I have a HP Pavilion zv5000 and it has no power what-so-ever. The problem seemed to be something with the DC Power Jack because for a week or so, I could still get some lights to come on by wriggling the cord. Anyway, I took out my voltage meter and tested the AC Power Cord, it reads correctly at 19.51 volts

Just as the EU declared victory over Microsoft having secured the dubious benefit of a browser “choice screen” – I’m wondering if users will suspect malware when this thing appears – the FTC has stepped in with an anti-trust case of its own . the FTC alleges that Intel has waged a systematic campaign to shut out rivals’ competing microchips by cutting off their access to the marketplace.

As a connoisseur (read: obsessive collector) of bags, I have discovered the ingredients of the perfect design. The problem is, I have no idea of the recipe with which they should be mixed together. Taken on their rather strong product releases over the past few months, it seems the folks at Booq have been taste-testing bag designs and have come up with some pretty scrumptious results.
As many of you know, we launched our first student photo competition, Where Do You Like to Learn , on October 15, 2009. The goal of the competition was to encourage primary and secondary school students to celebrate the digitally connected world that we live in by taking photographs of their preferred learning environment and share them with the community. Although we weren’t surprised by the creativity you’ve shown, we were surprised by the more than 200 entries and more than 300 votes we’ve received from all over the world! Our judging panel and community have come together over the last month to select an eligible winner …Drum roll, please… The winner of our Where Do You Like to Learn photo competition is Photo #6, submitted by Mrs

If you are a TelstraClear customer and try to watch to watch a YouTube video clip these days you will likely see the following routine: buffer five seconds, play three seconds, ad nauseam. Using some “techniques” that work with other ISPs which cache YouTube content locally won’t help – refreshing the page on your browser for example won’t get a “local” version from your ISP, since TelstraClear doesn’t seem to offer this kind of service. This has been happening for about a month now, and it seems to affect both cable modem and DSL customers

Last week, Eric Schmidt, who is the CEO at Google, made some comments that raised more than a few eyebrows. During a recent interview with CNBC, Schmidt was asked whether it is a good idea for users to share their information with Google. His response was: “If you have something that you don’t want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn’t be doing it in the first place.” While I can appreciate his intention, it is a pretty risky thing to say when you are the CEO of a search engine. His comments seem particularly unreasonable when you consider how upset Schmidt was when CNET reporters found out about his salary, donations and other personal information and included their findings in a published article. In response to this, Schmidt blacklisted the reporters from Google. The ironic thing is that they obtained all of their information by searching Google.

Had some problems with my bank a few days ago. Apparently I was charged like 3 pounds from my account without any notice, clarified that with that at the branch and was told it was a stray bank charge and they immediately refunded the value in full. Scary! Banks are different here and the bank’s online facility is quite unique from that back home in Singapore as well- yes we have to key in the bank pin and password each time you log on, the catch is that you are not allowed to enter the password in full, but rather key in 3-4 characters from your long passwords and pin based on their character position, mental! And yes, the secure card reader don’t seem to have much use either.
