With news looming on the next Windows Operating System, codenamed “Windows 7“, I’ll not banking on Microsoft to cash successfully in this one either.

Lets face it.

Windows Vista is still buggy and all new laptops purchases comes with the new Windows Vista Operating Systems ( whichever versions or editions that may be).

Anyway or anyhow more users are currently using this software while majority still resisting and choose to remain with the vulnerable Windows XP systems.

My Question…..

What make you think Windows 7 will be a success?

Even the release of the Windows Vista Service Pack 1 is kept at a very low profile, unlike XP’s Service Pack 2 release.

With disadvantages aside, I still believe WIndows Vista is, nonetheless, a very good operating system.

It will still take time for people to adapt to the changes and hopefully this can happen sooner rather than later in the future.

Although it sounds pathetically insane but that is what is currently practiced by custom officers at the Los Angeles International Airport.

Sadly to say, it is a matter of privacy intervention from my point of view.

As in the state’s latest ruling handed down yesterday by the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco, it will authorize airport searches to be conducted on any electronic devices such as cellphones, laptops, etc.

This rule came about search-and-seizure case when a U.S. Customs inspector found child porn on a laptop belonging to an O.C. resident Michael Arnold when he passed through LAX in 2005 after a trip to the Philippines.

A black ink has definitely pollute the clear water and because of this stupid issue people traveling will have to accommodate these sets of problems.

So far it has been implemented in Los Angeles …. and God knows where else this insane practice is going to be implemented next.

Drop me a comment cause I find this absolutely NUTS!

It is true ….. it’s damn true (Hey I’m not a mimic Kurt Angel infamous phrase am I? )

Anyway here’s the truth.

We, laptop users - myself included, need to give us time for some breaks as and when neccessary; while working our heart and soul for long hours while using the laptop.

This good practice applies to those using the desktops as well ……

What type of break, you might wonder?

Stretching yourself is a good start.

I say ….. after every 30 to 45 minutes on the laptop, you must make it a habit to stretch yourself.

This will improve your mind and allows good blood circulation to the laptop users while working long hours  (and hopefully remains fresh) when using the laptop, be it for work or play.

By doing some of these neck stretching exercises,  you’ll be surprised that you feel better and NOT tired after that.

Try it ….. and I’ll be back soon to give more laptop good practices so you will enjoy your time working on your laptop.

Well that’s something new.

Everybody might be wondering whether I will be doing an April Fool’s post.

Well not really, not at all to be exact.

Frankly, it’s depressing and not-so motivational week at all for me.

Anyway this is how I started the week …..

As usual, I normally geared up for work ….. willingly and happily.

Unfortunately this week has been ultra SUCKS, the one I wish to forget rather quickly.

On Monday, my colleague (someone I’m charged of) blew up a desktop power supply. The next day, it’s me that blew up another power supply. Some people might think it’s an April Fool’s joke by me blowing up a power supply but in my head, I kept saying “Damn this SUCKS!”

An online meeting I was planning to organize and scheduled in the evening, but 2 out 6 members turn up for the meeting.

The following day I got screwed myself at work for no reason ….. Double whammer for me …… Totally pissed off,  I was trying my best to control my temper which I managed quite well, I think.

Today, I had understand a problem related to Microsoft FoxPro and barcode printer equipment. In the end, I had to “F” that bloody desktop.

With all these unnecessary stress and peer-pressure, it seems the week is a long wait for it to end. Hopefully the weekend which is coming (GOD make it quick) will provide some tranquility and peace of mind for this stress-up laptop geek.

It’s been swell and I must apologize for the harsh words I used for this post ( cause it’s the only way I can let it out from my cramped mind ).

Hope anybody won’t mind this post at all, cause it’s simply NOT laptop related!

Its been quite a while since I post anything directly related to laptops, pardon me ya’ all.

It’s also been quite sometime since I post my laptop essential series since the first being the in-built webcam and the second one being the in-built wireless adapter (or wifi).

Today I will be talking about another essential element that can be found in today’s laptops : The Bluetooth technology.

I remember back then, when bluetooth technology just kicked off, people are packing IT shops getting the craze item at the time; the bluetooth wireless adapter for laptops and mind you it’s not cheap.

Now why a laptop with bluetooth technology is essential.

I feel very wired this week, my blog “Laptop Info Today” has been hit by numerous spam comments from almost any hour of the day.

Actually I did not want to let go this post, but what the hell.

It’s been quite hectic, an average of 5 spam comments have hit this blog everyday for the past week.

Spam comments is nothing new to the Web 2.0 community and I was lucky enough to install akismet plugin before it really hit me bad.

Anybody facing this experience ….  drop me a comment ( and pls no spam )

First of all, I have to have my laptop to thank for relieving my stress today.

Hey, why not?

I was entirely busy at work, got hardly to sit down for even 10 minutes even (hard to handle so many PC jobs and requests).

Entirely bad day, not really.

I was scrolling around you tube and bumped back to one of my favorite tracks back in tose days.

Well, don’t ask me what it means ….. I’m quite nuts about the lyrics but the tune relieves my aching stress headaches fast…..

I enjoy this video very much(till now even) ….. and I hope you will too.

Gosh …. how I still miss those days.
