The new 2nd generation Ipod Touch


Personally speaking, Ipod Touch from Apple is one of the most innovative products in the market's latest technology. This 115 grams device makes me feel like holding all sources of media entertainment and productivity combination. Below is my own review on how great this thing is:

- 3.5" multi-touch screen
- Sleek interface design
- Built-in speaker and volume control button
- Wi-Fi connectivity
- Accelerator-taking gaming and viewing picture to another level.
- World's most popular video sharing site: Youtube
- Safari browser supporting graphical data
- Itune Store
- Genuis Playlist
- tons SDK and web applications.
- Nike + Support
- a bunch of accessories to pay for more
- etc...

What the Ipod touch lacks:
- Phone connectivity (sure, or it will become an iphone)
- Bluetooth (i doubt it has)
- A Camera
- FM tuner and transmitter (there is an accessory for this)
- Audio recorder
- Flash Player (for sites like imeem, hi5, khmer.be)
- GPS

Hopefully, one day we will have a device that could do all those things combined.

How to embed a Flash/SWF extenstion file on a blog



Requirement:
1. Flash Player. To download click here
2. Medium Internet Speed Recommended.

While I was browsing in My Computer folder which is running of space, it reminded me of a challenging game i had been fond of long ago. It is called "HANGAROO". Have you ever played before? It's similar to a HANGMAN except a hangaroo was used instead of a man. The object is to save a hangaroo from being hung by correctly filling out the missing alphabets. If you wanna download this game to ur PC, click here.

Thus, i asked myself how possibly i could share this game with others since it is only on my computer. Of course, you can just search on Google "Play Hangaroo Online" and it will show a bunch a sites in a blink of eyes that allow you to play it. Then i asked myself how possibly i could embed this game on my blog. Oh oh.... I got no clue at all how to embed something from a website that don't give "Embed Code". It sounds impossible for someone with no html background knowledge. The first thing i did was searching on helpful Google "how to embed flash player game on a blog" or anything i can think of. But Google turned out to be helpless this time. Google could not help everything.

When there is a will, there is a way. I spent a good 2 hours to get it done. I am willing to share the how-to-do:
1. Open a website with this game**. I used this one www.2dplay.com/hangar/hangaroo-play.htm

2. In your browser (IE v.7 for example), Click on Page. Then View Source. Different browsers have different paths. In any cases, look for View Source.

3. Ctrl + F. Then type "embed" to find the embed code.
Here is a sample of what u need to look for.
embed src="http://www.2dplay.com/hangaroo/hangaroo.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="550" height="400">

Once you find it, copy and paste it to your blog post. That's pretty simple and i hope you could do.

**Note: I tried a couple websites but only this one worked. So you might try and see what works.

**Note: You can embed flash or swf file such as games or greeting cards.

**Note: You can change the width and height to best fit your blog space.
