Yahooo! Finally, this blog got PR (PageRank) 3. Just realized it today. Before this, neyokes.com is always PageRank 0. Don’t know why. May be because I didn’t update it often. Horrayy! Congratulation to me!

So, beginning from now I will try to work harder to increase the PageRank.

There are many web sites offer tools for webmasters to check for the PageRank status of their web sites. It can be easily found from the internet search engine. However, my favourite site is Google-PageRank.net because it’s page is very simple, just like Google’s page.

Other than Google-PageRank.net, I also use webmaster tools from Iwebtool.com. They have more wider range of web tools for free. But you could only use their tools for 5 times a day. To use it more than 5 times, just register yourself and login.

Another internet ranking I (and also other webmasters) also concern is Alexa’s Traffic Ranking. For now, neyokes.com only manage to be at 1,041,379.

Yesterday morning, a friend of mine called from Kulai, said that the flood in Kota Tinggi is getting worse. He could not go to the center of the town at all.

He was actually wants to go to Kluang, but the road to Kluang has been closed because of a bridge has been swayed by the river. So he cancelled the trip and went to Kota Tinggi.

TV3 News, last night, also aired some scenes from Kota Tinggi. The water level almost achieves the second floor of most of the buldings there. There is also a bus, at the bus station trapped in the flood.

This is the second time Kota Tinggi being flooded, in just 3 weeks. Continuous heavy rain these three days has brought the floods. The heavy rain is expected to continue until Monday. Really bad.

Updated on 28 January 2007: No more flood at Kota Tinggi. I went to Kota Tinggi on 26 January. There was no more flood. But really sad when only a few shops opened.

The CIMB Bank is operationing at the 2nd floor. No ATM Machine. I didn’t really knew about Maybank. It was like they were doing a full renovation. They had about 6 machines before the flood which I believed that all their ATM machines were submerged.

Bank Simpanan Nasional’s ATM was operationing like normal and also the bank. While other bigger bank is still crawling to take action, the BSN is faster this time. Unlike a BSN.

Kini supermarket, was already re-opened since January 25. There were so many people there when I arrived! Many of them interested to shop for cheap submerged goods.

I also heard some people said that some shops will never be opened again such as a Hyundai car dealer beside the BSN, KIA car dealer infront of ESSO abandoned petrol station, a computer shop at Jalan Niaga 7, severals aquarium shops, an internet cafe near Plaza Kota Tinggi, some electronic shops and many more.

A house builder(?) Abdul Razak Mat, 53, have won RM1 million from TMNet’s RM1 Million Reward Program. I just read it from today’s www.utusan.com.my

Abdul Razak from Paser Putih, Kelantan who is a Telekom Malaysia’s ™ customer since 1994, won the first price with his son help, a UTM student. They have created the slogan together. Their slogan is “Bersama TM Merintis Kemungkinan, Bersama Celcom Menggenggam Kejayaan, Bersama TM Net Menerokai Pasaran”.

The main objective of this programme is to enrich TM’s existing customer profile database in order to serve our customers better through direct and targeted communications.

This reward programme is also aimed at rewarding the customers for their ongoing support and loyalty to TM. In addition, the program is also aimed at encouraging Celcom’s prepaid mobile customers to register their prepaid service in line with the Government’s call for all prepaid customers to register before 15 December 2006.

So lucky!!!

I also had participated in this program, but unfortunately won nothing…

Proton have launched a new facelift for Proton Savvy for Taiwan market.

I think it have not so much different from Savvy with R3 bodykit sells in Malaysia. The only ‘lifts’ I realize are the front grill and the funny V backside are gone.

Yeah, the V backside is too funny to be on the little car. How the designer thought at that time I am just wondered.

Huh!.. what is that little screen on the center of the dashboard? What is it for? There is none in the Malaysian model.

However, in my personal opinion, this Proton Savvy is so cute!

A few hours after Apple Computer announced it’s mobile phone,
“iPhone”, it being sued by Cisco , a giant networking company. Cisco accuse that Apple is infringing its iPhone trademark. Even in Wiki, an iPhone is referred as Apple product. It’s not fair!

Cisco obtained the iPhone trademark in 2000 after completing the acquisition of Infogear, which previously owned the mark and sold iPhone products for several years. Infogear’s original filing for the trademark dates to March 20, 1996. Linksys, a division of Cisco, has been shipping a new family of iPhone products since early last year. On Dec. 18, Linksys expanded the iPhone® family with additional products…. read more

An iPhone, before this, is known as a Voice Over IP Phone, a product of Cisco. A telephone that works over the wireless network within a person’s home to make cheap phone calls over the Internet.

What so special about iPhone? Why Apple wants to name it mobile phone as iPhone? I believe, it is because of the iPod name. Apple cannot live without iPod. To survive (or to boost it sales) it’s product must depend on iPod, an “i” name-based. iPod has been sold for more than 70 millions units around the world.

Personally, I don’t like “iPhone” name, but I like “iPod”. I think, iPhone is not a product or a brand. It’s like a line of products such as the internet-based phones. iPhone name used by Cisco is more suitable.

If the tables were turned, do you think Apple would allow someone to blatantly infringe on their rights? How would Apple react if someone launched a product called iPod but claimed it was ok to use the name because it used a different video format? Would that be ok? We know the answer – Apple is a very aggressive enforcer of their trademark rights. And that needs to be a two-way street… read more at Cisco blog

Apple’s iPhone is a multimedia product. It don’t have to relies on “i” name. However, Apple is so stuborn and wants to use the iPhone name whatever it takes.

Come on Apple! Thrash that name! You do have other much better ideas don’t you? Just use any other name such as jPhone kPhone, lPhone or mPhone .
