Well turns out there are other sizes of laptop hard drive other than the typical 2.5 Yes it call a ZIF drive 1.8 inch, normally use on ipod or other smaller portable music massive storage device. This ZIF drive is similar to a hard drive, it does spin, just that it’s smaller than a laptop hard drive. I came across this because I was fixing one of the small laptop and this laptop use it. I hate the cable connect to it, this cable ribbon is very sensitive and the clip on the ZIF hard drive can break easily, so don’t use too much force on it, take it easy and do it slowly, it’s very small and fragile. The cable ribbon for these ZIF drive looks durable but it’s not, too much wiggle around or bend too much, it will have a disconnect or break somewhere, basically circuit board.

Over the years I have tried many tablets then sold them all after a while. I have tried those cheap one such as the Cruzer R101, nice but heavy and slow and picture quality not that great, well it’s only $100 what you expect?. The other one was the MID china made, it has a ton of features but again, slow, and picture quality sucks, plus both of these previous device is not sensitive to the touch, you got to press it real hard and it hurt my finger, so sold them all. Then I got many iphones, it work best awesome small but sleek. Then I tried the ipad and HP touchpad, still have the HP Touchpad 32GB. Then I got the Sony model, it’s awesome. Then now finally I got the Kindle Fire, it has pretty small screen, a bit lighter than ipad, but Kindle Fire is as sleek as the ipad, love it, cheap $150 from ebay auction, like new, not totally new, the one I got just like new, it has original packaging. I’m planing to give to my wife or put games on it for kids to play when we’re on long drive, although I have like a bunch of TV monitors in the back of every seats in the van 🙂 like an airplane.

A long time ago, I was involve with a team of people doing remuxing, basically taking the high quality original HD videos and add Vietnamese audio translation to it, the audio is basically low quality from a video tape VHS, the high quality video was HD quality or so,  a lot better. Basically the team was in it for hobbies or hobby, they don’t sell or going public about it spreading where to download and stuff, they don’t do that, it’s basically a small group of people with hobbies being online chit chat and share whatever they have among themselves, none of them make money I bet, well I don’t either. Lately their original latest site was down due to the admin went to Vietnam or something like that I’m not sure, but they ask for my help to off course I help, it’s for fun making new friends or meeting old friends as new friends LOL.

Sold a bunch of high tech items on ebay

ebay ebucks is awesome similar to cash back on shopping with retail store or groceries

Yeah today was busy, busy with real work and side business, on top of that watching after my 3 years old. Man! talking about killing brain cells doing multi tasks. Anyhow I just sold a bunch of high tech items I bought through promotional rebate programs on techbargains website alert features, I set up the alert so that any items have good deal and rebate mail in rebate or so MIR, it will alert me and I will go in the site and look to see if it’s a hot seller on ebay and I buy it, then submit rebate and post ebay for sell. It’s a lot of fun and excitement plus adding a few dollars to my pocket but it’s a wash at the end of the month, because I use that money for gas and stuff plus maintaining my home server website 🙂 it’s all good. So far I have no problem with ebay, it’s also great because I get ebay ebucks and sometime good one if I tried like netflix, they will give me $15 ebucks for just trying out netflix 🙂

Mcdonald worker won the lottery and she won’t share with any of her co workers mega millions

maryland woman won lottery ticket won't share a penny and even hire a lawyer to defend her from her co workers
maryland woman won lottery ticket won't share a penny and even hire a lawyer to defend her from her co workers

What is up with the woman that won the mega millions dollars lottery ticket that won’t share a single penny to her co workers although they pitch in to buy it, she said that it’s her own separate ticket, even that, should be sharing few thousand each. “A Maryland McDonald’s employee who claims to have one of the winning tickets” If this is true she’s the latest mega millions $640 millions and she won’t share, that is so sad, if she get hit by a car and died or somehow died, I bet nobody care, well I guess I’m a little bit mean there. – If I win the lottery, I will give everyone I know few thousand each and I can give more if they needed truly needed, that is so greedy of the woman.

Koreans killing Korean people at a Christian University in Oakland California I used visit there all the time

dead bodies pile up at a Korean Christian university shooting by a 40s years old Korean man in custody April 2012
dead bodies pile up at a Korean Christian university shooting by a 40s years old Korean man in custody April 2012

Not too often I hear any big news about Koreans, especially violent one. Well, it happen today, front page of almost every news paper in the country, 7 dead 10 injured and Police might have the shooter in custody as of now. The thing special about this is that it happen to a Christian University, we’re talking about religious school, however other people goes there knew the shooter, they said he looks crazy all the time, and they just had him attending there to see how long he can hold up, but I guess he exploded today, starting shooting everybody he sees, again a religious Christian university, does this make you stop going to church or step away from your christian religion? I don’t know heheheheh, but what I can say is that, this could happen anywhere, anytime and to anybody! so take care of each other, treat them the way you want to be treated but keep your eye open, be suspicious, be cautious! ok peace!

