Too much attention for Facebook this days!

Facebook LLC has received a lot of publicity lately, understandably so. I unfortunately, have to say the publicity isn’t positive; in fact it is very negative. Rumors have been spreading throughout the internet about a virus called fan check supposedly infecting Facebook user’s computers with a virus. According to all of the sources I’ve read the fan check virus has yet to be confirmed, it’s currently only a rumor and just like in real life rumors lead to trouble.

PC advisor wrote about how users wanting to find out if the fan check virus is real, are actually catching real viruses. When users read about this virus on social networks, they instinctively go to search engines such as Google to get more information and end up clicking into websites that give them real viruses.

President Obama spoke to teenagers about Facebook September 8th in his back to school speech. According to an article on reuters.com when a teenager asked Obama how to become President of the US, part of the Presidents reply was “I want everybody here to be careful about what you post on Facebook, because in the YouTube age, whatever you do, it will be pulled up again later somewhere in your life.”

What President Obama said should be basic knowledge in this day and age, but apparently it isn’t. When you’re young you can sometimes be ignorant and not realize what you do or say may have an impact on your future. According to reuters.com, people have been rejected for jobs because of what was seen on their Facebook and or MySpace pages by future employers. If you want more information on what President Obama said about the internet in his Back to school speech go to reuters.com. If you would like to read my source on the fan check virus go to pcadvisor.co.uk

Kingston launch world's first 256GB thumb drive

Is that a whopping 256GB USB flash drive in your pocket or are you just happy to see me? The huge flash drive is in Kingston Technology's pocket as they are set to launch the highest capacity USB thumb drive available on the market this week, with their DataTraveler 300 device. Whether the demand for such a device exists remains to be seen.

The flash drive includes password protection functionality - through their Password Traveler software - which can protect of up to 90% of its capacity, and it is apparently enhanced for use with Windows Vista's ReadyBoost feature. Kingston state that the 256GB of storage space is equivalent to that of 10 Blu-ray discs, 54 DVDs, or 365 CDs - "that's one album for every day of the year, and it demonstrates how far flash technology has developed," says Kirsty Miller, consumer product marketing manager for Kingston Technology Europe.

If you want to fill it up and transfer 152,384 of your 5 megapixel photos to the device then the transfer speeds of it offer you 10 MB/second write speeds or 20 MB/second read speeds through USB 2.0, although USB 3.0 would seem to make more sense when handling data of this size. It is currently only available in Europe, the Far East, the Middle East and Africa and will cost about £565.67 (excluding VAT) for those in the UK, according to TechRadar, although Kingston say that the device is built to order only. The price includes a five year warranty and 24/7 support.

"The Kingston DataTraveler 300 is ideal for netbook users who want to extend the limited capacity of their machines," Kingston claim, presuming that people will spend a lot more on a store device than they did on their actual netbook. "It can also be used by business consumers who work with large databases, or even designers who need to transfer large graphic files from one place to another."

Easier way to know your hardware

Most of us would just recommend to physically open up CPU, dismantle the RAM and look for the mark. But is there a way to know without physically dismantling the RAM? Yes, there is.

I have been using a good free software to do this. Download the cpu-z software. Extract and launch the cpuz.exe. A window will come out.



cpuz to check memory details

From here you can see lots of information. if you want to see the RAM used, click SPD. With this information, your RAM is 512 MB, PC3200 (200Mhz)

Folder Size for Windows 2.4

Setting it up

1. First, make sure you're running Windows 2000 or XP. Sorry, it doesn't work in Vista.
2. Download the installer (regular 32-bit) (XP x64).
3. Run the downloaded file to start the install wizard. It has boring template text, so just keep clicking Next. Typical and Complete installs do the same thing, Custom lets you change where it gets installed.
4. Now the Folder Size column is available to Explorer, but Explorer isn't displaying it yet. Open an Explorer window in Details view.
5. Right click on the column headers to see a list of columns you can add. Choose Folder Size.
6. Now we can replace the existing Size column with the new Folder Size column. Right click on the column headers and uncheck the Size column. Drag the Folder Size column header to where Size used to be.
7. Make this the default view for all folders. Go to Folder Options from the Tools menu. In the View tab, click Apply to All Folders.

Changing settings

Look in the Windows Control Panels to find the Folder Size control panel. If you're in the confusing Category View in XP, where it says Pick a category, click on Switch to Classic View in the left-hand pane. And then view as Icons. Isn't that better?

Use the control panel to change the way sizes are displayed. Also stop the service to stop any background activity.

Removing

So it crashes every once in a while, and slows down your computer. That's no reason to uninstall it. Well, if you really want to, use the Add or Remove Programs control panel. You'll have to manually fix the columns in Explorer too.

’冷冷‘的夜晚

好热的夜晚，没有一丝的风
又多蚊虫 不敢开窗换气
让人厌烦， 又是一个难眠的夜晚

当结束一整天繁忙的工作时，
在静夜 惊醒时， 枕边已潮湿一片
