A study by research firm TNS revealed that Malaysia was at the top row on having the most friend on their social network. The research were conducted on 50,000 consumers in 46 countries based on their cyber-socializing habits. The result shows that Malaysian have in average 233 digital friend in their list while Japan have the fewest, 12 friends. Brazil follow closely at second place, 231 and Norway 217.
However, despite that, Malaysians were also the heaviest users of social networking sites, spending a nine hours per week on average communicating with their online friends. Russia came a close second, with its people spending an average 8.1 hours per week online, and Turkey third with 7.7 hours a week.
It was said that "being cyber-sociable doesn't necessarily mean you're particularly sociable in real life." Whether it is true or not, its hard to tell.

Google has announced a new image format WebP for web, which is replacing JPEG to allow web sites loading faster than before. Here is a part of the announcement :~
Most of the common image formats on the web today were established over a decade ago and are based on technology from around that time. Some engineers at Google decided to figure out if there was a way to further compress lossy images like JPEG to make them load faster, while still preserving quality and resolution. As part of this effort, we are releasing a developer preview of a new image format, WebP, that promises to significantly reduce the byte size of photos on the web, allowing web sites to load faster than before.
These are some picture in comparison between JPEG and WebP :
More picture and info here.
Looking back at how this will help to improve users experience over the web, WebP is definitely worth paying attention to.

This will be a quick post. lol. Okay ~ foursquare. I know everyone already been using it like for ages now but still, allow me. What is foursquare. hmm lets ask Wiki : -
Foursquare is a location-based social networking website, software for mobile devices. Users "check-in" at venues using a mobile website, text messaging or a device-specific application. They are then awarded points and sometimes "badges." The service was created by Dennis Crowley and Naveen Selvadurai; Crowley had previously founded the similar project Dodgeball, which Google bought in 2005 and shut down in 2009.

Notes : Following are for manga 'otaku' only. huh?
It's been a years and now, the time has come. Although we seen it coming, still its hard to process. OneManga.com, the biggest manga scanlation site is closing down for good this week. These action was a follow-up from a movement by a group of Japanese manga publishers in order to fight unauthorized online manga distribution over the internet. Look like they really into it.
Piracy? hmm let see, well yeah i think so. But what can we do. I personally open One Manga like everytime i open up my browser, which is if it is bought will definitely cost a thousand and thousand worth of money already. Can't resist, cause it's way to long to wait for the official release and quote "free also". Now its backfired me like "padan muka" in Malay for getting use to much to get free stuff.
We can't blame them, definitively. If we do really eat manga, we are bind to support the mangaka for their great work and feeding us with all these wonderful manga. Should be thankful to them. Moreover, all this site got income revenue from ads and some even has a membership fees. Yes, their should get all the right.
Here is a good bye note from One Manga.
But not to worry, seems there is some effort made to this manga host illegally where user could view translated manga online and many other scanlations that still run. As for OneManga, thanks so much.To all its moderator, editor, scanner, translator and all the staff. Thank you for the hard work all this time. you all have been a great online companionship, which i think, The best.
