Microsoft Surface Expected in 2011



I think most of you guys know how is Microsoft Surface looks like. If you really unsure about it. Press here to know for more details.

Alright, according to Vice President of Microsoft’s Specialized Devices and Applications business, Tom Gibbons. Gibbons says that Microsoft Surface can appear on the market by 2011 and feels that Surface will be affordable in 2-3 years for consumers. Microsoft has gotten 2,000 inquiries, 50 from governments or corporations, 25 stretching across industries and 1 from Lloyd. Haha. Yaya, I'm dreaming now. But really hope to own this cool tablet. Unfortunately, is damn expensive and is approximately $5000 -$10000. Which mean from RM16000-RM32000 per tablet. Haiz. Forget about it.

Closer to A.I (Artificial Intelligent)?



Damn! this girl really freak me out when I first saw her in the internet. What she did is follow the mouse cursor and randomly smile at me. From the article, some believe this technology comes from Linux/Unix application called "xeyes".

Don't believe in me? Check it out!

Well, maybe still in development. What she can perform now is limited. As you can see in the technology nowadays, nothing is impossible. Hope I can own one too.

New RPG from Square-Enix - Coming Soon (For PSP only)

1. Star Ocean - Second Evaluation
Release Date: 2008.04.02
Genre: RPG

This game is a remake version of PS platform which previously called Star Ocean "The Second Story". About the storyline, it somehow connected to Star Ocean "First Departure" which release on 27th December 2007. So, if you wish to completed the whole story, you are advisable to play with Star Ocean "First Departure" 1st. I should say that I have completed Star Ocean "The Second Story" in PS platform before and what I can say is this is a recommended game. Why? Because the battle system and the ability is impressive. The battle is not like classis RPG instead this game is using sphere (360 degree) battle system. You are free to control your own characters and kill the monsters like hell! Another system that I prefer in this game is the Customization tools. This is an incredible system! You are allow to create any custom equipment with an available materials dropped by monsters or treasures. You can even make your existing sword and armor become super strong and invinsible!

2. DISSIDIA Final Fantasy
Release Date: Unknown
Genre: Dramatic Progressive Action

Hmmm... For me, FF game is quite crap because of the storyline is unclear. We as a gamer always wonder what they are trying to express in the story. Even after we completed the whole game, we will still blurring don't know what we are playing and what are the story purpose all about. One word: Messy! Anyhow, I still hope this game will not disappoint me. We will know after the game release.

3. Kingdom Heart - Birth by Sleep

Release Date: Unknown
Genre: RPG

One of the game that cooperated with Walt Disney. Although the graphics for this game is nice, but I didn't play it for once is PS2 platform (Kingdom Heart I and II). Well, what I do is start the game and watch the opening (both opening game song sing by Utada Hikaru), finish then close. Haha. hmmm... I think I will consider to play this game when it release... Hopefully...

Limited Edition, My PSP with Transparent Screen!

After installed with a "Transparent Screen v2.1" Homebrew plus additional hardware that enable Transparent mode. Hence, below is the result of my current PSP!



Haha, cool ya.

Actually there's a bugs on this screen whereby the screen will have a little bit fuzzy and if you notice carefully on the left and bottom border, the color adjustment is having some problem. this is because the hardware is not so stable at this moment. But I think this can be fix on the next batch.

Dammit..... I'm such a "BIG POTENTIAL LIAR". Haha

New Sidebar and Comment Icon Added!

As promise last time, I plan to change the icon for this template Sidebar and Comment. As you can see here, this is the result after I added with a arrow like Vista style. Anyway, I need to build the whole template looks like Windows Vista as to match the theme named "Windows Vista Style" for my blog. I think that all I can do for at this moment. I started to create another template right now and hopefully, I can spare some time for my photoshop and post it up to my blog.

Welcome to New Skin!

Yes, the new skin that created base on "Windows Vista style" which give us an aero glass experience. Well, this skin is 100% created using Adobe Photoshop and I have spent almost a week to complete it (ya I know the progress is slow, i'm just a noob). Anyway, around 15 layers used within this skin. The most difficult part is to create the Windows frame which need to be looks like aero glass effect. A lot of blending style apply to this layer, opacity and gradient adjustment. Apart from this, a couple of "ray of light" need to be created in order to make the windows more realistic. While the inner windows, there's nothing to added here. what I did is simply apply some brushes to make it more stylish, like what I created to Ayumi Hamasaki wallpaper.

After done with the photoshop editing, is time to upload the skin and edit the template by using xml. For me, i'm using an existing template for editing. So this will make our life more easier. Haha. Just becareful with the padding and space will do. If time allow, I will create an icon for this skin too. Depend on my time planning. Anyway, hope you will like this skin. C & C are welcome!

Addicted to Photoshop IV

Hi There, after a few weeks of "Addicted to Photosop III". Here come another piece of wallpaper created by me!The source of this wallpaper is originally taken from Ayumi FanSite which is mainly a D-Dock and D-Snap Advertisement wallpaper.

Hence, I combine both of the wallpaper into One. Actually nothing much to do on this wallpaper. It contains 5 layers only and each layer has been added a blending options. For the rest, I keep on use paintbrush to draw the background and make it more stylish and attractive. While the yellow bar, I make it on gradient-like so that it will give a transparent effect.

Well, that's all for this wallpaper. Enjoy
