Poker Tournaments – Overview
The word “tournament” means a competition where contestant plays a series of games to determine the winner so “poker tournaments” can be translated as poker players playing against one another until someone wins all the betting chips.

The number of players in a poker tournament can be from two players on a single table or even  thousands of poker players playing on hundreds of tables or even much more! The last poker player remaining who won all the betting chips is the winner and the other poker players’ rankings are based on when they got eliminated.

Most poker tournaments use the knockout playing format which is also called the “freezeout” format. As more poker players loses all their betting chips and leaves the table, tables with lesser poker players are joined together and this continues until there is only one “final table” left in which the last poker player with all the betting chips is the final winner.

Some poker tournaments allow poker players a second chance if they have lost all their betting chips by buying back into the poker tournament. However, if they lost all their betting chips again then they are eliminated for good. Poker players who are low on betting chips can also top up their betting chips too.

This kind of tournament are called “rebuy tournaments” and might probably be more appealing for poker players who fancy a second chance.

Poker Tournaments – PokerStars
Nowadays, as poker players are able to play poker online, they are definitely able to participate in poker tournaments online too.

There is one such poker website – PokerStars online poker websites claiming to have much more poker tournaments than other poker sites, sporting large variety of games and buy-in ranges. So, poker players who are interested in trying out poker tournaments online might want to consider checking out the poker tournaments at Poker Stars.

Poker Tournaments – Online

PokerStars has a lot of online poker tournaments for those poker players who wishes to participate in online poker tournaments.

Poker Tournaments – Live

If a poker player is qualified enough, he or she will be able to participate in live poker tournaments. This is surely a very good experience for those poker players who wishes to experience live poker tournaments and not only online poker tournaments.

Deimos’s Thoughts
Deimos does not really like to lose a lot of monies in gambling so the only poker tournaments he will participate in are recreational poker tournaments. Like those poker tournaments in various video games where no real monies is won or lost.

Deimos Asks
Have you participated in a poker tournament before? How was it like?

Poker Stars – Homepage

At the main page of the PokerStars homepage, it is stated that there are more than one hundred thousand players online, playing poker at PokerStars and more than four thousand tournaments going on. This is quite a lot of active players.

Seeing that there are quite a number of players playing poker at PokerStars, it is safe to assume that this is a good place to play poker online.

Poker Stars – Game Lobby

In order to play poker at PokerStars you need to download and install their poker software first before you can play. Unfortunately, you cannot play poker using the web browser. Perhaps playing poker using their own propriety poker software is much more secure and stable when compared against player poker in a web browser as sometimes the web browser may crash and there may be disputes cases especially when real monies is involved.

Poker Stars – Table

The cards do look bit simple though. Just a big number unlike read poke cards. Perhaps there is an option to change that, or then again perhaps not as Deimos did not download the poker software to find out. Maybe having a lite, non graphic heavy software will enable the software to be much more easier to manage, update etc.

Deimos’s Thoughts
Deimos enjoys playing poker, however Deimos would not play poker online with real monies and even if he would play poker using real monies it would be offline and the amount would not be very larger as Deimos is not rich.

Deimos Asks
Would you use real monies to play poker online? Yes? No? Why?

This is the same as Wake Up The Box series except the boxes are dressed up like royalties.

Wake the Royalty – Tutorial!

So there is the king, the queen and is that the prince? Where is the princess then?

Wake the Royalty – Action!

Poor queen is in for a shock as she is abruptly awaken from her sweet slumber.

Deimos’s Thoughts
Simple and cute graphics. Simple controls and game play. A fun simple casual little game. Fans of Wake Up The Boxes series will enjoy this.

Deimos Asks
Played any Wake Up The Box game before? Which is better? Boxes or royalties? Why?

High Speed Internet and Flash Games
Nowadays, flash games are certainly getting more advanced and hence, they tend to end up with more megabytes. Take a look at the recently released – Road of the Dead which is an action driving zombie apocalypse flash game amounting to a total of 24.51 megabytes! Without a high speed internet, one would have to wait quite some time for it to finish downloading, that is one reason why Deimos provides flash games downloads so folks do not have to download the game again once their web browser’s cache is cleared.

High Speed Internet Rates
Taking a look at Comcast Internet Deals, one can get a 12Mbps download / 2000Kbps upload internet plan for USD $19.99 per month which is about RM62 per month. Whereas in Malaysia, for RM66 per month, one can only get a 512Kbps download / 256Kbps upload internet package. Obviously, the internet deals in United States are much better when compared against the ones in Malaysia.

