Hey, my always-connected buddy, you can sit on top of me! Are you really doubtful to the lilliputians ? Don't know what a netbook computer can do for you. Intel made videos comparing their 2 very popular microprocessor technologies for mobile PCs: the Intel Centrino and the Intel Atom. Video 1: On processing power Video 2: On multimedia Video 3: On portability Does Intel want to mislead you ? In the bigger picture of mobile computing, netbooks were meant to be the smaller, more compact form of a laptop, powerful enough  to browse the Internet with ease. With small screens, small keyboards, small form, it's portable enough to take anywhere where there's a spot to connect to the Internet. You will think, though, that you can just throw off this device when you aren't satisfied because of its mediocre  processing power. Think again. In most parts, many of my schoolmates here in UP Mindanao whose families come from the lower middle to low income bracke...

Hello! I've been having an interest in OS-tans , a Japanese meme which depicts personifications of operating systems, especially in the Windows family. While I'm not an otaku for Japanese anime culture, I got the interest of OS-tans because I am learning the Japanese language, and I am sick of being bored yet in love for my customized Windows XP SP3. So I searched for something interesting about Windows, and I came across a OS-tan of Windows 7. So I studied and came across a collection of OS-tans from the Windows family, to the Apple line, and to the Linux distributions. See the collection here . I subscribed to Dell's YouTube page and came across a number of videos which gave me interest. One is implementing Ubuntu Linux 8.04 in their Inspiron Mini 9. Also I also watched an introduction to one of Dell's luxury offerings, the Adamo. I wished I had one of these laptops with brushed metal finishes, glass-lined screen edges, illuminated keyboard, and all-aluminum ...

I've been handling this Dell Latitude D420  for 3 weeks now, and I can't believe this PC has given me everything I need. This 2006 Dell notebook was bought in a surplus computer shop in Bajada, Davao City. When I took a look at it for the first time, I thought, "this is the mobile PC I was looking for." At only 3 pounds (or 1.36 kg), it's super light like a netbook. It's compact like a netbook. It's thin like a netbook. But it isn't a netbook in its looks and in what's inside of it. It was intended to be a business-focused notebook computer. It has a discrete design, not in-your-face, strong and masculine. It can take more abuse than a conventional netbook. Take a look at what I've been getting: Processor: Intel Core Duo U2500 ULV (1.20GHz, 533MHz FSB, 2MB L2 Cache) Screen: 12.1" WXGA TFT LCD 1280 x 800 (Matte) Graphics: Intel GMA 950 (Integrated, up to 224MB shared) Memory: 1.5GB, DDR2-533 SDRAM, (512MB Integrated) 2 DIMMs H...

What a better way to blog than declaring to you that I officially lost my cellphone , (edit: it was just found, LOL) I want to tell you about   a Cherry Mobile D35 with a 2GB micro SD card. Got " lost " it while a journey back home to our home in Buhangin. While it was placed it in my pocket at my journey downtown from Mintal, I dozed off with the annoying cigarette smoke beside me (the driver was huffing-puffing his Marlboro Lights beside me) since I was very tired after our CS128 class, not noticing that the pocket opened and exposed my cellphone. (I don't know yet that if someone in the jeepney stole it or it dropped off the jeepney seats. I don't know it yet.) I never noticed it was "lost"until the next evening my brother told me that he would charge his Nokia 2330 with my charger (my charger has the same output voltage as his cellphone's input voltage). While scurrying through my things, I panicked when I realized my cellphone isn't in my ba...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! This is not working well! I've been under tremendous pressure since I started 2011. I'm in pressure with my CS128 project - since I haven't started with coding with the system yet; still defining those functions and constructing those diagrams. I CAN'T SLEEP WELL! So this less sleep, more fatigue gets me in the way of succeeding this project. I don't know how to come up with it. And with my ENG 10 paper, I have to define my variables for my research and do my best to conduct the surveys I'm intending to do. I CAN'T SLEEP WELL!!! Oh, the PRESSURE. Oh, the FATIGUE. Oh, the PRESSURE. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR. How will I stop this menace?  KENNETH
