Opera Internet Browser

What is internet browser? Internet browser is one of the internet application that enable us to view internet website. You should be clear that there are many internet application besides internet browser such as Chatting Application (Yahoo messenger, MSN messenger), File transfer protocol (ftp), Voice over Internet Phone (VoIP) and others. However, the internet application that is important to use the internet service is internet browser.

There are a lot of internet browser such as Internet explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome. Internet browser that I usually used is Mozilla firefox. However, Opera is my second internet browser and sometimes I'm more comfortable using Opera than Mozilla Firefox.

There is three reasons why I used opera:

1) Speed Dial in Opera

This function made me easier to manage my website that i have to visit everyday. Just click at one of the box, then it will direct you to your desired website.

2) "Duplicate Tab" function

The duplicate tab enable me to duplicate the existing tab and the tab will have the same history as the original tab. I usually use this function when i'm online shopping or using the search engine.

3) View file transfer in another tab

Opera view the file transfer in another tab which is more easier and manageable compare to Mozilla Firefox which a pop-up windows will appear during the downloading task.

Opera also has widget that enable user to customize their browser (similar to "add-on" function in firefox). However, there is still one function is not available compared to the Mozilla Firefox which is "private browsing" function. Hope Opera will add this function for the next version. The latest release for Opera is "Opera 10.0 with turbo". It is totally free and you can download it in Opera official website: http://www.opera.com

Try it! You will love it...

P/s : I'm going to review the Opera 10.0 with turbo in my next post

Do you have a problem with your windows that suddenly show the Blue Screen?

Do you have a problem with your windows that suddenly show the Blue Screen? The Blue screen is called as Blue Screen of Death (also known as a stop error, BSoD, bluescreen, or Blue Screen of Doom) is a colloquialism used for the error screen displayed by some operating systems, most notably Microsoft Windows, after encountering a critical system error which can cause the system to shut down to prevent damage.The example of BSoD is like below:

According to Microsoft, bluescreens on Windows9x systems are usually caused incompatible DLLs or bugs in the kernel of the operating system. They can also be caused by physical faults such as faulty memory, power supplies, overheating of computer components, or hardware running beyond its specification limits. What is the solution if you want to prevent the Blue Screen of Death appear on your computer?

You need to install this recommended software called BlueScreenView (BSV). BSV opens, displays, and interprets the data saved in minidump (*.dmp) files which are usually found in C:\Windows\Minidump after a BSOD. You must have Windows set to save a "small memory dump" which may be done in for My Computer\Properties\Advanced\Startup and Recovery\Settings in XP for instance. In XP, this is generally the default behavior.

This little utility has found a home in my toolkit. I don't see as many BSODs as I used to, but when I do, BlueScreenView makes it a snap to see the dump info. Stay stable, my friends.

Online Storage for you

I'm a student who has a lot of assignment and thesis to be completed. Of course we are going to use computer to complete all of the assignment and thesis. I wonder if anyone is still using typewriter nowadays to complete their work. The risk using computer is your file is infected with virus or corrupted. So, we need to backup our important work unless you are hardworking enough to start your work from zero.

What I did to backup my file is using the other storage other than the hard disk in my computer? Here is some suggestion:

1. Using thumdrive/flashdrive
It is really cheap nowadays, a few years back, my first 128 Mb thumbdrive cost me about RM98. Today, 2 Gb thumbdrive only cost you RM20.

2. Using DVD-R
You can store your file permanently up to 4.7Gb using one blank DVD-R.

3. Using e-mail storage
I have many email accounts and I always attach my important work to my another email.

4. Using Free Online Storage
There are many online storage available. One of them that I used is http://www.freedrive.com



You can get 1 Gb online storage using the freedrive.com. What makes me want to use freedrive.com is because it is user friendly and you can categorize your file to private, group or public. You can share your file is you save your file in group and public category.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is hoping that the "Great California Garage Sale" will turn government clutter like surplus prison uniforms and office furniture into cash to bulk up the state's depleted finances.

On offer as the state clears out clutter are nearly 600 state-owned vehicles and thousands of pieces of office furniture, computers, electronics, jewelry, pianos, even a surf board, a food saver and an Xbox 360 gaming system.

State officials estimate the giant two-day yard sale being held at a state warehouse will bring in hundreds of thousands of dollars. In addition to clearing out office products, the state is also selling unclaimed property from state parks and items confiscated by law enforcement, said California Department of General Services spokesman Eric Lamoureux. The prison department contributed dental chairs and surplus prison shirts and jeans.

"This is a win-win for the state and for shoppers," Schwarzenegger said in a statement Tuesday announcing that a selection of items also would be sold on eBay and Craigslist. "Together we are eliminating waste and providing great deals in this tough economy."
