Feh, during the 2002 FIFA World Cup I was supporting both Portugal and Japan.

Mainly because of the Captain Tsubasa/Oliver Atton animes, the very beautiful japanese kit, and also because of Hidetoshi Nakata (one of my idols).

I always liked my hair in the military style, but, in that summer I kept it growing and changed into Hide's colour. :pinch:

Hey my girlfiend is one of the top officials on Asian Cup organizing comittee!!! I don't mean to brag or anything but the whole thing would fall apart without her :p. She has been very busy. ALL the teams officials call her with every little minor detail as well as the reffs and the Chinese press. It's cool though because we can go to any of the games for free. If anyone in China is going, I'll see you at the opening cerimonies!!!

Inside news? I dunno. I'll ask her if there is anything interesting when she's home from work in a few hours. As far as exlusive pics, probably once the tourney starts. In a few nights we will go out to a dinner and the princes of Saudi Arabia will be there. Pretty cool :)

Well I have bad news for u..

No Cheerleaders in Soccer.. yet! Maybe in the future.. tell your GF to give them the suggestion :)

Here is the Asian Cup Prediction Game guys:

:cry: Damn, I was getting really excited. Asked her about inside info and she said a few things that are not interesting and not worth posting. Sorry. Mostly she just complains about her co-workers and what things they do :p. I'll give her the link and ask her to spread it arround the office. Not all of them speak very good English though so we'll see ;)

MetaLRasaM,

And his scoring abilities are not bad.. He started scoring headers this season which he has never done before.. He is improving!

Well I went to the opening cerimonies and the first game between China and Bahrain. I met the president of FIFA!!! I was in the VIP section so I was with all those important people like top Chinese government officials and the AFC officials. I also met some players from Indonesia. The opening cerimonies were pretty boring and the game was just ok. I was reminded of why I don't like soccer much :p. I'll be going to more games though and hopefully I can get into it. I don't have hockey here so I need a sport to enjoy ;)

    • Ahh, I didn't know that. It makes sense. I was thinking I would be fine with 50 hours, but 100 is close enough that I wouldn't feel like I am paying for more than I am using. I might check it out sometime.
    • Google's next-gen Tensor AI chips might be produced by Samsung, report says by Hamid Ganji Image via Google Google’s Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) is produced in collaboration with companies such as Broadcom and TSMC, but a recent report suggests that the search giant is in talks with Samsung to hand over part of the production to the Korean tech company. According to a report by The Information, citing people familiar with the matter, Google has begun talks with Samsung about using its chip manufacturing capacity for the next generation of Tensor AI chips. Google’s upcoming TPUs are reportedly codenamed “Icefish” and will be produced using Samsung's 2-nanometer process technology. Meanwhile, Samsung is expected to produce only a portion of the next-generation Tensor chips, with most of the production remaining at TSMC. The Information says the new Tensor chips are currently in the design stage and are scheduled to enter mass production in 2028. TSMC is generally considered one of the most reliable chip manufacturing partners and is trusted by tech giants such as Apple and Google. However, the growing demand for TSMC’s AI chips, combined with the company’s focus on meeting demand from AI data centers, has reportedly prompted Google to seek additional manufacturing partners for its next-generation TPUs. Besides Samsung and TSMC, Intel could also be assigned part of the production. The Information reported this week is that Google has begun talks with Intel to produce up to three million TPUs in 2028. However, this is not the first time Google has partnered with Samsung on chip production, as Samsung has previously manufactured Tensor chips for Pixel smartphones. Google’s Tensor Processing Unit is used in cloud data centers and competes with NVIDIA’s chips, which currently dominate the market. By relying on in-house chips, Google can not only reduce its dependence on third-party providers but also create new revenue opportunities. The company has already supplied its TPUs to the AI firm Anthropic.
    • Reminder that the Premium and Ultimate plans already come with a 100 hour per month limit, which you then have to pay more to increase in 15 hour blocks.
    • It does invite Linux because MS should have been improving their products all along these years instead chose to ignore the users now this year they’re making all of these improvements to their products where as Linux doesn’t have this kind of problems in fact it has gotten so good I can even play Windows games in Steam that I no longer ever needed Windows to carry on with my life, unlike you still use Windows and chose to try beat down down those who don't use Windows because they love their LG TV. (Surprisingly I actually own a 55” LED LG TV and it has been going strong for almost 14 years, longer than any Sony TV”)
    • As much as I love owning my own hardware, it's hard to argue with the value. I'm not a huge gamer, I'd actually be interested in a cheaper plan with limited monthly hours, or even a pay-by-the-hour plan.
