My first post to spread awareness about printing habit is an instant hit. It become of one of the top post in this blog. The ‘Please Consider the environment before printing this email’ campaign is campaign to remind people not to print unless it is absolute necessary to do that. The campaign itself has spread to the whole world, and it can be seen on email more often that before.
If you still unsure how to setup that signature, head to ThinkBeforePrint.org. They have dedicated web page with an easy and better way to have that signature in your email or web page on their . Check out their guide and together we make our world a greener place to live forever.
So finally after months of rumors and speculation, Blackberry Storm 2 officially unveiled by RIM. This is the first official video by RIM to show what Storm 2 has to offer. Pstt.. it has WIFI.
These videos recorded to demonstrate the speed of Celcom EDGE network, when it is use to browse internet using Blackberry Curve 8520 hand held. From here, you’ll would know if the speed is suffice to influence in getting one for yourself.
Forgive me for the bad quality video, taken from iPhone 2G.
Performance may vary depend on various factors such as location, coverage, type of website you’re loading and etc. On both test, I’m keep the default setup without any tweaking.
In the first video, I use Techmeme.com as the sample, simply because it is one of the website that I visit frequently before.
It took 23 seconds before you can start seeing the web page to load and it is completely loaded in 42 seconds. For comparison, using my notebook run on Wifi (streamyx), Techmeme.com loaded in less than 9 seconds.
Move on to the second video, I choose Google.com as the sample which also the default search engine in the browser. This test to shown how fast Google return the result upon query.
Google has massive resources that powers its search engine from behind, and you can expect the page to load faster than the previous video.
Using ‘Blackberry’ as the search term, the page completely loaded in 17 seconds.
What I’m trying to show in this testing is, different websites with different resources, will return different outcome. Other factors such as the existence of multimedia such as Flash, Silverlight should be factored as well.
So what do you think about Celcom EDGE network? Fast? Slow?
I’m pretty much satisfied with the speed, although sometime I wish that it could go faster, but the lack of 3G support dampen the hope. Anybody else has run similar testing? Mind share your experience?
You sure don’t want to miss this 2 useful ‘Bob’ Gmail lab plugin. It’s there to assist you selecting the accurate email recipients list whenever you’re composing an email.
Don’t forget Bob – Once you pick some email recipients, Gmail suggests more people you might want to include based on the groups of people you email most often. – Unlike Outlook where we can create distribution list to include the list of email address, Gmail does not have that feature. You tend to memorize the email address, or list down it somewhere else. This is where this lab came in handy, it will remind you to include the list of people that met condition described above, in case you missed them.
Got the wrong Bob? – Doh, have you ever addressed an email too quickly, and included Bob (your boss) instead of Bob (your friend) by accident? If you’re emailing more than two people at once, Gmail will check if you meant to include Bob Smith rather than Bob Jones based on the groups of people you email most often. – I bet you have experienced this before, I just wish Outlook to have this feature as well!
Both Gmail lab plugin has to be enabled before it can be used. From within GMail, go to Setting >> Lab and looks for the plugin name above.
I came across a tweet pic showing the Celcom Broadband pricing update. It still not official though. An attempt to check the price in Celcom website failed, because the website apparently unavailable until this post posted.
