29 May 09 New PageRank updated
Yesterday, Google updated PageRank again. I was expected to see end of June for new updates, however, it was only two months from last update and now it has updated again.
I am not really a big fan of Google PR, but It is always good to get my PR raised again by +1 in most of my sites and pages. It’s fantastic for me, because I know all my link building, SEO/SEM and hard work have paid off.
So, how about your site(s)? Any improvements?

22 May 09 Firefox Release Candidate 3.5 soon to be available
I am a big Firefox fan, simply because Firefox can offer you a lot of things, especially plug-ins are without a doubt one of the most talked about advantages compared to other web browsers.
I have been using Firefox since its release and Now it is a good news that Firefox 3.5 RC (release candidate) will be available coming June 2009, most probably early part of June.
So, keep it up to date with your browser’s new versions. Especially Mozilla Firefox is one of the best, I have been using so far. The only drawback using Firefox is taking too many windows memory usage compared to other browsers such as safari, opera and etc. That’s on windows based. However, on Linux based, Mozilla Firefox browser serves me well and I am loving it.
If you want to test the beta versions, you can actually download them here, but possibly sometimes next month, you will be able to get a full version of Mozilla Firefox 3.5 versions and I am hoping many improvements will be included.
So, keep your browsers updated and surf safe.

16 May 09 Why People Give Up with Linux?
I love to use Linux for my learning experiences, I am not going to say I am anti-microsoft as I have to use Microsoft in many aspects too.
The other day I have came across one article why people give up Linux. It’s sad but true. Many people love to use it whereas some people are just not happy enough with Linux distributions. The fact is, it’s totally free and you actually have alot of possibilities to use Linux.
This article is written by Keir Thomas who is a fantastic writer for Linux especially Ubuntu distro. The article name is Top 7 reasons people quit Linux and it’s awesome to read.
Many people jump on Linux bandwagon and sometimes they got lost in a way as they never approach slowly and correctly. For me, that is the main reason why people quit using Linux. Moreover, people are too much used to Windows and they compare everything. For me, it is crazy because you cannot compare two different things. Believe it or not, Linux applications are
For example, can you question why Apple has no right click button and still selling as the most expensive computer? Same thing applies to Linux vs Windows. You cannot compare two different things. What majority of people do not understand is stability and not required to use massive processing power in Linux compared to Windows.
For me, Windows is good to use with everything, but never ace in any area. I remember when I rendered one video file in Windows took 12 hours, but Only took about 40 minutes in iMac OSX on same Adobe Premier version. I could still install good KDE or GNOME desktop on my 10 years old Pentium III computer without any issues but now my Centrino 1.66ghz lappy has been noticeably slow on Windows SP3. Linux excels in web-based applications and web-server applications as well. All my webhosting are on either Cent OS or Slackware Linux distributions.
You may be amazed to know Linux has all the applications that Windows can offer. Check the list for Linux software equivalent to Windows software. Truly, the interface and some functions may be a little different, but the basic requirements can be fulfiled by using Linux. And drivers and installation issues are not easier than ever unless you are using the computer that is released yesterday.
Well, that’s my 2 cents about Linux and why people quit after a while. So, have you ever used Linux before and what are your experiences about it?

07 May 09 Get Windows 7 Release Candidate FREE Now
Grab your Download Windows 7 RC FREE (Release Candidate) Free at Microsoft TechNet now. It is now available to download. Looks pretty good to me, because I am not using Vista at all and will skip when the Windows 7 is introduced.
There are a few things you need to know to install.
- This RC will expire on March 1, 2010, beyond that you need to download new release of windows 7. Maybe RC2 or something like that.
- Make sure you have backup and do not rely on Windows 7 OS because it is not final edition.
- Keep your PC updated, turn on automatic updates, or else if something went wrong, you may not be able to update it and probably could face some system crashes.
Don’t forget to select 32-bit and 64-bit computing environment because you can download either one of them.
Enjoy and if there’s any comments regarding Windows 7 RC version.

24 Apr 09 Using Linux
Well, I use Linux for myself and I love using it.. I try to use as much as I could because it is pretty cool to learn other operating sytems as well. Right now, I am currently using Ubuntu 8.10 desktop edition.
I have stumbled across some readings past a couple of days about Linux and Now I would like to say a bit about Linux.

How to get?
Linux is open source operating system and you can actually download hundreds of distributions across the world. The one you can download everything in one place could be DistroWatch. Except for the commercial ones, you can actually get them all FREE.
Why use Linux?
I would say it’s a pretty good question, since many people based around on windows, but it’s always good to debate because normally all Linux software can do what Windows software can do, maybe not very attractive looking, but they get the work done, and yes, It is all FREE. You can see Linux software equivalent to Windows here.
Control my system?
Yes, you can. 
You have complete control of your system, what you want to bypass or what you want to do. Because functions are built by individuals and whatever you assign, you don’t follow the protocols.
Fantastic Community
I have been a subscriber for Fedora Linux for several years, and I still am. I enjoy the community in Linux, because they are all willing to help you more than troll on boards and forums. Most of the solutions are obtained in a matter of minutes, maybe an hour or two. That’s how fast Linux community is.. Of course, I do not join every single distribution of Linux community, but the ones I joined, I always enjoy to hang around even Google groups.
Free from Virus and Malicious Codes
That’s another big reason I love Linux about. Enough said in the title.
Quick development
I don’t know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, but I consider this as a good thing. Some people think it is very confusing and I don’t disagree. Linux is pretty fast in development. When I do my graduate project in 95, I use Fedora 4.0 with both KDE and Gnome desktop environment. Last time I checked, before end of 2008, Fedora has released version 10.0, that’s how fast Linux developments are. By the way, Ubuntu 9.04 has been released yesterday. Possible the best desktop Linux edition available online, of course, completely FREE and now it does not even need virtual box or vmware to test it, you can install extremely easy.
Thousands of manuals and ebooks available
It is irony that as much as Linux distributions are available FREE as well as manuals and administrations e-books are also free.
64bit Architecture
It is just awesome to use 64bit Architecture on Linux especially when you have massive memory and super fast computing system. Most Linux distributions provide for both 32bit and 64bit versions. How convenient!
In conclusion, if you have never tried Linux, give it a try. You will be amazed to know there are hundreds of millions of people who love using Linux once you get to know it. I know it’s too much technical, but I am neither hardcore programmer nor OS developer. But I think Linux gives you a choice of freedom what you have never had before and It is been 11 years for me that I started using Linux and they have never disappointed me either.
