California schools being spied?

You know, this is one of the stupidest ideas ever fulfilled in California schools to spy on the students like in case whatever school offense or any lazy thing is bound to happen. Indeed, having to monitor all students’ performance and behavior like that is one of the stupid ideas because nobody cares for those ideas by the way.

Now, you can sign the petition here at http://cms.fightforthefuture.org/schoolspying/ to take action against that spying idea because if nothing is done to stop it, then the spying may eventually spread. Even worse is that other US School Districts have already tried this method as well. However, the good information is that a few years ago, it was said that it is illegal to spy on the students in Pennsylvania. Well really, those fools? Even the personal and mobile gadgets of the students are pretty much affected by the spying stuffs as well as if it can’t be helped. We don’t know if even private browsing is going to help either and especially when the gadgets boot up the other operating systems which are not affected by the spies.

Bitlocker the technical betrayal?

Articles about the NSA and FBI stuffs are everywhere in the globe and wiping them out is one of the stupid orders/plans like what someone already issued in wiping out hard disks containing leaked documents of the evil spying motives at The Guardian. According to some article I discovered, it seemed that there was some backdoor implemented inside BitLocker so that this evil spying can continue ever since the Windows Vista days.

Also, there is some progress going on from EFF, Fight for the Future, IDL, etc. that more stuffs are coming in on what those evil spying agencies have been up to. The targets range from computers, tablets, smartphones and even your private stuffs in US powered technology brands. However, to be frank, I have been SICK AND TIRED of talking and blogging about these as there’s no FUCKING END to this saga. If THIS is the BULLSHIT they’ve been continuing against the civilians, then there may be no point using technologies affected by that.

SDVX II First Run

OK, the timing has more ease than IIDX itself and especially for the inclusion of Skill Analyzer which is similar to IIDX’s Dan Mode but the Laser notes posed me the challenge like trying to turn the knobs to the beat properly.

Now, I started off with the Skill Analyzer when playing this for the first time from the lowest level. I’m at Level 2 right now but I don’t know when will I go any further. The input response is immediate, so is the one for IIDX machines at the Bugis Virtualland arcade.

Project Diva Arcade Gameplay Report Sep 9th Edition

What was some lady doing in the arcade asking me for stupid donations and so forth while I was playing? THIS IS BY FAR THE WRONG PLACE TO ASK FOR DONATIONS LIKE THAT? It’s like she wanted to cause any stupid trouble at the arcade. Imagine that this kind of donation thingy takes place at the Bugis arcades. I’m sure those asking for donations will be like out of luck.

Now, talk about the updates of the Tampines Mall Timezone arcade, it appears that the Maimai game is updated to Maimai Green and there are 5 PDA machines  now with the fifth one that is vulnerable to the players blocking some path but since the fifth machine addition was kind of recent, the touch screen interactivity surely worked on me like the cursor effect did not appear away from my finger when I tapped unlike other machines where their touch screen thingy is starting to become even worse. Unfortunately, it appears that the Maimai game is damn popular that the random groups of players have been playing it. I can’t be going to the arcades like everyday or so and each play is pretty damn short if you will.

Makato Asada at MAGES.–Working on untitled Xbox One game

Is the betrayal or rebelling near when it comes to Makato Asada working on Xbox One game that will be released in the future? Other information includes MAGES working on the Xbox Live Arcade version of some PC game that will be released next year. So, we don’t even know what kind of game is he working on for Xbox One at MAGES but the thing is, we still want the Playstation 4 to have the greater shmup support as the console itself gives you MORE FREEDOM.

This year, he might have left Cave Interactive into working at MAGES as if the Cave-like resources are still with 5PB Games. They might have recently released Ketsui for Playstation 3 based on the Xbox 360 port with the new company alias for that version. So if Ketsui for Playstation 3 has made it to PSN, there may be more chance for people to buy in case the retail copies are sold out and especially when it can be played on the Playstation 4 as well.

Playstation 4 to be released next year in Japan

Alright, there are tons of Japanese-made Playstation 4 games coming as well as the console itself to be released next year so we may have until next year if we want to play them out once they are released in Asia as well. Sure, not all Japanese games are released in Asian regions un-translated or something.

Various examples I know of include the new EDF, new Dream C Club, new Idolmaster, new Phantom Breaker, new Guilty Gear and so on. Of course, out of these here, I may be interested to take a look at the new Idolmaster and Phantom Breaker games for the Playstation 4 that will be released next year.

OK, I don’t know why the conference about these took place yesterday like I supposed it should be taking place earlier or later than yesterday as I’m frankly sick and tired of everything C****-ish. It’s a serious damage to my brain like I can’t even do well ever since like few years ago. Maybe I should have avoided anything special about September 9 and moved on.

COMEX IT Show (September 5 to 8)

What a big IT show due to taking two halls from Hall 5 to 6 at Singapore Expo! There are tons of tablets, desktop and laptop computers to check out ranging from Windows 8 related computers and tablets and Android tablets from the familiar brands like Acer, Asus, Samsung, HP, Dell, Lenovo, etc. The other same brands are back such as Rangers, Microsoft, Apple, Logitech, etc. in which they are displaying their accessories again. Also, there are other Android devices by other brands I don’t even know of such as those devices made in America or some Chinese-speaking countries. Compared to my Android tablet device which is Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7, there are differences in the Android interface depending on the Android device.

Other big things included the ISPs, TVs, GPSes, Cameras and so on. I also went to the ViewQwest booth to make more talks about it and made comparison between ViewQwest and the ISPs we know of now. For ViewQwest, they have both the fiber broadband, Freedom VPN and the Android TV device to be controlled with the mouse and keyboard similar to other Android TV devices I had already seen. Before I made a discovery with ViewQwest, it seems that the OpenNet fiber device is somewhat an add-on to your existing home network and I don’t even know how it works except that I was told that you can use some VPN technology with OpenNet. I’m still having the ADSL Broadband connection which is by far not the fastest compared to Fiber technology. Unlike Fiber-Optic connection, the ADSL Broadband connection has its own lifespan or something whose performance decreases over time. There were even projectors and pianos by Canon and the projectors were damn recent. Cool thing about them was that they had the Digital Zoom effect, the HDMI port and the remote control. Hopefully, the companies and schools should use the projectors with new features like that in the future as there has been bitching about not able to see the screen from far distance due to using VGA or something. One unnecessary thing was the inclusion of the USB drive port for presentation and other stuffs. You can store your presentation to your USB flash drive to be hooked up to the projector but the presentation format is not what you know of. You’ll need the driver software CD for installation to do this if you want to present by USB alone. What a downside of those projectors for me but they are damn great overall.

Lastly, there was another company that offers the certified courses to study. This is not the first time I was in the IT show where I discovered the previous company that offers those courses. The downside is that they may be expensive as hell but I don’t think I will be ready for those courses anytime soon. Also, there were other accessories like the new earpieces, headphones, speakers, external hard drives, Chromebooks, NAS and D-Link booth. Chromebooks are looking like the rare thing but from what I saw of the interface of Google Chrome OS, it looked even better than what I saw back then when the OS was still in development. After this IT show, you can look for those Chromebooks at Courts retail stores.
