You can buy a giant robot in Japan for 20,000 dollar? HAAAX!!!!


Being honest here, one of my friends did tell about this news that you could buy a large robot mean you could control it like one of those Gundam anime. He said that you can customize it as you wish but of course you have to ordered it from Japan and the price is expensive (well abit expensive in my country) but yet it is not too expensive in dollar, which is still worth it if you are one of those huge robot fan.

Here is the story Japanese business called the 'Sakakibtara Kikai' presented the new product that is the coolest toy for kids which is the walker robot or the 'Cyclops'. Its height is round 6 feet tall (so imagined a ), move in full range and kids able to control the robot's arms and walk in any direction. This project is like the inspire for the other company called 'Landwalker', goal is to create 2-legged walker transport but not that much height compare to the one that Sakakibara Kikai built, this company created a followup project which is a robot about 11 foot and might equipped air cannon with nerf balls (Lets hope that they don't equipped missiles in the future), also it run on gasoline power while on the other side Cyclops run by battery.

So my thoughts? Well Japanese people are very creative as ever (have to give them credit about video games there) but never thought that they will the first to create a huge robot toy for kids. Well done indeed...But too bad I am not that big fan of robot or Gundam but the thought of having robots as transport instead of cars, it's gonna be awesome and abit scary at the same time. Whatever gonna happened in the future let's hope for only one thing, that's no epic robots war at least.

Unaware of illelgal download? We all been there.

Illegal download or not give the copyright when upload movies or anime, this happened alot of time and you will mostly see this in YouTube ALOT. This article is about the fact that most of the people in Internet are not aware of illegal download that mostly may not given permission to the original owner of that projects (Anime, game or movies and etc.). Once in a life time we all did it even if on purpose or not purpose.

You see that I blabbering alot about that most of people did right? Well not all file-sharing website are legal and straightly copyright whenever you try to download something make sure that it have author name, copyright symbol and specially it would be very good if the owner him or herself give that link to us. For example downloading from pirate online is one of those thing, there is one time when there is a game you want to play but it is not free and you don't have credit card or don't trust that game company enough. Using pirate download would be a wise choice but it is not wise when the original owner know about this if you given the link to public. It will be close down pretty soon. Whether you know or not know (you will be surprise how many people are like that) copyright law issue is serious business, well at least given the credits like names for the owner since it's their own creativity that created the work.

Even if that is the right thing to do but I will have to admit that it is annoying to not having any full episodes for certain anime and cartoons. It is good that we still have game walkthrough. So in my thought, it is very normal in Internet World and it is not like a murder crime but I would want to say think about all the time and hard work they spend on their project. Whatever you do, it is not right to claim that project is your while you are not the original creator.

Pebble Watch: What is that?

                      So what is this Pebble Watch you speak of? For sure it is not the kind that stuck in your shoes. Let say that it is a new smart watch that can tell time but can also do another cool stuff since it connect to your iOS and Android devices. Sure it look like a normal watch but like iPod 6G nano it is small that it also had it own apps like Music, Alarm, Watch-faces and Setting.

                       In Music you need to use the hardware buttons (probably be the button on the watch's side) to control the basic action in your phone and it perform like a normal mp3 player (Pause, Play, Skip and fast forward or backward) but remember it only control from the iPhone. The Alarm it just set what time you want it to ring and it will just ring whenever you want. The Watchfaces let you customize whatever is on your front screen (for example if you like numbers digital watch or the old type watch with hands).

                      Now another cool tricks for this watch, if you are a type of person who need to had your watch everywhere you go including swimming, yes the Pebble Watch is waterproof so you don't have to worry if you forget to take out your watch when you shower or catch in a rainy day.

                      So this watch actually cost about 150 dollar which is not cheap but also not too expensive. It said that those watch will be ship in 'early 2013' but it's April already...So for those who already, enjoy yourself. I for my use watch for only tell time so yes I won't really need those.

Top 5 Apps for all the Kiddies

                   Right, so we all know small kids nowadays rather use iPad as their learning resource rather than book since iPad or iPhone or any electronic gadgets are so bright and able to create more colorful illustration art than books could do and also with the interactive screen for kids in learning. So here are the top 5 apps for kids! But be warned too much TV or any gadgets equal bad eyes sight, sure kids eyes are at the stages of development at that time but remember kids eyes are weaker than adult and instead of improving it could turn to word damaging. Just saying. Bring on the list!

