I went to the Shah Alam stadium with my friend, Ranil on Monday to watch the Samsung Chelsea Asia Tour 2008. There were about 1000 fans there and they had the training session till 8pm. I did not have a chance to meet the players or get their autograph. All I got to see was Frank Lampard’s face about 20M away. Hahah…..

Here’s the pics of the real kick off on Tuesday with the Malaysian team.

The Samsung Chelsea Asia Tour has just ended with its last leg right here in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The star studded London team won the match against the Malaysian Selection team by 2 – 0. The Malaysian Team made us proud, as they managed to put on a good performance against the Premier League giants.

Samsung is proud to have been a part of this amazing tour, as the Match Title sponsors as well as the sponsors for the Chelsea Football Club. This was an opportunity for the company to give something back to the community, through the coaching clinics for the children, as well as to the local sports enthusiast.

I’ve been using the Brando Solar Mosquito Repeller for a week and it does not work. I normally leave it in my bedroom while opening the window. I thought this will make the Mosquitoes fly out the window but it does not work. The high pitch sound it makes does not irritate the Mosquitoes and they still stay in the room. Looks like I need to find a

Oh man, this is troubling. Looks like the internet has a major security risk and it affects millions of affected systems. The problem lies with the DNS system….. The flaw that Mr. Kaminsky discovered is in the Domain Name System, a kind of automated phone book that converts human-friendly addresses like google.com into machine-friendly numeric counterparts.

Next week, he will take another step by publicly laying out the details of the flaw at a security conference in Las Vegas. That should force computer network administrators to fix millions of affected systems.

Los Angeles, Calif. – (July 28, 2008) – Agent 18, designers of the world’s most innovative protection products for music devices, laptops and other electronic accessories, announced the debut of their iPhone 3G case line. From the company who pioneered many of the design elements that are prevalent in most of today’s protection cases, Agent 18 has designed an iPhone 3G case for every lifestyle. New iPhone 3G cases are available in three of Agent 18’s most popular case lines: Eco Shield, Clear Shield and FlowerVest.

EcoShield for iPhone 3G
EcoShield is made of a scratch resistant hard-plastic derived from recycled plastic bottles. Even the packaging the EcoShield comes in is made from recycled materials. Agent 18’s EcoShield iPhone 3G case is one of the thinnest on the market yet it offers rugged protection that is second to none. The case’s high gloss finish matches that of the iPhone 3G and the interior pads protect the iPhone from being scratched. The EcoShield for iPhone 3G is available in five colors: white, pink, blue, green and black.

Features:

• Thin and lightweight hardshell Eco plastic
• Silicon cushioned pads offer additional protection to the phone
• Comes in several colors (Black, White, Pink, Blue, and Green)
• Docks in any Universal Docking device.
• Easy access to all connectors, buttons, and camera

ClearShield for iPhone 3G
Practically invisible, this new generation of Agent18’s iPhone shield offers maximum protection without adding the bulkiness of other covers. This innovative case shields iPhone 3G against bumps and scratches with a durable polycarbonate shell. The interior pads protect the iPhone from being scratched and as with all Agent 18 cases, the ClearShield features openings for all ports and touch screens.

Features:

• Clear and durable plastic construction
• Rubberized cushioned interior for shock absorption
• Easy access to all connectors and touch screens
• Unobstructed opening to camera lens for clear picture taking

A lightweight protection option, the FlowerVest is made of soft silicone and molds to the iPhone for maximum protection. FlowerVest shields the iPhone 3G from scratches and falls with its bounce back design while still leaving access to all ports and touch screens. The FlowerVest for iPhone 3G is available in two colors: brown with blue flowers and pink with pink flowers.

Features:

• Flexible, lightweight, and durable silicone construction
• Easy access to all connectors and touch screens
• Unobstructed opening to camera lens for clear picture taking

I have a modded NTSC-J Wii that I bought from Digital Mall, PJ in 2006 and now its semi bricked. I tried to play a Mario Kart PAL CD on Saturday and it was a big mistake. I thought it was a NTSC version as the outside jacket said so. Then I looked at the CD and it said PAL. Darn. Now I will need to fix the problem by downloading this repad ISOs to unbrick it. – Semi-brick fix discs for all three regions (updated)

If you have a Nintendo Wii, then you know how irritating it can be when the battery runs out on the Wiiremote. Instead of just using the default AA batteries on the remotes, try to cool Nyko Charge Station for Nintendo Wii. You can charge 2 remotes on the dock and it takes about 45 mins to get a full charge. Once its charged up, it gives about 6 hours of play during my tests since Nov 2007.

Removing and installing the new rechargeable batteries into your Wiimote is very easy. Just pop out the AA batteries, pop in the new rechargeable ones, close the lid and you are done. If you do not have a silicon jacket for your Wiimote, its OK. The grip cover give enough rubbery support even for slippery hands. The charge station goes for $39.99

Easily charge and store your Wii Remotes™ with Nyko’s Charge Station for Wii™. The Charge Station includes 2 NiMH batteries, exclusively designed for the Wii Remote, each providing up to 25 hours of play time. Each battery is easily recharged by placing the Wii Remote in the charging dock. The charging dock conveniently plugs into any standard wall outlet, allowing for rapid recharging of both batteries in 8 hours. The Charge Station includes 2 custom battery covers with contact pass-through points so you can charge the batteries while they are still in the remote. Each battery cover is also rubberized for superior grip during intense gaming sessions. The Charge Station matches the décor and styling of the Wii, and is small enough to fit in any home entertainment center.

The new Sanyo Eneloop charge station for Nintendo Wii is the first Nintendo-licensed recharger to come out for gamers and it can charge your Wiimotes in 220 mins. Its sort of a cool gadget since it uses a contact-free electromagnetic system whereby you can leave the battery in during charging. So there’s no need to pull the batteries out and you don’t have to align it correctly to work. Sounds like a good thing to buy since my Nyko Charge Station goes freaky once a while and it does not charge when I plug in the Wiimote at certain angles. Moving it around solves the problem but that makes me work too hard.

Eneloop charging station complete with a battery pack replacement pack for your Wii remote and a charging base that can support as many as four controllers at once. Remotes charge in a respectable 220 minutes and Eneloop will even charge sequentially so you don’t have to wait an extra couple hours for your next Smash Bros fix. Available for $73 as an import item, but we wouldn’t be surprised if this showed up on our shores for powerless gamers this fall.

UPDATE: Confused about why this is important? The new recharger uses a contact-free electromagnetic system so you don’t need to remove your battery pack. Oh – it’s also the first Nintendo-licensed recharger.
