So you think Paypal only dominate the states? Well, think again. It spreads like wild fire in UK and lot of other places in the world.
So what does this 15 Millions UK Paypal Users mean?
1) 1/3 of the UK adult population
2) > 50% of active UK Internet shoppers.
PayPal’s European CEO, Geoff Iddison, told silicon.com: “Our ambition is to become the preferred online payment method. But people also want access to their funds and will want to go to an ATM and pull money out. So there is going to be more presence offline over time.”
Wow, they are looking at more offline presence as well? Aren’t the banks supposed to be worry about them? Yes, they should, since Skype (our favorite VOIP tool) is going to support Paypal soon.
Learn about how to turn your hard-earned Paypal funds into cold-hard cash where you can actually “feel”, “smell” and use it to buy us some gift as a token of appreciation for tipping you this.
Seems like we don’t have to stretch our neck waiting for the official good news from Paypal anymore.
Latest update on the VMI methods for Malaysia Merchants to withdraw money from Paypal can be found here.
Warning: Neowave does not endorse any of this method, please use it STRICTLY AT YOUR OWN RISK.

We have a confession to make – we fail miserably using the tools trying to rate www.neowave.com.my on mobile readiness. And apparently our own Mobile UI for shopping cart – webShaper Mobile needed some brush up.
Hey, we are working hard to improve it. Don’t we call it “beta”?
Meanwhile, if you don’t already have a mobile website, here’s 2 very neat presentation for you to chew on

1 year FREE trial of CA Anti-Virus
Too good to be true? This is not a joke or hoax, and we are not talking about the popular FREE AVG. CA is offering an enterprise grade Antivirus for home and home office (SOHO anyone?) use.
In the 90’s, CA (Computer Associate) used to be World 3rd Largest Software Company in terms of revenue just trailing behind Microsoft and Oracle. Most layman would never hear from them because their products and services are catered for large enterprises. But boy.. they do make tons of $$$.
Try it out, It’s really FREE for one year. But please don’t ask us why they do this, maybe they want to do some goodwill to the society after the highly publicized accounting scandal by its ex-CEO, Sanjay Kumar.
And best part about the CA Antivirus, it won’t slow down your system like Windows Live Care does.

Thanks to Matt Mullenweg (#16) and the WordPress Team for such a great piece of software. Check out the original posting here at Yahoo News.
First of all, do you even know that such a blog exist?
http://blogs.msdn.com/blitblog/default.aspx
If you have a blog, but there are only few posts on it, why have it at the first place??
Are there just no passionate employee in Microsoft Malaysia or they just put this up as a PR Stunt? Funny, they even wonder what to put up on their blog…. Gosh, does it mean that there’s absolutely no interesting thing they can talk about their work, their technologies and their life?
Talk is cheap, it cost nothing. Starting something new also relatively easy, getting the momentum going, and continue to grow strong is the toughest. So, if you don’t plan to upgrade your blog frequently with quality and useful stuffs which will benefit your readers or customers. My advice is – don’t start at all.
My dua-sen suggestion to Microsoft Malaysia? There’s tons of interesting these folk can talk about. How about?
- First of all, Oopss…. where’s your posting on Microsoft Malaysia Windows Vista Launching at Low Yat Plaza?? How can so-called Micro$oft Malaysia blog even miss this? Isn’t it one of the most important product launching ever for Microsoft?
- Tell us how you use Microsoft tools and technologies in improving your work. Please… no hard sell, readers are too smart to easily sense it. Genuine sharing will do a great deal.
- Tell us more about local software industry.
- Tell us what you think about MSC.
- Sharing some thoughts on OPT (Other People Technologies)?
- Show us the working culture of Microsoft and how is it different from other typical Malaysian company?
- Show us the casual and human side of Microsofties.
- Show us some web 2.0 style web services mash-up.
To make the blog successful, you really need a passionate geek that’s KBC (Hokkien Dialect-means like to mind other people business). If only do it for the sake of having it since everyone seems to have a blog, you will get mediocre content that produces mediocre results.
Why don’t you guys consult Robert Scoble, ex-microsoftie, this guy really know how to blog, probably Microsoft Malaysia want to grab him over in coming events to talk about tech blogging… hey, why not? I’ll be the first one who book the seat.
