This is the new Windows Operating system called Long horn
Pirated Cds in Malaysia and the buyers.. lucky I wasn't buying any when they took this picture!!
Guess what? Yesterday was almost unbelievable -
My lovely little town of JOHOR BAHRU was mentioned in the BBC world service Radio! Hey! I guess those who listened to it would surely remember it! And it'll be possible that tourism will flourish here and many tourists will come to Malaysia just to go to JOHOR BAHRU (and not the capital city of Kuala Lumpur!).
Why? Because they've mentioned JOHOR BAHRU as the centre of piracy for the whole wide world. Damn!
Wonder why the BBC did'nt tell the listeners - if they really interested in these pirated copies of CDs, DVDs etc. they should go straight to HOLIDAY PLAZA shopping centre once they've landed in SENAI Airport.
That's the best place to get the latest movies that has not even been released in the US yet. It's the piracy world of its own.. It's the planet of illegal compact discs..
And the centre of the debates was about this latest windows operating system called
LONGHORN )due to be released in 2006, note that!!!) that still in the pre-beta version. Meaning - it is almost to the point of useless if not dangerous if you try to install it in your computer.
But ironically, they've already sold it in JOHOR BAHRU market for about RM 6 or RM 5 if you are regular customers. (about USD 2 dollars).
I know we
hate Bill Gates and Microsoft stuff but it should've not happened this way. It's disgracing to our country.
Which reminded me that we ourselves are the ones that buy these pirated things. Go have a survey and you'll find out that at least there is a copy of pirated CDs or DVDs in almost 99% in every house in Malaysia!!!!
And about the news yesterday, I almost wish that I could just press the CONTROL ALTERNATE DELETE buttons on people minds so that they wouldn't remember about Johor Bahru being the centre of pirated Cds.....
