(Everyone's name in this post have been changed to prevent any defaming)
Today when I was just visiting some rooms in habbo, I was infromed by my friend name Sherry that her storage account has been hacked and that account worth more than SGD$10,000. Well after some questioning and investigating, the prime suspect is a guy name Milky.
In this post, I am not describing how the hacking happened, but to infrom Milky how serious cyber hacking is.
Cyber hacking is an extremly serious offence and hackers will bear almost the same punishments as people who steal, and the reason behind that is hacking is considered cyber stealing. Well, don't believe me? Heres a prove :
In the year 2007 November, a 17 year old Teen was arrested and sentence to jail for hacking people's habbo account. The amount of credits he stole worth nearly USD$5,859 . We were not being told how long was the teen going to remain in jail, but going to jail is not a good thing.
To Milky :
Don't think because you hack a game account and the police won't do anything about it. The above is a prove that people can go to jail for hacking habbo account.
Don't think because the victim is a lower secondary school girl, she don't dare to go to the police station to report you.
For your information, there is such a thing called "E-Service" in the SPF (Singapore Police Force) website. This "E-Service" allows victim to report crimes to the police at home, without going to the police station. Victims just have to fill in their contact information and they can report a crime to the police. So, the girl can report you for hacking her account.
I know that you're not above 18 yet and you can't go to jail. But, you are entitled to the "Boy's Home"(A jail for children below the age of 18)
I can rest assure you a boys home is completely different from jail but, life there is going to be tough.
The food there is very "delicious" and the facilities there is very "clean"
(If you can sense my sacarsm)
Maybe you just have to wake up 6am in the morning daily to do some morning exercise and clean up the whole area (Area cleaning).
Don't worry, hacking SGD$10,000 will only entitle you to at most 1 year of stay in the boys home. Don't forget, once you sign up for a stay in the boys home, no matter 1 night or 1 year, you will have a permanent record of theft. So when you grow up and want to look for a suitable job, your boss will look at your record and will think twice about hiring a theft.
Do you think hacking SGD$10,000 now and get a permanent record that will affect your whole future is worth it? Why not study hard and get a good job that can pay you up to SGD$10,000 a month and you can enjoy a luxurious life?
Well, Sherry and I are planning to give you a chance to turn yourself in to us and give us back the hacked furniture. If you don't want to do that, then I think we will have no choice but to go a step further and settle this with the police.
Regards
TEAMDOJO

iPhone 4 - Adobe Flash Player
There are some rumours that apple Inc might be allowing it's idevices to support adobe flash player.
I can tell you guys that rumours will only remain as a rumour. I am very confident that apple Inc will not allow flash player into it's devices unless Steve Jobs passed away and the shareholders of apple decided to allow flash player.
Steve Jobs have his very own reason on why flash player is not allowed on the idevices.
You can read his reasonshere.
The reason is quite long, so I will quote out a short summary of it here for those lazy peoples :)
I will only quote the few important reasons. For a more detailed reason, please click here.
To achieve long battery life when playing video, mobile devices must decode the video in hardware; decoding it in software uses too much power. Many of the chips used in modern mobile devices contain a decoder called H.264 – an industry standard that is used in every Blu-ray DVD player and has been adopted by Apple, Google (YouTube), Vimeo, Netflix and many other companies.
Although Flash has recently added support for H.264, the video on almost all Flash websites currently requires an older generation decoder that is not implemented in mobile chips and must be run in software. The difference is striking: on an iPhone, for example, H.264 videos play for up to 10 hours, while videos decoded in software play for less than 5 hours before the battery is fully drained.
Symantec recently highlighted Flash for having one of the worst security records in 2009. We also know first hand that Flash is the number one reason Macs crash. We have been working with Adobe to fix these problems, but they have persisted for several years now. We don’t want to reduce the reliability and security of our iPhones, iPods and iPads by adding Flash.
Flash was created during the PC era – for PCs and mice. Flash is a successful business for Adobe, and we can understand why they want to push it beyond PCs. But the mobile era is about low power devices, touch interfaces and open web standards – all areas where Flash falls short.
The avalanche of media outlets offering their content for Apple’s mobile devices demonstrates that Flash is no longer necessary to watch video or consume any kind of web content. And the 250,000 apps on Apple’s App Store proves that Flash isn’t necessary for tens of thousands of developers to create graphically rich applications, including games.
-------------------------------------------------------
Even though the important points are already stated, it is recommended that you guys still read the full review just in case it missed out some points.
I feel that Steve Jobs disapprove flash player in iPhone is to ensure that the iPhones run smooth and not crash like the macs. So he is helping us to have a powerful phone :)
For those who want to watch flash videos, I will recommad you this app called "Skyfire" which can be purchased from the app store at only USD$2.99 (SGD$5). Basically, the app is a browser that will auto detect a flash video and convert it to a format that iPhone uses so the video can be played. (if the app fail to work on your device, I will not be responsible)

iPhone 4 - Jail breaking
For the past few months, my Samsung Galaxy S started to lag very badly and I got very frustrated. I went around asking my friends if their handphone lags and I found out that most of their smartphone does lag. The only phone with no lag issue so far is the apple iPhone 4. So I saved up my CNY money and purchased an iPhone 4 2 weeks ago and I am very pleased with it. There's completely no lags at all.
Apple has very strict security so as to ensure their idevices do not get infected with viruses or crash. So due to this tight security issue, iPhone can only download things from the apple apps store. Most people may find it quite irritating because they cannot download free apps and songs. But I personally feel that it is a brilliant idea that Steve Jobs came up with. By preventing any unauthorize applications onto the iPhone, the iPhone will be immune to many kinds of viruses which will keep the phone very safe. This is the reason why iPhone does not lag/crash.
But most people now are considering jailbreaking their iPhone 4. Here are my opinions about jailbreaking it :
Advantages :
You get to download all kinds of stuffs from the web including free apps and non-approve iPhone apps. You get more control over your phone and can customize your settings more. So we get to save our money as we do not need to purchase any apps.
Disadvantages :
Remember, downloading paid apps for free is illegal! When you jailbreak your iPhone, your iPhone's security is being pulled down. This is the reason why you can download free apps on the web. When the security is down, your phone is prone to viruses. One small mistake (download a game / enters a website with virus), there goes your phone. Your iPhone will start lagging badly or may even crash! Bear in mind that some virus is so strong that it can damage your iPhone and factory reset may not even work.
So I feel that it is best not to jailbreak your iPhone. Is it worth it to download free games and "open" your iPhone up to viruses? Most iPhone top games are only USD$0.99 (SGD$1.30). Is it worth it when the virus attacks your iPhone and it canny function properly anymore? Remember that iPhone is no lag because of it's tight security.
So please think carefully before jailbreaking your iPhone.
