5 ... I would believe I can stay for at least another 8 hours.
It been two day at the office working almost 24 hours destroying our braincell preparing a tender documentation for a new project, well I wouldn't comment much regarding the project but it's a big project. Although it's such a struggling period to stay awake and at the same time complete the task in time but I would believe I can stay for at least another 8 hours.
Finally....
After months of drooling over the ever popular Shader Model 3, HDR (High Dynamic Range), things like that, now it's finally available for an AGP person like me. Of course that there's Nvidia 7800GS natively for AGP but due to it's limitation in antialiasing (once HDR in turned on, AA is off and vice versa), thanks but i'll stick to ATI.
Does owning a Mac make you look cool?
Does owning a Mac make you look cool? Maybe Apple would like to think so, just look at the latest TV Ads from Apple. However based from recent study conducted by MetaFacts it the other way around. Here the thing, most Mac owner are actually people ages 55 and above while PC buyer are between 18 and 25.
I pretty much sure that those younger would be more cooler than the elderly, well at least based from how Apple define "Cool". Head out to Apple: Cool enough for your granny for more detail on the exposure.
Menacing Acer ePowering Technology Framework
Last friday, I had to cover for Hardware Department to troubleshoot Acer Notebook which we had deliver to one of our client. As usual I would suspect it's were cause by virus attack before even checking the notebook, with some manual troubleshooting by checking out the Task Manager I noticed more that 10 process were specifically for Acer Utility Add-on and the worst came from Acer Empowering Technology Framework which constantly hog CPU usage and memory.
I have to ask Acer why did they come out with all this non-critical features anyway, I would close an eye if it's a third-party software or application but the application came from Acer itself. How irony, Acer software slowing down Acer Notebook. It's a bad marketing policy if they actually does it on purpose. Anyway if it were up to me I would uninstall everything but this time I just delete it startup command in regedit.
Would'nt It Be Nice ??
