Just wow!
Let the Japanese teach you how to get up, dressed, brush teeth, prepare & eat breakfast, bind your tie in just 5 minutes!
How to get up, eat breakfast and get ready for work in 5 mins!
Apple Safari is now on Windows! Currently it’s in public beta. Safari claims to have HTML, JavaScript and load performance better than Firefox, Internet Explorer and Opera. That’s like wow, I thought Opera is quick enough. I’ll give the public beta a try. It looks pretty cool too.
Get the Apple Safari 3 Public Beta here. It’s got everything a browser ought to have so I guess I have nothing to loose. 
I wish Internet Explorer and Firefox learn something about speed. I’m a little upset over Internet Explorer’s execution of JavaScript, I always feel slow, indeed it may be due to bad coding.
You can have a good representation of how each of the components in your website loads. It’s pretty cool and quite user-friendly too! //beconfused loads kinda slow I think.

Yong Liang passed me the SPEED album last Thursday. I didn’t ask for it, I am quite skeptical about SPEED doing a come back. SPEED is a popular Japanesegirl group that broken up so as to further their studies. [Rumor says there are disagreements in the group that cause it.]
I secretly owned one of the SPEED compilation albums called “Dear Friend 1″. It’s one of the two compilation albums released moments before their split. The second album was cleverly titled “Dear Friends 2″.
I really liked that album of mine, but I didn’t share with anybody. Nobody suspect I was listening to this type of music as I listen to English music mainly.
Enough of that, so Yong Liang offered to lend me the album. I’m quite surprised because no one offered to lend me their CDs before, lol. Then he told me it’s copy-controlled.
Great. Can’t copy. [He previously asked if I want him to burn a copy for me, I turned him down as I prefer it in WMA format, my portable CD player reads WMA.] I announced to him that I have my ways to get it ripped into my computer.
My method:
# Place the copy-controlled CD into scorching hot water.
# Put a teaspoon of pepper and 2 tablespoons of Tabasco sauce.
# Stir well and put some strawberries inside.
# Put everything in the oven and set the oven at 200 degree Celsius for 20 minutes.
# Remove it from oven and it’s ready to serve to the CD drive’s tray.
Anyway, I didn’t do my method, I just popped the disc in my CD drive and Windows Media Player (WMP) just popped up. I commanded WMP to search for the names of the tracks. The search is successful, WMP auto-fills in the names and even the composer too.
I clicked on the “Copy Music” button. I was in for a surprise.
Not that WMP explode [boom!] or something.. It copied! There was no message whatsoever, it just copied. So much for a copy-controlled CD.
The same thing happened for the Blue CD – Guilty. It supposed to be copy-controlled but I did a CD-to-CD Copy and the CD worked fine. The same thing happened to 5566’s new album, I copied and ripped. It allowed me to. [I am not into Blue or 5566, it's my brother.. I want more Shiina Ringo.]
So what’s this copy-protection about, can anyone tell me?
