Smaller Laptop

thetwogeeks.JPGI got a new laptop.

My previous laptop is already small with its 12.4” size but my new laptop looks way smaller with its 10.2” size. It’s a good buy considering that its specifications are not bad at all. The brand might not be popular but I think it is very competitive with its 120 GB memory, 1GB RAM, Intel atom processor, built in web cam, wireless adapter, 3 USB slots, SD card slot, and a LAN Card. I think it’s enough for what i need it for plus it is super light–perfect for a girl!

I sold my old laptop to my sister. It’s also an Hassee and it has better specifications but I sold it to her because she’ll need a stronger computer than me.

Computer Slowdown

Once my computer encountered a major slowdown. At first, I thought that the slowdown was caused by viruses that I unknowingly caught from surfing the net so I tried running my antivirus software. After the long full scan, my anti-virus software reported that my computer doesn’t have any virus infection and it is free from malicious programs so I got confused. I asked a fried about it and the advice was I should empty my temporary internet file folder because a full temp folder also causes slow down. I did that but still there was no change in my computer’s speed.

So I did a little research on my own and I learned that installing and uninstalling software can also cause computer slowdown because while doing so, your registry sometimes get errors and these little errors are the culprits for your computer’s inefficiency. I also read that there are a lot of free software that can scan windows registry for errors so what I did was to download one of them, installed it and ran it. I was so pleased because it worked.

If you are experiencing the same problem (or any other technical problem) with your computer, you should also try to do some research because most of the time, the solution is already there.

Yeah, It is Working Here.

It’s been exactly five days now since I got my iPhone but I am still so eager to play with it. From the time I got it, all I did was to install and uninstall apps and download music and videos from the iTunes store. It is really  a cool mobile phone. Owning one made me feel that I finally joined the “present”.

Because I keep on trying out stuff to pimp my iPhone, I sometimes encounter files with file extensions I never heard of. Anyway, the file extension is not in the list of my worries. My iPhone is working perfectly even though I didn’t subscribe for a service from those expensive mobile companies. Maybe you are wondering how that happened since I am now in China and in China there is no mobile company that has signed a contract with Apple yet. Well, this is China and when it comes to electronics, anything is possible here. IPhones are selling like pancakes and we can use our iPhones with our prepaid SIM!

A friend asked me if I feel guilt at all for spending so much on a mobile phone and honestly, I feel a little bit guilty but I’d rather spend more on a device that I can really use rather than spend it on something I can get tired of so easily.

Another Headache Cure

The computer is running slow this morning and I hate it. It is a Monday today and I have a lot of catching up to do with my blogging. This can’t be right. I don’t know what’s going on so I googled something and this is what I read… “Unless you update your drivers regularly the odds are that your PC will be slower or more likely to crash, or will have problems connecting with peripherals”.

Oh My God! This can’t be happening. I need a faster computer because I am a multi-tasker. I usually have 3 to 5 windows open all at the same time because I blog hop. So I need a solution and I am glad that I found Uniblue.com which provides DriverScanner. Uniblue has the answer for my pc problem. I realized that unless I regularly update my drivers my pc won’t run as it used to. It may even create problems from somewhat minor like running slow to major headache such as system crash. And in order to avoid such problems I need to keep updating my drivers and to do this I need a driver scanner software that will do the job.

Good thing the solution comes in handy with Uniblue.com. I downloaded the software I need from the website and I scanned my computer to identify the entire outdated driver and that is free of charge. I just registered the software for only $29.95 and I can use all the cool features and download the latest drivers I need. Now, my computer is running fast and I am headache-free.

Updating Your Drivers

If you are having some problems with your computer and it’s not about a virus or a registry error, it may be because some of your drivers are old and they need to be updated. If you don’t know how to update drivers, you are not alone. Many computer users are clueless when it comes to what lies beneath the functioning hardware parts of a computer. If you are one of these people, don’t worry, it is easy to learn how to install and update hardware drivers.

First, it is important to know what a driver is. A driver is a file that controls an internal or external device such as webcam, printer, LAN card, DVD ROM, and others. Windows (or other OS system) uses these drivers to communicate with the different hardware attached to it.

Most of the time, Windows can detect if there is a new hardware connected to it and will automatically install it but there are sometimes you need to install the drivers manually and there’s also a Windows’ wizard to help you do that easily.

Sometimes a particular hardware needs to update its driver for newer version and added functionality. You can search the net for the manufacturer of the hardware, download the driver from them, and install it manually but if you would like to skip the hassles of doing all those things, you can do it automatically with some help from software such as DriverScanner. Uniblue, the makers of DriverScanner, offers a free scan to you help you track which hardware need driver updates and for only 29.95$, you’ll be able to register it and use all features and automatically download latest drivers.

To Host or Not To Host

I love writing. I was a typical girl with diaries. Sad to say, I don’t have those journals anymore. I still love writing. But with the introduction of modern technology my writing passion turned into blogging. I am currently managing 9 blog sites that are active and dynamic. And to have the full benefit of the technology, I have all my blogs web hosted.

Web Hosting is the thing of the present in the cyber world. A lot of bloggers have their blogs hosted. It is easy to manage blogs or websites if they are hosted and if you can afford it. And though a lot of web hosting service providers claim that they are cheap and affordable, it is hard if you don’t have any idea how affordable is cheap hosting.  But the hardest part in choosing the most affordable web hosting service is when there are lots of them to choose from.

Good thing there is WebHostingRating.com. which can help you make that decision through their web hosting rating. They provide the biggest searchable web hosting directory that features important information about the web hosting service providers in terms of rank, price, space, traffic and unedited customer reviews. They even have plans, promotional and discount coupons that will give you a great deal. And that will give you the head start to make up your mind if you want… to host or not to host… your website.
