Kuroshio Sea – 2nd largest aquarium tank in the world

Saturday, July 18th, 2009

I have not seen the Manila Ocean Park yet (I will soon), but this one is a great aquarium sight. I just wonder how it would be if I have one like that in my house (dreaming that I have a house big for that).

MSI Wind: Multiboot OSX, XP, Ubuntu (MBR, Grub) with or without a DVD Drive

For anyone wanting a cheap Mac-Netbook, here is a great setup. I recently managed to triple boot my MSI Wind with OSX, XP and Ubuntu (and if the disk space would permit you may be able to accomodate more Operating Systems). Here are the steps on how I got it done. (Be ready for a technical blog post!)

Google Chrome OS

Sunday, July 12th, 2009

It has long been a talk in the technology community that Google would someday develop its own OS likely based on the Linux Kernel. But for the first time, Google confirmed in a blog posting and even gave us their time line for producing such a product. While I would not be jumping at the conclusion that the OS would be the MS Killer and savior-what-have-you, if there is any entity out there that would have a chance at challenging MS’ monopoly at the desktop, it is no other than Google- the other powerhouse.

Short list of things that I would like to see in the Google Chrome OS

  • Interface as interactive and appealing as Mac OS X
  • Easy installation of softwares like APT-GET
  • Great community support like Ubuntu

Here’s hoping the best for a really promising product but second half of 2010 is too long to wait. Advances in other Linux Distros may be already so good to even think about switching for me.
