kafaakBlog – นานาสาระกับนายกาฝาก

ช่วงนี้เริ่มรู้สึกอยากลงทุนให้เงินที่มีมันงอกเงยบ้างอะไรบ้าง (สงสัยจะแก่แล้ว) ประกอบกับวันนี้เพิ่งทำเรื่องยื่นภาษีไปหมาดๆ (เสียดายภาษีจริงๆ เมื่อเห็นว่าภาษีของผมจะโดนเอาไปทำอะไรบ้าง … เอิ่ม … อยากขอให้มีโอกาสติ๊กเลือกได้ไหม ว่าเงินภาษีของผมเอาไว้ทำอะไร … อยากเลือกให้ไปพัฒนาปรับปรุงระบบขนส่งมวลชนจริงๆ)

ผมเป็นพวกไม่นิยมความเสี่ยงเท่าไหร่ (พยายามจะปรับสันดานตัวเองอยู่ ให้ยอมรับความเสี่ยงบ้างอะไรบ้าง) ดังนั้นถ้าไม่ใช่ไปซื้อสลากออมสิน ก็เลือกจะฝากออมทรัพย์หรือฝากประจำแทน … แต่เชื่อว่าทุกท่านคงจะรู้จักกับธนาคารในรูปแบบใหม่ ที่โฆษณากันโครมคราม และเพิ่งจะเจอแฮกหน้าเว็บไปหมาดๆ จนผมมาตั้งกระทู้ถามในบล็อกของผมไปแล้ว วันนี้ผมว่าฤกษ์งามยามดีนะ ผมจะลองมาเล่าสู่กันอ่าน ในฐานะที่เข้าไปเป็นลูกค้าของ ME by TMB บ้างครับ

App ที่เป็นกระแสอยู่ ณ ปัจจุบันนี้ คงไม่มีตัวไหนดังไปกว่า Simsimi แล้ว เห็นออกข่าวกันให้เพียบ

ลองค้นใน Google ดูจะเห็นว่ามีคนเขียนถึงเยอะมาก ทั้งที่บอกว่ามันคืออะไร และข่าวที่ว่ากระทรวงวัฒนธรรม และ ICT กำลังเป็นห่วงเรื่องคำหยาบที่แพร่ระบาดหนัก

แต่คำถามที่คาใจผมมากกว่า คือ … Simsimi มันอ่านว่าอะไร (วะ) เพราะข่าวมี 2 กระแส บ้างบอกว่า ซิม-ซิม-อิ บ้างก็บอกว่า ซิม-ซิ-มิ … เอากะมันดิ

ใครจะตอบคำถามนี้ไปได้ดีกว่าคนที่พัฒนา App โดยตรงละจริงไหม? ผมเห็นมีอีเมล์ส่งหาทีม Support ของผู้พัฒนา Simsimi ก็เลยจัดไป 1 ฉบับ แต่มาตอนหลังนึกได้ว่า แล้วทำไมตูไม่ถามคนเกาหลีเลยล่ะ ใกล้ๆ ตัวก็มีตั้งหลายคน ก็เลยส่งอีเมล์ไปถามครูชาวเกาหลีท่านหนึ่งอีกฉบับแทน

In my country, Thailand, Samsung Galaxy Nexus received a warm welcome from Thai users. I don’t know how many have been sold, but I heard it was a lot.

The first time I had my hands on Galaxy Nexus was when I attended Samsung Galaxy Note World Tour last year. I was very excited. But, what’s so exciting about it? Because it’s Nexus!

As many of Android users may already know, the Nexus family is the official Android smartphone from Google which guarantee that the OS can be updated to the latest version.

It’s a new year and I spent a couple of days sorting my olf stuff and I found this, Compaq PResario B1900 series laptop. 4 years ago it was the main machine I use everyday. It has Intel® Core 2 Duo 1.66GHz with 2GB of RAM and 160GB of HDD. But I hardly use it now as several of its components worn off over time. Wireless Card is not functioning anymore (as you can see that I have to use SMC USB wireless dongle). LCD broke and instead of paying $3000 to fix it at HP service center, I paid $250 at a repair shop in my neighbourhood. It’s fixed but the backlight can no longer be turned off. Well, that’s fine with me. Battery life is out of question. It’s 4 year-old. Now, it can’t live without AC power.

