Filmed this clip at my friend Anna’s apartment. She has no aircon in her main room, so it was hot in there. But we made a fun little vid.

Take care of your laptop battery and ensure that it will be ready to work properly when you need it most. Some general tips for laptop care include: avoid extreme temperatures, don’t leave a laptop outside in cold weather or leave it in a hot car. Cold ACER laptop battery can’t create very much power and hot batteries will discharge very quickly. Use electrical power when available to keep ACER laptop battery charged. Don’t let your laptop go for long periods of time without using the ACER laptop battery.
Here are some basic using method:
1. Smaller Is Better
Consider an ultraportable or thin-and-light rather than a desktop replacement laptop. Smaller ACER laptop battery displays use less power. Going with a hard drive that runs at 4200rpm uses less power than a hard drive running at 5400rpm.
2. Power Control
Use as little power as possible by adjusting laptop settings. Use the Power Options to set to the laptop to go inactive after a set amount of time. Set adjustments so that the display goes off first, then hard the hard drive stay active a bit longer and store the system contents to the RAM.

Jv16 PowerTools 2009 – The Freeware Software of the Day

If you haven’t heard of jv16 PowerTools 2009, well… don’t beat yourself up. The software just hit the market. What’s so special about it then? First of all its freeware, secondly the company behind it is actually pretty good at cleaning Windows and fixing registry errors. They are called Macecraft and they are behind the jv16 PowerTools 2009, which for the last few years has become quite a brand. PowerTools Lite is actually a variation of jv16 PowerTools, as it uses the same engine and techniques to clean up the mess from your computer.

The thing you will love and hate most, at the same time, is the simplicity of the design. After the program launches and quickly scans over your PC, you are faced with literally only 2 buttons. One to scan and fix the errors, the other to undo the changes (restore backup). That’s it. Compare it with the tens of specialized tools that jv16 PowerTools (the commercial version) has and I’m sure that you’ll understand why the latter is not a freeware.

After the scan is finished though, things do get a bit more complicated. The errors found are nicely arranged in categories and you have the option to fix each of them individually, by category or as a whole. But that’s just the beginning. If you go to an individual error, you will see what degree of severity it has and if you right click any of them, you will be presented with a quite impressive array of options. On top of this, you will also find a search feature which if you really begin to work with, will tend to let you speechless. Seriously now, what other programs give you the option to search with a Perl query or using artificial intelligence.

Once you click the “Fix” button you will also be prompted to back up the changes you make. I strongly recommend that you use this feature. Messing with the registry can have serious consequences and although the engine behind PowerTools Lite is one of the better ones found on the market, it’s still a sensible thing to prepare for the worst.

To be honest, the software does offer an extended interface, which will give you more options before you start the scan, but the basic functionality is aimed strictly at cleaning junk files and fixing registry errors.

Speaking of the back-up feature, the software also has a neat interface to manage them, which you will surely appreciate if you are the type that likes to keep a tight lid over this sort of things.

Purchasing a Cheap Playstation 2: Tips

Before purchasing any type of electronic or product, online or offline, you will want to ensure you are getting something of quality, in working condition and at an affordable price, all that the same time. The following tips, will help you understand how to get all of that in your next cheap Playstation 2.

1.When you are considering purchasing on internet auction sites, such as the ones listed in this article, you need to be sure that you are only buying from reputable sellers who have a high positive feedback rating. You should always avoid auctions with sellers that have very little if any positive feedback or have a lot of negative feedback. If their profile shows a bad feedback rating, it should be a warning to you to find another seller.

2.Be sure that you choose a business or seller that will exchange or give a refund on your PS2 if you are unsatisfied with it for any reason. If they do not offer either one or a warranty, you need to find another seller. All of these are indications that your system will arrive in non-working order or will only last a short while.

3.If you choose to use a major company to purchase a cheap Playstation 2, such as Electronic Boutique (Ebgames.com), you will want to be sure that they have tested each system thoroughly. Electronic Boutique tests and repairs all gaming systems prior to selling them through their internet web site or their stores.

4.If feasible, take the unit for a test drive yourself, prior to purchasing it. Ask the business if they would hook the system up to their television and allow you to test the console. Take this advice to heart, from our experience, when we went to a pawnshop and purchased a PS2. Pawnshops usually test all electronics before paying for them, however, not this time. Our system will not shut off the way it should, we have to press the switch on the back of the console in order to shut it off. So, be sure to test the cheap Playstation 2 before you pay your hard-earned money for it.
