Friendster Users Losing Contacts After Friendster System Overhaul

November 20, 2008 · Filed Under Friendster · 2 Comments 

Friendster conducted a system overhaul last week and Friendster users have lost their contacts during the Friendster overhaul. I myself have lost some contacts in my account and this is really pissing me off. I am maintaining different contacts at Friendster along with contacts in Facebook and MySpace because I have different sets of friends who are located in different regions.

Friendster spams are also common. Many have complained seeing naked girls in their accounts sending them unsolicited emails. These are just some stupid things people do on Friendster and it’s not healthy for the community.

Latest iMac Review of Prices, Features and Full Specifications

November 18, 2008 · Filed Under Laptops/Notebooks · 2 Comments 

Latest iMac prices, features and full specificationsI was informed earlier today of the latest iMac. Features and full specifications are impressive at first look. The latest iMac is powered by an Intel Core 2 Duo 3.06GHz processor with advanced 45-nm process technology and 6MB of shared L2 cache, the latest iMac promises great speed for desktop and web applications. The prices of iMacs start at $1,199 (shipping and other accessories not included). On the other hand, the Macbook laptops sell at $999 and the Macbook Pro units sell at $1999. These two laptops/notebooks are the latest addition to the Apple store.

As for the iMac (which is currently being advertised as the perfect gift for Christmas), I’d have to agree that the iMac has a considerable price. Its price, in my assessment, commensurates its features. Apple really put up something together in iMac to increase sales this Holiday Seasons. :-)

Windows 7 or Linux Ubuntu 8.10: Which is Faster After Windows 7 Tested Slow?

November 15, 2008 · Filed Under Windows · Comment 

Windows 7 was recently tested and it was found out that Windows 7 is not that fast (contrary to Microsoft’s hope that it will be faster than Windows Vista). This result was based on benchmark tests conducted by several beta testers of Windows 7. This begs the question “Which is faster between Windows 7 and Linux Ubuntu 8.10?” I even questioned in my article if Windows 7 is just an upgraded Windows Vista and testers confirmed that it actually was after testing.

On the other hand, Linux Ubuntu 8.10 is the latest Linux distro which I have tested myself and I really find the new Linux Ubuntu 8.10 very fast using my Lenovo G410 laptop. Windows 7 has yet to be tested by this author. Since the Windows 7 released by Microsoft for testing is still in the Beta stage, I might as well wait for the version up for public release in mid-2009 (Windows 7’s release date). For now, I will stick with Windows Vista and Linux Ubuntu 8.10 as my operating systems for my notebook.

I only hope that Microsoft can still come up with solutions to perceived speed problems and the Vista “look and feel” of Windows 7 before the release date. With Microsoft’s resources, I’m sure they’ll find ways to address the weaknesses of Windows 7 Beta. ;-)
