It is rumored that Apple is going to release a totally new product line they’ve never made before: 42 and 50 inches Plasma HDTV, which will cost only $25.99 and $32.99 dollars.

Every time I handle EtBr I feel headache
I think I am having some kind of psycological problems with EtBr. Every time I handle them, like the gel, I kind of worry too much, or I am just being really careful. And this might have some intense effects on my nerves. Usually after the work I feel headache. Kind of like when I… Continue reading Every time I handle EtBr I feel headache

Want to curse anyone or anything? Use the word “communism”
Americans and maybe some other people from maybe European countries love to use “communism” to name anything related to…something they consider bad. By bad, I mean maybe something about censorship, restriction of some sort of freedom or anything else. Suddenly I feel that I can call America communism country and Bush the leader of communists.… Continue reading Want to curse anyone or anything? Use the word “communism”
Will no longer buy music on iTunes now
I will no longer buy music on iTunes unless I have no other choice, and until iTunes offer multiple choices of bitrate. 128kps AAC is definitely probably even better than 192kps MP3 (maybe just better than 160kps LAME encoded MP3). However 128kps is not good enough for classical music. And actually Allofmp3.com is the best… Continue reading Will no longer buy music on iTunes now
Together by 陈凯歌，B+
Together (2003) Directed by Chen Kaige Actually I was considering A-. Anyway I could have seen this movie a long time ago when I was in college. However it is until today I finally watched it.

V-Max WordPress theme now developing
Vitamin-max.com is now developing a theme called V-Max based on WordPress 1.5 default theme. Some basic changes to the default theme have been added. The same as Ricebowl icon, this theme would try to be clean and simple. Complicated effects would probably not be added in the future.
Alias Season 5 Will be the Last Season
The first two seasons of Alias is simply great. However, starting from season 3 it is getting worse. Maybe JJ Abrams spent more time on Lost, which makes Lost the number one show. Now they have announce that season 5 will be the last season of Alias. TV.com has an interesting article about how Alias… Continue reading Alias Season 5 Will be the Last Season
The 4400 Season 2 finale
The 4400 Season 2 finale is a brilliant example of how season finale should be. Although Lost season 1 finale is also great, the 4400 leaves much more room for the show to develop. Well, sounds like over 4000 X-men! And next season? I don’t know. But I know one thing for sure, with good… Continue reading The 4400 Season 2 finale

Why there is no freedom of the press in the United States.
Oh, yes, there is freedom of press in the United States. It is just biased or has double standard. CNN is the main news source of many American people. However it cannot provide you a complete view of the world. I will demonstrate this point with these following: 1. Let’s take a look at CNN’s… Continue reading Why there is no freedom of the press in the United States.
Word of Warcraft Configuration on PowerBook
In order to play World of Warcraft smoothly on PowerBook or iBook, you need to tweak the configuration a little bit to get the best results. Besides basic system requirement, I suggest you have at least 512+256M RAM. I have 1.25G myself and no problem at all, if just talking about memory. So you need… Continue reading Word of Warcraft Configuration on PowerBook

M$ battling Google with “innovation”?
One of the funniest thing I have ever heard today is that Ballmer, the “Windows, Windows, Windows” and “Developer, Developer, Developer” shouting guy, said that Microsoft is going to compete with Google by the old-fashioned way: with innovation. He said: Microsoft is “at the beginning of 12 months of the greatest innovation pipeline we have… Continue reading M$ battling Google with “innovation”?
Buy Video on iTunes!
I have tried to buy an episode of Desperate Housewives on iTunes music store and it works just fine. Although the resolution is only 320*240 which is a little bit small, it looks not quite bad when I use double size. But full screen is bad…if I am watching it with notebook and sit really… Continue reading Buy Video on iTunes!
