Laptops

So my Samsung laptop's battery seems to be dying. Windows 7 warns me that it needs replacement. It's a great new feature of Windows 7 but can't say I trust what it's saying 100%. I Googled about it and I learned that most laptop battery's life lasts only a year, so I think that confirms I need to get my battery replaced. Does anyone know how much a laptop battery is? I'm disappointed that it didn't even last 2 years. My old Philippine-made Neo laptop didn't start having problems until a few months after turning 2 years old. :p

I was already considering buying a new laptop (or maybe a Mac Mini), but can't really commit to it because of future travel plans that I need to set aside budget for. But this problem may change some of my priorities. *sigh*

What's your laptop? How long have you been using it before it started showing problems?

A Way to Track Philippine Peso Bills!

When you fork out that cash to pay someone, have you ever wondered where it will end up next? Will it be passed on to another customer, or will they be used to purchase other stuff? I was counting my savings and was wondering where I spend my money, and that's when the idea hit me: create a way to track it. And by track, I mean follow its movement across the Philippines. Not how I'm spending it lol. PisoTracker.com is the answer. To everyone who is interested in knowing where things are, PisoTracker is a great way to find out where your money is right now. Wait, is it still "your money"? Or is it "theirs" now? Anyway, by entering the serial number of your Philippine peso bill, you will be able to find out if somebody out there got hold of your money and entered its serial number to the site. You will see the date they entered it, as well as the location. It's pretty neat, don't you think? Before I created the website, I did some research and fou...

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (No Spoilers)

Yes! I finished reading the book last Monday, early morning. I think it was awesome! We finally got the answers to some of the questions that have been bugging us (or at least me), like why the DADA position is jinxed, Voldemort's background, and of course, who is the half-blood prince. It's a bit shorter than Goblet of Fire, and some scenes felt "rushed". Others say the characters weren't their usual selves on some parts of the books, and I agree. Overall, I think this is better than OotP in terms of "content". But my favorite HP book is still Prisoner of Azkaban. :) **** I'm currently reading Travels by Michael Crichton.

Mozilla!

I really love Mozilla products. I've been using Firefox as my browser for several months now, and it's all pleasure. There are some fancy stuff that it can't seem to do (like glowing fonts), but I'm not complaining. The best thing about it is that it is FREE. The installer file is also quite small, about 4.5 MB, very convenient to download. Try it out! You'll forget you even have IE. If you are using Outlook or Outlook Express and you are hating it, I suggest trying Mozilla's Thunderbird email client. Again, this is FREE to download, the installer is only 5.8 MB, and there's one feature that I totally love about it: you can download RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds to your computer! Are you still with me? I'll give you an example. I download blogs using my Thunderbird program! Blogs! Yes! Isn't that neat? Instead of visiting different blogs, you can download the latest entries right to your computer. It's amazing. But of course, you need ...
