I bought the ticket online yesterday night and print out myself. Due to promotion price, most good view seat has been taken by others. I decide to buy twin seat since my wife and I never try before.

The most nervous scene below in MI4. How Tom Cruise climb on the glass window? Keep reading till the end.

Transparent Screen

Unable to find any scene picture for this transparent screen gadget. But it is awesome. It detect face angle and position then render image from back to front screen. The MI agent hide behind the screen without people knowledge.

iPad 2

With help of iPad, the agent can see from hidden place with a flexible camera add-on. It also use to show rendered image on the transparent screen.

iPhone 4

iPhone use as timer count down and card reader hacking tool!

Sticky Gloves

A pair of electric gloves that can stick mission impossible hero on the wall. In the movie, Tom Cruise climb up on the Burj Khalifa glass window (Tallest building in the world).

In real life, University of Kiel in Germany has made Crazy tape that manage to hang weight of a person on ceiling!

My Two Cents

Unexpectedly, the twin seat is very cosy with nice view! ;) And Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol is one of the Best movie in 2011 for me! Unstoppable action, luxury scene, tortuous story and impressive gadgets! Especially the BMW i8 concept car. Have you watch the MI4? ;)

My first printer was Epson InkJet 10 years ago. Print head die, throw. Last year my friend donate me a Epson InkJet too. Use less than 5 times before it turn down :( The main InkJet problem is you have to use it frequently!

At last, I decided to get a monochrome laser printer since I don’t need color. It should eliminate print head jam, cleaning head issue. The cheapest laser printer in the market should be Samsung ML-1640, which cost me only RM245.

Samsung ML-1640 Features

Although the exterior design is giant compare to Canon laser printer, you can’t deny its outstanding performance.

  • 16ppm (A4)
  • 1200×600 dpi
  • 150-sheet Tray capacity
  • 8MB Memory

With a resolution of 1,200 x 600 dpi, the prints are clear and crisp, just like the original. If you demand cheap, fast speed, and high quality printouts, ML-1640 is a good solution.

The toner is not cheap though. RM180 per piece. Calculate by the pages can print per toner, it still much more cheaper than InkJet. Just see how long it last for my printing! :)

I just won an iPhone 3GS 32GB. ;) You won’t believe the iPhone 3GS is a pleasure and awesome until you hold it on hand.

Check it out what iPhone 3GS can do here. It is slightly thicker than iPod Touch.

It’s camera on the back and comes with 32GB huge storage. Can store lots of music and movies.

The original wallpaper of iPhone. “The earth is in your finger tips.”

But WAIT! Do you notice something odd? No? Look it carefully again.

This iPhone support TWO SIM cards. What? Apple launched iPhone 4G to support 2 SIM cards quietly? NO. It is not Apple iPhone, in fact it is China fake iPhone!

The external appearance is so real until I can’t believe it is fake on the first sight. The iPhone is a gift from my father in-law. He bought it during China trip last month.

My Two Cents

In fact the iPhone was a gift to my wife but she don’t want to use it, said too cheap! Yes, I admit it is just RMB 250+ (RM150 after conversion). Plus the function responds are too slow compare to iPod touch. And the charger was not functioning on its first charge.

I’m an iPhone lover, don’t waste the fake iPhone too. Because it support 2 SIM cards simultaneously. One for my personal SIM, another for company SIM. Bought a China battery charger and start to use it today! So far so good.

It is work well on phone call, but lousy for SMS (slow and not sensitive), low resolution camera, no WiFi, etc. Compare the cost efficiency? It is an awesome phone for price less than RM200! Do you agree with me? ;)

Since revolution of mobile, we people want the freedom of mobility. From desktop to laptop, from huge mobile phone to tiny mobile phone in our hand.

A question I always ask myself few years ago now have an answer. The question is it possible power can transmit through the air, wireless power? The imagination become a reality now with Airnergy!

What is Airnergy?

RCA Airnergy is a USB-connected device that converts Wi-Fi antenna signals into usable power for your gadgets. It automatically charge and store into lithium-ion battery. Cool huh? The concept same with Power over Ethernet, but this is on Wifi instead of Ethernet cable.

The recharging time depends on the quality and number of Wi-Fi signals. Of course don’t expect fast charge on the go. Full charge a BlackBerry need 90 minutes to complete.

Just imagine the future WiFi spot equip with WiFi Power Charger and Internet Access. We as laptop user could charge the battery while using computer. Don’t need to bring power adapter anymore, totally the freedom of mobility.

My Two Cents

My only question is how it affect our health? Will the power surge other device while charging over WiFi? Can we turn off the battery to prevent over charging? Let’s see how effective is it when it is on our hand.

It is the best invention in early of the year 2010! It is expected to go on sale later this year at $40 USD, not cheap though.

WiFi Memory Card

So it’s easy to upload photos and videos to computer with NO cables required. It is cool! Just imagine after photography session, you go back home and put back bag, then start transfer photo directly into computer with the camera inside the bag!
