Love Pizza? RM8-million one??

Not one of those million-dollar food delicacy stunts, but just a plain dotcom-ed one without 'much' toppings: Pizza.com, one of the premium domain names which costs just about the price for a single normal-size 12" edible cheese pie to renew annually.

Over the last few years, I've sold a few domains at 5-digit pricings, but 7-digit worth ones surely are huge windfalls for owners of domains like business.com, diamond.com, wine.com etc...

Hmm, reminiscing my old days working for Pizza Hut some 10+ years ago - almost bored of taking a stuffed baked dough home every night!

BTW, if you've missed the dotcom fortunes, it's still not too late to bite some off .ASIA, only recently opened for public registration on 26 MAR 2008. And save at least RM10 per name, per year (off normal price of RM60++) if you'd register before closing of extended March Madness sale, by 8pm, 8 APRIL 2008 (MYT).

Pizza, pizza panas... Siapa Cepat, Dia Dapat !!

Google Fools

Are you bored enough to continue staying on Earth? Let's colonize Mars' caves. Google and Virgin are picking up the tab:



Go, go, Penguins!



I didn't know Virgin flies people to space too, hehe...

Bracing for Wi-Po...

Not the intellectual property thing, but what I've been telling everyone as possibly the ultimate technology in this millennium, if scientists/technologists can really come up with it: long distance wireless power....

In recent years, there have been splashpod, splashpad, ecoupled (from Splashpower, Fulton Innovation LLC and PowerCast Corp etc) or whatever they'd call those special surfaces that can power up wireless mice (without batteries), or even charge mobile gadgets placed on top of or near them -- ability to transmit power up to several inches away, but when Marin Soljačić, assistant professor at MIT came up with a setup to power up a light bulb some wirelessly some two meters away, I'd say, let there be light!

Anyone knows where can I see/buy some of these "wi-po" devices in Malaysia? Until then, I'd just settle with my a4Tech BatteryFREE Wireless Optical Mouse I've been using for over three years now....

BTW, I noticed a lot of traffic coming from Kuwait to ecoupled.com website. Could there be a surge of interest and possibly big investment soon from that region? ;)

ELECTION 2008: Web 2.0 Part II (alpha)

It's official: The ruling coalition party that secured the biggest win/mandate in Malaysia election history just four year ago had just been given the smallest win/mandate today after the "new" Malaysians went to polls on Saturday, 8 MAR 2008 -- One could say that was the biggest setback for BN in Malaysia's modern history too. Politically, Pak Lah had certainly set up his biggest legacy - being the leader of this 'winning' party during both extremes, back-to-back!

Believe it or not too, Web 2.0 could have made this very big difference a reality. Of course, we'd need to investigate more to verify such statement which I'm sure many are already working towards it, and I'd think that I'd been doing that as well, time-permitting...

For now, let's just enjoy a quickie laugh (you'd only understand most of the jokes if you're Malaysia though...) reminiscing the few intense few weeks:
