FREE SMS!!!

Are you having heavy usage of SMS everyday?
Are you facing expensive phone due to heavy amount of SMS and Phone Calling?

SMS short form of Short Text Messaging, is a very important tool of communication with family, your beloved, relatives, friends and working partners.
With the advance of the internet and online technology, SMS through phone are no longer the only option to send text messages.

With a connection to the internet, there are many websites that offer user to sent SMS to all over the world. Some are free and some are required to pay. Those providing free SMS mostly have limitation such as the character limits, advertisements supported and so on.

As I know, some of the websites that provide free SMS services are
http://www.text4free.net/


As you can see the limits of characters are only 140 per text messages

Do you have a Yahoo! account?
A Yahoo! Mail account provides a service that can sent free text messages to any mobile phone but provided the recipient have to reply you at least once to prevent spamming. 



Lazy to install Yahoo! Messenger?
Don't worry, this can be done directly from the Yahoo! Mail in Browser.


Bare in mind that the character per text messages are also limited


Not a Supporter of Yahoo? Never mind...
Recently I found out a website that can sent free SMS but only within Malaysia.
Just a simple registration needed and you can start using the Free SMS Service.
But the limitation of character is a bit lesser which is 100 characters.
But since it is a free service, so dont expect too much k?



Ohya, it also has some collection of meaningful SMS which you can use to forward to yout boyfriend girlfriend and friends...


I know you might have doubts, you might have questions, but before you becoming more confuse, why don't you start trying it for yourself first? 
Try it now!

Microsoft vs Apple vs Linux (Part 2)

Microsoft vs Apple vs Linux (Part 2)
History and the rises of Apple Computer

How many of you know the brand about Apple? I bet most if you did! 
Can you name all the products of Apple? It's a piece of cake, iPhone, Mac Book, iPod, iTouch, iPad, iTune and so on. 
But since when do you start know about Apple? Do know how long did Apple already existed? What are previous products of Apple before the arrive of iPhone, iPod, and Mac Book? And who is the founder of Apple?

Company of Apple which is Apple Computer Inc, the co-founders Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak successfully created the first Apple Computer in year 1976, 1st April.
Some of the earliest products / computers produced by Apple were such as Apple I, Apple II, Apple III, The Apple IPO, Xerox PARC, the Lisa and so on. 




Can you imagine these are the products of Apple once a long time ago?





Then after that it slowly become a better computer

Sadly during that time Apple Computer facing a very low sales and low market share in 1990s. Steve Jobs once left Apple Inc in year 1985 due to some conflict inside his company.
In year 1996, he returned to Apple Inc and become the CEO of the company. Then he and his team begin to research and think critically of their product line.

Apple once joined and partnership with Microsoft once in year 1997. At that time Internet Explorer was the default browser for the Macintosh Computer and Microsoft Office was released for Macintosh as well. Microsoft also invested 150 millions dollars in Apple, which it helps Apple return their success and gain back their sales and market values. 

Year 1998-2001 is Apple's renaissance period, it is when Apple produced iMac, iBook and Power Mac G4. The stylish and simple design of the computer and laptop successfully attract attention of the market and computer users, especially the younger generations. Plus it is all running on it's own Operating System. The Mac Os X. I guess this is when we start to know about Apple and it's product.

Also in year 2001, Apple produced its first portable digital audio player, the iPod. Then it keeps on producing many later versions of iPod as it is a hit in the market. iPod Touch, iPod Shuffle, iPod Classic, iPod Nano all are the once very famous products in the market of Apple.

After that very soon enough Apple introduce their first smart phone devices, iPhone.
Until now iPhone still has been a very high demand in the market. 
Now the latest product of iPhone is iPhone 4 which has all the top qualities of being a smart phone devices.

Now Apple is one of the largest technology firms in the world. I believe Apple will continue growing and will give a better result in the future, giving more surprise to the IT industry. It is not easy for a company to grow from almost falling until what they have succeeded today, with facing many strong competitors such as the baggiest IT Industry Microsoft. 
I'm not a fans of Apple, and I don't support Apple products very much, but I'm still feel impress with them and believe they will do better in the future. 



The End of Microsoft vs Apple vs Linux (Part 2)

Microsoft vs Apple vs Linux (Part 1)

Microsoft vs Apple vs Linux (Part 1)
"The Evolution of First Operating System"

Firstly I'd start of with a very simple question, what is an Operating System?
If you are using a computer, you really should, or can say you must know what is an Operating System about. Maybe you'd be more understand if I say it in this way, Windows 7 or Windows XP.

Yes! Windows 7 or Windows XP and so on example of an Operating System (OS). In fact, it is the most popular and most common OS used in the market. Do you know Windows OS was created by who? Under what company? Founded which year? How does it started and so on? Today let's us learn some history about history of Operating System.

Operating System is a system that needed to run in a computer to let user perform any tasks or run any applications. Can you expect how would it be look like if your computer doesn't have Windows 7, Windows XP or any Operating System? It would just be a black screen with lines of commands and codings.


It will some how look like this...


When computer was first invented in 1970's or 1980's, there is no Operating System exist yet. 
Those days computer was just to help perform some simple and complex operation. Some used by military for war purpose. Those days computers was impossible to login facebook, chatting using msn, playing dota using GG, watch movies, listen songs, browse youtube and so on which we are doing everyday right now. 
In year 1983, a person named Bill Gates spending all his efforts, times, and sweats, he successfully created an Operating System named as Microsoft Windows. 



Of course it was a very successful invention and very soon it produce more later version of Windows such as Windows 1.0, Windows 2.0, Windows 3.0, Windows NT, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista and until now the latest version of Window 7.
There are actually a lot more versions of Windows which some are sub-version and trail versions perhaps... To look at the full list of history of Microsoft you can refer to this site http://www.computerhope.com/history/windows.htm





Since Microsoft Windows is created, every computer was running on Windows OS and the number of computer users increased tremendously. This makes the founder of Microsoft Windows, Bill Gates become billionaire just within a short period of time. 
Now Bill Gates is the richest man on earth and the most powerful man in the world. And his company Microsoft also known as the biggest company in the world. 

Nowadays almost every houses owned a computer or laptop at least one, two or even more. I can roughly estimate more than 70% of the people in the world are using a computer or laptop in their daily life or at least know how to use a computer.
Microsoft Windows was the only OS available in the market for computer devices until Apple Mac Os and Linux Open Source OS came in recently.  

In the next part I will take about the history of Apple Mac OS and it's strategy to compete with Microsoft Windows OS. Stay tune for more!
