too much worry and anxiety within me at this moment and am waiting to release all of these as soon as possible!

BINGO!!

exam day

well, i had an exam on network essentials. prior to exam, i was very much afraid and worried about the questions. having seen previous questions from earlier term, i was sure the questions would not be based on book. so when i had a look at the actual questions, they were more or less same to the past term questions. i did all the questions correctly as far as i know. all in all the first exam was a bingo!! now i have a network security exam this sunday (2day is thursday). it is one of the subject that has always made me curious. but when it comes to examinations, its always an altogether different thing. i am interested in the applications of this subject rather than the course contents. so this one is going to be a tough one for me as it consissts of the greatest course contents of all the three modules i am taking this term. the sorrows are not over yet. actually this subject's ebook is zipped in a software called chilkat zip 2 secure which doesnt allow to copy-paste text, neither does it allow print-screen facility. so i need to learn this entire subject in front of my laptop. what a great sorrow. my eyes are definitely going to worsen!!
all the very best to me!

my first laptop

Hello! Congratulations to me! I’ve got a very new laptop for myself and this is the first one! Its an MSI S300 core 2 duo 2.0 GHz 1 GB RAM.
I rather chose with the new model instead of the brand new models already available in the market such as Compaq, Acer, Lenovo, Dell. I’ve heard from different with sources that these models do not offer much support after the sales and the spares are not readily available. So I opted for this new brand such as MSI which is equal in performance and cheaper in cost.
Anyways, 3 cheers to me for this! this is so exciting.

Firefox Speedens

Firefox 3.0 Beta 4, which Mozilla released late Monday, has been put through its paces by users and bloggers, some of whom have published the results of head-to-head benchmark tests between Firefox, Opera, Apple Inc.'s Safari and Microsoft Corp.'s Internet Explorer. According to Percy Cabello, who posted his results on the Mozilla Links blog, Firefox 3.0 Beta 4 is 53% faster than Opera 9.5 beta, twice as fast as Apple Inc.'s Safari and three times faster than Microsoft Corp.'s IE7 on the SunSpider benchmark, which tests JavaScript performance.

"There are lots of ways to 'game' the system [in benchmarks], but what we're trying to do is speed up the things that enable people to run the really heavy-duty applications on the Web."
Saying that a browser is a browser is a browser when rendering basic Web pages, Schroepfer added that the challenge Mozilla took on was how to build a browser that performs well when asked to run much more complex Web 2.0-esque applications, such as Yahoo's Zimbra, the online collaboration and document suite.

Gates dethroned as world's wealthiest

You knew this was going to happen eventually--Bill Gates prepares to step away from full-time work at Microsoft and suddenly he is on the slippery slope to the poor house.

Well, maybe not the poor house, but he has lost his position as the world's richest man, a title he'd held since 1995. The new world's richest man is Gates' friend and investment mogul Warren Buffett, according to Forbes magazine's annual ranking of the world's wealthiest people, which was released Wednesday. The magazine estimated Buffett's worth at $62 billion, and Gates' fortune not too far behind at $58 billion. But that doesn't mean he only slipped one notch: Carlos Slim, a Mexican telecoms tycoon, came in second with an estimated worth of $60 billion.

VISTA finally loosens money

Microsoft finally is cutting down the prices of some retail versions of Vista effective only when it releases sp1 versions later this year. This is very exciting as this was totally unexpected. Vista's Ulmtimate will now only cost you $319 from earlier $399, this means a decrement of 80 raw dollars!! Whereas if you are seeking for a upgrade, it will only cost you $219 instead of $259.

Similarly, Microsoft has announced some cut off in other versions of vista as well such as Home Premium. Home users with XP installed on their machine will find this stuff pricey, they can finally now upgrade to VISTA!


But the bottom line is what actually is motivitaing Microsoft to cut prices? Is it the public demand or something else?? This remains a question...