Deimos’s Thoughts
Even though the quality of high speed internet in Malaysia is still not up to par when compared against with first world countries such as United States, it is still very much better when compared fifteen (15) years ago, during the early days when Deimos first started surfing the internet with a 14.4 kilo bits per second (kbps) data fax modem! Back then, the websites were much more simpler than websites of today.

Deimos Asks
When did you first start surfing the internet? Amazed at how fast technology advances? How much further do you think the technology will advance further in ten (10) years time?

Unlimited Web Hosting – Online!

At USD $4.95 per month, that is like RM15++ per month or RM180++ per year for unlimited web hosting! Deimos is on dedicated hosting now so he spends like RM350 per month on hosting fees alone. Previously, he was using shared hosting at about RM150 per year but it is limited to 100GB disk space and 100GB bandwidth per month. Comparing it with RM180++ per year for unlimited disk space and unlimited bandwidth this does seems like a better deal.

Unlimited Web Hosting – Features!

The above mentioned are just the core features offered by Web Hosting Hub. Other advertised features are categorized under email, photo sharing tools, e-commerce tools, blogging tools, content management systems (CMS), stuff for geeks, forum software and additional features.

Unlimited Web Hosting – Comparison!

Referring to the above comparison, it does appear that Web Hosting Hub has much more to offer when compared against other web hosting websites such as JustHost, Bluehost, Fatcow and iPage. Seems like others are reluctant to offer more than 30 days of full money back guarantee so this is one of their main selling points.

Deimos’s Thoughts
The unlimited web hosting offered by Web Hosting Hub is attractive and would benefit those who are looking to use such web hosting services. However, Deimos still prefers to use local (Malaysian) web hosting for his web hosting needs due to personal reasons.

One main reason is support and for emergencies, Deimos can send a SMS to his web host to resolve any emergency situations that require immediate action. However, after Deimos switched from shared hosting to dedicated hosting he noticed that he does not need to do so anymore since the server is very stable and there are no emergencies situations that requires immediate action.

Deimos Asks
Would you consider using Web Hosting Hub for your hosting needs? Yes? No? Why?

Vegas Red Casino – Home Page

The home page is nicely done, just like any other online casinos out there in the internet. To navigate, just click the links at the top to explore and browse around.

Vegas Red Casino – Games

There are more than 100 games in which you can preview them before you decide to play them. For example, Card & Table Games, Video Slots, Progressive Games, Arcade Games, Video Poker to Live Games etc.

Vegas Red Casino – Jackpots

The winning amount of these Progressive Jackpots seems to be ever increasing. Do you think you will be lucky enough to win some of the Progressive Jackpots?

Vegas Red Casino – Cashier

This is a real casino after all so naturally you need to use real cash in order to play the games. Visit the cashier to deposit some money into your account so you can start playing. If you have a Visa or Master Card then you can charge your card and start playing at once!

If you do not feel like exposing your credit card details directly then they are also more than 30 options to choose from. However, they do not have Pay Pal as a billing option.

Vegas Red Casino – Winners

If you are lucky enough to win, your name will be show in the winners section. It seems to be that quite a lot of people have already won a lot of money.

Vegas Red Casino – Loyalty

Nowadays, even online casinos have their very own loyalty programs! Those who play very often would certainly benefit from this.

Deimos’s Thoughts
A well design online casino with a bright red theme.

Online Casino Suite Blog
The Online Casino Suite Blog is updated very frequently, almost daily and sometimes more than one post per day. A very good source for online casino related news.

Deimos’s Thoughts
Online casinos, if done right, do make a lot of money. Quite amazing that the oldest trade in the world is still one of the best method to make money.

Deimos Asks
Do you personally know any people who work in the casino field? Are they rich?

This trend is going to continue as believed by the commercial director of www.broadband-expert.co.uk – Rob Webber as he mentioned they saw the sales for Pay as You Go increasingly steadily since the year end of year 2008 as clients found out that they do not have to sign up for a long contract and instead pay for that they use.

It is expected by them that this trend will carry on even until Christmas since Pay as You Go mobile broadband and phones perform well generally compared against contract based mobile packages. Plus, the prepaid mobile broadband also makes a suitable gift for those who could not get them normally, for example kids under eighteen years old or elderly folks who are quite old already.

At T-mobile, a similar trend has been observed and as said by a spokesperson of T-mobile as they saw a stabilization of the contract based mobile broadband market because more and more clients prefer to sign up for prepaid mobile broadband due to more flexibility. For the last three months, about 20% of the market belongs to prepaid mobile broadband sales and it has been increasing at 10% per month.

