N97 The Next Big ThingNokia recently gave us an insight on the up-and-coming N-series device at the Nokia World 08. Most notably the N97, a touchscreen Symbian S60 OS, with 3.5-inch touchscreen display, slide-and-tilt panel, full QWERTY keyboard, 32GB of internal memory, a 5 megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, GPS, touch-enabled Nokia Maps with a digital compass, an accelerometer for auto screen rotation and a proximity sensor for auto screen turn-off during calls.
Well, I’m very tempted by this beauty cos I’m heavily into mobile IM and text messaging, a QWERTY keyboard is a must! Currently, I’m using HTC S710 smartphone and still searching for the prefect phone with QWERTY keyboard to replace the ageing S710. There are HTC S740 and HTC TyTN II on my wish list but I may also need to see where my budget allows me to go for a device.
With N96 RRP at RM33xx, N97 priced above or similiar range with N96 would be a put off. With RM3K, I could bought a very high specs notebook. And HTC S740 RRP at RM2K and HTC TyTN II at RM25xx and the latest touchscreen non-keyboard HTC Touch 3G priced at RM2K could make it to my list too. So, checkout this beauty on the two official videos below.
 Palringo putting location based services into IMI’ve been using Palringo Vocal IM for the past six months now. At first glance, it’s just a multi-platform IM services with PTT vocal and photo messaging between Palringo’s users. But Palringo never stop there, they’re evolving everyday, from its functionality, user’s interface and it’s getting better. Back in June, I gave you a preview on what Plaringo looks like then. Today, lets give Palringo’s CEO, Kerry Ritz explains what are the buzz all about the new location based services that makes Palringo much better than other multi-platform IMs. Watch the video! Kerry Ritz of Palringo from Mobile Industry Review on Vimeo (5th Nov 2008) After watching the video, go and try it out yourself.

I’ve two chat rooms at Palringo, fortress anfield and fade to black. Feel free to joins those two groups. Weekend Flava: I Will Be (featuring Leona Lewis)This song was written and sung by Avril Lavigne in 2006. But never make it as an album cover due to uncertained reason. Later it was included in The Best Damn Thing limited editon album. This song also been sung by Leona Lewis in her Spirit debut album. This beautiful ballad by the punk rock queen and the sexy Leona Lewis definitely a hit for wedding song of the year. Enjoy!

Album of the month: Death MagneticMetallica Death Magnetic (Warner, 2008) Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Download tracks in MP3 from Amazon There ain’t much left for me to review on this album. Death Magnetic, Metallica’s ninth studio album after five years of soul-searching since St. Anger (2003), releases this much anticipated, long-awaited masterpiece thrash on 12 September. Do Metallica still have the edge for thrash metal? Darker, louder, edgy. Gone were the days of “Master of Puppets” and “…And Justice for All”. Why edgy? This album is almost like a band of ageing artists in their forties trying to be their twenties selfs. The truth is they can’t re-create the best era of their music from the mid-80’s. Death Magnetic, where Metallica trying to be Metallica again. And I can’t says that they’ve succeeded, just merely got back straight on their feets. Missed the sound of metal-ballad from “The Black Album” in the 1991, where the lyrics are more sensible and justified with the music they played. “What don’t kill ya make ya more strong,” Hetfield sings, a whole new verse of energy from the frontman, has given Death Magnetic a fresher sound. The whole album lyrics were written based on the band’s past, something to do with the rehab, psychiatry, etc. I always fancies their riffs and solos, from Sanitarium to One, mixed and mashed of Kirk Hammet’s rhythmic solos and James Hetfield’s powerful lead-guitar riffs. Although, Death Magnetic supposed to be lyrically theme on something about death but I can’t hardly understands. Many has criticised The Unforgiven II, which doesn’t matched it’s predecessor sound but for me, The Unforgiven III is kinda like re-visiting back Metallica’s great heydays and it was what’s really set me to get a grip on this album. The Day That Never Comes (in HD) The past glories can not be reclaimed with Death Magnetic, but at least this heavy-metal band are en-route to recovery. What the critics said: The musicianship feels thrillingly live throughout, and nimble new bassist Robert Trujillo helps, even though he's mostly heard as a distant, ominous rumble. – Rolling Stone Metallica certainly have a lot to prove with Death Magnetic, the follow-up to 2003’s "St. Anger," an album which divided the critics and the band’s own audience. – Hot Press The best ones spit in the face of death; this album instead finds aging men trying to reclaim their youth. – Pitchfork Death Magnetic at least proves that 40-something millionaires can make a valiant fist of recapturing the fury of youth. Sadly, though, it seems that Metallica will never be 20-years-old again. – Dot Music There’s a worrying air of desperation running through the band’s lyrical choices that thankfully doesn’t spill over into the music, but it is nonetheless a frequent distraction on an otherwise fine album from a heavy metal juggernaut that might just be kicking back into gear. – Sputnikmusic Virtuosity can be impressive without being particularly enjoyable, and it's hard to shake the feeling that for all the potent-as-ever prowess here, Death Magnetic is more a stamp of authenticity than a complete record. – Billboard Which brings us to the nub of what makes Death Magnetic such a resounding success. Death Magnetic could have dropped 15 years ago and been a logical conclusion to the "Black" album. Today, it emphatically brings Metallica full circle to an intriguing afterthought: what next? – musicOHM.com Weekend Flava: Given UpWeekend flava is back! This blog has been left in the cold for awhile. Will be back soon, I hope so. WARNING!!! Illicit lyrics!

It's nothing to boost about here lately, but yesterday afternoon, I received a mail from Text-Link-Ads, which contained my very first payout from using their publisher's service. It's not much, but a good starts as I only got USD27.81 from an ads placement sales at Red's Fury™ and thank you to Football Kits for their continuing supports. My next step is to get the cheque cash out at bank. So, what are you waiting for?

Red's Fury™ (Blogspot) 1st AnniversaryRed's Fury™ was created on June 1st 2007 to carter the needs for a full sports blog whereas Windows™ Live Spaces failed to compliment my requirements. There has been ups and downs while using the Blogger service. The ups are, you can do relatively anything with the service and you have total control from how it look, what to put in and so on. And the downs are the theme which I've been using for the blog went haywired and a scramble to fix the blog's theme was failed and almost convinced me to quit. During the countless weeks searching for a new theme, I've finally found the theme that suited me. Hence, the new-look Red's Fury™ 's theme being use till today was created by Carl Mason for WordPress and converted into a Blogger theme by JackBook.com. Another downs is the difficulties to understand the HTML which it took me some time to understand how to write simple HTML codes. Red's Fury™ no relations to the movie back in 1984 or the New Jersey's rock band Red 7 Fury. The name for the blog was referred to Liverpool Football Club "Reds" and the "Fury" the angst of a Reds fan and his frustration after the club's barren runs in collecting the 19th league title. Been supporting the Reds for 21 years, imagine my frustration after watching and waiting for 19 years now since Liverpool FC last won the league title back in 1989. Along the way, I've picked up some useful ideas of filling up the empty spaces in the blog. Monetized the available spaces with Google™ AdSense, ShoppingAds, Text-link-Ads and AffiliateFuture. There are many more publishers programs for you to choose from and earn revenues by placing ads to your blog. Have fun blogging while making money in the process. Red's Fury™ is totally committed to gives its readers the latest happening, results, interaction, discussion, ranting and views from Liverpool Football Club. Most of the ideas or news are from my point of views and some are from the news aggregators. It's purely unofficial and independent blog site.
