Angry Birds 3 stars guide/walkthrough Theme 1

Angry Birds has been the best iTunes app store best-seller for many many months since its launch in December 2009. Its available for the iPhone/iPad (iOS), Symbian and Android platform and has one of the simplest gameplay mechanism but yet addictive gameplay. Ever since I was introduced to this game and since I have introduced it to others, people just can't get enough of it!

And as many people who has been playing this game, I'm sure many would have first finished the game without getting all 3-stars scores for every level. But in order to obtain a full set of the Golder eggs available in the game, you would have tried from scratch again to obtain 3-star scores for all levels. Although there are many sources available on the internet for tips on getting the 3-stars, I will take the courtesy to include here all the videos I can find to make it a one stop shop for your Angry Birds need (you're welcome)!

Hanoi (Vietnam) internet access

I'm back from the Hanoi trip and as promised I'm upating my experience of obtaining internet access on my iPhone. The first thing upon arriving there, I asked our tour guide which telco offers the best prepaid packages that has data usage included. I made a point of telling her my main usage is for data and not for phone calls. She told me not to purchase any prepaid sims because our hotel will have free wifi.

Travelling to Hanoi/Halong Bay from 5th - 8th September.... tomorrow!

 

I'm going for a short vacation with my wife tomorrow. We're going to Hanoi city and Halong Bay in Vietnam. I've been doing some research on getting a prepaid service for mobile communications in Vietnam and so far have found three providers, Viettel, Vietnamobile and Mobifone.

I don't care much about the calls and SMS service as I only need the data service. And it is a no brainer to get a prepaid sim card rather than go on international roaming using my local provider. I would spend at least 20x more if I do so. So here is what I have found so far.

HD Video wallpaper for iPhone

Up till now I have not even considered having an animated wallpaper on my iPhone. I remember all my old Sony Ericsson and Samsung phones have those cool animated wallpaper features. As I got to find out from Redmond Pie, Android has built-in support for the animated wallpapers ever since version 2.1 of their OS. Well, iPhone fanboys, no need to envy as there is now a solution for you too so that you can show off your iPhone 4 on the retina display with an animated wallpaper. Behold the vWallpaper jailbreak app. Yes you heard me right, you would first have to have a jailbroken iPhone. For the rest of the story, follow this link to Redmond Pie on how to install it.
