THE GEOGRAPHY OF A WOMAN

Between 18 and 20 a woman is like Africa. Half discovered, half wild, naturally beautiful with fertile deltas.
Between 21 and 30 a woman is like America. Well developed and open to trade, especially for someone with cash.
Between 31 and 35 she is like India. Very hot, relaxed and convinced of her own beauty.
Between 36 and 40 a woman is like France. Gently ageing but still a warm and desirable place to visit.
Between 41 and 50 she is like Yugoslavia. Lost the war, haunted by past mistakes and massive reconstruction is now necessary.
Between 51 and 60, she is like Russia. Very wide and borders are unpatrolled. The frigid climate keeps people away.
Between 61 and 70, a woman is like Mongolia, with a glorious and all conquering past but alas, no future.
After 70, she becomes like Afghanistan. Everyone knows where it is, but no one wants to go there.

The 10 Commandments of Facebook

Seriously. Everyone needs to read this.
Depending on how Facebook imports my notes, here's the URL as well: http://www.cracked.com/blog/2008/09/10/the-10-commandments-of-facebook/

Google Bandwagon

Sometimes Google has great ideas. Sometimes they buy awesome ideas.

Sometimes they try, and fail miserably (Orkut? Lively?).

Most of the time, they do it right, and things only fail because people don't like change, and would much rather stick with the established products, thankyou very much.

So how will Google Chrome, a new web browser, fare in the wild? With the beta released yesterday/today/a few hours ago/recently, there have already been people complaining that it's missing some 'vital features'.
Example: Ad Block. Thing is, it's beta, it was released hours ago, and it's owned by people that market ads. Why would they even build an ad block feature into their own browser?! I wouldn't expect ad block until closer to a final release.

Let's just talk about how Chrome compares to other browsers in its primary function - browsing pages. Some people claim it loaded pages slower/didn't load some pages, while others say that they experienced no such problems on the exact same pages.
In general speed tests on graphics heavy pages, Chrome beat Firefox and IE.

So for now, Chrome is both able to browse better and worse than Firefox, with both being better than IE.

Until there is an extensive library of plugins for Chrome as there is for Firefox, it won't be ursuping FF as my primary browser.

Chaos;Head

Described by the development team as a 'Delusional Science' visual novel, Chaos;Head is garnering a new boost in fame with the recent announcement of an anime adaptation. What many of the visual novel community are more interested in, however, is the English localisation project of the game.

Translation was completed at break neck speed, and it appears that we'll soon be able to see just exactly 'whose eyes are those eyes'. Gore may abound, but we're in it for the psychology!

I, for one, want to know why there's an auction of a dead, possibly decaying man (he's green, for goodness' sake!) in a bathroom. Er...

Battle Moon Wars Act 4

Well, after one day, the C74 games are starting to emerge from the depths. The new Touhou game has been met by a growing horde of fanboys and girls, as has that "Magical Battle Arena" (there's a Kinomoto Sakura look-alike!)...

But the game I was looking forward to most was Battle Moon Wars Act 4. Technically, it's an expansion pack on top of the original Act, one that requires the other two expansions... >_>;; But let's not get into technicalities.

On the same day it went on sale at Comiket, a patch was released on WERK's support page. Not really something that inspires much confidence in their work, but as most of us were wondering if they'd even have anything ready for Comiket... Ah well.

Regardless, a lot of characters make their debut in this act, many of which are going to appear as playable characters (*cheers*). Aozaki Aoko and Bazett Fraga McRemitz are the ones I most want to test, but I'll have to wait until the game gets here. ;_;

Anyhoo, we all look forward to Aroduc's translation. :3
