As I predicted:)


Macbook air, is an old news now. It's out, it's started selling i guess. I like it, but i would buy it only as a second machine. It's thin, it has that new trackpad, the keyboard is good, it's cool to have.

I just think it lacks some horsepower, altho the CPU that Intel made is quite impressive (in size). I lack another USB port, and a optical drive, but thats pretty much it. I guess for USA the price is quite expnsive, but for Europeans it's not that bad. ( I love the exchange rates!!)

Microsoft Surface

I'm giving you Microsoft Surface possibilities:


and Microsoft Surface parody:



A like both movies, but I'm on the side of progress and I think gadgets similar to Microsoft Surface are the future. No more Wireless and Bluetooth hookups, just lay your gadget on the table and you are ready to go. If the table could hook to your big ass HDTV even better. No more cables for connecting your camera,... Our life would become very very easy and lazy and we would spend our time sitting at home or at a bar drinking and playing with the table. I guess physical activity will become even more important in the future then it's now. (and eve today we have millions of obese -heavy people) People used to go to walks, each others houses, coffee shops to talk, they used to play outside, work outside... Now we just use PS3, XBOX 360, PC... for playing and MSN, Gtalk, ICQ for chatting. My father still doesn't understand how is my sister able to sped hours and hours on the MSN. He made me think and now i don't even log in to MSN, i use Gtalk and i talk only when i'm up for it. I rather go out to talk or use email for my friends far far away.

Handpresso

When you are in need of an espresso and there is no coffee shop arround :))

Using Google to download songs

Hey!

I stumbled upon an article which explains how can you use Google as a P2P Network, similar to Limewire, Emule,...

So, how to do it:

1. Type this into your Google search
intitle:"index.of" (mp3|mp4|avi) killing.me.softly -php -html -htm -asp -cf -jsp and click search

2. Copy everything from the URL bar and press CTRL+B (to open Bookmarks-works in Firefox)

3. Right click and make a new Bookmark. Name it what ever you want and in the Location bar paste the URL that you copied (then find the name of the song Killing.me.softly in that URL, erase it and type %s in its place). In the Keyword bar type music and click OK.

Now type in the URL bar music and a name of your song.(Example: music Robin.Williams) Be sure to use . (dot) instead of space. I searched for Robin.Williams and i clicked on one of the results. The picture shows what you get, when you click on a result. Now, to download song, just right-click on it and press Save as. Thats it. I hope you enjoy it.

Making Firefox faster

Hey!

Firefox is already fast and i think better than IE 7, but there is a way to make it even faster. The process is really fast and easy. It shouldn't give you any trouble.

1. In the URL bar type about:config
2. Then type network in the Filter bar and find network.http.pipelining. Double click it to change it from false to true
3. Just under network.http.pipelining you will find network.http.pipelining.maxrequests. Again double click and change the value from 4 to 100.
4. Restart Firefox and try some of your favorite web pages. It should open pages much quicker

I tested the time it took Firefox to open my Netvibes page, with and without the hack. Result: the hack improved Firefox for 40%.
