URL blocking in Malaysia? But why through Saudi Arabia?

I checked RedesignMalaysia.com and found it’s latest post about Malaysia blocked access to a blog by a Malaysian called The Datin Diaries’s blog, i don’t know what this blog is all about, but from the title and URL itself, i don’t think it got something offended content till this blog should be blocked. Do you know this blog? or you ever read it before this?

I quoted the message at this blog, anyhow its quite confusing.

The new Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 (IE8)

Microsoft lately announced about this all new version of Internet Explorer which is version 8. Although its currently still in beta stage and available for download as a preview for web devolopers and designer, Microsoft was highlighted some of great features (nway it’s always said like that everytime of new version release.. LOL ) such as improved security, improved html ( what’s this? surfing web more faster? ) and others improved features from the previous version. Check details features of Internet Explorer 8 here.

Anyway, will you use it when the full version released soon? I don’t know how much improvement we will get from IE 8 since its still in beta stage and the second beta version expected to be released next summer. Talk about the previous version, i quite unsatisfied about IE 7 which for me there should need more improvement from Microsoft in security related issue, browsing speed and web compatibility. Why i said this is because i once got virus while using IE 7 and also slow browsing speed and some incompatibility while viewing some websites. I don’t know how to explain it technically but the browsing speed was differ when i surf the same website using Opera ( the best web browser, i think ). And i think Microsoft should improve this browsing speed so that it’ll give some new browsing exprience for their IE-user. Read more »

The reason of slow internet connection

If you noticed these few days, the internet connection here (Malaysia) little bit slow or mostly we can says s*ck. Why? The reason is here…..

A submarine cable in the Middle East has been snapped, adding to global net problems caused by breaks in two lines under the Mediterranean on Wednesday.The earlier break disrupted service in Egypt, the Middle East and India. “The situation is critical for us in terms of congestion,” Omar Sultan, chief executive of Dubai’s ISP DU, told The Associated Press, following the most recent break.

South East Asia network mostly will route from your country to Taiwan, India and other country and as India line faced the same problem and it cause us getting the same problem as well. Singapore line mostly route the other way to Australia and will not affected

If you remember last time, we also faced the same problem of slow internet connection due to earthquake. So, who should we blame for this issue?ISP? haha. well, i think you’re mature and intelectual enough to think about this problem. Hopefully, this problem can be fix asap. Hoho.. i can’t live without internet haha.. its my life! please give back my life! wakakka.. oh forget to tell you guys, i don’t know weither this issue’s reason is true or not. But i got this info at xbrain blog.
