ICA: Ative Matrix vs Passive Matrix Display

  After reading the article on wikipedia regarding Active Matrix vs Passive Matrix display, what i get is, Passive Matrix display are used in early laptop and currently it is use on peripherals that need low power consumption and high readability under direct sunlight, where most active matrix display fail to achieve. Where as Active matrix display boost high resolution colour display, faster response time and refresh rate, which is suitable to be used in most consumer device such as Computer monitor, smartphone display etc. Active Matrix te4chnology such as IPS which boost a high viewing angle and colour saturation as used in Apple's product such as the iPhone and iPad which is comparable to a much superior technology such as AMOLED (Active Matrix OLED).
Note, Passive Matrix display comes with monochrome or coloured version, where by Active Matrix have only coloured version.

  The commence of the world book day at HELP CAT. various kinda books were on display and bookmarks were given to everyone. Another intersting things is that there's a funny tradition of exchanging a Rose with a book. Is kinda weird yet romantic-ish in the same time. Anyway is a nice experience, and I hope I could discover some interesting books or novel.

ICA: Triple Mouse Click

  The most commonly used of triple clicking the mouse is selecting the whole paragraph, while double clicking would only highlight the sentence alone. Triple clicking mouse also have different usage across different application or software.
  FYI, rotate wheel, press wheel and tiltwheel are all basically know as the scroll wheel or more commonly known as the middle mouse key. Most modern mouses's scroll wheel posesss all of this function some might have left out the tilt function due to manufacturing cost and also the Free-spin wheel which provide constant spinning by a mechanical motor and stop on demand. Useful for scrolling long spreadsheet. while the so called press thumb button are usually cater for gamers for added costomisable button

ICA: Differences Between Single Core Processor and Multi-core Processor

  In brief layman term, multi core processor are capable of completing task in a parallel way or pipelining . As few task are being executed simultaneously, but the software are required to optimise for multicore processor to fully utilise and maximize the full potential of the multicore processor. Where by single core processor are less efficient in multitasking though it is capable of it through specific software such as the Intel Hyper Threading Technology.
  Example of multicore processor such as the Intel Core i Series, AMD Phenom etc.

ICA: Thursday Surprise Dance Class

  I was surprise yet I enjoyed the class. We didn't know anything prior to it as the lecturers has keep their lips tight. As Mr. John directed us toward the destination, we're both excited and nervous, as we got no ideas what lies ahead.

  As we pass by the dancing studio and greeted by the beautiful and charming dancing teacher, by the way she's from Manchester, England.(PS: I forget her name =P). We began to realize.... what's going on....

  Sincerely I really do enjoyed the class, it was both relaxing and entertaining. The music, the movement, and the friendly and kind teacher. I believe that this is the first time I actually attended a dance class, if not something similar a martial art class? Taekwondo? haha

  Well this is one nice experience I have and I'm looking forward to the next class on this coming Thursday ^^

ICA: Introduction to Computer and Application Assignment

Tell about yourself

  Hi, my name is Joel, a typical guy who are deeply in love with computers and software. An android wielding Apple fan boy. Screwed up his life, and current doing his Diploma in Computer Science at HELP CAT. While aiming himself to get into second year Degree in Computer Science at Nottingham University. This is my aim and I shall not disappoint myself and my family again.

Why do you choose IT

  I happen to have an affection toward computer since I'm a little boy. It may be because that I was deeply fascinated by the computer in my living room when I'm small and petite. Amaze by the things this machine can do and achieve. While losing his computer since standard 1 or so, I couldn't recall. As his affection grew deeper even though he lost his computer.

  He went and search, and search for the ultimate computer and parts that he could ever assemble or buy. He researched, researched and researched, planning and charting his course to his ideal computer that suits his budget and requirement. He went on and on, discovering the parts inside the almighty computers, observe the rise and fall of the computer industry. Till today he charted the course to become someone notable in the computer industry, setting a path for himself by studying and learn from his own failure.

  Observing the startup and entrepreneur story that had succeed and failed, company being acquired, bankrupt and runaway success story such as Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook, and the recent millionaire Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger the founder of Instagram which was being acquired by Facebook for a whooping 1billion USD. I strive and work, so that one day, I could be as successful or more successful than them.

  The specific reason I chosen this course is because I've observe the companies requirement and the dream  jobs and company that I wish I could work at such as Dropbox, Google, Apple, Amazon and etc. requires a Degree in Computer Science, and that's the reason why.

The best gadget that you have or wanted to have, why?

  My under-powered small and petite android Gingerbread 2.3.6 Samsung Galaxy Mini? Currently other than an iPhone 4S successor or maybe a slightly more juiced up and relistically purchasable smartphone like HTC One V. I would like to have this smartwatch in complement with my phone.
