I almost worked for Hynix, a semiconductor company in Korea, but their job descriptions were all boring and you had to work in the rural part of Korea. Mind you, I love big cities, I hate suburban areas, just my personality type.  I stuck out in the busiest part of Seoul and lived a block away from like 100 bars, 20 nightclubs, and etc…etc…   Yes, it was a lot of fun, I got hideously drunk and did get to poke around some stuff…  Okay, maybe this is too much personal information, just go take a bong rip and you can forget what I just said.

Anyways, Hynix, that company that I am thankful God to not work for, has developed a new NAND flash memory.

Here’s a video demonstration of WiMax, or WiBro they call it in Korea from 2006…  Sprint will be rolling out with the WiMax in the U.S. soon. (hopefully)

We(Americans) are about 2-3 years behind the WiMax and cellular data technology.  darn it…

Sandstorms hitting Korea from China has worsened over the last couple years. A Sandstorm can really make a city quicky sandy like the picture above. I remember living in Korea couple years ago but sandstorms weren’t as bad then. Due to China’s exponential growth of factories, pollution, and what not, Koreans are being killed and slaughtered by the mass sandy pollution.

“There is an increasing possibility that yellow dust will appear some time between Thursday night and Friday,” South Korea’s Meteorological Administration said on its website.

The dust, which originates in the Gobi Desert in China, picks up heavy metals and carcinogens such as dioxin as it passes over Chinese industrial regions, before hitting North and South Korea and Japan, meteorologists say.

I’ve been watching Helio for awhile now. I’ve even played golf with the guy who was operating the secret operations of Helio before its launch last year. Actually he’s works for SK Telecoms in Korea who is the parent company behind Helios. The Korean telecommunication company wants to get a piece of the U.S. market. Well, I think they have done it and they are eating more of the pie as we move along here.

I’ve tried Helios at my local Frys and the internet speed was amazingly fast in comparison to my HTC8125 Cingular. But their browser doesn’t support all type of websites, it supports MySpace very well though. Anyways, I am looking forware to their new Pantech PN-810 which has a keyboard, something that I’d need.

Speaking of Pantech phones, I almost had the chance to work at that company couple years ago when I moved to Korea for a couple years. Well, the only reason I didn’t get the job was because their company location. They were located way outside of Seoul, in a rural city. That’s no fun, there’s no clubs and hot chics.

Anyways, check out the new Pantech and leave a comment if you have some positive or negative experiences using Helio.

Cool high tech air conditioners…

We’re not exactly sure what gives an air conditioner “artificial intelligence,” but our buds at AVING claim to have found one at the Korea Electronics Show, now underway in Seoul. Haier Korea, the Korean branch of the Chinese manufacturing jack-of-all-trades showed off two models, including the KFRd-72LW/O (”standard type”) and the KFRd-35GW/O (”wall mounted type”). Both come with an LED display (but what doesn’t these days?), an air purifier, an anion generator and dehumidifier. And if that wasn’t enough, how about the fact that both air conditioners can be controlled via cell phone or PDA? Yeah, we know you want one — sadly, we don’t know when these will be released, nor how many South Korean won you’ll have to dish out to get ‘em. Keep reading if you’re interested in a close-up of the display, or if you just like watching seals slide down snowy hills on their tummies…
