I heard there will be protest in KLCC today. I have been looking out my office window. Hmm.. nothing seemed to be happening yet. I just hope I can go back peacefully home later at five. Riding a bike while going through tear gas and water canon doesn’t seem to be what my bike is made for..

I heard it’s about some price increase for important items. Due to inflation, so many folks are getting migraine over this kind of stuff. Well it shows that our Malaysian people are more open in expressing their views.

Does anyone of you here had an ‘old’ laptop whose batteries can’t even last 10 minutes? Well, instead of playing with it by tossing it into an open flame to see what happens or throwing it in the dumpster where it’s ecologically not helpful, why don’t you try reviving it?

Yes you can! With some newspapers and a fridge of course. According to the ‘expert’ you need to take those old batteries out of the casing, wrap it in newspapers (thick enough so not much moisture will be in contact with the batteries) and leave it for like a week or so. Let it cool down in room temperature after that for at least a couple of hours or a day.

Once it has settled down in room temperature, wipe off any traces of moisture on the batteries, put the batteries back in its casing, stuff it back in the laptop and charge. (Do not switch the laptop on!) Make sure it is 100% powered up.

Please take note that there is no guarantee whatsoever that this will work and if your fridge got contaminated or your warranty void, it’s all your responsibility.

For a better explanation of the above technique, why don’t you check out HTNet’s blog post. He does a better job at explaining it.

You guys still remember Tech TV? Man I really love the show. I can stay glued to the TV just watching them doing some cool geeky stuff and share some great info on technology. I was wondering what happened to the folks who were the host of the show like Kevin Rose, Kat (what a hottie) and some other names I can’t remember..I accidentally stumbled into this video on Youtube and these dude were from Tech TV before. Here you can see Kevin Rose and Dan. So this is what they have been up to..

What do you do when you go shopping for a mobile phone for example. Do you buy from the first store you visit? (Unless you have no qualms about money) Or do you actually compare prices before settling down to something that you like and fits your budget as well? Yeah. I guess so too.

Nowadays, you don’t even have to physically do that. With the ever growing internet users around the world, people are getting more accustomed to the word “online shopping”. A recent visit to savebuckets.co.uk to view their lists of mp3 players shows that prices are really reasonable and you get to pick your preferred shops too. Have you tried shopping online?
