Firefox Launcher for Android Preview

As of the beginning of this month, it seems that Mozilla is developing their launcher for Android which may somewhat include the Firefox web browser. It should be similar to the EverythingMe launcher except for the inclusion for the Firefox web browser. We don't know when will the beta version be out but I hope that I may give that a try if available. Of course, I still have yet to add HTTPSEverywhere in Firefox for my Android device but it may be a different way to add plugins to the mobile version of the web browser.

IPv6 Essentials Webinar from Gogotraining

This is by far the first time I attended the Webinar from GogoTraining. It may be equivalent to the MVA Jump Start where you can put in questions and comments and of course, you don't even need the GoToWebinar account to attend those Webinars.
This one lasts an hour and the training starts in two days starting today Singapore Time. I already attended this training at 2AM today and the training ended at 3AM with questions taking 30 minutes to be answered. But that's not all, there will be more details about the IPv6 technologies to be talked about in the online workshop next week by the same person. In the meantime, this is all about the essential details of IPv6 technologies. Of course, I do have the knowledge about that but even then, it is not complete as IPv6 is still quite new to learn and implement with. There's even the audio chat feature for the webinars but as the training took place 2AM today, it would be inappropriate for me to use that so I'm sticking on to using the text-based chat like always. But even the audio chat features, I still prefer the text-based chat just like in MVA Jump Starts.
You can take screenshots but you didn't need to for this webinar as there would be links leading to the slides so that you can refer later. Now, for polls, things are more time-limited compared to MVA Jump Starts but they should be similar.
Now, at least you might have read the blog posts regarding the MVA Jump Starts but don't stop there. There may be other IT related online events for me to attend in addition to MVA Jump Starts so we're looking forward to them.

IA/VT Colorful for PS Vita

Another Vocaloid rhythm game to be released? That should be worth buying in addition to Megpoid: The Music on PSP. Shame that I wasn't able to find that game to buy for the PSP and it's not in the PSN Store either. This one features 60 songs and certain songs in this upcoming game are already in Groove Coaster arcade in which you should be to play before the game is out in July. Project Diva F 2nd is like out-numbered by this probably due to the disappointing number of songs but it seems that the developers don't want to put in the underrated songs like they already did in previous Project Diva games. They surely want the best songs so that people can play them but the problem is that the song list in Project Diva F 2nd doesn't meet the 39-song objective. Speaking of underrated songs, I don't know which songs in IA/VT Colorful are underrated. From the research, certain songs are already available to listen to and the rest are game-exclusive.
This is being produced by the person who produced Senran Kagura series and developed by Marvelous AQL. There will be some DLCs but I don't know if that is going to happen or not.

Internet Catastrophe?

The worse news from Avaaz is there as I already received the mail a few days ago. Previously, the court had already destroyed the Net Neutrality, leaving the internet in the US and EU with no real security whatsoever and conquered with the fake and stupid one. Also, it seemed that the ISPs in the US and EU were becoming the bigger traitors of the customers that you will be completely sick of living in US like some people on Twitter were already sick of and moving to other parts of America. Recently, the EU Parliament is planning to cause the same catastrophe to the internet in Europe as well as if the cyber-destruction is spreading from America to Europe and the destruction range is expanding, wiping out everything in the process.
You know what else is disastrous? It's the ISPs that make the website makers pay and slowing down those sites. I don't know if even the popular websites will be slowed down as well but this is some stupid bullshit you may be sick of. It's like the bandwidth has been wasted on data information collection through ISPs, telecom giants and IT giants and that's not the fastest bandwidth we may want.
If this is the stupidity they want, then you may want to avoid it. It's more like you may want to bash on Verizon and Vodafone for example for betraying their customers! How do you switch ISPs? You can figure that out yourself.
This so-called Net Neutrality has better be restored by FCC.

Lunar New Year Day 1

Before the first day started, I had already completed the 16-Bit arrangement of The Beautiful Magic from Magical Beat. However, from the music list in the game's sound test, it seems that it's not over yet. I still have to arrange one song from 0D Beat Drop which is the previous game by Arc System Works. 0D Beat Drop doesn't look like you're dropping the blocks to the beat and that is a huge disappointment compared to Magical Beat in which you can drop the blocks to the beat. You can drop them normally but that breaks the purpose of the game and it's not gonna help you alot in defeating your opponents. And the visuals of 0D Beat Drop are like the knock-off of Every Extend Extra Extreme or something, I don't know. Of course, the songs and sound effects from the previous game are in Magical Beat as well and unlike the previous game, this one has more momentum.
Perhaps I can try to do the video capture of the entire run of the game in the future. Not to mention that my YouTube account is kind of out-dated with no new videos whatsoever. If YouTube behaves like an asshole against us, gamers, perhaps I can post my entire run to NND which to them, my videos there surely suck ass.

Office Online

The interface may seem to be improved but even then, it cannot be the same for the Ribbon UI or perhaps the standard toolbar as enlarging it may be a difficult way. Sure, Office client version has the Touch Mode to expand the spacing that makes things suitable for the touch screen devices but unfortunately, certain of those tablet devices are making the buttons look too small. I don't know what the latest version of Office mobile looks like on Windows Phone but I assume that the buttons can't be this small.
Interface-wise, there are newer features for Office Online apps. There will be features that will make those apps catch up with the client counterparts and the Metro counterparts. While OneNote itself is free across multi-platforms, the others are not.

From Skydrive to OneDrive

Due to some branding infringement or whatever, they had decided to rename Skydrive to Onedrive. We don't know the new features for Onedrive at this moment but it seems that even Office 365 will have some improvements for their web apps known as Office Online. But having the name, Onedrive, is likely to make things worse. There are already cloud services with the word, one, such as Ubuntu One, One.com, etc. Calling that Micro-drive is not likely to make sense either like making the Microsoft cloud storage for users the tinyest looking storage of all containing 25GB-500GB. Like come on, this ain't the SSD or the SD-card inside the servers.
One.com already has their cloud drive service and it has been active for three years but I assume that the Skydrive service existed even ealier than One.com's cloud service. I don't know when did Dropbox first exist by the way but it may seem that Dropbox itself was a superior one than Skydrive back then before there was a desktop client for Skydrive two years ago.
