A Failure!

3D : A Proven Failure!

Some 6 years ago, I did a silent forecast about the re-emergence of the Three Dimensional format. During my youth days, I saw cineflix such as "The 13 Ghost" in black & white, right up to remakes/reissues in 3D at the cinemas. And then, they brought it into the idiot box, the TV.

The TV technology used in our country was so far behind and out-of-time that the more urgent thing the authorities should do was to quickly introduce HD (High Definition in 1080p) instead of depending on the Assthrow's 720p (1080i).
Then, so many who are ignorant about HD, Full HD (fool's HD) jumped into the pool of confusion, ended up buying TVs that they could not use it to the fullest unless one has a Blu-Ray player.
Some even spent extra on 3D without knowing the whole story. Is it because the sales person who coax you on a bargain resulted on your decision?

Just look at TM's Hypo TV service. We chucked our unify's box top set into the trash. I felt more being insulted using that 'free' TV. It is not on HD as suggested and it is more of 'streaming TV'. Those so called 'free' programs are now chargeable and we end up getting some low class rejects plus the usual seven worthless local TV stations.

Back to the 3D frustration.

Just what is it that we, here in Malaysia wants to see in 3D? The shows are very limited. Just how many TV stations shows 3D? Assthrow? Unify? local stations? Fat hopes.

How about DVD? Hey DVD is 'old tech' and the quality do not exceed 600p. Only the Blu-Ray has 1080p. Unless one also uses a media player there is no other way to watch HD programmes let alone 3D. 3D seriously need HD  frequency to broadcast off air and at present we do not have even one TV station in HD. The ministry is so lacking that all video production in HD are broadcast in the old SD(standard definition) which is about 43 years old! All production equipment even in angkasapuri,are in HD. The cameras, lighting, editing, etc are in HD. The problem lies in the old transmission equipment. they failed to spend the necessary mulla.
Then, how could 3D succeed?

Just read what Bob Zitter of HBO (Home Box Office) has to say on the failure.

Japan and other advanced countries are now broadcasting in UHD (Ultra High Definition) 4K.

So folks, please stop helping them (the dealers) to clear their stocks by paying more.

3D is proven dead (again)

Meow!

Good Riddance!

Today is a good day.

Very good indeed.

We got to do the things we have always wanted to do.

We got rid of Streamyx.

We also got rid of Astro.

Both combined cost us RM 299.00 per month. We now only pay half that amount but surf the net and watch stream TV at 18 times the speed. My upload to youtube (HD) is 20 times faster!!

Ok, maybe Assthrow have more HD contents but so what? On repeats, repeats and repeats?

The new TV show called "Smash" which is a talk about would not be shown here in HD. It would be on Diva which is not on HD. I am still puzzled as to why are we not getting new shows on HD when 99.999% sales of new flat panel TVs are all in HD?

Must we pay extra for HD?

Aren't everyone is entitled to get it in HD?

Anyway, welcome.

Box Fixed Up!

Talk Like That, Also Kenot!

Wah, just a few days ago, I blogged and complaint about how UNIFI 'dissapeared' after fixing up the cables.

That was for Thursday.

Then, the next day, on Friday afternoon, they fitted up the junction boxes and connected the fibre optic cables from the poles onto the under ground ducting towards the main road.

This is good news..

Shiok Onli Issit?

When? Oh When? Unifi.

Remember, almost two months ago they came and put up the cables and we felt so 'shiok'. We gave them a big smile and they made our day by giving us a reply like....'in two months time'.

The entire team even gave us a pose with big smiles.

This morning I went to investigate. Yup, the Fibre Optic Cables are up.
Wound up in a large roll 15ft up and is hanging on a pole. It stopped there.

That's it. Huh?

Blardy Monopoly izzit?..So can waste time?

Broadband IFs & BUTs

Horse Shit Big Bluff-er

After all that HooHaa launch about our super High Speed Broad Band, many are feeling cheated already!
The newspapers reported here.

There are so many if and buts and conditions so tight that one wonders if it is going to "attract that many foreign investments" at all. It also look like all da buggers running the show are wishy washy and flipping flopping in their terms and conditions.

The latest was that they are NOT capping the useage afterall! This was because da public went crazy! Does that mean that if we make anymore noise, they would reduce the price too? The contract says one have to pay RM5,976.00 for a two year minimum (20Mbps package).

It seemed also that the earlier condition stated that the useage cap for the 5Mbps package would be at 60GB of data per month! Holyshit! And... it would also be based on a daily basis! NoShit! and it would means that it would be a measly 1.85GB a day!!!! BigShit! Just how much data CAN be uploaded/downloaded if one is involved in HD film production (legal) business? A 25 minute full HD clip at 1080i is already at 6.8GB!

It seemed that this is costlier than Sinkapore!!!! On top of that, it EXCLUDES the IPTV cost too!
This is a multi BILLION Ringgit project for the Rakyat and it looks like da fellows are not sure how much to really charge us!

Come on lah, gormen, why all this high costs if this is supposed to UNIFY all of us?

Ali BaBa and da 40 thieves also said: ZamZamAlakaZaM!!!!!

Puuurah!

P1 WiMaX

WiMax Broadband Services.

Can anyone tell me what WiMax services are all about?

Is it about?
a) A new player jumping in just to make profits? (Like TM)
b) Because it is wireless, it is Gaya to have a wireless? (TM also)
c) Guarantee Superfast broadband at 2Mbps-20Mbps (TM cannot)
d) As above but, where applicable onli (Tm can and is famous for)
e) To wait till year end so 2 Mbps also can (ridiculous!)
f) For KL (in KLCC) or Putrajaya/Cyberjaya (already 4 - 10 Mbps)
g) All must depend on only TM's last mile wiring which can only handle 1Mbps due to old rotting
copper wire which is underwater most of the time and need another RM500BILLION to change them to fibreoptics cables.

TM Streamy, now you kena wallop. For God*&^*sake please wake up from your stupid promotion and take the challenge. Your above advertisement works only for areas around the lakes of Putrajaya/Cyberjaya and we have to go there to surf izzit? Bodoh lah

Lastly lah guys,....DreamON!!!! We may not publicly get 10Mbps for each of us in this life time.
With things going on like that, as a rebirth frog, I may not know how to use a computer! Rriiibit!!
So what else is new?

Then hor, why launch in place which already have better speed and compete in sales ? Why not launch at places which do not have fast speed especially Klang, PJ, Kajang, Rawang and many perhaps thousands will be happy thus promoting it to those highly competitive places?

I for one, will solemly swear that if P1 W1Max comes to Klang to set up and sell a package with at least 4Mbps at a competitive rate, I am throwing away TM Nut and sign up yours!!!!!!!!!

Serious!!!!!
