Is it good to upgrade iphone 4 to ios 6?

well, i have an iphone 4 which i bought in 2011. Currently i installed ios 6 in it.

it turned out that it become very laggy especially while browsing facebook.
fortunately my iphone was jailbreak before this. so it has some blobs.

so i use it to downgrade to ios 4.3.1, and it seem that with this ios, i cant installed latest app from app store, especially facebook.

so i decided to upgrade it from 4.3 to 5.0.1 using blobs, redsnow and tiny umbrella.

the iphone 4 works great, so i can conclude that ios 5 is the best for iphone 4. if you are currently using ios 5, please dont upgrade it guys.

cooler master elite 361 review user



i just got my cheapo mini tower from cooler master which is elite 361, a better version of elite 360. i choose this case because it is lightweight 4.8kg, small and slim, and easily portable, equipped with USB 3.0, high profile graphic card, this case also can fit regular ATX motherboard and ATX power supply / PS2.
 







Exterior finishing is good but the only thing is that it easily get fingerprint. it is matte, not shiny. it ca n fit 2 x 120mm fan which is at top and side panel, and 3 x 80mm fan - 1 at front and 2 at the back.
at front panel, there is a USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0.
For front air intake, there are small ventilation spaces at the side of front panel.



Interiorly, there is 5 HDD slot, 1 5.25" bay.  Power supply located at the front. top 120mm fan is supplied with the case, the rest u have to buy yourself.


slot for power supply, optical drive, 3.5" drive

cable management option. it has area for managing CPU fan, which sometime i require to open it for cleaning purpose.



 front panel is easily removed because it use clip. for fitting HDD, it is tooless.



so far im very please to have this USD 30 chassis,
contrast that i found are such as
- small front intake fan which is 80mm, which is less efficient for HDD cooling
-my power supply doesnt have 120mm at the bottom, so it might be a bit hot
-non removable HDD cage, i hope i t can be removed for better air flow
-easy finger print on case
-only one fan supplied
-only one top fan slot
-quite heavy such a small case, but it is a steel, not aluminium
-no acrylic panel option
-optical drive will be vertical if this case put vertically.
that is it.

My installation photos (updated 16 jan 2013)
my power supply is a bit bigger, so dvd drive cannot be fixed properly. mine is antec green 430 watt.

Citin hotel masjid jamek user review

well, few days back, my family went to KL, we booked Citin Hotel by net, worth about RM134 for one night. this hotel located exactly in town centre of Kuala Lumpur.
to go to this hotel, you can take LRT from KL central to Masjid jamek station. then you have to walk through Jalan Melayu and then Jalan Masji India for a very short distance.
in specific, walk into Jalan masjid India and turn left, for about 2 meter, then u have to go through a stall to go to the entrance for citin hotel.
left is the photo to the citin hotel door, lol! it's a very narrow path, if you huge luggage, it will be problematic. another problem i found is that there NO PARKING area reserved for users of this hote. I had to park my car in Jalan Masjid india.
and cost me around RM 3.50 (1.70 x 2)for one night, paying DBKL parking slot. roomwise, it quite small, just a little bit bigger than tune hotels room. toilet is OK and clean.
we also got breakfast with that price. food is quite ok, that day we were served with nasi goreng, kueytiaw, bread, cereals, papaya, honey dew juice, etc, buffet!
