Wireless credit cards by JP Morgan

Contactless cards are going mainstream in USA. Sounds cool. In Japan, you can even pay for stuff with your mobile. And in Malaysia, there's also the Visa Wave cards where you just wave and pay.


| Visa made the technology available earlier this spring and today J. P. Morgan Chase announced that it will be one of the first issuers of the new credit cards under the nomenclature "blink." Morgan intends to issue "millions" according to a J. P. Morgan spokesperson.

While there is no ceiling on the dollar amount of a purchase you can make using a contactless card, purchases up to $25 do not even require a signature.

Perhaps in order to avoid interference with your wireless phone, your WiFi handheld and the wireless RFID chip in your sweater, the cards do require a buyer to be no more than four inches away from the wireless reader. |

Kendra Todd - Winner of Apprentice Season 3

Kendra Todd


NEW YORK (May 20) - Donald Trump selected Kendra Todd as his first female ''Apprentice,'' handing her a job with his organization and a $250,000 salary at the close of the NBC reality show's live finale Thursday night.

''I couldn't be happier,'' Todd told The Associated Press after her win. ''I was the girl who used to watch this on television and here I am. Dreams do come true. Just work hard and you'll get there.''

Todd, the 26-year-old ''book smarts'' real estate broker from Boynton Beach, Fla., bested ''street smarts'' entrepreneur and mother of two Tana Goertz during the final boardroom battle.

Goertz, 37, of Des Moines, didn't go down without a fight. She assertively pointed out in front of the live audience that a winning idea for a round Pontiac brochure during one of the tasks was her idea although Todd was the task's project manager.

''I thought it was a little much,'' Trump said of Goertz's self-acknowledgment. ''I don't mind aggression in men or women, but I found it to be a little obnoxious. I didn't love it.''

Todd said she had been expecting Goertz to bring up the brochure.

''I was pretty sure that was going to happen,'' Todd said. ''Believe me, I had my strategies in line. I knew everything that they might come at me with. I am a team player. I give credit where credit is due. ... (But) certainly there's more to a brochure than just the shape.''

In episodes leading up to the live finale, Todd organized the Best Buy Video Game Championship during her final task, pleasing both corporate sponsors and her misfit team of firees. Todd, who was a member of ''book smarts'' Magna team, has an undergraduate degree in linguistics from the University of Florida.

Todd won't have to go too far from home for her new job. She chose developing a mansion in Palm Beach, Fla., over working on the Miss Universe pageant. Trump said he'd like Todd to train under his adviser Carolyn Kepcher at the Trump National Golf Club in Briarcliff Manor, N.Y., for a few months before tackling the Palm Beach mansion.

Roamdrive - Use Gmail as a file server

This is cool. I wonder how come I never came across it. Someone in UK pointed me to it today.

RoamDrive is an application that allows you to store data in your GMail (or Hotmail/MSN) e-mail account. Unlike GMail Drive, you can not mount this as a hard drive, but there is no 40 character file name limit or 10MB file size limit.

Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith leak

Piracy news. What's new ? Just read about this on CNN.

| "Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith" has been leaked onto a major file-sharing network just hours after opening in theaters, at a time when Hollywood is increasingly concerned about online piracy. |

So I started my Emule P2P software, did a search and found about 10 files for the movie above in AVI format. Hmm....do you want to save some bucks watching low def cinema-quality copies of the movie ? Not me. I'm gonna catch it this Sat.

May the force and $$ be with U.

Blog of the Year 2005

Just added my blog to the list of Malaysian BlogOfTheYear 2005 List. Crossing my fingers so that I may win for 5 mins of fame.

I won 2 Million Euros in a Lottery

I just got an email stating that I won 2 million Euros. That means I can now retire and buy an island somewhere in the remote corners of the South China Sea. NOT !

I've read about this type of Lottery scams in the papers a few times already and I'm not an internet-virgin. So I don't fall for this type of scam so easily. My first taste of internet came when I was working as a shop assistant back in 1996 and Jaring had just launched their pioneer Internet dial-up service in Malaysia. So that shows how much I've seen/read on the NET. SHeesh.... This scammers can't even send decently formatted emails. Only a fool would get caught. See below for the email sample. Looks like it was send from relay2.doubleclick.net
