NHS in Malaysia

NHS system to be deployed in Malaysia projected in 2013. Patients care would be driven by personal GPs. All health care costs regardless whether they are from government or private services will be covered by 90% subsidy. The rest depends on individual patients capability to pay. The new system is aptly named 1Care.

Unlocking iPhones by O2

Apparently O2 has already offered this in 2009. Anyhow, it's a good news for every iPhone users especially for those who are planning to upgrade to iPhone 4 with the intention of using their current iPhone with other carriers.

I think people will appreciate it if I explain briefly what sim-locks are. According to wikipedia, sim locks are capability (codes) built into gsm mobile phones that prevent their usages from other carriers. Basically.

Generally, there are 3 types:

1. Mobile Country Code: the phones can only be used in 1 country.

2. Mobile Network Code: the phones can only be used with 1 carrier. i believe this is the

commonest one. some of them are very restricted, viz., absolutely no

access to the phone from other carriers. some are less restricted, in

Malaysia, some phones come with labels on it like vodafone, 3, etc.,

the users can use this phone with Malaysia carriers but with possible

restriction on internet access eg gprs, edge and 3g.

3. Mobile Station Identification Number: the strictest one, only one sim is allowed.

I believe sim locks are softwares in nature, in other words, you can unlock it with counter-softwares. The most popular unlocking software for iPhones is Jailbreak. Unlocking iPhones with Jailbreak is a rather straightforward process where you can learn from youtube or send your iPhones to the shop for a minimum waiting time.

Anyway, for those who wish to unlock their iPhones, it can be done over the air, viz., you don't need to send your iPhones to O2. Just fill in the unlocking form and wait for within 2 weeks time (I unlocked my iphone in just 2 days time).

It should be noted, iPhone 4 is the exception to this. For iPhone 2g, 3g and 3gs, you can unlock them ANYTIME but of course, you will still need to pay for the remainder of your contract.

Unlocking for pay monthly customers is free but costs GBP15 for pay and go customers.

Lastly, here is the link which include another link to unlocking form:

The Turtle Theory

Got this from a friend. Made my day.

A well-known scientist (some say it was Bertrand Russell) once gave a public lecture on astronomy. He described how the earth orbits around the sun and how the sun, in turn, orbits around the center of a vast collection of stars called our galaxy. At the end of the lecture a little old lady at the back of the room got up and said 'What you have told us is rubbish. The world is really a flat plate supported on the back of a giant tortoise.' The scientist gave a superior smile before replying, 'What is the turtle standing on' 'You're very clever, young man, very clever,' said the little old lady. 'But it's turtles all the way down.'

anyone else but you

Your part time lover and a full time friend,
The monkey on the back is the latest trend,
Don't see what anyone can see,
In anyone else,
But you

Here is a church and here is a steeple,
We sure are cute for two ugly people,
Don't see what anyone can see,
In anyone else,
But you

We both have shiny happy fits of rage,
I want more fans, you want more stage,
Don't see what anyone can see,
In anyone else,
But you

I'm always tryin to keep it real,
Now I'm in love with how you feel,
I don't see what anyone can see,
In anyone else,
But you

I kiss you on the brain in the shadow of the train,
I kiss you all starry eyed,
My body swings from side to side,
I don't see what anyone can see,
In anyone else,
But you

The pebbles forgive me,
The trees forgive me,
So why can't,
You forgive me?
I don't see what anyone can see,
In anyone else,
But you

Du du du du du du dudu
Du du du du du du dudu
I don't see what anyone can see,
In anyone else,
But you.
