Friday the 13th 2009

March 13th, 2009

It’s March 13, 2009 and guess what, it’s friday the 13th.

Well, I don’t believe in superstitions but I have some “unlucky” stories to blog today.

A friend and a collegue was shocked today after checking his website and found out that his Google Adsense has been disabled.

Too bad he hasn’t receive his 3 digit pay from google from his two years of google ads.

Well, one word for your visitors bro
Don’t click his adsense:)

Apparently, I have my own “unlucky” moment today.
I wasn’t able to do one task today, breaking my three consecutive success. (Maybe I can call this moment, suck-cess)

Well, life is life…

Hakuna Matata guys.

Currently, I’m playing with Hackintosh a.k.a. OSX86 the Mac OS X installed on a PC. As of now, I’m successful in installing one in a D946GZIS Intel Motherboard, Dual Core Pentium CPU. But still need some fix on driver issues, right now I’m desperate configuring its NIC which is an Intel PRO 100 VE. With two 512 DDR2 Rams and a GEFORCE 7300 GT 256 DDR, its nice to know it’s running smoothly. I will post more in my venture to the hackintosh world.

Xbox 360 Disc Scratch Replacement Program

March 3rd, 2009

Xbox 360 Disc Replacement Program

While reading some websites, articles, youtube videos regarding disc scratching on Xbox 360. I found this on http://support.xbox.com regarding their Disc Replacement Program.

But still, it is not satisfying to know that you have to pay your replacement disc if you apply the program. I mean, c’mon you bought your 100% original disc then get scratched by your very own gaming console unit.

Here are some lab (and conventional living room environment test) that the xbox 360 really scratch disc even on its standard operating state.
