Have you opened the Google homepage today? Any difference? The Google logo had changed to Pacman game!! In conjunction of Pacman’s 30th anniversary, Google had changed the homepage logo into a playable Pacman game.
The game is just as addictive as the original, and as Google’s Marcin Wichary says, “[We] made sure to include PAC-MAN’s original game logic, graphics and sounds, bring back ghosts’ individual personalities, and even recreate original bugs from this 1980s masterpiece.”
The company even changed its “I’m Feeling Lucky” button to “Insert Coin” in honor of the occasion. And with that, the world’s collective productivity takes a sharp plunge on this Friday.
Google is getting more and more cooler these days huh?

This news is spread all over the world but most of the Malaysians and Singaporeans are just laughing out loud and getting confused of it. Microsoft just announced a new software analyser that is called “Cibai“.
Cibai: An abstract interpretation-based static analyzer for modular analysis and verification of Java classes
I believe most of the people in Malaysia or Singapore, including most of the Chinese, Malays and Indians know what “cibai” means. It’s a foul language in “Hokkien” which actually means Vagina in English. It is commonly used for someone to express their anger like saying “Fuck You!”. There are more for this term which has much worse meanings such as “Chau Cibai!”, “Nin bu er Chau cibai”, “Lu er Cibai”.. and so on. Please ask your friends around you what it means as I don’t think it is approriate to explain it here.. This is really making me laughing non stop!!!@
Yet, Microsoft seems picked this word out of nowhere and hits the word Vagina in “Hokkien”. Well, this is seriously the joke of the day though. I wonder what Microsoft will do if they found out about this..
