This is definitely a good news for Malaysian PayPal users as Malaysians can only withdraw funds to credit card previously with USD5.00 charges.

How to Withdraw Funds to Local Bank Account in PayPal

First of all, you have to be a PayPal user.

Upon login, click on the “Withdraw” tab under “My Account” section.

There’re 2 options for users to withdraw fund,

1. Withdraw to your bank account
2. Withdraw funds to your card

It only takes 2-3 Business Days for PayPal to process the transaction and RM3.00 will be charged if the transferred fund is lesser than RM400.

You’re required to add a bank account to finish the process. RM40.00 is the minimum withdrawal amounts for you to withdraw the fund to your bank account.

What you need to fill in are your name, bank name, MEPS bank routing code, and account number.

PayPal will remember your added bank account for next transaction in future.

If you’re withdrawing your fund in USD, the fund will be converted to Ringgit Malaysia automatically with PayPal currency converter.

All the transaction process is as simple as ABC. Enjoy withdrawing your fund to your bank account!

I am heading to the very first of Barcamp Malaysia in this coming weekend which will be held in xTrain Sdn Bhd, somewhere near by KLCC.

In their words,

BarCampMalaysia is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from attendees.

This 2 days 1 night event will gather 150-200 tech folks who are passionate about technology. Currently BarCampMalaysia is waiting for further sponsors to allow more people to join this informal gathering.

See ya there!

There are 8,002,530 downloads in total on the day of the launch of Firefox 3 browser.

Great software! Mozilla deserves that.

Here’s a picture timeline that shows the entire life to this technology legend. Started with Bill Gates’ father, William H.Gates Sr.

Enjoy!

Folks in Internet Explorer team were kind enough to bake a treat for Mozilla Firefox 3 release today. A cake which contains a huge IE logo was sent to Mozilla headquarters in Mountain View.

Apparently Microsoft’s Internet Explorer team is feeling "happy" too for new Firefox. The cake congratulates Mozilla on shipping Firefox 3. The disgusting sweetest part is the complimentary of the cake – "Love", the IE Team.

This is the second time for IE team to give a cake during Firefox’s release. The picture below was the cake sent by IE team in year 2006 for Firefox 2.

Maybe Nokia, Samsung or LG will give a cake to Apple too when iPhone 3G’s first launch in July. Who knows?

If you are in a different zone of the world, check the World Time Map Schedule below to know the exact time to download Firefox 3.

Rumors showing that Firefox 3 is available for download on Mozilla FTP and web servers at the time (9 p.m – Malaysia) when I am writing this post.

Links for downloading Firefox 3 are available but I am not going to show it because any download from Mozilla FTP mirrors is not counted in the Guinness World Record.

Which one you think is the most applicable feature?

Some pictures of concept rendering for Windows 7. Even though they are not likely what we’ll see in 2010 release, it will still be interesting to see how close to these older renderings turn out to be.

Just like what Steve Ballmer said, “Windows 7 is all about fantasy”. Do you agree right now?

Amazing or not?

Microsoft is planning to add multitouch interface to Windows 7.

“It’s much faster to do certain tasks than using a mouse,” Larson-Green said. She also showed rotating photos by pinching and rotating, much like Microsoft’s surface or Apple’s iPhone.

Luckily or unluckily, Ballmer was not hit after took cover behind a lectern.

After dodging the eggs, Ballmer shrugs, smiles and quips, “It was a friendly disruption” and the auditorium breaks into laughter. Ballmer then rubs his chin and says, “That broke my train of thought.”
