Live Traffic Update for Penang on Google Maps

Google Maps has been providing live traffic update for Klang Valley since last year. Since I live in Penang, I am hoping Google do so for Penang. Finally, live traffic update for Penang is here! Melaka and Ipoh also have the traffic update as well.

To enable live traffic update on Google Maps, move your mouse to the right top of the maps, the maps options and other options will be appear, check on the "Traffic" and you can start seeing the traffic. I turned off the satellite view for better view of the live traffic.



It supposedly update for every few minutes. Here look at roads near to USM around 11pm last night:


This should applied to Google Maps on Android and iOS. Btw, Google Maps is back on iOS. Apple fan-boys finally can have Google Maps on their iPhone. Heard that it is much faster now.

How many of your friends actually looked at your post on Facebook timeline? There is no way to tell how many looked except if you are posted to a group, or it is a Facebook page (not personal timeline). Is there really friends that concern about you on Facebook? Well, I try to keep positive when I post on Facebook.

According to the Dashboard of put.IO, the bandwidth supposedly is unlimited for all users, even for free accounts. I have been using put.IO to download the files that I wanted and unwanted as well just because I am a geek after all. By coincident, I found out that there is a limit of bandwidth after all. See the picture below that I have saw last night:

[Free Game] Mandora

We don't need to worry about free apps or games on Android, there are plenty of them. In fact there are too many that you will never ever install all of them because memory and microSD card will be full way before you can install half of them! :P

I found this game Mandora recently from some free stuffs website from Taiwan. Mandora is made in Taiwan. But don't worry, the interface is in English.

What you need to do is pluck the mandora seed when they are ripe. The question mark in above picture will show you how.


I was skeptical about this game right after I installed it on my wife's Samsung Galaxy W because there is no button to choose level or difficultly. However when I check back it's website, then only noticed that the game play will depend on the time you play. If you play at night time, you will see this:

If at daytime:

At evening also you can see the sky start turn to orange color. No picture of this but you can go ahead try it out.

Mandora is available at Google Play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rayark.uproot

Mandora also available for iOS:
https://itunes.apple.com/app/mandora/id541790591

Okay, there is the trailer:


p/s: I am competing with my wife of the ranking of this game, hehehe.