Based on findings by www.broadband-expert.co.uk it appears that pay as you go mobile broadband deals will become more and more popular. Also, in September 2009, it is reported that 63% of mobile broadband sales belonged to prepaid packages, according to findings from market research company GfK Retail & Technology.

Deimos’s Thoughts
Simple and cute graphics. Simple controls. Unique top down view puzzle game play never seen before by Deimos in other puzzle flash games. Levels start out easy but gets challenging fast.

Deimos Asks
Do you think it is possible to journey to the center of the earth? Yes? No? Why?

Camcorders and Flash Games
What do Camcorders and Flash Games have in common? Actually, nothing. Well, at first glance, there is nothing in common at all. Though Camcorders can be used to capture still images, Camcorders are generally used to record live motion videos. Camcorders cannot be used to play games while Flash Games are, well, games.

However, if web cams are to be related with Camcorders, then perhaps they have something in common after all. Flash Games are powered by Adobe Flash, which is mostly used for web flash applications, which have the function to interact with active web cams plugged into the computer. This made web based video conferencing possible.

One such a website that utilizes web cams and flash is chat roulette though that website has hardly any good use. Nowadays, it has sort of degenerated into a lowly place for flashers to display their genitals online.

Camcorders and Deimos
Deimos has a little Canon ixus series digital camera that still works for the time being, plus he is really not into recording live video footage therefore he will not buy any Camcorders in the near future. No need for unnecessary expenditure.

If he is to buy Camcorders, he will probably buy Canon brand since that is the same brand of his digital camera. Good, old brand.

Deimos’s Daily Reads
No reads for today.

Deimos’s Thoughts
Deimos thinks it is not really necessary to own any Camcorders at the time being as he does not do much video recording.

Deimos Asks
Do you own any Camcorders? What brand and model? Do you use it often?

Iphone and Flash Games
What do Iphone and Flash Games have in common? Iphone can be used to play games, and there are quite a number of Flash Games that have been ported over to the Iphone, so those games would be what Iphone and Flash Games share in common. Popular Flash Games such as Shift, Crush the Castle, Canabelt and more.

Iphone Features
There are two (2) types of Iphone available for sale in the market at the moment, the original iPhone 3G and the newer iPhone 3G [S] which seems to be an upgraded version of the original such as having a higher megapixel camera, auto focus, improved performance, voice control, longer lasting battery life etc.

As for the Iphone itself, it is a touch phone with a large screen plus an intelligent touch screen keyboard, an iPod that can be used to play videos, audio files, etc, also considered a mini computer that can run a lot of applications though most of them would be related to entertainment, such as games, etc.

Iphone Conclusion
The Iphone is a pretty, flashy, fancy electronic tool and would be quite attractive and appealing for many users out there being a camera, mobile phone and a mini computer all in one combination. However, for Deimos it just feels too overpriced and he will definitely not buy one at all. Just too expensive.

Deimos’s Daily Reads

Deimos’s Thoughts
Deimos thinks that the Iphone is just an over priced gimmick and for the same price, he would rather get a laptop computer that would be much better than a touch screen mobile phone.

Deimos Asks
Do you own an Iphone? Would you buy an Iphone in the near future? Why?

Mobile phones and Flash Games
So what exactly do Mobile phones and Flash Games have in common? Let’s see now … Flash Games are .. games! Meant to be played by people for recreational purposes, etc. Mobile phones is an electronic tool which allows people to communicate from any distance, within coverage of course.

However, nowadays many Mobile phones can also be used to play games as well. Heck, many years ago, the original Nokia N-Gage and its sequel Nokia N-Gage QD are meant to be gaming phones. Heck, even Deimos was using a Nokia N-Gage QD until the keypad became faulty due to wear and tear. Now he uses a Nokia 2626 which is quite basic.

Safe to say that the only thing that Mobile phones and Flash Games have in common is … games! There are a variety of recreational games on the Mobile phones platform and there are countless Flash Games to be played over the internet as well! So yeah, games is the common thing between them.

To play Flash Games on Mobile phones
At the moment, this is not really possible as Adobe Flash is not support on current Mobile phones. However, this is not final as technology is always improving. So therefore, one day, it will be possible to play Flash Games on Mobile phones in the near future.

Suitable Mobile phones to play Flash Games
There are no Mobile phones that can play Flash Games at the moment, however, there are quite a number of iPhone games which are based off existing Flash Games. For example, Shift, Crush the Castle, Canabelt and a whole lot more successful Flash Games which were made into successful iPhone games as well.

