I’m sure all of you have seen the iPad with 9.7-inch LED-backlit glossy widescreen Multi-Touch display with IPS technology… and of course with its super sensitive accelerometer… errr… the thing that sense the position of the iPad… something like the gyroscope in the segway

But that’s not really cool… most of the smartphone has that too nowadays… the coolest thing is not even close to the Sony PS3′s Move… much far away from the Nintendo Wii… the coolest thing today is the Microsoft Xbox 360′s Kinect!!!

Kinect is so cool compared to Sony’s Move coz you don’t have to hold or wear any sensors… you just stand in front of the screen and do whatever action you need to do to play your games… or dance… or run… or jump… or do aerobic… or kung-fu… this kinect is so cool… it can be used to do exercise… it can be the best fat burner for the potato couch… parents don’t have to shout at their obese kid to stop watching tv or playing the game console… they can burn fats with this…

This week was a very hectic week… have to chase everything… I only left with a day tomorrow before I go for a long break… I have to complete loads of letters… documents… documentations… network designs…

And the worst part, all the big shots and important staff in the office are not around for the past two days… they are having conference and seminar… two events at two locations for two days… and I really need to complete my work… I need their signatures… comments… dang I just hope they all come back tomorrow and don’t take leave… else I will not enjoy my trip… Only one more day tomorrow for me to settle all my work before I fly on Saturday… So tonight, I don’t want to stress out… I want to forget about these for a while… I just want to relax… don’t want to think about all these… I’m going to the gym… errr nope… I went last night… so tonight I just want to play games… wish I have Sony PS3 or Xbox 360 to play games on the big LCD TV… My nephews also have been pestering me to buy them a Sony PSP… I myself also need one PSP…

I’m going home now… need to buy something for my aquarium… the thingy to suck out water… donno what is the name… siphon  I think… I have not change my aquarium water for more than a month… lucky the water filter is good…

o my gawwddd… I can’t believe it… buying a game console is as good as buying a car… 3 years warranty!!!

Microsoft or Redmond got fade up with unacceptable hardware failures in its new generation game console Xbox 360 has decided to extend the warranty to EVERYONE… old and new box… cool… Redmond says:

“As of today, all Xbox 360 consoles are covered by an enhanced warranty program to address specifically the general hardware failures indicated by the three flashing red lights on the console. This applies to new and previously-sold consoles. While we will still have a general one year console warranty (two years in some countries), we are announcing today a three-year warranty that covers any console that displays a three flashing red lights error message. If a customer has an issue indicated by the three flashing red lights, Microsoft will repair the console free of charge-including shipping-for three years from the console’s purchase date.”

3 flashing red lights?… is there a “backdoor” for that… say, if I have 2 flashing red lights, can I make it 3 flashing red lights instead…LOL…

Redmond will take a pretax charge of more than $1 billion to repair defects in its next- generation game machine…. wow… estimate of USD$1 billion for repairing alone? pretax?… damm… how much are they making for the consoles anyway huh…???

And, sure there gonna be another Xbox 360 & PC Halo competitions in this coming TechEd SEA 2007!!!… wanna collect some Microsoft T-Shirts
