I’ve played through the open beta for Diablo 3, and there is alot of thoughts going on now within me.

Probably the best read about the difference between Diablo II and Diablo III could be found here. While I personally think that the change is pretty drastic, I am also incline to reason out that these changes have been made to assume that every players will be playing co-op games. And they probably have that in mind and start thinking through the game plays from there.

Like it or hate it, the story should be nothing short of epic. A newcomer might take it as it is, while a Diablo II gamer will find it hard to accept these...

At Nokia Connection 2011 at Marina Bay Sands, Nokia finally revealed their new flagship phone, the Nokia N9. And this means news for me. Now I’m not a fanboy of Nokia, but I highly like Nokia because of the little things they covered in their workmanship to produce top quality products which lasts and hassle-free. And this is the reason why Nokia is still in my mind when it comes to phone upgrade (In fact I’m still waiting for a phone release based on Windows Phone 7 Phone by Nokia). Throughout the years of using many other brands of phone, Nokia came to me as a manufacturer which places alot of emphasis on quality and sturdy built up to ensure phones will last through wear and tear period.

With the release of Nokia N9 today, I took a glance at the features of it and start to compare it with what I need to see how much it fits my criteria.

Nokia N9 Features

Now the Nokia N9′s specifications on paper seems very promising to me. As a frequent user of the internet for reading daily news, social networks, real-time updates of stocks and E-mail, The N9 satisfies most of my criteria which are pretty basic for a smartphone in this period of time. What I like about it would be the promising camera behind it which would most likely perform as good as the Nokia N8 which has been well received for being even superior than some digicams.

N9 sports a very ...

This will be one of the most controversial topics of all time. ‘What is an ideal nation? How does one define an ideal nation?’ Everyone was born from different place in the world and were brought up under different culture and environment, therefore the perception of ‘ideal nation’ is totally different from one to other. While there is no good answer to this (capitalism vs socialism), there remains some indistinguishable characteristics that everyone agrees on.

Equality

Citizens should be given the same equal rights at the legislation level for their being as a first class citizen of the nation. Citizens are like the oil of a Buggati Veyron, if you do not have enough oil, the super fast and expensive car will not move an inch. Having the same rights as the next citizen beside you makes you feel content as when you suffer from economic crisis, they too will suffer together. You do not see the same class of citizen who earns almost the same amount of wages able to enjoy luxurious lifestyle just because one have a privilege over the other by default. As pointed out in this post, a nation’s growth will only be stagnant as no one will want to let others get a free ride over their hard work.

Freedom

Freedom is a universal right of any citizens. Probably the few good examples of nations practicing freedom will be United States of America, United Kingdom, Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, South Korea. While the many policies implemented by these few countries may not be agreed by me, I do agree on their stand as a country of freedom, freedom even for their citizens to voice out their discontent towards their government. Some would say chaos will be unleashed when the citizens are given such rights and wreck havoc in the cities, but when you look at the recent rally by the Thais, it feels that the freedom in democracy is well in place. Any citizens who want to give its country a change for the better will never, ever want to resort to bloodshed. These are citizens who truly love their country and will not want to see their country going into the void. They do not want to stain their own country with blood of revolution, nor do they want the country to be trapped with a government which is undemocratic. Leave the bloodshed to the colonist and civil wars. Right mind thinking citizens will never ask for bloodshed in the first place.

However, when freedom is taken awa...

Unity is the state of being one or undivided, be it in mind or for a purpose. It is the pillar which holds the foundation for the success of an organized system. Without unity, the system will be in chaos, divided and without proper order among the population of the system. Nations will fall, corporations will collapse as a result of lack of unity among the populations.

Unity in the Warring Periods

Genghis Khan was a leader who managed to unite the many tribes and confederations in the Central Asian plateau. Prior to his military campaign, These tribes were strong in their own way and each of them were in no good ties with one another, leading to the constant chaos of raiding, plundering and revenge-led campaigns against one another, thus leading to a constant warring period. Under Genghis Khan, Mongol Empire is united as one and manage to expand its border to a wide area.

The warring period in China came to an end with Emperor Qin Shi Huang ending the constant battle among the states with a military sweep on each of the states, thus unifying China as one for the first time. Though he maybe a very cruel leader and his move had resulted in a massive lost of Chinese philosopher knowledge when he ordered every books in China to be burned, it remains the fact that China had at last been unified and the constant chaos had been a thing of the past.

Unity From the Heart

Unity is achieved in the Feudalism period by conquering and surpressing the population, which led to alot of bloodshed as a result. Unity in a nation itself does not need to go through bloodsheding process, nor shall it be able to be achieved by coercion or surpression. This works the same for corporation. In an organized system, unity will only present itself when everyone is content with their being in the system itself and unity will automatically be acknowledged by everyone and be applied across the entire network of organization, be it top to down unity or unity among peers. How do you expect unity to form among your employees when you’re implementing policies which prevents him/her from being treated equally even among his/her peers?
