It was no consolation, I tell you, even after Powerzone managed to clock some impressive times for the century sprint with my SR3 on Saturday. Sirazul of Powerzone was rather delighted with the numbers – quickest being 7.25s, from the previous 8.56s some months back. Way back when it was still virginal, stock with cat [...]

iCon: Steve Jobs : The Greatest Second Act In the History of Business
iCon Steve Jobs : The Greatest Second Act in the History of Business. What an honour to describe a man so undescribably passionate, one reputed to be the most influential individual in technology. Steve Jobs. My ultimate idol. If I ever meet him, I’ll kiss his feet. I love him. I love him for making [...]
Ankle Transplant Needed
In the middle of attempting bad tackles and shooting from long range, I limped off the Sunway Extreme Park futsal field last night. In pain. Barely 15 minutes of sweat and toil. My infamous left leg again managed a powerful long distance goal before I gave it rest. My left foot has gained quite a [...]
MyVI vs Savvy : The Great Malaysian Debate
Perodua’s MyVI and Proton’s little Kei-car Savvy seems to be caught in an intense battle for honours. From what I gather and observe in forums and blogs, the bigger MyVI seems to have the upper hand. At times not due to merit alone, but mostly echoed by the negative sentiments about Proton. In the quest [...]
Captain, this planet is hostile!
In what seems to be a prequel to War of the Worlds, the R3 thread on Zerotohundred has been invaded by hostile aliens for over a week. Seemingly endless fighting between naysayers and non-believers of the R3 (Race Rally Research, Motorsports Division of Proton) movement and SR3 owners and its supporters have brought much intensity [...]
Up next: Mactel vs Wintel
As Apple waves goodbye to the single processor 1.8Ghz Power Mac G5, it files a trademark application for the term ‘Mactel’, according to new Mac website – Mac on Intel. This move is likely to be more of a protective measure against misuse of the term, more so than the likelihood of Apple actually using [...]
How’s that for the century sprint?
It’s come a long way since the very first impression, hasn’t it? 7.44seconds for the century sprint isn’t half bad for a stock Satria R3 either Figures posted by Prozac in Car #0006. Recorded on a GTech Pro.
Satay Celup and Life In The Gravel Pit
I looked forward to Saturday with zest and little-boy enthusiasm. Although hardly catching enough sleep due to a crazy drive down to Melaka for ‘satay celup’ the previous night and returning at 3am, my eyes were wide open in anticipation of the adrenalin rush from burning rubber at the Sepang F1 circuit. The rather spontaneous [...]
A Savvier Savvy
Amidst the excitement surrounding Perodua’s mini-MPV MyVI (and the general public scrambling to make bookings), national monolith carmaker Proton releases the Tiara Replacement Model (TRM) oddly named Savvy. Rumours had it that it was initially coined Sassy, much to the horror of some. Having returned to a more *ahem* masculine name, the Savvy is 2nd [...]
But, but, but….What about RISC? Altivec?
In a shocking announcement, Apple has announced plans to use Intel microprocessors across its product line this time next year. Apple previewed a version of Mac OS X Tiger running on an Intel-based Mac at the Worldwide Developer Conference today. Is this the end of the PowerPC? It’s been 10 years, which has seen the [...]
