Buying car…

 Hope to bring a car back to Malaysia after I graduate in Japan end of 2008. Have been searching for a good car since few weeks ago…first thought of getting Honda Oddysey, but found the model to be the old type (year 2003/2004 model), and costs around 1.2~1.5 million yens. After adding shaken and changing name fee, it might need extra 300,000 yens. Hmm…total 1.8 mils, not what I want to pay.

Now my target switched to Toyota WISH. Quite a nice car, though initially I do not like it. Toyota is a very good brand in Japan (worldwide too), and many Japanese like Toyota car. Hence, price of used Toyota isn’t exactly cheap in Japan. I searched online, and found the price of what I plan to get is around 1.3 millions yens. Adding processing fee, maybe around 1.4 millions. Hope to be able to get one that has valid shaken till end of 2008, then I do not need to pay extra money for 2 years shaken, which I will not be using 2 years and wasted money.

I will try search around for a good condition Toyota Wish. If God permits, I am sure He will prepare a most suitable one for me.

Nokia has always cater and not forgetting the HIGH END market of handphone users. I am sure there are many millions and billionaires out there that would want to have a handphone that is NOT affordable by the general public.

Handphone has been an everyday life NECESSARY for most. Even Apple has realized this and put their hands into the BIG CAKE market. Steve Jobs said he just need 1% of the mobile phone market, which is equivalent to 10 millions units.

Back to the Nokia Gold news…

Nokia has unveiled the Nokia 8800 Sirocco Gold - a bold and prestigious new style statement. Encased in luxurious 18-carat gold plating, the precisely crafted Nokia 8800 Sirocco Gold combines timeless design with contemporary flair, resulting in an exclusive display of personal style and elegance. A sirocco is a strong wind, originating in the sun-bathed Sahara desert and travelling all the way to the Mediterrean. This blending of the strength and sensual beauty of nature is the inspiration for the extire Nokia 8800 Sirocco line.

Combining its heritage of highly desired communication devices with stunning organic designs derived from surfaces found in nature, the Nokia 8800 Sirocco Gold pays artful attention to the smallest details and selection of materials. A stunning achievement of craftsmanship, fine white gold accents enhance the 18-carat gold plating while the sapphire-coated, scratch-resistant glass display helps to ensure that the beauty of the Nokia 8800 Sirocco Gold endures.

Intel new processor 40% faster!

Just read about the news on Intel new processor which will be coming out end of this year that is going to be 40% faster than the current processor.

Intel Corp. said a new line of computer processors due out later this year will be about 40 percent faster than current chips when running computer games, videos and other heavy workloads. The world’s biggest microchip maker, which powers about 75 percent of computers, said the new Penryn processors will have the same basic design as current ones, but the circuitry will be 30 percent thinner — just 45 millionths of a millimeter wide.

“In high-performance computing and bandwidth intensive applications … there will be up to a whopping 45 percent performance increase,” said Patrick Gelsinger, the general manager for Intel’s digital enterprise group. The Penryn would be the world’s first 45 nanometer processor, Gelsinger said at the Intel Developer Forum in Beijing on Tuesday. The new processors will hit the market later this year, but Gelsinger did not provide a timeline.

In a prototype Penryn chip with four processing cores, that translated into 40 percent faster performance in computer games and video processing, while more mundane tasks such as image processing ran about 15 percent faster, Gelsinger said.