                   1. Alphabet Animals: (for Age: 3-8) A Slide and Seek: is really the same as children book but each letters could turned to pictures of cartoon-like animals in each alphabets. Also with if the tap from their fingers you can hear each animals' names.

                    2. Mask Jumble Animal: (for Age: 4-8) this is basically a program that you could edit animal masks using the picture of your face properly take by your own iPad or iPhone, some of the masks are decoration for your nose, eyes and mouths. So depend on your creativity to make yourself look cute or just plain creepy.

                     3. Play 123: (for Ages: 2 and Up) it is an apps that contained 10 mini games (sort of like WarioWare if you asked me) but they are easy and suit able for children which encourage them do experience the discovery to figure out things in the games.

                      4. More Trucks: (for Age: 3-7) well this look like one of the truck games in Kongregate but in a more kiddies style with interactive, judging by the picture you could collect coins and customize your track like turn it into monster  trucks, fire trucks and many another kinds! Well that will depend on how many coins you been collect.

                      5. PlayART: (Not really for kiddies since the menu is abit hard to learn for kids) Now this one catch my attention the most (since I am sort of an artist person). They said to have about 100  visual elements (like: pointillism, paper art, oil printing texture and many other elements) from famous printers Van Gogh, Cezanne and many other printers. Feel free to edited any artwork or just created your own in favorite section, when you done save and view your artworks at My Museum.

                     To me I think that More Trucks will be the popular choice for the kids which I will have to admit that it look interest (maybe I should tell that to my nephew about that), since its style is nearly the same as normal game and it is addicting. I also like PlayART as I mentioned earlier, I will get it (if I have iPad of course). Well the least favorite ones (at least for me) would be Mask Jumble Animal, the preview picture is creepy dude! I will post picture down there. But hey that's my thoughts, what is your favorite? Feel free to use this blog as an advice if you planning to get one. 

Mask Jumble Animals (Creepy!)

More Trucks(Remind me of one game in Kongregate)

PlayART (Hm, Interesting.)

Some Facts About Google Glasses

                   Alright biggest question of them all, what in the name of Arceus is the Google Glasses? Well basically the Google Glasses is upcoming produce from Google it suppose to be a computer in the glasses version which is obvious that it will be on our head, also there is a camera. So what is the purpose of this thing? Well...everywhere you go, everything you see or heard will be recorded by that camera, and from what I heard there is a mini heads-up display (HUD) just like mini map in video game (Being honest here I don't think that it is the same kind of HUD, but if it is then we would have Super Mario Bros. Map in our glasses system). I sort of want to see the HUD now, fancy point there.

                  There was also a cute(silly) comic about this new upcoming Google produce made by The Joy of Tech if you want to see the comic click here. The comic pretty much make the situation about what will happen when we come face to face with the guy who wear Google Glasses. But one thing is that they set this babe price to be abit in a heavy price, some believe to be between $1000 to $1500 (hm pretty expensive specially in my country) but then again there are little technology set in cheap price, take the risk to try it if you dare. However take this as an advice from me Google = Internet and as mentioned in first paragraph everything in your surrounding are record by the camera on your head all the time, well depend if they have On/Off switch. So pretty much if you are not careful enough then everyone in the wrold could see your every moment.

                    And finally in my thought? Well I will admit that this to me really look interesting but I am sure that I won't buy it since this year I still decided whether if to buy 3DS or Iphone first. (3DS first of course...) So this speical glasses is off my list but I alway wanted to see mini heads-up display in real life, just like in Metroid game speically the Wii version. However I do want the game programmers to use this as an example for the future interactive gaming.

Hm, look pretty cool here.

Nah, Not that cool in this version.

Code or Die: What is that?

                               Okay so this article is mainly about the "Code or Die: The Future of Work" (Nice name there.) so basically it is for people who can't get a job but you will ended up by create your own by sign up for a programming course.In my country programming may not be a very popular choice but don't understatement it because you are create something that is for the people in new age, and you might end up creating something useful. Games and Apps are included.

1. Coding Is Not Magic (Not Really): Those who are programmer you may not realized that your little skill of magic might be able to create something for the future. Programmer do create anything and I know that everyone of us like to play game on iPhone and computer, or chatting with your friend or simply just watching YouTube. Believe it or not but behind every sites that we normally use, there are a bunch of mumbo jumbo codes that only programmers could fully understand it. Well to us normal people it seem like magic top us!

