The Zone

zerotau posted a picture of his workplace the other day, so I thought I'd do the same myself. :D It's not as messy but what's not pictured are the 10 or so product boxes aptly "boxing" me in my cubicle. I'll spare you the utter cluttersome of my workplace surroundings and just quickly describe what's on my desk.

Need.to.buy.new.phone!

Mobile phones are evil, I tell you. New models are coming out so fast that that not a month goes by without me contemplating to change my trusty 'ol RAZR to one of these new fangled beauties on the market today. The urge is just too hard to resist.

I have my eyes set on several models (some available now, and some coming soon), but I'm not planning to give in anytime soon. I hope I don't, at least not until my RAZR dies.

So, here are some of my poison. What's yours?

It's only a couple more months to Christmas but we're already in the mood for giving away freebies!

Nope, we ain't dead. We've been busy rushing the articles during the Deeparaya break, and then we had the double whammy of moving to our new office, which really ate into our blogging time.

The good news is that now that we finally got our connection all set up and we've already moved and arranged most of our stuff in the new office, we should be back to blogging on a regular schedule. Plus our new office looks really swell. : ) Look forward to more local IT and gaming updates from The Zone soon!

That's right. GameAxis Malaysia is giving you the chance to watch another movie for free again. This time its for the movie Deja Vu, and its day before everyone else does as well!

All you have to do is bring along the November issue of GameAxis Unwired Malaysia to the screening at least one hour before the movie start to redeem a pair of tickets. Hurry, limited tickets are available.

Date: 29th November 2006
Time: 9.30pm
Venue: Cathay Cineleisure Damansara (next to the curve)

PS: Please come one hour before 9.30pm to redeem your tickets.

The last PC Fair of the year has come and gone, and surprisingly, there weren't many exciting things there, except for the appearance of Crucial RAMs and a couple of super great deals (who doesn't want a HP monochrome laserjet for 199 plus toner plus warranty??)

The HWM/GameAxis booth was also giving out great deals, with a year's subscription to HWM netting loyal subscribers a Lexmark printer, TV Tuner card, and a whole lot freebies. Gamers recieved a Bagman bag worth RM120 for a year's subscription to GameAxis!  Look what our readers have to say:

Anyways, enjoy the booth babes! (we spotted Cheryl working for Toshiba this time) more pics after the jump! 

Why do you buy bigger hard disk drives for? Is it to meet your growing demands for storing precious digital pictures of your loved ones? Or to keep up with new applications that take up large disk space on your drives? Or...- oh hell, let's just admit it: we need bigger hard disk drives to keep our anime, TV dramas, and dirty movies. At least that's what Bill Watkins, CEO of Seagate Technology admits on a CNN interview:

"Let's face it, we're not changing the world. We're building a product that helps people buy more crap - and watch porn."

It's a brutally honest and candid opinion, so we'll give him for that. After all, what do you do with 500GB of hard drive space? Fill it up with hundreds of pictures of your pet bunny Fluffy? Now if you'll excuse me, I need to catch up on my weekly download of Wild n' Wet Weekend Getaways *cough*...

Engadget Chinese has captured a couple pictures of the Lantern Festival in Taiwan, where the Taiwanese district of Jiayi put up a massive 1:2.5 scale model of a Gundam in lantern form. Awesome! Since Malaysia likes making breaking records, maybe we should make a giant Zeon Lantern or something to counter it. ;)

Heya people! What a wonderful, gloomy and hot morning it is and while most of the exhibitors from last weekend's PC Fair is either dozing off or repacking their booths for the next one to come, I am proud to present to you a collection of deliciously cute and beautiful women that was spotted over the weekend. Let's face it, no R600, no cutting edge stuff, what are we supposed to photograph then?

Not only do you get to oogle and drool over these pics, but you can also vote for your fav darling via the comments box and we'll give you something in return!

As part of our efforts to revamp the current Hardware Zone Malaysia forums, we'll be doing some major spring cleaning. In the coming weeks, several non-performing forums will be consolidated to a single forum, and really old threads will be deleted. If there's any particular thread of interest that you haven't read or saved yet, we suggest doing so now!

This is another one of those non-tech posts but this one is a good one, I promise. Just watch the video and guess how did he change the color of the cards. :P

Okay, this is another non-tech post but if this is not the funniest video you've ever watched, we will close this blog down tomorrow. Its Michael Jackson's Thriller done in Telegu, but with "English" subtitles/lyrics. Enjoi. We did.

PS: It's quite an old video but we just remembered it. Credit goes to our counterparts at www.gameaxis.com for discovering it first.     

Again, this may be old news but we couldn't resist. It's two different videos of the same prisoners in the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center in the Philippines doing Michael Jackson's Thriller dance and that dance from the popular anime, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.

Incredible. We never knew prison was so much fun.  

Words not needed really. Just watch.

A special prize to the first person to answer correctly. The answer after the jump.
