6 steps on how to sign up for a free Facebook account

You've heard your friends have their own Facebook.

A friend ask you what is your Facebook account and you still dont know, or in another situation, friends ask you this schematic question "do you have your Facebook account?

To register as a Facebook user, you need to sign up for an account. Its free and open for everyone at every age level, at any profession.

Here are the 6 steps on how to sign up for a free Facebook account:

Step 1: You must have an active email address. I personally recommended you to use Gmail, a free email from Google. Yahoo Mail is good but Yahoo will ads up your inbox with flash ads. Gmail loads faster and provides larger email storage with minimal ads. with Gmail, you can swith to HTML based Gmail account which has no ads at all (for free!).

Step 2: Go to Facebook homepage. Set your own unique name and password in mind before registering it. When done, fill in your personal info - your first name, your last name (for Malaysian, the first name is your name and the last name is your father's name), your email used to create this Facebook account, your password (make sure other people dont know your password) and you birthday. I have to admint you can fake all this info, just in case you needed privacy or for your own safety.

Step 3: Use your real name of your nick name known by your friends, family members or working colleagues. Choose wisely because your friends will find you based on the name you use in Facebook. If you use a name unknown to them, they cant find you and they will have a big difficulty finding you.

Step 4: Skip essential part during your registration process. Facebook may ask you to find your friends who use Facebook via your contact list derived from your email, upload a profile picture or filling up personal details. You can do this later. Our main priority is to get your Facebook validated.

Step 5: when done, Facebook will sent an activation link into your email account that you provide during the registration process. Please log in to your email, go to your inbox, find the email from Facebook. The title should be "Welcome to Facebook". At least, find a email message titled with Facebook name. Click on the activation link.

Step 6: When your new Facebook account has been validated, you can now add up some pictures, write some short info about yourself, searching for your friends' Facebook profile and add them as your friends. This is the fun part! The second fun begins when you are connected with them as friends and you can exchange messages with them via their wall, comments and images. To enable this, make sure your Facebook profile is connected with their's.

Step 7: Have fun! Look for new friends, Facebook will not limit how much a friends you can add in one day (but Friendster does!). Enjoy it! Its more fun that sms, Twitter or Friendster.

You can know what your friends thought about their activity, their surroundings, their emostions expresses in their wall massages and stories about things happened around them.

Facebook promised, they will keep your account as a free one all the time.

iPad chair made by Elite Home Theater Seating

At the first time I saw the iPad chair, I tought it was a chair brought down from inside a plane. My thought was wrong. The iPad chair was made by Elite Home Theater Seating, focused as personal digital entertainment.

I do recommend this chair if you want use your iPad as entertainment console - watching movies, listening to songs or podcats, browsing the internet for latest news, enjoying some good funny videos with a cup of coffee (with your spouse in the next iPad Chair beside you!)

The idea of this product was good. Its just like a cinema plus your iPad, plus a nice break in your home during weekends or vacations. If Ogawa Malaysia finds this chair, they will surely add their massage chair with iPad.

iPad Chair availabe in 12 different colors with additional accessories such as TES 100 audio technology, built below the chair.

Steward John hates Celcom Broadband

Celcom Broadband is the wireless broadband provider in Malaysia. Celcom is the first telecommunication company provides us with an offer to access internet via their usb modem.

I remember using Celcom Broadband to access internet connection back in 2009, at that time the connection was very slow. We are using GRPS internet connetion to read emails and latest new. Yahoo homepage takes full 30 seconds to reload!

Steward John, a blogger stated in his post how much he hates Celcom Broadband. Celcom already topped up his Broadband bandwidth from 386kbps to 512kbps, a free increase without any additional charge. But, the speed is still the same, he didnt see an increase in his broadband speed.

I think other users of Celcom Broadband have the same experience, derived from my reading on most personal blog in Malaysian blogosphere. During several weeks, Celcom Broadband coverage grows weak. Speed in opening up website becomes slow, YouTube videos gest slow, anything goes online becomes slow. The 'slow' problem still goes on until today.

I hope Celcom will do something about it. Their broadband charge rates goes down to the price of RM48 per month right now, RM20 cheaper from the original monthly charges at RM68 per month.

What about me? I'm using Digi Prepaid Broadband, the coverage still does best so far.

Thanks Digi :)

Motorola Android tablet laptop

Motorola will release their own tablet laptop in this year. If the plan goes successfully, then we can have a tablet laptop with Motorola logo such as in the image above, runs on Google Android operating system, affordable (maybe) for anyone to buy (new everyone can have a tablet laptop!) and free from virus threats.

Apple made a huge impact in computer market by producing cheap, fast and interactive tablet laptop, which I expect to be sold at $999 just like Unibody Macbook. Apple competitors are now doing the same way with a big hope to conquer a large market segment for tablet laptops.

Maybe the tablet laptop produced by Motorola will have its short name too, just like Razr, their thick mobile phone, or Shole, their smartphone with UI (user interface) similar to iPhone. will the name for the Motorola's tablet laptop will be ANDRO? Its only my prediction.

Sarah Palin is Tweetalism icon

Sarah Palin (I mean, the real Sarah Palin) is the icon for Tweetalism, the line of web journalism. She loves Twitter very much, she typed her complaints and comments about the president on her Twitter messages.

Technology was being used in our daily life, including in politic games. Public figures around the world, including President Obama himself uses Twitter, a free web apps, as a tool to spread personal messages.

Until now Twitter has been around since 2007, I'm expecting they will use more advertisement inside Twitter home interface as main source of income. Currently, Twitter has only a minimal text-ads on its user home tab, not a flash-based image ads.

Sarah Palin can be reach via Facebook too. She has a loyal fan , with the name of Fake Sarah Palin.

Windows 7 sold in 175 million copies

7 copies of new Windows 7 operating system sold in every one second worldwide!

The statistic, as told by Brandon LeBlanc ( Microsoft's Community Manager) made Windows 7 as the fastest selling OS in world history, in the same time making Internet Explorer 8 (comes with Windows 7 installation cd) as the most widely used internet browser around the world.

If Microsoft offers Mozilla Firefox 4 with Windows 7 installation cd in each sales, that will make Firefox 4 as the most popular web browser around the world. But that would never happen.

I have a dream. One day, Google will produce their own operating system, the Google Chrome OS and inserting Google Chrome web browser in it.

Seconds ago, TopNews.us reported Microsoft is now facing a huge problem of securiy breach, stated that all its operating system (includes Windows 7) can be hacked in kernell-level, which I understand as anyone outside your home can access your computer via the internet and changing its Windows registry system keys to get you into a big problem - the lost of important data in a mere second without any backup.

Microsoft saya they are working on its to fox the problem, which I premsume they will release security patches (a kind of updates for your Windows computer) soon enough to protect Windows user from around the world.
