New Item on the shelf: Budget Photo Album

My life seems a bit busy recently due to more confirmed projects. Meanwhile I'm also offered with some co-operative business opportunity: Budget Photo Album.

FYI, client can select the desired photos and save it in CD/DVD or thumb drive for later editing. Of cource for best results, the photos should be taken in high quality display ratio. So far there is no much involvement from client side on the design part based on current arrangement as all the decision is made by the artist who perform the editing. Thus I've managed to discussed with the business owner and he agreed to allow clients to perform some basic template selection.

Meanwhile I'll proceed with snapping some display photos on the album sample & will post it shortly at this blog & the company's website soon. Those who are interested can contact me for further info.

Fake & Real Facebook Login Page: Do spread the news

Notice the top pic is the fake login page, the bottom is the real page (according to the news)

Just received a post from a friend at Facebook where news stated there are fake Facebook login page with very close similarity tend to confuse users.

According to the news, the fake page will obtain user's detail on user name & password (aka phishing). This info allows the criminal to access user's account, change settings and pretend as user him/herself & perform potential crime or fraud. Such act will cause user lose access to their account forever & accused on things they didn't do.

I hereby hope those who read this post to act more caution in future & spread this info to others for public benefit. Below is the Chinese version of the news (copied from Facebook post):

最受欢迎的社交网站Facebook证实有黑客将矛头对准它的用户群骗取他们的密码。

黑客使用网钓(Phishing)的手法，模范Facebook网站的设计设立了冒牌Facebook网站，骗取用户输入自己的密码。在获取密码后，黑客就可登录用户的Facebook账号，然后再将这个冒牌Facebook网站的连接发送给其他的朋友再进一步骗取他们的密码。就这样一传十，十传百的传播开来。

有鉴于此，Facebook 决定采取行动，一旦发现形迹可疑的账号(例如发送大量讯息给其他朋友等等)就会向用户确认身份。如果发现账号已经被黑客所控制，甚至会终止账号。除此之外，Facebook 发言人也劝告用户必须时时小心，确保自己所登录的是真正的Facebook网站才输入密码。

What I might Buy in PC Fair

PC Fair, a common term for all IT fans in Malaysia which held 3 times yearly where you have the chance to obtain some good IT offers. Some said the local fair is nothing but a chance for manufacturer to obtain cash by selling not so advance tools, yet you might get what you want within your budget. Although it used to be very crowded, I still like to pay visit when I'm free. 

The next PC Fair event should be held on April 2010 and will be a 3 days function as usual. So what might be the good bargain you can get? Let me comprise my favourite here:

1. Notebook / Netbook

Most of the participating notebook manufacturers offer attractive deal like new model with advance features & extended warranty period. If you plan to buy a notebook @ netbook, don't miss this chance.

2. LCD / LED Monitor

The price offered might not differ much, but chances you might get more freebies where you are not offered usually. The only drawback is you need to carry the big box & walk the distance......

3. Speaker set with sub Woofer

All the branded manufacturers display their products at the dedicated corner with extreme loud boom boom sound...... For the sake of your ears, make sure you don't spend too much time there :)

4. Antivirus

Promotions offered target on group users such as family pack which consists 3-5 users with low price.

5. Data Storage Device (Thumb drive, flash card, mobile hard disk etc.)

Some brands offer simple contest & lucky draw.

6. Digital Camera

Attractive offer with low price & lots of useful freebies, eg. memory card, spare battery, tripod......

Of course there are other accessories with low price as well, so make wise choice & enjoy shopping!

Great Mission Accomplished: Recover Unbootable Windows 7

Just received a PC unit which unable to start last Sunday night. Based on the info provided, my initial thought was the graphic card might be causing problem. However after detailed inspection, it seems the system can start up till BIOS then remain black. 

That means several possibilities: The PC might be virus infected, the Windows 7 is crashed (coz can't even enter safe mode), the boot up segment is corrupted. After isolate chances of hardware faulty, I proceed with caution as Windows 7 is still very new & I believe not many has on hand experience on handling such case. 

After 2 days of technical research & attempt, the system is finally back to normal with all data & files remain intag (the just rectified unit is still next to me when I wrote this post). However I must admit the remedy process took hours & is a hassle journey. To keep it short, it requires you to have a Password Reset Tool as the system was locked after corrupted (lucky still able to access), a Recovery Tool to generate new start file, and finally Windows 7 Repair Tool to run a detail repair sequence.

So next time if anyone of you need my help on similar situation, do let me know (Charges may be applied though :) )
