Dell Studio Hybrid Desktop

Dell Studio Hybrid Desktop are new small form factor desktop CPU release by Dell. It had small stylish design with color choice, ultra compact using Intel mobile technology, and Dell’s greenest consumer desktop. However, the price is a bit costly with the cheapest you can get is RM 2,899. At this price range, perhaps we can get a laptop about the same price. But for some people will prefer to go for desktop. The designs were nice and come with variety color, just like Dell Studio laptop and Dell Inspiron laptop. Suitable for a good display and space saving. Such a small and concept design CPU will be a nice appearance if place on top of table suit from home to office. However, don't demand too much on advance gaming and graphic application for this hybrid desktop as the graphic card were only Intel® Integrated Graphics Media Accelerator 3100. As for office and home application, it is still more than enough. As for space saving, it could be the best among desktop. More info: Dell S

Below is the size of a Intel Atom processor. In a nutshell, the netbooks and nettops are basically designed for Internet content consumption, that's it. A typical Intel Atom netbook includes the N270 Atom processor at 1.6GHz together with the Mobile Intel 945GSE Express chipset, a 7"-10" screen, 802.11b/g WLAN, a mini keyboard, 400MHz or 566MHz memory, 256-512Mb of RAM, 2-4GB of flash based storage and a lightweight Operating System such as Linux or MS XP Home.

Online advertising

Image
If people ask, why people will advertise on certain website? Of course database is the most important issue.. More people in the database, people willing to pay for advertising. Why must the database had to be so large? How much the advertiser pay? Can really advertising earn? If you refer to Lowyat advertising page or Malaysiakini advertising, you will realize the earning prospect. Eg, Malaysiakini site, each banner is cost about from RM50 to RM500. Note, the cost is not per month, the advertising fees RM500 is per day. Minimum subscription is 7 days which equals to RM3500 per week. Didn’t count others column yet. Therefore, imagine how much did Malaysiakini earn only on advertising. I guess this is one of the answer. Database. Reference

No matter what type of opportunity, grab it and give a great commitment. A great commitment is always the best. No matter what a person do, he must not fail him self and must not give up.

Bidding

Razor Ramon

This Japanese comedian Sumitani Masaki, otherwise known as Hard Gay or Razor Ramon HG participate in this "Gaki no tsukai, one of a series of 笑ってはいけないハイスクール(Waratte-ha-ikenai-high-school)". Razor Ramon HG is a character made by Sumitani Masaki in 2002, although he became popular in 2005 after being featured on national television. Most fans call him Hard Gay or just HG, and know him for his Village People-styled clothing, hip-thrusting and grinding. He also has a trademark yell, "FOOOOOO!" While he may look obscene to some, HG's act is all about helping the public. For example, there was an acoustic street performer. Nobody was really listening to him, so HG started running around and yelling "FOOO!" and what good music it was and did several hip-thrusts. Needless to say, it didn't get the performer much of an audience...but it produced tons of laughs from audiences at home. His acts have begun to affect pop culture, with character
