E3, also known as Electronic Entertainment Expo is an annual trade show for the computer and video games industry presented by the Entertainment Software Association (ESA). It is used by many video game developers to show off their upcoming games and game-related hardware. (Source)

Anyway, this post is your ultimate guide to follow E3 2011, live or afterward. I will include links, and this post will be updated frequently as more information flows in.

I just saw a tweet that make me want to write this post and publish it immediately!
There is a serious flaw in Google Gmail service, i believe many of you readers are using that service and probably having a tab open in your browser.
@wenyunchao tweeted a video demonstrated that how the hack work:
The video is in Chinese, but i will briefly explain whats going on.
To check if your account already been infected, go to your gmail account setting, click on the Account tab, and at the Grant access to your account section, check if there is any entry that you are not familiar with. If there is any, please click DELETE immediately.
How the hack work is by using a URL that had been masked, and an email to trick you to click the link.
The hack was demonstrated on Firefox 4.0 and the linked page will load a flash file that will then using the flash Redirect technology to execute a URL parameter.
After you are infected, the hacker will then have access to your account without the need to have your account password.
Im not sure if this hack had been used in places other than China, but apparently, quite a lot of users from China are tricked to click the link due to the email hack link is masked to be the popular weibo (microblogging service) in china.
To prevent this, as usual, DO NOT CLICK any link from any email. Copy and paste. And some suggest that you open the link in a completely different browser.
And also check your gmail setting frequently. Check for unauthorized access and check who you grant the permission to access your inbox.
Till now, there is no report if the hack will work in Google Chrome since chrome suppose to have the sandbox to protect the users, but since this is related to flash, its completely different story.
And many believe this is a flaw by Google, and hopefully Google will patch this and give some sort of notification to the users when this type of important setting had changed.
Until then, Be aware and take care.

Remember O2Jam? Oh back at the time i went to cyber cafe and play this game with friends, without letting my mum know Hahaha. I remember myself playing the e-Gamer server and 9you server, and unfortunately, now both of them died. But i heard there is one more server online by republikgame.com but i tried just now, CANNOT… zzzz
But music gamers fear not, O2Jam Analog is coming to Android! Yay,but i think it will stay in Korea for a very very long time before we can get the game on Android Market….. Hopefully not.

My take on this game
Im super excited about this game, but at the same time waiting for this game with some fear.
I worry that we will never get the game (for those who live outside of Korea), just because now they are placing it on T-Store as appose to Android Market in Korea. No one will be surprise if this app is exclusive on T-Store.
I worry also the app will only work on Samsung Android device and not HTC and other vendors. From what i heard is most of the Korean are using Samsung Android phone because they support their local product. Vendor like HTC have very few marketshare in Korea. And from all the pictures, trailers and advertisement i had seen are shown with Samsung device, i scare that they will never compile for other phone…
And its very likely that it will take the Tap Sonic model of Freemium, you got the app for free then you purchase credit to play. Not that i wont pay for the game, I WILL, but if the app only available in Korea and not internationally, the transaction and paying for it is pain in the ass…
But being said all that, we shall wait and see.
I will keep update the news of Tap Sonic and as well as O2Jam Analog on this blog.
