Finally, I got my Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000

     Finally, I had decided to get my first Android smartphone, Samsung Galaxy S GT I9000 which had the largest screen among all Android smartphones before the release of HTC Desire HD.

     Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 has 8GB and 16GB interior memory and I got my 16GB in this Christmas. With 16GB of memory, I don’t need to have SD memory card. Its interior 16GB memory with 2GB of ROM is enough for me to store apps, pictures, songs and also some movies.  

     I like the design of the phone and also its 4.0 inch Super AMOLED Display. Besides that, I choose Android smartphone as in my Android for Dummies post, I am actually learning how to develop Android apps. It would be useful if I had an Android phones while developing.

     If there is anyone who also developing Android, hope that you will guide me as I am not familiar with Java. Thanks.

Think Rational

Now in the world, many people did not think rationally. There are so many cases of suicides happened in many types of ways. It might be just a normal suicide but it might also causing other people in danger. Suicide attack is also one of the ways of suicide.

Rational – what is rational?

“Rational = consistent with or based on or using reason; "rational behavior"; "a process of rational inference"; "rational thought" “ Quote from Google definition.

If rational behavior is easy to adapt, what will happen to the world today? Will there still be any war? Will our earth still in pollution? Is there global warming?

Who knows the answers? Anything that happened in the past could not be changed but in future by NOW, we can change the World. We can make the earth a better place. Stop any irrational thinking. Stop being selfish. Stop polluting the earth. Stop the war. In any case, please think of our next generations! Our future! Don’t think in a short-term way, think of future, think for 100 years away. What might happens in our history?

History of tomorrow is what we done today. To create a good history, think of what we going to do next. Think Rational!

PS: This is just my personal opinion. Please comment if anything is wrong.

Window 7 installation : Setup unable to create system partition problem

I installed window 7 yesterday and faced problem in setup. The installer shows error with

"Setup unable to create system partition".

I search internet and can't find any solution to solve my problem. Most of the solutions show that format the hard disk might fix the problem. I tried but still can't solve the problem.

After testing for more than 3 hours, I installed window vista instead of window 7. While installing window vista, I figure out a solution for it.

My Solution:
If you faced "Setup unable to create system partition" when installing window 7,

Step 1:

Install any other version of window except window 7.

Step 2:

Format your hard disk.

Step 3:

Install window 7. (There should not be any problem now.)

If still having the same problem, go back to step 1. After install other version of window, continue with installing window 7 without formatting the hard disk. If you don't want to have
previous system files in your system, back to step 2.

This solved my problem and I hope that it will be able to help you to solve your problem.

Android for Dummies

As I go through tutorials for Android development, I can't find a basic guide for those who don't know anything about programming. Android had an official android development websites for developers but for those who does not know about java might has difficulty in starting with android development.

To develop android application in windows, there are some necessary programs that needed to be installed. Android use java as development language, so in order to develop android application, the following programs need to be installed:

1) Java Development Kit (JDK)

2) Eclipse (which is recommended by Android or other java application)

3) Android SDK

For windows 32 bit xp, vista and 7, it is recommended to use Eclipse 3.5 Galileo 32 bit which consider as a stable version of eclipse to work with Android.

Eclipse 3.6 Helios 64 bit can be used for those who use 64 bit windows but Android development say that Eclipse 3.6 Helios might has problems with Android Plug-in.

Installation

JDK will needed an installation. Just follow the instructions after running JDK installer.

Eclipse and Android SDK from the link that I provided above are in zip files which can directly work after extracting the files into any directory of your preferences.

Eclipse Galileo Start-up picture. The workspace can be any directory that you prefer. After that, Eclipse will start loading. When finish loading, click Help --> Install New Software...

Since I had install Android plug-in in Eclipse, just ignore the duplicate location here. You won't have this notification if you just download the Eclipse.

The location that I had inserted in the picture is "https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/" and the name can be anything of your choice. Then click OK. Please ignore the picture with the disable OK button.

After that, there will be two developers tools for android. Just check for both and click next and follow the instruction until you finish with the installation. Restart eclipse after that.

Now, we will integrate Android SDK into Eclipse. After Eclipse start-up, click Window --> Preferences.

Click on Android and the choose the directory where you previously extracted Android SDK folder by clicking on Browse. Click OK.

Now, go to Window--> Android SDK and AVD Manager. Click on Available Packages and check the check box there.

The available packages will be shown after updating from internet. You can check all or just choose the minimum: one SDK platform in order to develop Android apps. If you don't know how to choose, please refer here.

