On the polling day 8th March 2008, you will feel so irritate and hate those who are in the front queue just because you are standing in a wrong queue for voting channel. To avoid that situation you can check you voting channel in the SPR website here.

Probably you can print and bring along the print out, to ensure that your name are listed on the BN or opposition checking counters. If your name is not listed, then you bring the print out to police station and log a complaint to SPR. If that happen, may be your name was used as phantom voter.

Google Phone

Google Phone

An interesting topic probably, but don't get too excited about it. You will not find any mobile phones in the market with a Google logo stick or printed.

So, what is Google Phone anyway?
Google has a new team to focus on developing software for the mobile phones, which Google will ask mobile phones makers to use the new software for their products. This new software is based on Linux, and surely it is open. The openness will allows anyone to create or contribute more new features to make the mobile phones more and more interesting to use.

The initiative is lead by somebody who are an architect/engineer who has proved adept at designing highly integrated hardware and software. He is Mr Rubin, which previously worked for Apple, and is now putting his team together to make the so called Google Phone to debut in market in 2008.

Google's move to enter the mobile/wireless industry will be a challenge for Microsoft, as buyers will wait from buying smart phone with Microsoft Windows Mobile acts as the operating system, or probably slow the iPhone selling. Let's see how this Google Phone will eat Microsoft and others in the next 12 months times. And hopefully the mobile phones' price will drop significantly as the price can be subsidized by advertisers (via Google).

Google phone will appear in coming Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. Google has not booth in the expo, but managed to shadow the entire events.

Parlimen Dibubar

Parlimen Malaysia dibubarkan hari ini 13hb Februari 2008 oleh Perdana Menteri, Pak Lah sekitar tengahari dan disiarkan secara langsung oleh RTM1 (TV1). Dengan itu parlimen ke-11 dibubarkan 15 bulan lebih awal dari sepatutnya. Mandat parlimen ke-11 berakhir pada 16 Mei 2009.

Pak Lah memang diketahui umum amat meminati angka 13, mungkin angka keramat baginya.

Mengikut perlembagaan, tempoh 60 hari diperuntukkan untuk melaksanakan pilihanraya baru. Mungkin Pak Lah akan sekali lagi menggunakan angka 13 untuk tarik keramat hari pilihanraya ke 12 iaitu pada 13 Mac 2008.

Perlu diingat bahawa cuti persekolahan penggal pertama bermula pada 8 Mac 2008 hingga 16 Mac 2008. Jadi tarikh 13 Mac 2008 adalah tidak mustahil dijadikan tarikh pilihanraya Malaysia ke 12.
