WIMAX service providers that failed

Everyone knows WIMAX right? I love the concept of WIMAX because:

1. it has faster speed than WIFI
2. it has wider coverage than WIFI
With this, basically you can surf everywhere! In your bedroom, house, car, car park, shopping mall, wet market, etc etc etc.
LTE supposedly is the competing 4G technology with WIMAX, but I don't care who wins, what most important is the consumers wins! :)

Okay okay, so Malaysian government supposedly granted a few licenses of WIMAX to a few companies few years back. So far only one is really providing the WIMAX service to comsumers, which is PiOne (can't use real name, people will sue, you know). The coverage and speed you all know already. If you don't, do search lowyat.net forum ;)

So, another one of the WIMAX company is taking off recently, this one is called Y.E.A.X (close enough, you know, can't use real name!). So I want to know more of their service, so google it and go to the company website right? Yeah right, after like 30 mins of waiting plus surfing other WWW and blogs, this Y.E.A.X still can't load the first page. This can't be right? I can surf, I can twit, I can write blog, but this pathetic WIMAX company's website is not working. See the picture, it is like that for more than 30 mins, keep on loading but nothing come out:

WIMAX?

What supposedly the service they will provide then?

Touchpad made of paper

Dr. West, an Afrotech Forum user, made himself a computer touchpad from a piece of paper with graphite on it.
He says: "There isn't much to explain here. It just uses pencil graphite on paper as a kind of two dimensional potentiometer. Four voltage dividers between 5v, 2M ohm resistors, the paper, and my grounded finger feeds signals from each corner into an Arduino. The Arduino does some insufficient math and spits out mouse coordinates that are not linear."

More on RockMelt

Okay, RockMelt finally working on my laptop. See what I complained about. Anyway, here is my print screen. The icons (apps) on both side are finally appear.It could be previously it cannot login. So your friends are on left hand side; facebook profile/twitter/RSS on right have side.

I can invite friends to RockMelt, but only gave me 3 invites? WHY WHY WHY?

Another problem is I cannot invite some people, most of my friends can be invited, but not all, not sure why yet.

My twitter also added here, so a single click can see my twits.

You can subscribe to RSS, I added this blog's RSS for testing:

Verdict, if you use Facebook 24/7, this could be your browser. Else look for FireFox or Safari (I use both of them).
