Expose and Space

Is the new feature I tried to explore last week with my MBP.
And it is whole lot of fun when you get the hang of it.

Something to take note about Expose and spaces...
Most guidebooks and webpage say "use F8 and F9" to call out the function...
But in actual fact you need to add the FN button to F8 and F9 to achieve the effect as the recent models of MBP used F8 and F9 keys as "play" and "Forward" shortkey for your media players.
I only learn about this after reading through information online that discuss about short keys.
If not most guide websites will not mention this.

Can you imagine how the world will end?

First of all, to discuss about the end of the world does not mean I believe in God.

As RS casually commented that I finally believe in end of the world..implying believe in God. Which I am annoyed by the implication because natural science was not respected and so is FREE THINKING...at the same time human ability to speculate and think is unfairly ignored.

The end of the world is a hypothesis derive from observation of present situation of how human activities are causing damage to Earth...and some other freak accidents... that could be the ultimate cause to the end of the world.

1. Climate upheaval. Freak weathers that kills millions...
Eg. Earthquakes and Tsunamis, volcanoes eruption.

2. Environmental contamination.
Air pollutions, Food contamination, Pesticide poisoning...

3. Religious Killing.
ANY KIND OF RELIGION divides people.
Because when you are A...then someone else who is not will be NON-A.
This will cause discrimination, division and suppression.
People who are A will think they are the only truth...and forces Non-A to comply.
WAR.

4. Viral attack.
Human flu, avian flu, ebola...biological warfare....

5. Used up resources.
Not enough fuel, food.

6. Cosmic accident.
Some stones from galaxy hit earth.

7. NANO-tech achieve perfect nano-asemmblers and disassemmbler...
And could reduce earth to GRAY GOO state....in 72 hours.

I can't predict when it will occur...
But I have a mix feeling about whether if i want to see it happen in my life time...
Not as if i can decide...
Just something for a thought.

By the way...

Did you see the promotion for the old Mac book pro!
*@$^^&%%#$@%^%@!!?!
It is $170 cheaper now...

But what to do...
technology is just going to be cheaper and faster by days..
And we just have to buy one when we need one.

And so I can't wait...

Wait till 4 or 5 years later when i get my hands on a more powerful and cheaper baby...

In 4 years time...
2012...
Will be the time when Moore's theory speculated that
computer tech will reach it's limit at atomic level...
By then....
I wonder what interesting thing will happen to info technology.
Till then...

Will be the time for my next computer.
I look forward...
And BEYOND!

Let the world past me by...

Finally, my big brother has grown up
to become a person who knows how to apreciate simplicity in life...
As so...he might argue...he was like that in the past as well...
But he was much more ambitious like a headless fly in the past.
Now, he learns to enjoy simple life.

And me, I will always morn over my wasted 3 years in Singapore since 2005.
I have wasted my youth here thinking I will find a way here.
As time goes by,
It seems...either i find a job and be like all other singaporean...
Or leave.

I love singapore.
Unlike how my brother hates her...
I love her...my motherland.

But Singapore has fail to give me the environment I needed.
I will leave when I can.
As soon as I can...

Meanwhile, I will morn over my wasted days, months and years here...
I should have been more ambitious...
But I know myself...I never will be.

For that is me.
Maybe simple life is really what i need...
But freedom does comes with a price tag...
Like what my brother say...

And life...
You gain something...you lost some...
While i morn over the lost of my 3 years in singapore...
I can only say...
I have enough rest here for the past 3 years as well.
And enough means enough.

Time to move on.
