Will, if you are using a Mac, and you needs Microsoft Silverlight to be installed to surf some sites, try download WM Components (version 2.3.1.2).

Starcraft 2, Wings of Liberty

March 1, 2010 at 1:23 pm · Filed under Personal

Yeah.. Finally, got to try it..

I am quite lazy, so I installed it via Parallels Desktop (which the graphic handling is way much better than VMware)..

Although I can install Starcraft via Parallels, the graphic performances are still not good enough to handle the gameplay. So when it comes to playing, I still need Boot Camp.

So after installation, you still need the “hack” (lazylaunch). If you get the entire package from torrent, you will see that the “readme” is very confusing. Just upzip the “lazylaunch2″, include the maps to your Starcraft folder, and launch the Starcraft Application.

You will see the following screen :

Well, just forget about getting an account (pointless). Press “Esc” to exit the window, leaving StarCraft to be active behind the background. Go and launch the “lazylaunch2″ and select the map you want to play.

*If press “Esc” key does not help, then just click on the Windows button (in Mac, it is “Command” key). Then right click on the StarCraft on the taskbar, and select “Close Window”. And launch Lazylaunch2 from there.

*Select your Map

The infamous Zerg..

The Protoss..

And the Marine…

I’ve yet to really sit down and play.. Will update more when I get a chance to do so..

Sony Bloogie, a 360 camera

February 28, 2010 at 5:55 pm · Filed under Technology

Well, this is it. Sony Bloogie, a mini camcorder/camera that allows you to record HD videos, high resolution pictures and also, allow you to take a 360 degree picture..

I do believe that the video and picture captured will be awesome, but seriously, something is very wrong with the design. Everything is out of place, and if you are left-handed, you will find it very hard to use it. Buttons and knots are everywhere..

Made me appreciate iPods even more. IF, you want something more simple, try Creative Vado HD 3RD (4GB).

Well, when it comes to offerings, even God has preferences..



KFC, the best chickens.. Even for God. *Take note that I did not use the word “Allah” to address God, so don’t burn my website please.*

Mac OS X Terminal Command to Log Out the Current User

February 22, 2010 at 9:10 am · Filed under Mac, Technology

There is no ‘nice’ way to log the current user out from Terminal in OS X. The ‘messy’ way of doing it is to kill that user’sloginwindow process. It will rudely kill all processes (programs) running under your username.

Doing this is a two-step process. In terminal, run this:

1. ps -Ajc | grep loginwindow

2. sudo kill <pid>

All users which login will have a PID <Process ID> for running loginwindow.
