.
The announced price of USD199 for the 16G and USD 299 for 32G although is attractive, it comes with a 24 months contract. Now, that means the actual cost of ownership is a lot more. The lowest rate at AT&T is USD70 a month and that’s an additional USD 1,680. Total cost of ownership is around USD 1900 (RM 6,800) for 2 years.

With Maxis, the cost of ownership for a iPhone 3G is around RM3,000 without the plan (on Hotlink). So don’t get caught by the USD199 and USD299 gimmick, the new iPhones will cost around RM2,500-RM3,000 if Maxis slash their iPhone 3G down.

Those who just bought the iPhone3G from Maxis and are bound by their 1 year or 2 year plan like my Bro-in-law will now be crying foul! Hahaha....

Another word for Retrenchment discovered

Interesting News today:

30 March 2009: CIMB Group is offering its 36,000 staff extended unpaid leave under the "Staff Rejuvenation Programme" from next month. Group chief executive, Datuk Seri Nazir Razak, emphasised that the programme was not to lay off workers but to give them an option to take extended unpaid leave of between one and six months.

On whether the programme would reduce costs, he said: "We don't have a target but there will be cost savings. It's a positive move and a win-win situation. Under the current economic situation, it is fully understood that there is spare capacity."

It is understood that the workers who take up the group's offer will start their leave from 1 April, but this will not affect the bank's operations.



Definitely an April Fools joke on the employees of this bloated organization. Ever since CIMB forcefully acquired the profitable SBB, they have been steadily reducing the under-performing staff from BCB. Now, this round of so-called "Rejuvenation Programme" is probably aimed at making the subsequent redundancy programme look more legit.

Whatever it is, CIMB should not have been allowed to buy SBB and we all know why it was allowed.

It would be interesting to see what other banks will do - will they use the same word?
