Being an IT administrator, I have always wanting to make life simpler for myself; i.e. to carry my programs (or program files) and use them whenever I  go.

A laptop is a good mobility tool but sometimes you can’t possibly use it at work or carry it everywhere ( do note my Lenovo is like 3kg and the battery life last for about an hour and a half on full charge).

Though this is a laptop blog, I would also like to share with you technologies that can be made much more simpler for us users.

I’ve recently made my imation Flash Go! USB drive a portable application.

To make my explanation sounds simpler, I can now run my office suite, browser, chat program, media player,  password manager tool, anti-virus, pdf reader, e-mail client and much more … all from my USB thumbdrive.

That’s a lot of stuffs there and my thumdrive is only 4 Gb, so how is this possible?

Hi everyone, welcome to the 1st post of 2009 from Laptop Info Today.

I’ve been busy with my studies and quite frankly, I’m stealing my time right to blog to you guys .

Anyway this post is something I want to do for quite a while a what better to start off with the first post on 2009.

Well, Firefox is extremely fast and furious if you were to compare with IE7 (IE8 beta 2 is even worse ). But if you want to make it even faster you can try these tips and see for yourself whether it works for you.

Let’s go though the steps:-

1. Open up your browser and type about:config on the address
2. Look out for “network.http.pipelining” and “network.http.proxy.pipelining”.
3. Change both default values from FALSE to TRUE.
4. Next right click at anywhere from the browser and click “Create New” > “Integer”.
5. Type nglayout.initialpaint.delay as the name.
6. Insert 0 (that is zero is numeric) as the default value.
7. Restart Firefox.

What the steps actually does are :-

1. It helps to load streaming videos faster
2. No lag in online games
3. Increase the speed of browsing and downloading