Phu Quoc Island Vietnam near Cambodia and Thailand gulf vacation spot for tourist

phu quoc island vietnam best resort island away from the chinese
phu quoc island vietnam best resort island away from the chinese

I heard about Phu Quoc, an island from Vietnam, at least this island belong to Vietnam without any conflict, not like those other island Hoang Sa, it’s being stolen or in conflict with the Chinese, Philippines, Taiwan, and Indonesia. Anyhow, my friend, the one that just got engaged couple days ago, I believe he’s on his way to this island for the honey moon, enjoy it man! cause every time I visit vietnam I never really get to go to any resort, maybe because I didn’t want to go or on a budget or maybe it’s just too hot or afraid of the people or mosquitoes there. – Or maybe I just want to spend quality time with the family 🙂 NOT! OK so Phu Quoc, the way it’s pronounces in English could be bad “Phu” is like the F word ahahhaha. However this island appear to be for all tourist, it has airport which you would have to fly, best way to get there, I wouldn’t drive from the city and take a boat and probably it’ll be more fun, but yeah I would rather fly and hope plane don’t crash or pilot won’t try any jet fighter move hahah all Vietnamese pilot. If I look at the map of Southeast Asia, I’m really surprised that the Island belong to Vietnam, it’s pretty far from Vietnam, I guess neighboring countries sold it to Vietnam or Vietnam has better military and stole it :).  Wiki said “Phú Quốc (known as Koh Tral by Cambodians) is the largest island in Vietnam. The island is part of Kiên Giang Province, has a total area of 574 square kilometres (222 sq mi) and a permanent population of approximately 85,000[1]. The district of Phú Quốc includes the island proper and 21 smaller islets. The district seat, Dương Đông, is located on the west coast, and is also the largest town on the island. The economy is centered around fishing, agriculture and a fast-growing tourism sector; Phú Quốc being one of the most popular tourist destinations of Vietnam.”

Anyhow, my friend, enjoy your honeymoon there, there isn’t much time left for you in Vietnam, so enjoy it. Try to make baby, secure the deposit 🙂 hahahah, this guy probably still a virgin, and he’s over 30 years hahahah.

Asteroids heading towards earth can we predict it early enough? what if it will destroy portion of earth or the whole earth?

asteroid flyby hmed 957 many more coming towards earth are we prepared? and can we survive? we need to escape earth
asteroid flyby hmed 957 many more coming towards earth are we prepared? and can we survive? we need to escape earth

The latest news I just read. On March 30th NASA scientist predict an asteroids about the size of a private jet will fly by near earth, closer to the moon to be exact, and it will miss earth by April 1st 2012. It’s no prank although it’s April fools, it did flew by earth “The asteroid 2012 EG5 was closer than the moon when it flew by Earth at 5:32 a.m. EDT (0932 GMT)” This indicate and proof that we can only predict asteroids this size hitting earth just only 3 days? what if it heading towards earth and we can predict 3 days ahead of time? This is scary isn’t it? Although it’s the size of a private jet airplane but the damage could be global. I’m not a scientist, but aren’t there a lot more asteroids out there that are flying all over the place in all directions, and if we cannot predict it early enough to prepare or if the asteroids is to big prepare for survival, what will we do? what’s up with the 5 stars laser nuclear gun that we have in space? do we really have it? and has it been tested proving that it will work destroying any asteroids heading towards earth? and a more scary questions, are those asteroids like the one just flew by, asteroids? or is it a spaceship of some sort alien spacecraft in disguise?

Compaq nc6400 laptop with random freeze display strange shape

how to fix random freeze display booting laptop nc6400
how to fix random freeze display booting laptop nc6400

Well, I bought a laptop from ebay auction months ago, for less than $70, it’s a duo core, compaq also known as HP nc6400, it was listed as it is broken missing power adapter, no battery, no hard drive, but it did turn on and goes into bios but has problem displaying, but I bid for it anyways and won. So it’s been sitting for a while til I got the adapter and and hard drive total cost $20. I’ve been trying to get it work, with ubuntu, winxp, windows vista and windows 7, but no luck, sometime success install but freezed, sometime it won’t boot at all or stuck somewhere during installation. I thought the video card is the problem or motherboard, but I tried one last time with a different older operating system windows 98se, and this time I got different error message, it said something about the RAM memory, so I took one stick of RAM out and install win98se look like it work, and so I installed windows 7 and it work also, whoo hooo!!!!!!!! the art of trial and error 🙂
