Internet and the Brain

Johnny — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 19:54:36 +0000

I was reading a pretty recent article which I think is a revolution by itself.

Researchers at University of California Los Angeles discovered that the internet use boosts the brain power.

Here is a section of the article that was posted by Lain Thomson on Vnunet

A team of scientists from the University of California Los Angeles has found that internet use among the middle aged stimulates certain sections of the brain and can counteract the natural slowing of thought processes that occurs as we get older. (more…)

A Young Businessman

Below is a short joke about a young entrepreneur which made my day

A young businessman had just started his own firm. He had just rented a beautiful office and had it furnished with antiques.

He saw a man come into the outer office. Wishing to appear the hot shot, the businessman picked up the phone and started to pretend he had a big deal working. He threw huge figures around and made giant commitments.

Finally he hung up and asked the visitor, “Can I help you?”

“Yeah, I’ve come to activate your phone lines.”

Stock Market Crash Continues

Johnny — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 09:24:25 +0000

I was having a look at the Daily Forex reports, and it was obvious that regardless of the continuous stock market crash, the forex markets are relatively steady so far.

While the stock market crash continues all over the world, the forex markets are relatively steady so far. Yen edges higher against dollar, euro and sterling but remains in range so far. Dollar continues to retreat against most major currencies. The biggest loser today is indeed the Aussie which dives to as low as 0.6746 against dollar and 67.26 against the yen. The weakness in the Aussie is some what a delayed reaction to yesterday’s unexpected 100bps rate cut from RBA as well as carry trade unwinding. The Aussie is additionally pressured after data showed consumer confidence plummeted by -11% in Oct.

And looking at the UK government and its plans show how tough the situation is. (more…)

EASY SCHEDULING

Johnny — Sat, 02 Aug 2008 16:57:39 +0000

It is really hard to reach a consensus on a meeting date when you have a decent number of participants in the meeting.

All I had to do was to search the web for a professional time saving tool to schedule a meeting, and one of the hits that I got was http://www.doodle.ch/

There you can Create an event, adjust the dates, and forward the link to the event to all your participants.

Then you can follow online what the participants vote for.

A key feature of this tool is that it has a time zone support.

Give it a try and I guess you will like it too.

TRACE EMAILS AND LOCATE THE SENDERS

Joseph — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 17:19:34 +0000

Many times one would like to know the location of an email sender.

Is it possible?

Yes, it is. You can easily trace who is sending emails to you and locate their location. Moreover you can know their IP addresses.

Below are the simple steps to get all these above information:

First we need to find the Email header which contains information about the sender including the IP address, router, and receiver.
Getting the email header depends on what type of email you are using.
If you are using YAHOO, all you have to do is to click on the message, and click on “full header” under the header list.
If you are using HOTMAIL, right click on the message and click “View Source”, and you need all the information shown.

Dell Latitude loose screen
Johnny — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 22:53:51 +0000
As a regular dell customer, one will feel disappointed with the new latitude series although they look more durable.
An annoying issue is the unacceptable swaying of the screen, which wasn’t noticed in the previous latitude models. The first thing that one thinks of is that the hinges are not tight. If you are fortunate, and you have no problem with the hinges, then this issue is solvable.
To fix this problem, all you need to do is to tighten the screws shown in the figure below:

I hope this solution sorts out this problem for you, and your comments are highly appreciated!
Note: This solution can be applied to all Dell Latitude series including D530 , D630 , D830 , D430
