Kinect for Xbox 360




Copy & Paste from: http://www.engadget.com/2010/11/04/kinect-for-xbox-360-review/

And just like that, all three of the major game consoles now have some semblance of motion controls. Unlike the Nintendo Wii and PlayStation Move, however, Microsoft's Kinect for Xbox 360 opts to get rid of buttons altogether, relying on body gestures and voice commands. As the (estimated to be $500 million) ad campaign says, "you are the controller" -- for better and for worse. Read on for our full review!

MAHA 2010

The Malaysian Agro Exposition Park Serdang (MAEPS) is Asia’s largest and most comprehensive showground and exposition facility. Owned by the Ministry of Agriculture and Agro-based Industry, Malaysia, MAEPS was conceived on the same platform which the Ministry has used to successfully rebrand the agriculture sector as evidenced by its motto “Agriculture is business”.

Truly, there is no other venue in Asia so perfectly suited to spearheading primarily the promotion of the business of agriculture, the agro-based sector and secondly other industries. The 100-hectare site is an exposition and convention facility with a difference. MAEPS is the ideal location for your next event. MAEPS is situated on the nothern top of the Malaysia’s Administration Capital, Putrajaya and is strategically located midway of Kuala Lumpur International Airport and the city centre of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.


OBJECTIVE
  • To act as an information centre, for creating awareness on the latest innovation and new technologies to the target groups, with the aim of increasing their agriculture production, standard of living and income.
  • To provide a platform of meetings for the sellers and the buyers
  • To promote agriculture as a career, that could provide promising future and guaranteed lucrative
    income in order to attract entrepreneurs and the young generation
  • To position Malaysia as a centre of excellence in the development of agriculture and the agrobased
    industry in order to attract private and foreign investment.

Note from Bahagia Keselamatan UPM

Sukacita dimaklumkan acara MAHA 2010 akan diadakan pada 26 November 2010 5 Disember 2010 di tapak Ekspo MAEPS. Berdasarkan pengalaman siri acara MAHA 2006 dan acara MAHA 2008 telah berlaku kesesakan lalulintas yang teruk. Dijangkakan juga acara MAHA 2010 ini akan berlaku kesesakan lalulintas. Hasil daripada beberapa perbincangan pihak penganjur dengan Bahagian Keselamatan UPM beberapa punca kesesakan telah dikenal pasti. Rancangan dan tindakan penambahbaikan telahpun diambil oleh pihak penganjur untuk mengurangkan kesesakan. UPM sebagai jiran terdekat dengan MAEPS akan turut menerima kesan kesesakan yang berlaku.

Beberapa rancangan kecemasan telah dirangka dalam usaha UPM membantu pihak penganjur dalam mengurangkan kesesakan. Rancangan laluan alternatif bagi staf UPM telah pun kami umumkan dalam Buletin:/2010/NO:2843. Staf UPM tidak digalakkan menggunakan laluan MARDI-UPM kerana laluan tersebut akan dijadikan
laluan tiga lorong ke tapak Ekspo MAHA 2010 dari lampu isyarat Fakulti Veterinar (baharu) dan laluan satu lorong sahaja digunakan untuk ke FPSK dari kampus induk.

Sekiranya berlaku kesesakan yang teruk, parkir alternatif akan digunakan di padang kawad UPM dan di Parkir Berpusat, pengunjung akan dibawa ke tapak ekspo menggunakan bas yang dikendalikan oleh pihak MAEPS. Laluan keluar dari tapak Ekspo MAHA 2010 dan UPM akan melalui jalan Stadium UPM dan dikendalikan oleh petugas Bahagian Keselamatan UPM.


Bagi staf UPM yang ingin berkunjung ke Ekspo MAHA 2010, tuan/puan dinasihatkan supaya tidak meninggalkan barang-barang berharga di dalam kenderaan. Sila sediakan payung di dalam kenderaan masing-masing. Untuk makluman tuan/puan, bayaran RM3.00 akan dikenanakan sebagai caj parkir dan pergerakan menggunakan trem di dalam kawasan ekspo adalah percuma.


Saya memohon perhatian dan kerjasama semua staf UPM agar dapat datang awal ke pejabat dan banyak bersabar ketika tuan/puan terperangkap di dalam kesesakan lalulintas. Ini adalah sumbangan kecil yang dapat kita semua berikan dalam usaha membantu pihak MARDI dan MAEPS menganjurkan acara yang besar bertaraf antarabangsa.

Branson loses the bet, AirAsia prepares for flight with skirt-wearing billionaire


PETALING JAYA: It looks like Virgin Group boss Sir Richard Branson will be dressing up as an AirAsia stewardess after all for losing a bet with Lotus Racing team principal Datuk Seri Tony Fernandes over which of their teams would do better in the just-concluded Formula 1 season.

The two men had made a bet at the start of the season in March that the loser must serve as a “stewardess” on the winner’s airline.

Despite both teams failing to score any championship points throughout the season, Malaysian-backed Lotus Racing finished ahead of Virgin Racing in all but two races (in Italy and Singapore).

After the season’s final race at the sensational Yas Marina circuit in Abu Dhabi on Sunday, Lotus finished in 10th spot while Virgin finished last among the 12 teams.


Fernandes said: “It’s time for Richard to start preparing himself for some hard work ... and the likely pain of a pair of high heels!”

The date of the Kuala Lumpur-London AirAsia flight has yet to be set, but seats will be auctioned off and the money given to Branson’s chosen charity.

“We have agreed that we will run an online charity auction for the seats on the route to raise money for a charity of Richard’s choice and give fans of both teams the chance to be on the flight.

“The aim is to raise as much money as we can for a good cause ... So the discomfort Richard will have to go through will be worth as much as it possibly can be.”

The friendly wager aside, Fernandes was delighted to have achieved the team’s primary target to be the best team among the newcomers.

Besides Lotus and Virgin, the other new team on the grid was the Spanish Hispania Racing (HRT) team, which finished 11th.

“I am completely relieved, completely ecstatic, happy and vindicated in making the decision to go into F1,” said Fernandes, who had the support of Malaysian conglomerates like Naza, Proton and Maxis to bring Lotus back into the premier racing fraternity after a 16-year hiatus.

“To complete 19 races and finish in 10th spot, after having just five months to build the car, is something that is truly magical.”

“This is the first chapter of a long career ahead and we will create our own future, destiny and history from here,” said Fernandes.
