Interesting site that I come across

I come across some interesting sites on the net today.
From http://www.cracked.com
This article remind me how Washington died due to blood letting.
Basically, It list a few strange and funny medical cures that were implemented in the past by doctors.
The diet pills ones are still prevalent in these time and day.
It is now known that mercury can cause Autism in Children via vaccine preservatives.

The one about lobotomy is also quite interesting because basically the Doctor destroy the frontal lobe which play a part

in impulse control, judgment, language production, working memory, motor function, sexual behavior, socialization, and spontaneity.-from wikipedia
Basically he just successfully undo years of evolution on a fellow human being.
While you are there,look out for the

Honour Killings in London.

Read this article today From Timesonline

It simply chill my heart to see that this is happening in this time and period.Various news networks Covers this story: BBC,MCNBC,The Daily Mailand The Australian
Some With the actual footage of the victim giving advance warning pending her murder on her boyfriend phone.
I saw this video from Technorati.



The 2 footage below from ScareTV.



What is worse is the fact that Given that there are signs of a possible crime why was it not fully follow up by the police?


Granted that the victim is under protection by the police couldn't more be done?

Rest In peace Banaz Mahmod.

Burma Airline Tycoon son Partying in Singapore

Read this article in Tomorrow.sg That refer to a online daily magazine post in the thefirstpost.co.uk that show the son of the WEALTHIEST tycoon in Burma, Tay Za, partying in Singapore.
The main point of the article is that :

.....his 19-year-old son Htet Tay Za is living it up in Singapore and has sent an arrogant email to friends - accompanied by photos of him partying with pretty girls - saying: "US bans us. We're still fucking cool in Singapore. ...."



I especially like at82 quote:
Recommended by at82: "I hope the Burmeses in S'pore would give him a party of his life if they ever get to meet him. ;-)"

Nice story from Australia


Here is a News from Sydney Morning Herald.
This news is quite uplifting because it show a 14 year old boy Julian Shaw who save a 54 year old man Mark O'Dwyer who faint and fall onto a track at Lisarow train station.
The thing that caught my attention ,beside the Rock band participation,is that Julian acted based on what He learned on a Discovery channel show MythBuster which is shown in Singapore too. It's a nice show that dispels commonly held myth using scientific approach and methods.
It's nice to know that entertainment information when presented scientifically can help broaden people perceptions and lead to such a heroic event.
More reason to watch Discovery channel now.

Rich Internet Applications (RIA)

Actually I'm studying JavaFX now and it's potential usage in my Mini Game developments.Basically JavaFX ,from my point of view is divided to to part the part i'm interested in is the Scripting part as that will have the effect of creating stuff like animation that are script based(like flash) and still be platform independent. With the development Flashlite by Adobe the demands for handphone device RIA is quite obvious to see.