Now I have to decice whether to trash it or try to find a way to use it for something. Then, I come up with the idea. Why don’t I try to use it as a media server at my home? Lately, almost everyone in my family has got personal tablet (both iPad and Android). It would be nice to have the media server that can stream movies or TV shows on demand to any tablets or smartphones in my home. More importantly, the setup must not be complicated.

Guys! This is my last post for the year 2011. I wish you all the best for the coming year 2012. Worry not. The world is not going to come to an end soon. Earth has been around for billion of years and will be around for billion of years, I believe. However, let’s just spend your last day of the year like it’s the last day of your life! Party!!!!

Next year is going to be a tough year as I just start blogging on my own domain instead of kafaak.wordpress.com. To attract more audiences, I decide to do blogging in both Thai and English. And as you may already know, not every post will be available in both languages. I will do my best to make all of my review in both languages, though. Instead of having 2-3 episodes per device, I will just sum them up in one English episode per dvice. Some contents will be available only in English. Please support me by inviting your friends to visit my site.

Steve Jobs claimed that 3.5-inch screen is the best-fit for anyone hands. That’s the main reason why iPhone always has that screen size. However, Android smartphone makers think differently (and I do agree with them in my blog: When Size Does Matter). When it comes to screen size, Android smartphones come with choices. Lately, we can see the trend that high-end Android smartphone tends to have large screen size ranged from 4 inches to 5.3 inches. HTC is the first to jump into this large-screen trend and its latest product, HTC Sensation XL, is going to get my review.

The latest Intelligence Report from Symantec shows that spam in email showed the decrease 3.7%. It’s now 70.5% of all the email sent.

Does this mean spam is dying? I’d say “no”. Although the figure shows that spam emails are decreasing, it’s still 1 in every 1.42 emails, according to Symantec.

Another factor that leads to decrease in spam email is the rise of social networking. More and more people communicate via social media services such as Twitter, Facebook, Google+, etc. Posts in these social media could reach more people in less time. We want to do more with less, so do spammers. Now spammers lay their eyes on popular social networking sites. As you can see from the attack Facebook got last month. You can expect more and more to come in 2012.

We do celebrate Christmas in Thailand as well, although most of us just recovered from flood crisis that last from October to early this month. Many are still suffering from flooding.

I found this amazing Christmas tree at my neighbourhood. It’s made of sandbags (you know, we use sandbag to protect our houses from water).

I appreciate that my house was not affected by flood and I am symphatized with those who are affected. But we just can’t keep feeling down.

On Saturday I went to a famous market called “Don Wai” . It was still flood there but the merchants learn to live with it. Yes, life must go on.

As I state clearly in my blog that size does matter, Samsung offer a variety of choices for its tablet screen size. People may think that Galaxy Tab 10.1 or 8.0 is a nice tablet (personally, I like 8.9” screen size), but many will think they are too big to carry arround. Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 (the original one) is said to had been shipped 2 million units, according to Samsung announcement in January (well, that’s the old record, I know. But it’s the latest figure I can find on Google). The popularity of Galaxy Tab 7 is due to the fact that it’s best-fit for many hands and is light weight and thus make it easy to carry arround. Now that the device is in my hands, I will take you a tour to the 2^nd Generation of the device many people love.

Got this from Computerworld.com and thought that it’s worth sharing with you guys here. Year 2012 is coming closer and closer. Many of you may already get your annual bonus and some of you, perhaps, are planning on changing job. Don’t be shy. This is very normal.

Computerworld do an annual Forecast survey with IT executives in the U.S. This year they found that nearly 29% said they are going to increase IT staffing through summer. But they will not just hire anyone, and these 9 skills are said to be in demand.
