Wireless mouse then, and now.

Firefox 4.0 review

Images is enough to describe it, I guess.

Pros :

-6x faster ( That’s what they said )

-cleaner UI, refurbished add-ons manager and

-much more responsive

Cons:

-Tabs at the top, probably brainwashed by Google

-Too little space for the bookmarks toolbar

-My previous theme is not compatible with this version and

-I’m considering rolling back to 3.6

If Wifi routers could write poems…..

And now, I present you Belkin Wireless-G Router……

I’m Back!

I’m back. But not for long. It’s just a semester break. I will be gone after this (again)……

But hey! I just bought an External HD 2.5″ 500GB Western Digital. Let’s see the performance on this thing. I have to move all the data on my previous, bulky, heavy, 3.5″ 80Gb Maxtor HD.

Old is Gold

There are 4 RTSs that I have ever played in my entire life. In chronological order : Total Annihilation, Starcraft, Warcraft III and Dawn of War. I’ve made an analysis to compare the main part in RTS which is the units. Frankly, Total Annihilation, which is the oldest, has the most type of unit available.

Below is the table showing the unit type versus RTS games.

The winner : Total Annihilation. The oldest of them all, 13 years of playing. Plus, players can download 3rd party units. I don’t see how other RTSs can add unit in their games. Looks like an analogy for the PC vs Mac. Starcraft is well-known to gamers as well as a Windows PC. Total Annihilation is better than any other RTS which is quite similar to Macs, but people didn’t know about them.

An Inconvenient Truth

There’s only one web browser with the tab is located at the top of the window. Google Chrome.

This comic below is a sneak peak that shows the documentation of the ‘awesomeness’ of the browser. Everything they said does make sense and quite good actually. But there’s only one flaw : The Tab

Users don’t want their tab being far away from the mouse. I don’t understand why does the market share of this browser is rising and will gradually beating Internet Explorer. And I don’t understand why do they point it out like it was an advantage? “We could detach the tabs easily…..”. Oh, THEY could easily detached it, not us, the users.

Windows Fact #2

But frankly, if you rename the folder/file in other operating system, the folder/file name stays there. Pretty wierd.

( Credits to Abg Zid’s Macbook Pro for renaming the folder )

Windows Calendar Review

Microsoft always wanted to improve their personal organization software, those which they want to follow some softwares in Mac OSX such as, iCal, iPhoto, iMovie and so on. Today, let’s talk about Windows Calendar

Why am I doing this : Need to start keeping an eye on the calendar. There’s more work and task coming soon….

Included in Windows Vista but not inlcuded in Windows 7. Why??? I have to do some google search to find this App for Windows 7 which I finally ended up at some Win7 forum.

First run

Pretty clean user interface, pretty simple and easy to read.

Filling up the details. Again, very simple. Totally different from Windows Media Player which I think the most complicated navigation I’ve ever used.

This calendar seek navigation is very easy to use. I wish I could show you how it works but, this is a still picture.

Conclusions : Well, i could say that Microsoft did pretty good job on listening to consumers. But still, we, consumers did not get 100% satisfaction from a PC.