Once you have chosen the package, click Install Selected. It will take times to install depends on your internet speed.

You are almost done but you will need to prepare your virtual device for testing your apps once you created.

Back to Android SDK and AVD Manager, and choose Virtual Devices and the click New.

Choose your own setting for your virtual device and you are done with setting up. Now you may start with programming your own android application.

To do so, Click File --> New --> Other --> Android --> Android Project and start your very own development.

Hope this tutorial had guide you in setting up your computer for Android Development.

Samsung Galaxy S vs Iphone 4G

SAMSUNG GALAXY S or SGS is the newest android phone in the market today. Rumors said that SGS is comparable with Iphone 4G which is also released since last month.

SGS had Super Amoled capacitive touchscreen with 16M Color. This is the greatest screen ever in this market. Besides that, Android is the new OS for smartphone which is open source. This OS can provide faster performance and provide more features. Android market also provide a lot of softwares and mostly are freeware.

IPhone 4G now facing the problem with the antenna. The signal reception is affected by covering the lower left-hand corner of the phone. That corner is the antenna notch of IPhone 4G and by covering it, there is minor loss in signal. This problem might cause some users to change from IPhone 4G to Samsung Galaxy S.

**THIS IS JUST A PERSONAL OPINION ON TODAY TECHNOLOGY. PLEASE COMMENT IS ANYTHING MENTION ABOVE IS WRONG.

Mouth Ulcer..BEWARE!!!

Mouth ulcer is an open sore inside the mouth caused by a break in the mucous membrane or the epithelium on the lips or surrounding the mouth. The types of ulcers are diverse, with a multitude of associated causes including: physical or chemical trauma, infection from microorganisms, medical conditions or medications, cancerous and nonspecific processes.

Structure of Plant cell and it's organelles functions.

Figure 1.Plant Cell

Organelles' functions:-

1.Nucleus:-
i)Within nucleus, the chromosomes are in a loosely coiled state known as chromatin (except during nuclear division).
ii)Chromosomes contain DNA which is organised into functional units called genes.
iii)Genes control the activities of the cell and inheritance.
iv)Division of the nucleus precedes cell division.
v)Within nucleus, the nucleolus manufactures ribosomes, using the information in its own DNA.



2.Ribosomes:-
i)The space inside the sac forms a compartment separate from the surrounding cytoplasm.
ii)It goes on to the Golgi apparatus.
iii)Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis.
iv)At high magnifications, the ribosomes are seen having two parts, a smaller and a larger subunit.
v)They are found free in the cytoplasm as well as on the rough ER.
vi)They are very small organelles and made of RNA and protein.
3. Endoplasmic Reticulum(ER):-
i)Separate into two groups-[Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum and Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum].
ii)In some area, the ER lacks ribosomes and appears smooth.
iii)This called smooth ER and the ribosomes-covered ER is called rough ER.
iv)The membranes form a system of flattened sacs, called cisternae.
v)The smooth ER synthesis lipids and steroids-cholesterol and reproductive hormones.
vii)The protein manufactured on the ribosomes are transported throughout the cell by the rough ER.
4.Golgi Apparatus:-
i)The apparatus collects, processes and sorts molecules (particularly protein from the rough ER).
ii)Ready to be transported in Golgi vesicles either to other parts of the cell or out of the cell(secretion).
iii)Golgi Apparatus are also used to make lysosomes.
5.Mitochondria:-
i)Slightly larger than lysosomes and are surrounded
by two membranes-an envelope.
ii)The inner part is folded to form finger-like cristae which project into the interior solution or matrix.
iii)Main function is to carry out the later stages of aerobic respiration.
iv)As a result of respiration, they make ATP, the universal energy carrier in cells.
v)They are also involved in synthesis of lipids.
6.Plasma Membrane:-
i)This consists of two dark lines(heavily stained) either side of a narrow, pale interior.
ii)Partially permeable, controlling exchange between cell and its environment.
7.Cell wall:-
i)Give mechanical support to herbaceous plants with weak stems.
ii)Allow water and mineral salts to move through and along it, as it is permeable and rigid.
iii)Prevent the movement of certain substances.
iv)Direct the pattern of growth and shape of a cell by the cellulose fibril arrangement in the cell wall.
v)Store food reserves, such as hemicelluloses.
8.Chloroplast:-
i)Contain enzymes necessary for the photosynthesis light-independent reactions in the stroma.
ii)Contain chlorophyll and other pigments that are required for the photosynthesis light-dependent reactions in thylakoids.
iii)Store the photosynthetic products in the form of starch grains.
9.Vacuole:-
i)Provide support for plants by enabling water molecules to pass through via osmosis and maintain turgidity.
ii)Contain hydrolytic enzymes and play a similar role as lysosomes.
iii)Contain pigments to provide colour for parts of the plant, especially the flowers.
iv)Temporarily store waste products such as tannin and alkaloids.
v)Temporarily store food such as sucrose.

