My World. My Space. My Soul.

Microsoft has suspended a new internet messaging service in China, after it emerged that the site was partially based on code stolen from a rival startup.

The site, Juku, launched in November is similar in concept to other online messaging systems like Twitter. But earlier this week the team behindPlurk, a young internet company based in Canada and popular with users across Asia, accused Microsoft of directly copying as much as 80% of the code to run the program.

OK. But what resolutions? I hope it is not an outright buy over. I certainly do not want to see advertisement banners on my Plurk profile nor advertisments in any other forms.

The post serves as an update to the previous post: {UPDATED} Plagiarism at its best: Microsoft China steals Plurk’s concept

It is here! Not really. I still have 10 more days to ORD. Back to the topic, there is this guy who uploaded a video on Facebook singing about his joy of ORD-ing and getting his pink IC back. His singing is off, but it is just amusing. Enjoy. Oh, by the way, if the video is down, do tell me in the comments. There is no point having the post without the video.

I enabled cross-posting to Facebook from my blog a long time ago. I know the readership isn’t high, but I do get some clicks from the Notes there. I wonder if everyone knows that Facebook does not allow posting of videos or any embed objects in the Notes. About half of my posts contain embedded objects in one way or another. Majority of them come from Youtube and even Facebook videos.

To save the hassle of clicking on every single post to check for such objects, posts with them have prefix (ie, Facebook Video, Youtube, etc) attached to the title. I hope that helps.

My lecturer just produced some frightening figures from last semester’s exam papers. Apparently, the four papers I am taking are among those with the lowest passing rate. Hence, it is time for me to drop my happy-go-lucky attitude from now on. My updates on the Net is increasingly rare and it will remain this way. I will have to drop Plurk, Facebook and Twitter for the time being. That means no more Facebook games, increase in Plurk karma or Klout.net’s Influence summary. Most of my time on the computer will be spent on more constructive sites.

Till 15 December! And oh, my ORD date is 14th December. What a busy Christmas month.
