Dell Laptops Can Catch Fire?


Dell Laptops Can Catch Fire?

I happened to drop by a website and it stated some serious matter about Dell laptops. this words are directly taken from Dell websites.

Dell has identified a potential issue associated with certain batteries sold with Dell Latitude™, Inspiron™, XPS™ and Dell Precision Mobile Workstation™ notebook computers. In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and other regulatory agencies, Dell is voluntarily recalling certain Dell-branded batteries with cells manufactured by Sony and offering free replacements for these batteries. Under rare conditions, it is possible for these batteries to overheat, which could pose a risk of fire.

Potentially affected batteries were sold with the following models of Dell notebook computers or separately as secondary batteries:

Latitude: D410, D500, D505, D510, D520, D600, D610, D620, D800, D810
Inspiron: 500M, 510M, 600M, 700M, 710M, 6000, 6400, 8500, 8600, 9100, 9200, 9300, 9400, E1505, E1705
Precision: M20, M60, M70, M90
XPS: XPS, XPS Gen2, XPS M170, XPS M1710

In addition, these batteries MAY have also been provided in response to service calls. The batteries were shipped to customers between April 1, 2004 and July 18, 2006. The words "DELL" and "Made in Japan" or "Made in China" or "Battery cell made in Japan, Assembled in China" or "Assembled in Taiwan" are printed on the back of the batteries.

STALKER preview


STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl continues its steady march towards a PC launch later this year, and to keep your flames of interest burning we've dug up some new images from the subterranean, monster-infested tunnels that await in your quest to uncover valuable radioactive artefacts.

PS3: Annual press conference reveals everything you need to know




Sony held its annual E3 press conference today and revealed the final details of the PlayStation 3 release. Here's what you need to know: the system will hit North America and Europe on November 17, while the Japanese get it on November 11.

Here's the part that will make you cringe: when it hits, the system will be available in two packages, and neither of them come cheap. For $499, you'll be able to snag a PS3 that has a 20-gigabyte hard drive. For $599, you'll get one that has a 60-gigabyte hard drive, along with a few other features: an HDMI high-definition video port and a Memory Stick/SD/Compact Flash slot for portable data saving. It also has Wi-Fi capabilities, while the cheaper model connects to the internet using an old-fashioned Ethernet cable. And yes - these "additions" are available only on the more expensive package. Sorry.


Sony Ships 1 Million PS3s in N. America

January 07, 2007


Are we worried about strong sales of the Wii or Xbox 360? Not really

In an important early look at the pivotal holiday sales season, Sony Corp. said it met its goal of shipping 1 million PlayStation 3 consoles to North America in 2006 despite ongoing production problems with the still hard-to-find video game system.

The figure is about half of Sony's stated goal of 2 million PS3s globally by the end of 2006. The company did not disclose a global tally in the announcement, made at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

Sony has dominated previous rounds of the console wars with the PlayStation 1 and 2, but it is still undecided who will grab the lead this time around _ the PS3, or its two chief rivals: Nintendo Co.'s Wii and the Xbox 360 from Microsoft Corp.

The PS3's launch had been delayed in the United States from the spring to November, yet supply problems were still evident when it went for sale on Nov. 17.

The company ended up selling 197,000 PS3s on launch day, less than half of the 400,000 it had initially forecast. The market research company NPD Group estimated that U.S. consumers bought 476,000 Wiis in the two weeks following its Nov. 19 launch.

Sony officials have attributed the limited supply to manufacturing glitches with blue laser diodes, the technological heart of the system's high-capacity, high-definition Blu-ray disk drive.

New Tech to Beat HD-DVD & Blu Ray?

New Tech to Beat HD-DVD & Blu Ray?

Hello there, lets discuss about the talks that the spread in the Internet. It says that there is a new technology called Rainbow Versatile Disc a.k.a RVD was developed by a student from Kerala, India. It says that this tech can beat or should i say a better technology and cheap compared to Blu Ray and HD-DVD. Actually, HD-DVD developed by Toshiba Corp. has capacity of 45GB and meanwhile Blu Ray which developed by Sony has capacity of 50GB. Now, lets roll back to our main point, as I stated before this technology developed by a student in Kerala, India and his name is Sainul the Indian Wiz Kid. This technology did not use optical disc (regular one) but using PAPER (back to ol'skool huh). The advantage of the technology other than the high capacity that one RVD provides between 90 to 450GB (or more depending on size of the paper)–the discs are manufactured from paper, which makes them more environmentally friendly, and also a whole lot lot cheaper. Besides that, a UK based company had meet this Sainul about manufacturing Rainbow Cards which will be about the size of a SIM card and hold up to 5GB of data. And interesting part of this, that UK based company said to be have a close ties with Microsoft company. Cool right? However, rumors spreads in Internet as well saying its a hoax. Its cannot be proven till we got some white papers about it, ain't folks :)

Vista : Security or Corporate Survival?


