Happy Chinese New Year 2013!
Happy Lunar New Year 2013!

Wish you a prosperous year of Snake.

I got this from a friend on Whatsapp. If you want to know what it means, you can copy line by line and translate using google translate, but I am doubtful that google translate can give you the right meaning ;)

Free sms or text service

Not only Chinese celebrate it, Korean, Vietnamese, Tibetan, and Mongolian also celebrate this New Year. Since it is based on Lunar Calendar, therefore it is called Lunar New Year, but still commonly known as Chinese New Year.

Usually during celebration such as Christmas, New Year and Lunar New Year, most people will send sms/text to friends and relative to wish them, but in some countries sms/text is not cheap, especially if you need to send more than hundreds of them. Last time there was a few websites that provide free sms service, but not to all countries. Recently I found one that still providing this service. And it is really reliable after I tested a few times.

I found out this service from it's Android apps when I playing with BlueStacks. Introducing Pinger.

Sending a testing sms/text to my own phone. The sms/text appear in my HTC Elfin in a few seconds only, I am in Malaysia by the way.


Pinger works iOS(iPhone/iPod/iPad) and Android:
http://www.pinger.com/content/textfree/

Pinger also works with web browsers with Java support:
http://www.pinger.com/textfree/

How it works?
For iOS and Android, install the apps from AppStore/Market.
For Windows/Linux, go directly to the website.

During registration, Pinger will ask for zip code. Give your actual zip code for US user. For international users, give a favorite zip code, usually I use 90210, very easy to remember. :P
After that, Pinger will give you a list of phone number for you to choose, pick wisely, because you cannot change it later. It will ask your permission to share with your facebook friends, you can skip by clicking "cancel".

Then you can start sending text. The number is based on International Direct Dial code.

For smartphone (iOS and Android), try to use wifi as much as possible.

Since it is free service, you will have to "enjoy" some advertisement.

Why stop SOPA?

Happy Lunar New Year! Today is the first day of Water Dragon Lunar New Year.
To know more about Lunar New Year or Chinese New Year, check out these wiki:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_New_Year
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_New_Year

However if SOPA being implemented, we might not getting website service like youtube and wiki. It will be an ice age of Internet.

Matthew Inman at The Oatmeal explains it, in a simple way [warning! not safe for kids]:


If SOPA being implemented, meaning you will not able to see any of this kind of video available at youtube and I will not able to write any waste time post anymore, sigh.

Here are example of video that will be banned if SOPA being implemented:
Empire Strike Back songs by dogs:


Farting Squirrel commercial:


Reddit user made this video:



Btw, Megaupload has been shutdown by FBI, and SOPA was not even being use for the shutdown.