2. It Take Much More Than That: There are some people who look coding as a way of solving problem and look for the creative solution or way out, like fixing bugs is one of the most useful thing in game company (Like: OGPlanet LaTale Woo!). I know programming is hard and we might become a nerd from all from working (beside gaming...)

3. Coding Might Be Essential To Creating Your Own Job:Alright so this course actually encourage the individuals people to create something of their own by their own freedom ideas. This sounded good but not everyone have to create their own company (not)

                 So in conclusion you don't need pay your money and you can choose what kind of your own website, application or service you want. But here is the word, Learning to code won't get you the better ideas but it will help write thing to order and formally. Learning to coding is not magic but also up to your reading and writing ability themselves. From all of that, what is truly important is the ideas behind it.

Alway Being forgotful when trying to remember passwords while buying things?


Are you the person who alway having problem like trying to remember a long password when buying something? Specially credit card  like PayPal and others, you need a very long password for making sure that nobody could use your money without knowing for safely first. Well...maybe this could help you people who have to remember many different passwords in online.

Well the best password in the entire world would be like 'Az1f6&jWz' but believe me you will never to be able to remember it unless it had a meaning. So the ideas of solution for the ending annoying remembering LONG passwords would be something like voice recognition, key or finger print analysis. Hey that sound like a good idea but is it possible? PayPal is one of the people who also lead this new changing revolution, they said that they are using our fingerprint as password from the scanner on mobile phones. (Only phone with touch screen I suppose.)

However not only Paypal was willing to make a change, there is an app that called "Nina" which allow you to add your personal speech as another way of password in many others smartphone. So yep when you need to pay your bill Nina will help identified the sound of your voice. This is quite a good change really but let hope that in the future those new ideas would work smoothly and perfectly.

I personal myself would not be 100 percent trusting on those new ideas, don't know if it is only me but I am quite a paranoid personal specially with my game account so having a difficult password that could make you and others confused is not such a bad thing after all.

6 Apps That could be helpful in the Morning for you

Have you ever wake and feel and you are a half hour late for your work because your alarm clock is dead? Or you are not a very morning person that you have to drag yourself out of the bed (like me) to finally get your butt to work. Well here are the apps to help organize your morning actives in order.

1. Alarm Clock Extreme: you could make you own time actives board on the app it look like a normal timeline schedule and it could be a calculator too (yeah real helpful...). But the thing that make it work the most would be the snooze setting and everyone know that the sound of alarm or snooze is more annoying than anything in the world. (specially if you set it at the maximum number of snoozes.)

2. Sunrise: is also a timeline schedule but it is more of a delightful soft color design unlike he first one and you also got email information like weather info, your day events list. Oh if you have friends you will find at the bottom of each email are your friends' birthday on that day (just like Facebook...). The email will alway tell you about many events and birthdays at 7 AM on each day

3.SWorkit: This app is for the people who like to workout at the morning before go to work or even in the holiday. It start at 8 AM for a quick 5 minutes workout, there are alot of workout styles like yoga, cardio and other things base on what you select.

4.TED: this app do play about less than 20 minutes videos about wisdom in the morning, those videos are usually from scientists, educators, researchers, entrepreneurs, text luminaries musician and many more. (Well it's not a half bad idea to learn something new and educational in the morning.)


5. Guide: is an app where it read web content like a broadcast news in the morning, this of course will read by robot, even if it was still a beta in March. And holy heck! the robot can be pet and Anime Character! Hmmm! Now this is interesting. If use Guide in the morning it would be useful if you having a coffee or in shower this app could read some 1morning news or articles for you.

6. Spotify: This app is real good for people who want musics or tunes while you getting ready for your day. Even if it cost money but you could create your own playlist for music that easy in listen in the morning. (Well this one really hit the spot for me.)

Well being honest here...app in the morning sometime could be a very handy things while it also become not very helpful at a time too. I am not a very morning person at all so I am not sure that if one alarm clock would help me that much even if it set on the full volume, but if there are 5 alarm clocks in my room then that would definitely wake me up but with bad mood of course...However Sportify do interest me abit I would love to try to have music play while I am in shower, wondering if that will help me in good mood or not.

Top Worst Passwords that proberly beg someone to hack your accounts

Internet is not a very safe place, that's all I can say. So it's better be safe than sorry by having strong password to save your time and sanity from the hackers or crackers who want to ruined your life. This article is to warned you about the worst passwords that people could properly come up with, so if there is one or two passwords that you using now display on the following list then be careful hackers are way smarter and sneaky than you could imagined.

