I've just bought Latitude D620 laptop from Dell which offers a 14.1-inch widescreen display, 1GB of DDR2 main memory, 80GB of hard drive, and of course, Intel® CoreTM 2 Duo Processor T7200 (2.00GHz,4MB L2 Cache, 667Mhz FSB). The Intel GMA 950 128 mb works great for running 3D games, and also the Intel® Pro/Wireless 3945 WiFi 802.1a/g can give us great experience to play MMORPG or just to browse the internet wirelessly
The optical drive sometimes sounds a little bit noisy. I've got the 9 cells battery so i can run approximately 4 hours with the display brightness set to high, wifi on, and a USB optical mouse plug in. The biometric log in password give me a very high security to my private data.
Weights 4.37lbs, Dell Latitude D520 laptop is pre-loaded with either Windows XP pro sp 2 or Windows Vista (32/64-bit) operating system. It's good for road warrior or for desktop replacement at home (with docking solutions).

MySpace is a popular social networking website offering an interactive, user-submitted network of friends, personal profiles, blogs, groups, photos, music and videos internationally. It is headquartered in Beverly Hills, California, USA where it shares an office building with its immediate owner, Fox Interactive Media; in turn, the owner of Fox Interactive (and therefore MySpace), News Corporation, is headquartered in New York City.
Well see you there
We need to change that setting so that hidden files and folders are not to be shown. In order to do this, click on My Computer from your desktop and from the menu click on Tools and then Folder Options.
Click on the View tab and under the Hidden Files and Folders section, choose the radio button that says “Do not show hidden files and folders”.
Click OK to save the changes. Usually this option is already set by default to hide files and folders, but it’s good to check anyway just to make sure. Ok, now to hide the folder itself, go into the folder that has the folder you want to hide, right-click on it and choose Properties.
On the General tab, check the box in the Attributes section named Hidden.
Click OK and your folder should no longer be visible in the current window you have open. It’s hidden and you won’t be able to see it unless you do the same procedure as mentioned above and change the option back to Show Hidden Files and Folders. Now if you want to save anything into the hidden folder, you could un-hide it and then save the file and then re-hide it, but that’s really not necessary.
In order to save a file to a hidden folder, all you need to do is specify the entire path in the File Name box. Fox example, if you’re saving a Word document, you could save the files to the hidden folder by typing in C:\Program Files\Secret\filename.doc and click Save.
And that’s it! A very simple and easy way to hide a folder that will probably work on most people unless they are computer geeks!!
Tech Firms Boost Recycling, Dial Down Energy Use And Toxic Ingredients
Dell has said it wants to be the greenest technology company. Apple is angling for a little green cred. IBM, Panasonic, Sun Microsystems: Same story.
Whether it was because they got eco-religion or got burned by bad publicity, technology companies are seeing the light and walking toward it.
Electronics are filled with potentially noxious elements — mercury, lead, polyvinyl chloride — and Moore’s Law says most computers are outdated within a year or two, making high tech products in a disposable class by themselves. How to keep the toxic ingredients from leaching into the air and water, and recycle those parts that can be salvaged has been an ongoing problem, one a range of companies is now aiming to solve.
To that end, Dell has scheduled an announcement Thursday about its “environmentally-responsible product recovery and recycling program” and the results of a survey detailing just what happens to its computers at the end of their lives. In June it announced its intention to become “the greenest” tech company.
That’s a distinction that many will vie for — and that competition is as important as the drive toward the next faster microchip.

Doyou know Skyblog?
Skyblog is a weblog service was lauched in December 2002 by Skyrock (a French youth-oriented radio station). It is contested that this service cannot be considered as a real weblog because Skyblog users ("Skybloggers") often use their account to publish photos without any accompanying articles.
With over 9,1 million members1, it can be considered the French version of MySpace, LiveJournal or Xanga, but with nowhere near the same amount of popularity. The majority of Skybloggers use the SMS language (which not everyone easily understand) in their entries. All those facts make the platform quite unpopular outside of people who use it.
Skyblog is also very popular in Quebec, Switzerland, Belgium and other french-speaking communities.

Last week, the Smithsonian National Museum of American History added to its growing collection of computers a 1985 Dell Limited computer, owned by Clint Johnson, which cost $960 back in the day. Johnson said "he became a Dell customer in 1985 because IBM's and Apple's computers were more expensive."Johnson owned seven Dells throughout the years, but kept this old model because he figured it was a piece of PC history. Michael Dell, who was on hand to give the computer to the Smithsonian, didn't try to turn it on to see if it still worked. Heck, that's the first thing I'd try! The new Dell collection will be on temporary display in the museum's "Treasures of American History" exhibition at the National Air and Space Museum.
The Smithsonian also has an Altair computer, a TRS-80 Model 1, a first-generation IBM PC, an Apple Lisa Computer, and an original Apple Macintosh on display.
