Jail-breaking your iPod Touch
Been having my iPod Touch for close a month now...nice and sleek device...definitely a head-turner...anyway, as usual, Apple has "locked" it thus not allowing any form of external applications to run on it...
this has become a norm for Apple with their iPods and iPhones...but fret no more! now you can "jail-break" your iPod Touch and install as many apps you want in ur iPod touch...including those on iPhones...
instructions to the fastest and easiest jailbreak available for the iPod Touch:
1. Navigate to jailbreakme.com on your iPod Touch's safari browser.
2. Wait for your browser to 'crash' (meaning it will "restart").
3. Continue to wait until your iPod Touch restarts (by itself).
4. When you get the "Slide to Unlock" prompt, unlock it.
5. Voila! Your iPod Touch is unlocked!

Watching live sporting events for free
Basically, we can now all watch live sports on the internet now...provided you have broadband that is...
anyway, like most of you guys know, malaysian live sports telecast is basically monopolized by a satellite company called Astro. They show all types of sports live, from lawn bowling to various footie leagues worldwide to horse riding...and they basically charge really exorbitantly to stoopid malaysians who actually paying for stuffs they dont really watch...
fyi, i have cancelled my Astro subscription two years back and i'm proud of it...people always ask me how do you survived without watching any sporting events live? well, my dear friends, there are such things as internet...and broadband...hahahaha...
P2P, peer to peer, a fantastic technique to get video to thousands of viewers, simply and easy. You need to connect to a channel on a program, then it will start "buffering" , which means uploading/downloading untill the stream is good enough to watch.
to do this, all you need to do is to download and install a small program in ur notebook or pc, point to the right channel, then voila! Live sports FREE!
the programs i am talking about are such as: pplive, ppstream, tvants, sopcast,etc...try googling for it and try it...u will thank me later...hehehehe...

Rugby World Cup 2007 Begins!
The much anticipated Rugby World Cup (RWC) 2007 has just started...caught the opening match over in national tv at 3am in the morning in malaysia...yawn...kinda early but worth it, the pumas scored a good try and upset the formbook by beating one of the main favs of the tourney, france...
anyway, the following day (or over here in malaysia, it will be wee hours in the morning), the other 3 major favourites all played their respective matches...as expected, the all blacks and the wallabies won their matches convincingly enough...thrashing their opponents mercilessly...hurrah...
but the other fav, england, well, they did managed to beat the yankees, but just "managed"...not a good sign for the english as defending champs...but with wilco coming back for the next match, there might be better sign for the english...

Living the life...