Top 20 weak and worst Passwords of all time.
  • 123456 (Is that all you can think of?)
  • 12345
  • 123456789
  • Password  (Well can't said about this one since when I was young I used this password for Club Penguin.)
  • iloveyou (That's just silly.)
  • princess (Seriously?)
  • rockyou
  • 1234567
  • 12345678
  • abc123
  • Nicole (Using username or your name as password never be a good decision.)
  • Daniel
  • babygirl
  • monkey (You sir properly asking for your account to got Hack and you would rage like a monkey.)
  •  Jessica
  •  Lovely (It won't be lovely when you got HACK.)
  • michael
  • Ashley
  • 654321
  • Qwerty (They are way smarter than you think.)
  • infographic
Hacking and security become the most biggest problem to this very day so don't be surprise if some website or app ask you to change password every months, yes it is annoying but you won't regret it or cry a river when you discovered that your game account or Facebook got hacked. Also alway be aware that there are some apps might ask you for security permission from you.

What is a good password you ask? Well first is the length, how longest is your password? About 7 to 10 or even longer is enough but the length won't help you much if you relate password hinted with username or your personal information. Second, is that don't create password that's using person name or your name in it. Third, don't use password that's very easy for the world to guess or having the word 'password' in it like numbers 1234 or password123. Don't use simple and single word as password even if they have numbers that's hard to guess.

The good way to make a password would be first, your password should include 1 or 2 caps letter and add some number that would stand for you but make sure that nobody know about it. Second, you could make up your favorite sentence and use the front letters of the words as your password such as 'This little piggy went to market' to 'tipw2m' or being most creative would be 'tlpWENT2m'

In conclusion, as I said from the beginning it's better being safe than sorry. Most of you might thought that getting your...World of Warcraft account banned by your parent is the worst but believe getting hacked by someone unknown to you is far more bad and dangerous. It isn't only game account but social network do count too and your personal things or information might be seem by others, it's not safe so hope that is post might warn or remind you the way you set up your password.

Cars with App? Better be careful while driving.

Well in this year 2013, the article announced that last few years the cars numbers had been increase over the years. This year is the start up of  bring their own smartphone into the car and including all the apps too, pretty awesome idea hm? The early of this success of this idea the developers are excited about this idea and the challenge up ahead while the people who are waiting for this having fan-giggle right now, just like how I having fan-girl nerdgasm over the upcoming of Pokemon X and Y for 3DS. But let not get off topic (even if I do want to write more about game) over the 1,000 developers already signed up for this job since it announced earlier week of  January.

If let me guess this wonderful idea originally came from the thought that we often get new smartphone (every year...) then we buy new cars which I think that is a very smart idea since you could raise more money like how you kill 2 birds with 1 stone. Well now we could only wait what apps with the developers will come up with next even if it was still their private closed betas, and there will be alot of apps for radio like iHeartRadio and Pandora since driving and music are classic. Also some apps are for reading newspaper and magazine articles for your entrainment when traffic or other choices are doe location-shaping apps like Giympse.

In my thought I love the idea but alway be aware that when you driving, your eyes focus on the road. Well all I can said is that: Be careful while you're driving.

 Look cool? Can't imagined what will the world of driving be like in the future.

Fewer Children start to come the Libraries often, Well can't say that I am surprise

Now this article take place in Thailand, wow! Anyway most of people specially kids after school some students would usually go home right away by picking up vans or bus while some other kids rather to stay home than other activity or play with their friend, spend time with video games or sports.

But there is still small amount percent of students, specially this two girls they would spend their time reading at a small library. This used of their time were approve by both parent and other who see them.

How bad is the situation, you asked? Well let say there are about more than 10,000 people live in Khlong Toei while less than 1,000 people maybe around 600 or 700 are members of library around that area. Well all the new things and activities that newly added in like computer, online games, ipad, etc... I am very surprise at all. Research may show that children like to watching or listen rather than reading which need more concentration.

 Now it's my thought about this article. Well it didn't mean that with all the new technology like computer, games and iphone is going on, it didn't mean that kids with spend less time on reading but the only different is that we don't spend alot of time on the real book. We could read information from the internet too plus with how easy it's to search topics on what you want to know, just one click and alot of webs with facts are there for you. I mean really I read fiction in FanFiction.net most of the time and I sometime play game too since I am an hardcore facts at gaming.

 So...what is the different?
