This August when attending the convo of a friend of Universiti Sains Malaysia, I got the opportunity of having a glimpse of the luxury MayBach car of His Highness, Malaysia’s Perlis State Sultan as it parked at the entrance of the venue where the graduation ceremony was held. His Highness is the Chancellor the university and had come to confer the degrees to graduates on the day. Here are four pictures (larger versions) taken at the time and now released under Creative Commons Attritubion Share Alike 3.0 License (or CC-BY-SA 3.0). I am lack of knowledge about the cars and did’t know anything about this Germany-made super sedan. If anyone knows this Maybach car, don’t hesitate to let me know in the comment section. Thanks.

Black Desi and White Wanda HP Webcam Video became viral after hitting Youtube
Oops, HP Laptop webcam can’t recognize the black people’s face, and thus is being jokingly called “racist.” “Black Desi” and “White Wanda” are two colleagues.
The built-in webcam of a HP laptop in their office couldn’t “see” Black Desi’s face, no matter how he acted in front of the cam, its zoom just be null. But this was not true for White Wanda, when she moved head before the device, it simply followed her face around as she was in action.
The two recorded a tape for their hilarious moments using this problematic webcam and uploaded it onto the Youtube. The video clip titled HP computers are racist has attracted nearly 130 million views as of the time this entry was written up since it was live on December 10.
HP told to BBC they were informed of the situation, acknowledging it’s “a potential issue with the facial-tracking software included on some of its systems, which appears to occur when insufficient foreground lighting is available.”

Pope Doing 2009 Christmas Eve Mass (Video capture, AP / Youtube.com)
People attending Thursday’s Christmas Eve Mass by Pope Benedict XVI, picture left, had a terrific moment when a woman rushed to the Pontiff as he walked down the main aisle to begin the service last night in St. Peter’s Basilica, Vatican City. The woman was said to be mentally unstable. At the time the incident happened, the woman in red dress jumped over the wooden barriers and knocked down the Pontiff and Cardinal Roger Etchegaray as well before being controlled by the bodyguards. Her antics caused no injuries to Pope, who later continued the Mass and made no reference to the commotion. Glad His Holiness is all right! Read the rest of this entry »
