My daughter got this tiny media player as a Christmas present from one of my friends. It is a nice media player considered that it can play music, video and games with 1GB capacity on its price range (listed price $99 but Amazon.com is selling it for $21). And it has SpongeBob cartoon icon everywhere which kids like it from TV already. But of course, it is not perfect at least for me I could not connect it to my DELL computer at the first. Finally I got this issue resolved (will update later), and happy to recommend this device to you especially you have kids in house.
Dear friends, wish you have a great year of 2010. Sorry I have not updated the blog for a while since I just traveled back to China at the end of 2009.
Thanks to the damn Chinese Great Firewall, I still can connect to my own blogs even I could not connect to Twitter.com, Facebook.com and other my important favorites.
I do not really feel sorry for my hometown fellowers as I did before. Even I felt pity for them to lose almost half popular web sites in the world. But you know, Chinese people is still happy in their “own” internet world. Look around the cyber cafes I ever walked in, every body especially the teenagers is HAPPY with all kind of PC Games, or online chat rooms. In China, who cares Twitter.com, Facebook.com anyway, LOL.
Furthermore, without the authenticate web 2.0 services web sites, our Chinese friends can easily have some similar copy-cat web sites running inside the Great FireWall. After all, ShanZhai (means imiation) is the most popular term in the Chinese Internet right now.
So, wish all the netizens around the world a happy new Year.
Just gave up my favorite Blackberry Curve 8330 and upgraded to the new Tour 9630. With excitement of having a new gadget, I had to go through some tweaks, customizations to make sure my same device use experience as the old “toy”. Here write down some useful tips and links for the future reference.
First of first, I need to backup the data from the Curve 8330. Even I have BES (Blackberry Enterprise Services) on it, I still used cable and Blackberry Desktop Manager (version 5.0.1 see the link below for the downloading) to backup all to my desktop in case the BES did not sync everything last time.
Then I need to wipe clean everything from the old one since I do not want some one else to read my funny, private or business related emails. For how-to wipe data from Curve 8330, please refer my previous post.

To use my old TV Sets to receive the Over-the-Air digital TV programs, I had to purchase a digital converter box. Combined a $40 coupon from the government, the zenith dtt901 was a very great deal. And it was very easy to set up this small box.
And I like these extra features come with this box, like tune volume, closed caption button, etc. Especially the TV Power button which can turn on/off your TV with the same digital converter box.

Got a replacement blackberry, and need to turn in the old one. I tried to clean all my personal data before I do so. But unlike the previous ones I had before. I could not find a easy way to wipe all personal data from the blackberry simply going to Option — Security.
Well, it is still easy to clean your blackberry with the newer OS version of 4.1 or later, just following the instruction below
Device Options menu, select Security Options.General Settings.Wipe Handheld.Continue, and then type blackberry .For more, check out this knowledge base http://kb.iu.edu/data/alvl.html
Finally I got the Chinese Characters display well on my BlackBerry Curve 8330 handheld from Verizon Wireless provider. Since Verizon from USA is a very special wireless service carrier who is using CDMA network technology, it is very slow for us to get some advanced features from Verizon compared with other GSM BlackBerry carriers.
Anyhow, recently I found out Verizon has its latest 4.5 OS software for the BlackBerry Curve 8330. And this new OS support Chinese and other East Asian types of font which the big reason for me to upgrade.

Not from TV, but I viewed these Commercials from TechCrunch Website. Although there were some “do not understands” on these TV commercials, but I believe Microsoft Public Relation and their hired ads. talents. Let us wait and see what the next serials of these commercials. And most of important part, both of Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld are idols to me. It is great and funny to see both of them in such long minutes commercials. Do not you think so?
I put both of the serial 1 and 2 in the post to share with you.

Since only NBC has the exclusive authorization to broadcast all Olympics 2008 games in America, and it only shows American team games at evening prime times. It is very hard to watch some interesting games at real time if they do not have American team participation and not take part in American prime time. I thought I could do it from the internet like before. But this time unfortunately the normal way of watching stream video online does not work since all official Olympics partner websites only open to China region users. That means these video sites block all overseas IP addresses from watching games live.

Challenge: Today when I tried to browser a website on my BlackBerry 8703e, it all of the sudden frozen up and then showed a white screen with "JVM Error 523" in the middle after a self-reboot.
I tried to scroll down and clicked the Reset link under the error message, but nothing happened. I could not even do a power off reset, since the Power button on the top was basically non-responsiveness.
So, I opened the back cover and took out the battery, and then I put back the battery. Yes, I could see the desktop after the boot-up and even the message of "verifying security software…". But unfortunately the blackberry immediately went back to the White Screen with the same "JVM Error 523". At that point, the device is totally useless, since none of any buttons on the blackberry was functional.

Think China is ready for International tourists in 2008 Olympics Game? Think again
. Today, I got an email forwarded by one of my co-workers with some funny pictures (as the below). It is fun to read them and of course a little sad as well. Can we be more readproof in designing these signs, or just we do not care. Have fun!

Already got back to the office, and need to return the loaned 3G phone which I used overseas. Before I gave up this cool baby, I would have to cancel the calling forward to get my phone number back to my blackberry. Since I am not good at remembering all these codes, I put them in this post for the future reference. Please be noted the codes here only for Verizon wireless provider.
To forward phone number A to phone B, use *72 + phone number B:
On the phone currently using phone number A, dial “*721234567890” and send. Here, *72 is the special code, and 1234567890 is the new phone number which accepts the forwarded calls.
To cancel the call forwarding, dial *720
To cancel the forwarding, just dial “*720” on the original forwarded phone, and that is it.
On both of the above processes, please do not forget the * sign at the beginning. And normally you will hear a continued beep sound, that is OK your request still goes through if your provider allows you to do the call forwarding(meaning you paid this service).
D@mn long line in the hall of Homeland Security and Board Protection, I missed the last flight and had to stay in Newark tonight with two babies.
