Google Wave - The Latest Online Communication Tool
According to Google, "a wave" is equal parts conversation and document. People can communicate and work together with richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more.
Google Wave is not released to the public yet, but Google has sent out invitations to 100,000 people thus far to test it out prior to it becoming public. As Google Wave is rumored to be the next evolution in online communication, loads of people, mainly techies, are begging to get invites to test this new tool.
Read WSJ's take on Google Wave.
In my opinion, Google Wave is more or less a mashup between MSN (Windows Live) messenger, email, Facebook and Twitter. If it is received well, we might see the early demise of Facebook and Twitter.

Botak Chin - Part 2
Although his gang was very successful, there were some gangsters who disputed Botak Chin's leadership. This led to confrontations with rival fractions and gangs. To consolidate his power as the supremo gangster in Kuala Lumpur, Botak Chin became involved in gang wars. In one major war, both his rival, Tua Pui Lek (the head of the Five Finger Mountain gang) and Botak Chin's own right hand man, Ah Wong, were killed at a disused tin mine in Jinjang.
