I’ve just watched this movie ( Invisible Target ) with my girlfriend. It’s quite a nice movie, full of actions and humorous.

This is the most funny part. Three of them applying “Medicated wine” for each other wounds, suddenly one of the grandma came in and saw them naked… Thought them having ” 3P gay party “. The 3 heroes are Nicholas Tze, Shawn Yue, and Jacky Chan’s son Jaycee Chan.

VirtuaWin is a virtual desktop manager for the Windows operating system (Win9x/ME/NT/Win2K/XP). A virtual desktop manager lets you organize applications over several virtual desktops (also called ‘workspaces’). Virtual desktops are very common in Unix/Linux, and once you get accustomed to using them, they become an essential part of a productive workflow.

VirtuaWin is designed to be simple and elegant to use yet still be highly configurable and extensible.

Well, after finished assemble, is the time for us to see what is the performance of my new machine.

CPU Performance

Normally, benchmark just let us know the figures of the performance… But i use to feel it myself.

With 1GB memory, when running big software ( eat a lot of memory ) like photoshop and nero, it shown faster compared to my old machine with 512MB memory.

With the new Nvidia 8500GT graphic card, when playing DOTA all the video setting had been automatic set to the best quality…

When come to surt net, u cant feel much different, because the speed is depends on the internet connection.

Due to no Vista cd, therefore i couldnt test whether my system with 1GB ram can run Vista with Aero3D or not.

I just assembled my new AMD PC yesterday. So, i will share with u all how i DIY my own PC.

This week theme is about sweet.

Talk about sweet, i think nearly everybody likes it especially kids. When i’m small, i use to eat sweet. But due to lack of money, not much sweet i can enjoy, especially chocolate.

Now, i’m able to purchase chocolate or whatever sweet i like, but due to obesity i cant take much… Some more have to avoid it…. Haiz… What a pity…

Nowadays laptop is getting popular. With less than RM2000 we can get a branded celeron m/c, even is not so powerful but its enough for office purpose and surf net.

Even how expensive the laptop can be…. There still having same problem… Short battery usage time and lifetime. Normally a 6 cell battery only can last around 2 hours… This is not including multitasking… Some more normaly life span for the battery is just around 2 years.

I came across FriedBeef blog regarding the top 15 ways of extend your laptop battery life. Is quite a good guide. Other than that, i think below few points also quite good in extending battery life.
