After knowing the development for SPlayerX has been stopped for more than 1 year, I jump back to use MPlayerX. After all, SPlayerX is fork from MPlayerX, that time I purchased SPlayerX was because of the auto subtitles download feature. But now, seem a lot bugs on SPlayerX still has not fixed yet.
On MPlayerX, there are some hidden functions which does not show on the Preference. Such as the animated full screen features that used the Mac OS X Lion is quite annoying, to make it work like the old time, you need to use terminal to access it.
cd ~/Library/Preferences defaults write org.niltsh.MPlayerX OldFullScreenMethod YES
The full list of hidden features you can use, can be found at here

Users who use Andriod phones know that the latest Android code named “Ice-cream Sandwich” (ICS). Now Kindle Fire users are able to install this latest piece of Android OS. Thanks to guys over at XDA forum release this alpha ICS ROM.
Before you start the process, you must aware that there are some risks and you are voiding your Kindle Fire warranty too.
Place both the ICS ROM and Google Apps add-on the root of your SD Card.
Power off your device and boot it in recovery mode. This is done by waiting the yellow triangle to appear during boot up, then press and hold the power button until the TWRP2.0 begins to load.
Make a backup first in the recovery mode. Just in case.
Go to the Home Screen and choose “Install”
Select ICS ROM to be “flash” as it appears on the right panel of the recovery window.
Select Google Apps add-on to “flash”.
Reboot your Kindle Fire and Ice-cream Sandwich should be working on it.
Previously I didn’t find there is any electrostatic issue on my old Macbook white, especially since it is plastic casing, won’t conduct any static electric. However, on the Macbook Pro aluminum unibody, it is not the case. It becomes very obvious “weird” feel when I rest my wrists on it.
After some investigation, I notice the direct plug connector to the Apple MagSafe adapter is plastic, this means that it is not grounded at all! But lucky the extended cord connector at least is grounded. So now onwards, I will be using the extended cord.
Not all Macbook Pro Unibody users will experience this, unless you 1.)using the direct plug 2.)using at countries with 220V power supply.
This is the direct plug I mentioned. It doesn’t connect to the adapter ground pin. Apple should recall this back.
Amazon recently announced their top selling games sales of 2011. Amazon has been doing well in selling both physical and digital distributed games. Often the games sold on Amazon are much cheaper than those on game stores.
I find it the result of physical and digital games are quite different. I guess it is possible because Amazon has been giving promotion on games like Civilization V for digital downloads. Besides that, not all physical games go for the digital distribution channel.
