CD & DVD Drive Disappearing from Computer

This is a good start to have your computer try to find your CD & DVD drive that all of a sudden disappeared.
I highly Do Not recommend anyone to do this.
But if you asked and wanted to know. Then this will be hopefully the fix to correct the missing problem. In most cases this tip works. In other cases it's a little more complicated.
Remember to back up your current windows registry settings before you begin and if anything goes wrong make sure you have a nearest technician to go to.
The down side about messing up and editing your windows registry is that you will have to re-format your computer again and loose whatever information you had on it.
If you have windows XP try system restore before doing the registry edit.

Lojack for Your Laptop

This software is worth having if your a laptop owner who hates people stealing other people's portable devices.
The software is activated when you report your laptop stolen.
Before someone is able to reformat your hard drive, it sends out a message to it's central station via net or dialup. The central station in turn notifies the police and the police follow the ISP to the original user where the laptop sent it's last information from. The crooks get nabbed and hopefully you get your laptop back.
So laptop thieves beware, this software is out there to get you.
Subscription fees are reasonable but worth the cost of loosing your valuable laptop.

Hope to see more of these phones popping up in the future.

How to make your Cordless Phone Last Longer

How to Make Your Battery Last Longer
Get the most juice from your cordless phone with these GH Institute tips.

Charge the battery completely as soon as you take your new phone out of the box. The first charge will probably take about 20 hours, but be sure to check the manual. And don't interrupt the charge ?- you could permanently shorten the battery life. When done correctly, the battery will last about two years.

Keep the phone away from heat. This includes a radiator, the oven and any sunny spots in your house. High temperatures contribute to battery wear and tear.

To help prolong rechargeable batteries, you should "condition" them on a regular basis ?- which means completely draining and recharging the batteries. First, figure out which type of battery your phone uses ?- it should be clearly visible on the label found in the owner's manual.

There are two types of batteries, and each requires a different approach: Nickel cadmium batteries have been around for awhile and use the designation NiCD. They should be completely drained and given a full charge cycle once a month.

Nickel metal hydride batteries are a newer generation and are identified with the designation NIMH. They need to be conditioned only once every three months.
Tip: The easiest way to fully discharge the battery is to wait for the power to run out before connecting the handset to the base station.

Got a dead battery? You can find a replacement at an electronics store for $10 to $30. If your phone is an older model, you may have to call the manufacturer.

What's the Big Deal on Zabra Search

The big deal about Zabra search is public domain. What happens is that if someone types a first and last name. They can easily find your address and telephone number.
Many people are upset about this because they feel like their privacy are violated.
Hello the telephone company has been doing this for years. If they are not going to get the information from the Zabra search site they are going to get this information from some where else. Go figure why they're upset, when this is been available for years, ever hear of 411 - information or the White Pages. Just because certain information in not given to the entire public does not mean they don't have access to it. Public domain is public domain.
I have a good example for you. Let's say you type in Bill Gates. Well Bill Gates is really William Gates. And guess what he's not on the listing. So what does that tell you. The information is only available for certain individuals.

The new 64 bit Series

If your not aware you now are that the reason for all the sudden price changes in current personal computers is because their are a new series of computers on the way which are the 64 bit computers.
What's the difference with current computer 32 bit and 64 bit computer?
Well for now it's not much a big difference because they hardly have any good software's out for 64 bit yet - just that your screen display will be quite smaller than usual when viewing icons. But eventually the personal computers today will look very different later on with software upgrades to 64 bit. For now save your money and wait until everything is finalized and settled.
If you want to jump on the band wagon and get a 64 bit personal computer now, beware. They have hardly any software that support 64 bit applications.
What that means is that you could have a new powerful personal computer with useless applications because the current 32 bit computers are hardly compatible to the new 64 bit PC's. So waiting is an economical choice.
Here are a few links for various support to 64 bit products:
Amd


Also if you have a current windows XP Pro computer and you are upgrading to 64 bit. Good news. Microsoft will let you upgrade your PC to 64 bit. But they're is no upgrade for user with Windows Home edition. Here is their link:

Microsoft AntiSpyware

I was advised a while back on Microsoft new AntiSpyware application. Even though its in BETA version its worth to check out and try. I hope Microsoft will incorporate this product in its operating system like most of the other products it already has.
It's pretty great. With Eraser tracks it can clear up your history on your computer so that no one can tell what you were doing on that personal computer. Pretty cool for a beta version.

Note: Per a blog article on 9/19 beware of this product. It apparently can damage your personal computer configurations. It removed Internet Explorer which the program considered as spyware. So even though it seems to be a good product I would suggest you keep an eye on it and wait until it comes out of beta version.
