Dragonball Evolution: A joke!

To be honest, I haven’t actually seen the movie myself. But after reading reviews, I decided I don’t want to. Taken from Yahoo User Reviews of the movie, here are some reviews by Yahoo users that I quote directly:

Amazon.com Ripping us OFF!

AMZ*PRIMESHIPPINGCLUB 866-557-2820 NV is what showed up on my bank statement, charging me $79.
I googled AMZ*PRIMESHIPPINGCLUB 866-557-2820 NV and found out it’s from Amazon.com’s Prime membership. More about the story.

Here’s how to cancel it.
1. Log in
2. Click “Your Account” link on top right besides the Help link
3. You should see 5 subcategories: Orders, Payment, Settings, Digital Content, and Personalization. Look at Settings, and under Account Settings, click on “Manage Prime Membership”
4. Click “Cancel” and confirm it
5. You’re done

If you’re wondering about refunds.. I think they will give refund if you cancel your membership soon enough. The Prime membership started on April 10th or 11th, so it’s still early.

Dell Adamo – new luxury franchise in Dell’s brand lineup

Two months ago, if you open adamobydell.com, it will return you with the image above. But not anymore. Last month, Dell revealed its newest laptop design named Adamo, which means to fall in love with. While its specs are still being kept a secret, its sleek premium design is definitely eye-catching. All we know is that it has 13inch screen, back-light keyboard, runs Vista Home Premium, and relatively the same size as Apple’s Macbook Air.

World Cup 2018 or 2022 Candidate Host: Indonesia

BERNE, Switzerland, Jan 28 (Reuters) – Indonesia have put themselves forward as surprise bidders for the 2018 or 2022 World Cup, FIFA said on Wednesday.

The proposal from the Indonesian FA is one of six already received by FIFA ahead of Monday’s deadline, a spokesman for soccer’s world governing body said.

England, Japan, Qatar, Russia and a joint application from Spain and Portugal are the other formal expressions of interest already on the table.

Several other countries, including Australia, China, Mexico, plus the Netherlands and Belgium jointly, have told local media they will join the race before the deadline passes.

World soccer’s governing body decided in 2007 to adapt its continental rotation policy, announcing that future World Cups could not be staged in any continent that had hosted one of the two previous World Cups.

If Indonesia’s expression of interest develops into a full bid, it could be in direct competition with fellow Asian football confederation members Japan and Australia.

A similarly tight internal battle is expected in Europe if England, Russia, Spain/Portugal and Netherlands/Belgium all confirm their bidding interests.

FIFA is due to announce the hosts of both the 2018 and 2022 tournaments in December 2010.

The Cure for Cancer

An interesting book my parents gave me for last Christmas, entitled “The Enzyme Factor” – Diet for the Future that prevent heart disease, cure cancer, stop type 2 diabetes, etc.

Dr. Hiromi Shinya MD, a professor from Japan wrote this book. It also talks about interesting facts such as why sick people should not be fed with rice porridge and why milk is bad. This surprises me as I remember all the “Got Milk?” ads/campaign in recent years, promoting that milk is good for us where in actuality it is the most difficult ‘food’ to digest.

Wanna know why? Wanna know what the cure for cancer is? Then read his book yourself.

Crunchyroll Revolution – An open letter to shinji…

As some of you might know, crunchyroll.com took away ‘user-upload videos’ feature and moved into ‘licensed-legal streaming’ feature, provided directly by the licensors. The famous Naruto Shippuuden will be aired at crunchyroll.com just one hour after it shows in Japan in HD (for those that are willing to pay $7 a month). The HD quality will be available for free 1 week after it airs in Japan.

But what I’m concerned here is not the animes. It’s the dramas and movies in general.
