The Lake House (2006) from WB

From TV ad again, Surprisely, The Lake House is the new movie that will release June 16, 2006. Oh! very soon!! I can't wait to watch now. Anyway, at first, I don't know what this movie is either; however, the ad showed enough informations for me to realize that is mimic of il mare, one of my favorite, I means that il mare is very emotional romantic movie and sure, it's all about love.

It's pretty exciting to wait to watch old brand new movie esp, the one you really liked. Honestly, I don't expect The Lake House would be better than il mare, I don't think american could make romantic movie as good as asian do. Eventhough I'm asian, but il mare is korean, so I don't get that like a native so. I think it's fair enough for me to compare both of them. Will see how much Keenu Reeves and Sandra Bullock spell the scroll of love through the mail box.

Whether you get about love or not, what I'm pretty sure of is you will charm with fully romance through the film named "il Mare". Don't miss!

take back to the fully emotional film for a while..






ps. Anyway, one thing that I'm not to feel good about this is I can not watch this movie with the one I want to.

New MSN 8 beta

Windows Live Messenger or MSN version 8.0 released for a while. Someone said it's pretty cool interface, someone said it's so suck, darned slow.

Anyway, I won't talk about that. Because today, I received the alert from MSN to update a new BETA version. I have no choice, it's not gonna worse than this one. that's all I know. It took pretty long to finish downloading and installing progression, comparing w/G-Talk. (absolute difference, right?)

After completed all procedures, Main program is look so guady, flashy to me. I don't know why microsoft want to make it look like this. I prefered the way G-talk did, just simple, fast, adequate. Maybe I'm a minority.

One thing that I found it's more pragmatic, that is, merge a consecutive conversion together like most of chat-clients. It uses space more efficient than they did before. I hope microsoft might have started to change their perspective. That'll be the best news, if it's real.

Using Treo as palm plus phone or just a sophisticated phone and decoration

Yesterday, I went to Atlanta airport to pick someone. The interesting things in an airport is there are many treo users and risible story about how they used treo.

First, a guy with a treo on his belt. When I first saw him, treo still opened, keyboard light on and palm original headset is connected in his ear. I'm not sure what program was opening. Anyway, when he wanna make a phone call, he pick another phone in his pant pocket, that is, surprisely Nokia 5130 body-like, I'm not sure but it's grayscale screen, and make a phone call! -_-! What about treo he has? Unfortunately, it seem like his call has a problem, so he pick a treo and open phone program and use via touch screen only!! And make a phone call with an old phone again! What?!?

According to my own opinion, treo has a significant advantage in one-hand operation but, as you can see, he didn't even use that! Otherwise, I imply that he didn't have any 3rd party program in order not to turn keyboard light off in that circumstance, enough lumen to see anything clearly.

One question is "Is Treo not easy or comfortable enough for everyone to make a call as Nokia 5130?"

Second, pretty women's time. It's not ridiculous as the first one but it showed the same idea of how they used treo in a uncomfortable way. I think her age should be around 40. She always held treo w/leather case in her hand. When she used, first she did is picked up stylus, after that she tried to stare at treo screen, like a people who has not very well vision, and tap and tap on screen for a while, then she acts as calling someone. :-D that's all, she just tried to make a phone call! OH! What a one-hand operation? NO! None of them used that feature. Why? It should be a good question.

It's just a funny story while waiting for an arrival of my friends.

Realphone handset?!?

That's an first ad on TV which makes me smile, amaze, and laugh at the same time even I was under stressful at that time. I don't know how they can think this product and which group that they target. It seems funny to me to have a big handset like that instead of a little one.

Ok, we have to take a look about this stuff for some reasons, that is, how good or advantage it is. That's really important to convince an audience to feel the same way we want. This handset was juxtaposed with a cellphone, flip-style. They claimed that using the cellphone can caused your ear hurt or pain as a worse design or not as good as other ergonomic stuff. Anyway, the old brand handset is really built suitably for your ear and for talking; that's why they just uses that handset without changing anything. I don't know whether it pursuade audiences or not but it's absolutely catch me when I glimpsed of TV that opens to keep my room not too quiet. 555 Firstly I thought about how can they think like this, it's too big! It should be like a small headset to connect a home phone, not in contrary like this. Next, I'm wondering about the target of this product, it's not as easy as selling the exercise or cooking products because people who mostly watch TV should be housekeepers that already have a phone, a home phone. Why they have to pay more to talk via a cellphone that charges airtime pretty expensive. I can't imagine when I see someone use this kind of handset; it should be really hilarious for sure.

Anyway, it's $19.99 per each, but if you buy it now, you'll get second one for free ;-P

Is that catch yours?!? 

Complain about GRE or any standardize test

My experience while I was taking a GRE General Test.

I was frustrated by a user interface and technical problem that noone cares about it... I already sent feedback about technical problem that I met... it said..

"When I went to a computer that I had to take an exam, I found that it used CRT monitor and its refresh rate's so bad. I think its less than 65 Hz for sure. It's not good at all for everyone's eyes, I saw it blink always, so annoyed me. I think you should set a requirement for refresh rate setting of computer that uses for a test at 75Hz at least or changing to LCD to avoid this problem. Thank you."

I expect to see a progress or reply for this problem because not only annoyed anyone who take that test but also show that the standard test team didn't see technical problem is their problem at all!!! What do you think if you take a paper-based test in a dim room! it's the same problem that happened w/me now.

Result: They reply me within 3 or 4 days.

>> Hmm.. Apologize!! and so what? Is it important? But I seem like they have a internet-based feedback just for apologize! -_-' It's pretty darned good! What if I call them, and get a response just only "we apologize our inconvenience." and that's it!.. Is it worth? or Is it really feedback to make it better?? or just make it to avoid breaking a law.

Another problem is who designed this test user interface...?? What's their purpose? They want me to just click next! (or proceed) and answer the question. That's all?? What about time organize? In my opinion, in a test, it should has a outline.... and easy to say where we are or what I have to do next! like this

- Part I: Writing analysis (45 min)
• no1.
• no2.
- Part II: Mathematical analysis (45min)
• no1.
• no2.
•...
• no28.
- Part III: Verbal (45 min)
• no1.
• no2.
•...
• no36.

and when we passed.. it should has a check (/) sign in front of it or something like that especially I think student should have a choice to choose which part they wanna take first.... anyway, I don't agree about we can not review that we already passed!! It doesn't make any sense because all we have is time that can limit what we are doing.

Oh, .... another thing that make me antsy is TIME Button... it's just to turn on/off time, isn't it? If yes, why they did show as "TIME on/off" to make it clear!. I think at least they should show some details instead of time!! for example,

"0:45 mins left in Part I: Writing Analysis! ---> 1 of 2" instead of only "0:45" ~!.

I know it sounds crazy but I don't think all of these suppose to be one of factor that reflects in how score we get! That's all!!

U*blog

Another way to post a blog from treo, besides sending via e-mail that can make some advertisement in post and we have to delete or edit it again.. U*Blog