Mobile phones and Flash Games Conclusion
To conclude this short article, it is still not yet possible to play Flash Games on Mobile phones but that is going to change in the near future.

Windows 7 and Flash Games
So what do Windows 7 and Flash Games have in common? Windows 7 has web browsers and Flash Games are mostly played in web browsers. That is pretty much the only thing that both Windows 7 and Flash Games have in common.

Windows 7 vs Windows Vista vs Windows XP

Based on the above chart, it seems that Windows XP SP3 is actually the best choice of operating system to use when using various web browsers.

Windows 7 and PC Games

Regarding performance improvements for PC Games, there is no real notable significant changes as well as according to the above chart. In fact, XP is even better in some situations.

Windows 7 Features
Sure, there may be tons of new features in Windows 7, such as “simplifies everyday tasks” or “works the way you want” and even “makes new things possible” etc. All are just extras and not required. Well, at least that is what Deimos thinks about those so called “new features” in Windows 7. Just “luxury” and not “necessities” so not required.

Windows 7 Hardware Requirements

Reference to the above table, it would seems that Windows 7 does not really require a very powerful computer in order to run. However, nowadays developers tend to “lower” the hardware requirements of their software so they get to churn out more possible sales. Evil, heartless, greedy buggers.

Windows 7 and Deimos
Deimos is still using Windows XP SP3 and it would probably be quite some time before Deimos decides to switch to Windows 7 for good.

Deimos’s Daily Reads
No reads for today.

Deimos’s Thoughts
Deimos will not switch to Windows 7 unless there is no other choice remaining. No other choice as in meaning when all newly released PC Games require Windows 7 to run.

Deimos Asks
What operating system are you using? Would you use Windows 7 in the future? Why?

Laptops and Flash Games
Flash Games are basically casual, simple games that is normally played in any typical Internet Browser such as Firefox, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Safari etc. Normally, Flash Games does not have high computer hardware requirements and can be played in most PC Desktops or Laptops smoothly without any problems.

However, nowadays some Flash Games have become more complex, sporting better graphics and complex physics, rag dolls, special effects etc in the game and thus a more powerful processor is required to play some of the newer, processor hungry Flash Games smoothly. A powerful graphic card is not required though.

Laptops would be a nice mobile platform to play some simple and casual Flash Games as by default, cheaper Laptops often comes with a weak integrated graphic cards that is not suitable for heavy gaming, games with impressive 3D graphics etc. Flash Games only need a decent processor and most affordable range Laptops comes with at least an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0ghz which should be enough for most nowadays Flash Games out there.

Laptops Malfunction Rates

Reference to the above chart, it seems that Asus would be the most reliable brand for Laptops given that the malfunction rate is about 10% for 2 years and 15.6% for 3 years projection. So if you would like to purchase some Laptops be sure to avoid HP brand and consider Asus brand. Dell is not that bad also as it is in the middle.

Laptops and Deimos
Deimos does not own many Laptops, only one old one that his elder brother gave him many years ago but that old set is a bit faulty now. Being poor and still heavy in debts, Deimos will not purchase any Laptops now. Perhaps later when there really is a need and when Deimos is much wealthier.

Laptops are getting more and more powerful nowadays, though still not as powerful as desktop computers, at least them Laptops are useful for mobile computing purposes.

Deimos Asks

Borrow Money vs Cash Loans
It is quite amusing to see the various reactions that different people will throw at you when you approach them for you money. Most will just state that they do not have sufficient funds on them, some might even get downright offended and throw a fit!

Deimos’s Thoughts
Deimos conducted a personal experiment recently, and the end results is not pretty. Nevertheless, there are some people who still trusts Deimos.

Deimos Asks
Would you get offended if people approach you to borrow money? Why?

It is not easy to get payday loan. You must be employed, be the responsibility taker, show proof that you are handling bills, have own bank accounts etc, then only you can get one.

The payday loan provider will keep a portion of money with them as a commission. For example if you are getting $1000, you would end up getting only $900.

Deimos’s Thoughts
Deimos hopes that he will never need to resort to payday loans.

Deimos Asks
Do you know what is a payday loan after reading this article?

However, if you do drugs, like to gamble or spend uncontrollably, then a cash advance is not a thing for you. Better get some professional help.

Deimos’s Thoughts
A cash advance is definitely not suitable for irresponsible people.

Deimos Asks
Are you a thrifty saver that always saves, or impulsive spender that often overspends?
