Google just announce they are working on a driver less car(or auto drive car). Looks like it is interesting to some the artificial intelligent to drive for you. Sit back and relax while it brings you to the destination. I wonder if it come with auto parking feature and wake you up when your car is well parked in the lot.

I guess it been so many years that those car manufacture unable to come out with the artificial intelligent because they only have those mechanical and electronic engineer.
But Google have butch of software engineers making this possible.

Lets hope the software does not give you force close or send error report in the middle of the highway.

Hope you enjoy the video below

It’s been really long long time since I last updated this page. Been busy with many thing on my life. Many hardware upgrade and update. Let see the list below.

1.  Really glad to inform that my SGS(Galaxy S) has been upgrade to Froyo Android version 2.2. I lost all my configuration and SMS during the upgrade. That the biggest mistake I ever made on the mobile phone.

2.  Added NAS D-Link DNS 323 into my home network. Now I have a dedicate drive to store my files. I have done many things to the NAS. Add Bittorent Support, webproxy, Samba share, php webserver, time machine backup. a MRTG graph in future maybe.

3. As accessory to the NAS above, I got a Western Digital Green 2TB HDD. That making my total storage at home reach 4TB (2Tb WD Green + 3x320GB WD+ 1TB WD Black). There is still some issue with the file copy, the connection just drop for no reason. Still working on the root cause

4. A new TP-Link 8960N wireless router and modem, to pamper my NAS traffic. As the NAS is running all the time, I need a router to QOS the traffic and give more priority to my browsing and gaming. This TP-Link router look promising. The time it take to power on up to ADSL link is up is less that a minute. Thats really fast. However, the modem starting to drop ADSL signal unexpectedly past 2 day. I think it is too hot. I power it on again today and it is working fine.

5. No much trip I have gone since the last post. I been to only Genting and Genting.. Haha 2 times in 4month. Really bored with Genting already.

6. Getting IPhone 4 for my sister. This IPhone 4 really puts me lots of trouble trying to activate it. Most of the phone shop refuse to assist me to activate the phone with micro sim card. Argggggghhhh…. Why need activation, this making I hate IPhone more.

Finally, after a long wait for my contract to expire. I got my mobile plan renew with Singtel. Got this Galaxy S phone at only S$148 with 12GB data plan, 200min talk time. Got the phone on 13 Aug but got it 1 to 1 replaced on next day due to a blue pixel on the screen.

Having this phone(around 100 gram) alot lighter than my HTC Tytn 2(around 240 gram), I keep thinking I forget to bring my phone. Its slips smoothly into my tight jean pocket. After one day of configuration, setting, exploring the android market, forum and etc, I got the phone everything in place as sms,contact and email is migrated from tytn2(WM 6.1).

Here is the Best out of this phone(I going to compare it to so well know IPhone 4)

• The 4″ AMOLED screen is awesome, placing iPhone 4 beside making iphone screen look like a toy. The screen clarity and sharpness is unbelievable, you have to see it to believe it. To Iphone 4 users using retina display, you don’t use a microscope to view your phone screen. As for the brightness, it can kill your eyesight during the night at maximum brightness. The black color of the screen is real black not unlike other display, looks like dark grey.
• The speed. At 1Ghz CPU is really fast, the broswing experience is perfect. My tytn2 is really slow, I really hate to use it to browser. As to compare to Iphone 4, both using 1Ghz processor and I can’t comment much on this BUT reviews show Galaxy S load a little faster than IPhone 4.
• A real multitasking, iOS 4 just release with so call multitasking supported but its really usage only allow you to switch between program easier. Anything not on Iphone screen is not running, you can’t record video and read sms at the same time. Android on Galaxy S allows this to happen, so you can record video, read sms and runs many application at same time. There whole list off application run on background that Iphone can’t run, automatic profile switching, calendar based alarm, customize notification, sending schedule sms and long list to go.
• The weight of the phone is really light. Around 100 gram making it near to the weight of most nokia range. Of course it is lighter that Iphone 4

That all for now. I going to explore my phone. Will continue with the more advantages and the downside of the phone.
