Obama urges students to work hard

Obama gave a speech at Wakefield High School today, urging the students to study hard. Obama urges students to work hard, stay in school http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/09/08/obama.school.speech/index.html He has a good reason to do so despite criticism from some parents accusing him of having political motives. American students are known for falling behind international standard, especially in Math and Science. America has been prospering because it has been able to keep many bright and promising workers in exchange for the American dream.

No symbols loaded for this document.” So I was like, easy, just delete all the temp files and restart. Well, not that easy, the breakpoints decided to stay hollow… Call me stupid, I try that again, still the same. ...

District 9

I finally got a chance to watch District 9, after hearing so much about it. For those of you not knowing what it is, here is the trailer: [youtube &hl=en&fs=1&] District 9 Trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSgLOvH_MMk But you know what, the trailer really doesn’t tell you much about the movie.

Making Chrome the default browser

If you have Chrome, I am sure you are enjoying the fast speed of page loading and other good stuff that comes along with it. I got sucked into the Chrome environment that I decided to make it my default browser. See below. One day, I realized Chrome was not supported by some of the websites I visited, or maybe the other way around Chrome didn’t support them. I was like, oh well, I guess I just have to switch back to my trusty firefox then. I went to the setting tab above, and I was like, how can I un-press that button? ...
