Things I Hate on a Website
So I'm on a website and I click on a link
and the browser opens that link on the same page
But when I hit the 'Back' button on the browser.
It wouldn't go back to the initial website !!!
It keeps going back to that link page
It's so bloody annoying !!!!!
then I have to retype the url to go back to the initial website.
uuggghhhh :(
Another thing is
I understand about disabling right click to protect copyright.
But when I try to right click to "open page in a new tab"
and it wouldn't let me and there's a pop up msg that says "copyright bla bla bla"
That is also extremely annoying........
Now I can only have 1 page open from that website.
ugghhh.....
I think you can actually enable the right click on those websites
I'll post here when I find it.

How to get a cheaper price when buying online ?
So you wanna buy anything online.
domain names, webhostings, posters, etc etc.
Before you click "buy"
Go search for coupons on the internet
google it.....
It's everywhere.
You could get $1 discount up to 25% off the listed price, even more.
So.... remember to search for coupons :)
If you already knew it.... then good for you.
But I didn't at first !!
Had somebody told me about it, I would've saved ... err.... $2 ?
hahoahroiahreaur :D
So... even if you don't think that certain company won't have coupons.
Just go search for it first, who knows :)

TIPS on Buying a NEW LAPTOP / NOTEBOOK COMPUTERS
1. Choose your brand wisely...
Usually the business line are more durable, I think.
and the cheaper ones usually don't have a Windows operating system, so you'd have to buy it.
It's better to pay more and get a higher quality computer/laptop.
Make sure they have a good Tech support/Service center.
2. If you go to the shop, make sure you
Check all the hardware (no scratches, no dents, etc.)
Tests all the function (dvd writer, camera, wireless lan, etc etc)
Check all the spec, the free upgrade might not be there if they forgot !!!
and after that, Check all the warranty stickers , if they've upgraded your computer/laptop, they might forgot to re-stick the sticker, so your computer won't be under warranty 3 months from now when something's wrong.
Yes it may take a while, but I don't care, I'm not driving 1 hour of crazy traffic to go back to the store.
3. If you order your Laptop online, make sure they have a good exchange/refund policy.
and make sure the specs on the website are accurate.
4. If you also purchase an original genuine operating system (windows)
You may ask them to install it for you.
Let them know your file system preference. NTFS or FAT32
(I now use NTFS, they say it's better and can handle bigger files)
and Remember to also let them know how many partitions you want in your harddisk.
C: 50Gb, D: 100Gb, E: 100Gb, etc etc
5. Don't buy on a Friday, coz you can't call them the next day if there's any problems.
(unless it's a 24/7 forever open store, then it's fine)
6. What do you need it for ?
If you're gonna be on the road often.... choose a light one.
But if you're going to use it as a Desktop Replacement, weight is no problem and placements is important !!!
Placements of the USB slots, cable modem slot, headphone jack, etc etc
Just make sure they don't interfere with your mouse, and your hands.
7. What stuff do you need ?
- I think you need at minimum 3 USB slots.
- Bluetooth, Wireless Lan, DVD Writer, etc etc the basics....
- Big RAM,
- Big Harddisk
- Fast Core2Duo or Quadcore
- Good Graphics, especially if you need it for Designing / Gaming.
- Good Battery Life, I always use the power adaptor anyway, so it's not really that big a deal, most of the time.
- Glossy or matte screen ? it's up to you.
I prefer matte screen, but glossy seems to be on everything now.
hmmm what else ??
I think that's about it for now :)
Happy Hunting !!