Vista : Security or Corporate Survival?

Well well, after more than 5 years of waiting finally Microsoft Vista is released. That is pretty impressive considering that a number of analyst actually expected more delays to the release especially with the possible legal challenges from Microsoft's security software rivals. Two of biggest security software vendors - Symantec and McAfee - are arguing that the security changes to Vista are impeding their products. Because of :


Vista's ability to protect its most fundamental code from cyber attacks
Vista block security software from accessing the core
Microsoft closed loophole to security software from access to the Windows kernel which controls the operating system's most basic functions (the vendors use that to access to detect and block rootkits, keystroke-logging software and worms)

Vista version 64-bit PCs will include technology called PatchGuard prevent kernel modification and also prevents third party security companies from getting inside the OS (Operating System)
Let see what will happen in the end. So, want stick to Windows XP or want change it to Windows Vista? ;p

Open registry editor by going to Start -> Run, and execute regedit.
Navigate to the following registry branch:

On the right pane, locate the registry key of LocalizedString.

Double click on LocalizedString or right click on LocalizedString and select Modify to modify the registry value.

You should see the default value of “@%SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll,-8964″. Delete or remove the default value and key in your desired new recycle bin’s name in text, e.g. “Garbage Bin” (without quote).

Refresh your desktop or Windows Explorer by pressing F5. You will see the new ‘recycle bin’ name.

Optionally, you can also modify the text of InfoTip, commonly known as tooltip what display certain help tip, guide or description about Recycle Bin when the mouse is hovering on Recycle Bin icon on desktop.

Internet Explorer 7 vs. Mozilla Firefox 2



Internet Explorer 7 vs. Mozilla Firefox 2

Sound interesting right after read the title. This survey was taken from download.com and done by 3 editors of CNET. They examine those browsers from several aspects and given the points.


1. Installation woes

Internet Explorer 7 (pts. 5)
Installation requires reboot, requires Windows validation & connection to Microsoft server.
Mozilla Firefox 2 (pts. 13)
Small size, installs in 30 seconds, no reboot, transfer every bookmark with no problem.

2. Look & Community

Internet Explorer 7 (pts. 13)
Bit slicker than Firefox, allots more space, true full screen window, tabs are clunkier, can add more search engine, most aspects copied from Firefox
Mozilla Firefox 2 (pts. 15)
Lots of cool ad-dons, each tab has its own close button.

3. Tabbed browsing

Internet Explorer 7 (pts. 11)
Thumbnail viewer, drag around tabs, save tabs.
Mozilla Firefox 2 (pts. 15)
Reload closed tabs, can fit many tabs, if Firefox crashes tabs still can recover

4. Security & Performance

Internet Explorer 7 (pts. 10)
Phishing filter, quickly erase tracks
Mozilla Firefox 2 (pts. 12)
Too easy reveal passwords, phishing filter, offer more customization from IE 7, Firefox's security reputation.

5. Cool New Features
Internet Explorer 7 (pts. 9)
RSS reading, zoom page.
Mozilla Firefox 2 (pts.11)
Provide better RSS reading than IE 7, spell checker, Session Saver (useful if you accidentally quit the browser)

Hence, in the end Mozilla Firefox won the battle between IE 7 with 64 over 47 points. So, better use Mozilla Firefox from now on because its more faster, simple and cool than IE 7 (my own opinion), because I using it most. HEHE.

Death of the Iraqi Tyrant


Mr. Hussein was executed for the killings of 148 men and boys in the northern town of Dujail in 1982.As Saddam’s hanging underscored, Iraqis are doing things their way. So maybe it’s time to get out of their way.As news of Saddam Hussein’s hanging spread through the Arab world, the execution proved just as profound for what it did not change as for what it did.From all we know of the preparations, Saddam’s death was a miserable and lonely one, as stark and undignified as Iraq’s new rulers could devise.

happy new year to everybody...!!!world peace to all..
