Today evening the so called rumor came to life. Yes, Petrol price, diesel price has been increased by 40%-50% by midnight. Hundreds of thousands of cars queue at all the petrol stations around city and other places. It had been rumored that petrol price will go up by august 2008 but it seems government politicians has their wide sense of humor to play with citizens lives. It has been announced at TV today evening by the Honorable Prime Minister of Malaysia that petrol price will increase by 40% totaling per liter of petrol to RM2.70 and diesel to RM2.58. Well Malaysians should start doing their dance that it’s still cheaper in the Asia.. Nuff said. It will effect every single person, objects and equipments around the country. Expect a price burst as soon as next 5 - 15 days time. The Government sector salary has been increased few months before but not the private sector. All the private sector Employee will have a real bad time ahead of them. All the food, consumer product prices will go up by 20%-70%. Each middle class families will have a real hard time to cope up with the pricing.

Hey suddenly something choked on my mind.. Have you guys watched “Transformers” ? Do you remember in the movie there was a scene; the sector 7 guy while he was showing the badge to Sam and the Girl and told them that’s the “Do anything and get away with it” badge. I don’t know why that scene suddenly appear in my mind.. Anyway

• 2500cc pick up trucks also falls under the subsidy

• Roadtax will be reduced for those who doesn’t come directly under subsidy, reduced roadtax by rm200 for engines above 2000cc

Clear All Requests Option for FaceBook

January 31, 2008 at 11:24 am · Filed under Interesting, News

Facebook is a great social network but along with the good things some bad things also comes. Facebook is built on application framework and it’s possible to add new applications to extend your Facebook functionality. You can send a invite to join your friends to add a specific application that you’ve added and it will wait at the queue at your friends requests page. Sometimes it’s so annoying to see too many requests and all you can do to prevent that is to press ignore each one of them or go to the application and block it which is a painful process. Recently IgnoreAll.com came up with their javascript based browser bookmarklet that will click on all the ignore buttons on the requests page. So now Facebook introduces “Clear All” option if you have more than 25 requests on your request page.

Too many requests?

We’ve added a “clear-all” option for when you have lots of requests waiting on your Requests page.

Well I think they shouldn’t put the option for not only for more than 25 requests but for any requests.

Found this information at MySQL blog.

After all the industry speculation about MySQL being a “hot 2008 IPO”, this probably takes most of us by surprise — users, community members, customers, partners, and employees. And for all of these stakeholders, it may take some time to digest what this means. Depending on one’s relationship to MySQL, the immediate reaction upon hearing the news may be a mixture of various feelings, including excitement, pride, disbelief and satisfaction, but also anxiety.

What will be the future of MySQL with Sun MicroSystems?

Whats your opinion about this?
