Increasing the Mouse Pointer Speed

Increasing the Mouse Pointer Speed on Windows
By default, the Windows mouse pointer speed set at the average speed. Although adequate, this can sometimes slow the time when we need to move the cursor to different areas of the screen. Increasing the pointer speed will make you more quickly clicking on the computer more efficiently without the need many hands.

The way to do this, click Start> Settings> Control Panel> Mouse. On the Pointer Options tab, in the Motion, move the slider 1 to 5 steps to the option “Fast”. Then check on the “Enhance pointer Precision” and click OK. Should, now you can move the mouse pointer without having to physically move the mouse a lot of you.
There is no certainty that the settings for this option. Because the use of your computer, the speed of movement of the mouse pointer will not necessarily match the settings used by other people. A clear, common mouse that are cheap or worn-out mouse that has already a limited level of responsiveness. If the mouse pointer speed is not much effect, it means it’s time to change the mouse.

The Best and Fastest Web Browser for PC

We will doing some test on available web browsers to know who is the Best Web Browser right now.

Chrome was counted as the first-place finisher for the Acid3 test, while Opera and Safari were both tallied as second. Firefox was counted as third. Fourth place was skipped, and Internet Explorer was counted as fifth, due to it’s utterly terrible score on that test. The SilverLight test was also a tie. This time, IE and Firefox were both counted as first place finishers. Second was given to Opera and third was skipped. Since Safari received a score almost half that of Opera, it was counted as a fourth-place finish. Chrome was given fifth. We also counted Opera’s sketchy first-place finish in the Mozilla Dromaeo JavaScript Test, despite having experienced errors causing it to not complete a portion of the test. If we did not, Chrome would have had an even greater victory.

	Chrome	Opera	Safari	Firefox	Internet Explorer
1st	7	7	5	4	2
2nd	9	5	4	5	3
3rd	2	6	12	4	3
4th	4	3	2	10	3
5th	3	4	2	2	14

As you can see, Google Chrome comes out on top. Although it tied with Opera for the most wins by racking up the highest number of second-place finishes, Chrome manages to take the win.
Considering that Safari has gone so long without a major new version, yet still placed so well, we cannot wait to see what’s next from One Infinite Loop.
Mozilla, on the other hand, is a different story. Though I do believe that version 3.6 did bring a significant improvement over 3.5.x, it simply wasn’t enough to compete. Since Mozilla’s latest offering is only a little over one month old, its placing in our Grand Prix is disappointing, to say the least.
This brings us to Internet Explorer, Destroyer of Netscape Navigator. The browser from Redmond finished last no less than fourteen times (more than half of the tests). Internet Explorer’s performance here is nothing less than sad.
Now, before someone cries foul about the over-saturation of JavaScript tests, I have also tallied the wins by category. The three startup time tests are counted as one. We’ve also counted the three memory usage tests as one category. Our five page load time tests, as well as the NonTroppo benchmark are counted just once, too. The table below shows the winners by category.

Category / Test	Overall Winner
Startup Times	Opera
Memory Usage	Firefox
Page Load Times	Firefox
HTML	Safari
CSS	Safari
Tables	Safari
JavaScript	Chrome
PeaceKeeper	Opera
Acid3	Chrome
DOM	Chrome
Flash	Opera
Java	Opera
SilverLight	Firefox / Internet Explorer

This table only displays the winners, rather than the previous table’s full placing results. While it may appear that Opera had a better showing than Chrome, it does not reflect how many times that browser was edged out by Chrome when neither placed first. It also does not show that Safari remained smack in the middle throughout or that Firefox had a stranglehold on fourth.

Any way you want to analyze the data, Google’s Chrome comes out on top. That’s why we’re not only calling Chrome the winner of our Web Browser Grand Prix, but we’re also awarding it the Best of Tom’s Hardware Award–the first time we’ve given such an honor to a software product. If you haven’t yet downloaded Google Chrome, you just don’t know what you’re missing.

These benchmarks give us a pretty good picture of which browser is the fastest. What these benchmarks do not reveal is the usability (or overall end-user experience) of these browsers. The staggering number of customization options available for Firefox, or the almost constant (and insufferably bothersome) prompting in Internet Explorer are just two examples of what cannot be benchmarked. Security is also a major concern, and something that was not tested for this article. We focused purely on speed and performance, and in those fields, Google Chrome takes the gold…at least in this round of the raging browser wars.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 is very very good

NVIDIA just released their latest video card.
This card uses redesigned GF 100 chip that used on GTX 480, the new GF 110 GPU. NVIDIA had listened to people who complain about super power hungry and very hot temperature in their GTX 480.
GeForce GTX 580 will be the next NVIDIA flagship on high end video cards.

On performance, there is an improvement of 20% to GTX 480, makes it the fastest single GPU card in the planet (12/11/2010). In some DirectX 11 games, it even beats AMD dual GPU card HD 5970.

How to make a Wajanbolic, an Antenna made from Frying Pan

Wajanbolic is a term which very popular in Indonesia i think. Wajanbolic named after Wajan and bolic.

• Wajan : frying pan, kitchen tools for cooking
• Bolic : parabolic
• WajanBolic : a parabolic antenna-made from the pan

MATERIALS

1. Pan, diameter 36 “(the bigger diameter is better )
2. Thin PVC pipe with diameter, 3 “1-meter
3. Doff 3 “(PVC pipe cap) 2 pieces
4. Aluminum foil
5. Nut bolt 12 or 14 size
6. N Female Connector
7. Rule 3 copper wire
8. Double tape duct tape
EQUIPMENT
1. Ruler
2. Knife / Cutter
3. Solder tin his
4. Hacksaw
ESTIMATED COST
Estimated cost incurred to buy the materials for WajanBolic is less than USD $10-. Compare when you have to buy24db Grid Antenna, the local homemade alone reached USD $50 to hundreds.
STAGES
1. Prepare all ingredients and equipment needed.
2. Punch a hole right in the middle of frying pan the size of a bolt 12 or 14, just one hole only.
Then, measuries diameter of pan, deep skillet and feeder / focus point. For more details please see his picture below.

Example:
Parabolic dish dg D = 70 cm, d = 20 cm so that the distance from the center focus point dish: F = D ^ 2 / (16 * d) = 70 ^ 2 / (16 * 20) = 15.3 cm
At the focus point mounted an edge feeder. To get the maximum gain.
1. Cut the PVC pipe with 30 cm width, then mark for its feeder distance (foil-free areas). In order to determine its long-feeders use the formula above.
2. Give hole in the pipe to put N Connector, for that use antennas formula cans. You can visit http://www.saunalahti.fi/elepal/antenna2calc.php
3. Cut the copper wire that had been prepared in accordance with the size of the calculation results obtained from the website above. Solder it on N Connector that has been prepared.
4. Next, wrap PVC pipe with aluminum foil on the area in except the feeder.
5. Attach the N connector to the PVC that has been hollowed.
6. In doff (PVC pipe cap) which will be installed on the tip near the N Connector must be given aluminum foil, while the doff of the pairs in the pan does not need to be given the aluminum foil
7. And attach the doff to the PVC pipe
8. Then, attach the other doff with other pan that has been holed once again, before that hole the doff sized with bolt that already prepared, and tighten it.
9. Then attach PVC pipe lives into a pan with doff attached.
10. And WajanBolic is ready for use for browsing, or at least for wardriving.

but i suggest to buy wajanbolic :D because it is very complicated if we try to make it.hehe

See Ya :)
