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.