请问世上有什么东西是永远不会变的呢？
-答案: 变

清明时节雨纷纷，路上行人欲断魂。借问酒家何处有？牧童遥指杏花村。--（唐）杜牧

5Th April 2010，

这首诗描写清明时节的天气特征，抒发了孤身行路之人的情绪和希望。
清明时节，天气多变，有时春光明媚，花红柳绿，有时却细雨纷纷，绵绵不绝。首句“清明时节雨纷纷”写出了“泼火雨”的特征（清明前两天是寒日节，旧俗要禁火三天，这时候下雨称为“泼火雨”）。次句“路上行人欲断魂”写行路人的心境。“断魂”，指内心十分凄迷哀伤而并不外露的感情。这位行人为何“欲断魂”呢？因为清明在我国古代是个大节日，照例该家人团聚，一起上坟祭扫，或踏青游春。现在这位行人孤身一人，在陌生的地方赶路，心里的滋味已不好受，偏偏又淋了雨，衣衫全被打湿，心境就更加凄迷纷乱了。

如何排遣愁绪呢？行人自然想：最好在附近找个酒家，一来歇歇脚，避避雨；二来饮点酒，解解寒；更主要的可借酒驱散心中的愁绪。于是他问路了：“借问酒家何处有？”问谁，没有点明。末句“牧童遥指杏花村”中的“牧童”二字，既是本句的主语，又补充说明上句问的对象。牧童的回答以行动代替语言，行人顺着他手指的方向望去，只见在一片红杏盛开的树梢，隐隐约约露出了一个酒望子（古代酒店的标帜）。诗到这里戛然而止，至于行人如何闻讯而喜，兴奋地赶上前去，找到酒店饮上几杯，获得了避雨、解寒、消愁的满足等等，都留待读者去想象。

由于这首诗的广泛流传，“杏花村”三字在后世便成了酒家的雅号。

今天是清明时，家家户户都去扫墓了。扫墓可让后辈在为前辈付出多一分爱心和孝心。在这时节，我想信大家都会有依依不舍的感觉。与其被此感觉打败，不如我们先打败它。

从今以后，我们更是应珍惜现在所拥有的。亲情，友情，爱情这三种情我们是否应把它们锁起来呢？

希望大家能够挽回失去的，挣救将失去的和把握拥有的。正所谓：“亡羊补牢，未为迟也。”

Moral?

My lecturer got mentioned that:-
-Moral is not for us to study or memorize but is for us to PRACTICE.

10 sen! It's not so important? Or can save one's life?

The 10sen in Malaysia


Does 10sen help?

Last month, my school had organism a very meaningful charity activity. That is:-

"THE POWER OF 10SEN"


-This activity is mainly organismed by our school club-- Stact club (students' action club).

-Every members from this club would have to get a 'piggy bank'

-This 'piggy bank' has a similar shape as pentagon.

-This 'piggy bank' is man made and made by unused boxes. So it's environment protection.

-Every members from this club were asked to drop at least 10 sen per day into the 'piggy bank' until the end of this activity.

-This "THE POWER OF 10SEN" activity last for about 1 month.

-Every members are required to ask for donation everydays from other students in our school.

-During this activity, I also learned that cooperation really make perfect!! Because of different courses, the timetable will also different. This make the donation activity run unsmoothly. However, with the club members' help by changing shift, we finally managed to overcome the timetable problem.

-Objective of this activity shown below:-
1. This activity was carried out mainly to help those victims of earthquake in Haiti.
2. To show that 10sen can save one's life.
3. Even 10sen is small in value, but when gather up, it shown huge value.


>In Chinese, there are two quotes which suit 3rd objective: 积少成多 and 泰山不让土壤。
>In Malay, there is also a 'peribahasa' which means the same meaning: Sedikit-dikit, lama-lama menjadi bukit.


Here, I'm going to advise those who do look down the 10sen. 10sen not only can save one's life, but will also affect the economy of country, so please do not waste even though it's only 10sen. If there will be an emergency, you may need it.
