Hopefully, they could port the Sweet Dreams theme to Gmail also.

If you guessed that I was wearing a checkered shirt, we’ll then you’re one of them. And the weirdest thing was when we’re at the office, another fan said it out load.

Fanboys. LOL

Update: It’s an upcoming feature, cookie-based. See comments for details. It’s already rolled out. Cool.

From the awesome Xandros easy interface,

to the advanced mode

and now Windows XP.

The main reason for the platform change is for my phone’s PC Suite app. MobEee is about 3 times faster than our old desktop and it’s a better experience when surfing online via 3G on a faster unit.

Though there are two cons on this change; first is the diminished disk space on the main SSD and second is ASUS’ one too many programs running on the background. But those cons can be easily fixed because of the remaining USB slots and the SDHC card slot for more storage and the countless support groups for the Eee PC that compiled home-brewed packages of drivers stripped down to the core (yet to try).

Right now, I am really pleased with the change. Having 1GB or so left of free space, majority of the programs I got for MobEee are either the lite versions or the portable ones. Here’s my current program list and if you have some better, faster yet lighter alternative that you could suggest would be very much appreciated:

1. Abiword Word Processor - great and lightweight document editor (still thinking over whether to get Open Office or not).
2. AltDrag - for ALT+dragging those dialog windows that just won’t fit on the screen
3. AVG Free 8.0 - yep, this one for now. Says it has an anti-spyware, not sure if it works though.
4. CCleaner - to free up disk space after each surfing session, though I keep my histories.
5. Filezilla Portable - the best FTP client I’ve used.
6. FLV Player - for my archived videos from Youtube etc. (I download them instead of watching streaming content, it’s better that way).
7. Foxit Reader - the best lightest of lightweight and bloat-free PDF reader around. Why can’t Adobe create something like this?
8. Gimp Portable - for my image processing needs.
9. Sony Ericsson PC Suite - the main reason for the change.
10. WinRAR - for my un/compress needs.

All are conventionally installed to the main disk drive aside from the “Portable” ones stored on an SD card. It’s a short list but they’re some of the best. And I think it is very safe to say now that MobEee is a full-working UMPC companion.

Casablanca. My favorite classic movie so far. Just pure and raw drama; I love it. Here’s looking at you kid.

The Happening. OMFGoodness is the best phrase to describe this. Very surprising flick from Mr. Shyamalan. It was so morbid. But the weirdest thing was an officemate and I were laughing during those scenes. It was the first time that I intentionally kept my eyes shut (for the shortest moment, that is) during some of the scenes; really disturbing and haunting. Despite of the overall bad ratings received by this movie, I like it.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Crystal Skull. Quite good until the climax and the ending rolled. I expected more perhaps. But it is Steven Spielberg at one of his best.

Iron Man. Great movie! Belongs to my short list of great single superhero movies.

The Kite Runner. There was a hype back then about this movie, so when I saw it on the stands, I had to see it and it was really nice.

My Blueberry Nights. My first Wong Kar Wai flick and thankfully, I was not disappointed. Visually pleasing with its vividness but its “choppy” feel on some frames makes me think that the DVD that I got have stratches on them. Apparently, it is Mr. Wong’s style. Top-billed by Nora Jones, but for this movie fan, she was out shined by the gorgeous Natalie Portman.

No Country for Old Men. Great movie from the Coen brothers (Ethan and Joel). Straight forward story with some really disturbing scenes courtesy of the recent Academy Awards Best Supporting Actor winner, Javier Bardem.

Perfume: Story of a Murderer. Great story and truly one of a kind. Perfect thriller with an amazing cinematography.

Wanted. This movie is bad-ass! It is true what they say on Hollywood that there is no female actress sexier when holding a gun than Angelina Jolie. The tattoos and the brief glutes exposure made the movie even more appealing. Also, this is the first time that I saw James McAvoy (of Atonement) on a non-dramatic “human” role. He will definitely be in the business for a long time. Such a versatile actor. The car chase scenes and the gunplays are gripping. Quite predictable and leaves clues but it is still really good.

But I missed the one movie that shouldn’t be missed, though technically, I missed the last third and it still depresses me. I hope the DVD would come out soon.