Fujitsu S6510b Laptop Review
This post is long overdue ;p hohohoho
But.....
After researching and researching all kinds of available brands,
(Acer, Compaq, HP, Asus, Mac, etc)
After reading all those comments in forums
After a lot of staying up late overthinking what laptop I should get
(I know.... everyone thinks I overthink things)
I've decided to go with Fujitsu.
Fujitsu has a reputation of making a good quality laptop
(so I read and heard)
Plus it's made in Japan, although the adaptor is made in Indonesia.
but it's all good.
So... I bought the laptop and will see whether or not the reputation is true.
Fujitsu S6510b
Specs :
Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor T8300 (2.40GHz, 3MB L2 cache, 800MHz)
1 Gb RAM + 1 Gb RAM free upgrade.
250 Gb
Graphics Media Accelerator X3100
14.1" WXGA , LED screen, glossy
all others are Bluetooth, Wireless LAN, 1.3 mp camera, DVD writer, etc etc.
Software : Windows XP
Service Pack 2
I'm so scared downloading SP3 will mess everything, so I haven't
Pros:
- It's a Fujitsu, made in Japan... yea I'm still mesmerized by "made in Japan"
although parts are not entirely made in Japan.
- It has Windows XP (downgrade option)
when other laptop manufacturers don't have the downgrade to XP option,
Fujitsu still offers downgrade to XP, though not perfect.
- Nice useable trackpad
- It's very light... only 1.7 kg ? I never weigh it, that's what it says on the website ;p
Cons :
- the Keyboard is kinda wobbly when you type.
But functions well.
- It'd be better if the adaptor has a light indicator.
- the (removeable and very light) DVD+RW looks very fragile and needs a base support (table) when in use.
- since it's not meant for a desktop replacement,
the placement of the USB slots, 56k modem slot, placed on the right hand side, is kinda in the way when using a mouse.
- I honestly prefer a matte screen.
glossy screens is not so comfortable because of the glare, though I've kinda gotten used to it by now.
I said kinda.
- LED screen
gives a slight whitish shine on top and the bottom of the screen,
but after a while, you don't really care about it anymore.
Cons caused by problems :
- Tech support/Service center people not very accurate/helpful, although very friendly.
they say the laptop gets Norman Security Suite (Anti Virus & Personal Firewall)
(they even fax me that info and I called them up and ask them in person about it and they still confirm it)
but I only got the Norman Virus control CD
and the sales guy later said he printed the spec out of the web and fax it to me, so the data is not really accurate.....huh what ? whatever....
- After the free 1Gb RAM update, they forgot to stick the warranty sticker, so I had to return there.
- they didn't find a solution to fix my Omnipass-slow XP problem,
the stoopid sales guy said it's normal to have a slow startup after downgrading and it's gonna be normal on the next start up, I believed him, but it gets worse !!!
It takes up to 1 min 57 seconds to turn on the Laptop, and I haven't installed any programs whatsoever.
so I got back to the service center and they fiddled with it for half a day, including downloading the newest Omnipass driver, but still couldn't fix the problem, they uninstalled the Omnipass which seems to "solve" the problem.
What Fujitsu ? you offer an XP downgrade but mess it up.
and you don't have the NEWEST drivers in your Service Center ?? Aren't you responsible for providing customers with the newest drivers ???
I now have a useless fingerprint sensor,
It's supposed to be able to be used as a scroll function, but mine can't ,so I d/l the correct driver from Fujitsu website and it now can be used to scroll up and down, but it's just annoyingly not precise. I'd prefer a scroll up and down button please.
- they use S6410 driver for my S6510 laptop, but hey it works for most of it.
I don't think they have an accurate up-to-date drivers in their Service Center/Tech support center.
- when I use IE and click on the menu, plus when I go to Fujitsu Lifebook application panel,
weird message display about Quicktouch.exe and CPLKicker.exe, but after clicking yes, there seems to be no problem, I don't use that menu anyway... so I just ignore it.
And No.... the Fujitsu Tech guy didn't resolve that problem either.
- When you downgrade to Windows XP, They don't give you the original XP CD.
that only applies in USA, apparently.
So if anything should happen, *knock on wood* I can bring it to the service center and let them re-install Windows XP.
To think about it, now after almost 6 months owning this Fujitsu S6510 laptop,
The Tech support people are really not helpful at all, though they are nice people and they did try to resolve the problem, just unsuccesfully.
but then again... it is one Service center, so it doesn't really reflect Fujitsu's quality.
and it's probably just my laptop, they told me there are no other similar problems with other people who's purchased the S6510, but they could just be LYING.
Ohh I'm being so nice, I should just refunded the laptop, but hey... I don't think they have a refund policy here, besides I need a laptop to work.
But... so far.... the Fujitsu S6510 has been useful and works well.
If you compare it to other people complaining on the web about their laptops, mine works really well up to now.
Will I buy another Fujitsu ?
I might, but I prefer not to downgrade or upgrade the software.
I'll just stick with whatever software's included so everything's not messed up.
But then again... I don't really want Vista.
So I might get a Macbook next....
But I don't wanna re-learn everything...
Oh...we'll see.
Hopefully my Fujitsu S6510 lasts a long time :)
