If your laptop battery doesn’t last the way it used to. There are some simple steps to do before purchasing or replacing it with a new one.

1. Check if your notebook has a BIOS battery calibration feature.

2. Adjust your display’s brightness and contrast.

Floppy disk invented by IBM have now been largely superseded by flash drive these days as more PCs are removing the floppy drive support on their computer packages and now switching to a more reliable USB media devices. To mention some pros in using USB flash disk instead of the old floppy disk are:

1. Capacity – USB flash drives have larger storage (ranging from 64 MB to 256 GB or more) space than the 1.44MB FDD.
2. Speed – USB drives operates faster by reading up to 30mb per second and write about half of its reading speed.

Finally, I have my own Wordpress blog hosted in the most widely used domain and web hosting by most blogger I know. This is made possible by Dreamhost who gave me this Free Web hosting with Unlimited Bandwidth and Unlimited Space plus a Domain of my own choosing for 2 years.

I have been planning to buy a Dreamhost account but fortunately I can give it a road test first before I start paying their domain and hosting services. If I would pay for this free web host and domain for 2 years it would cost me more than $200, well I don’t have to pay that a lot of money for now that’s why it free!
