The thing is, companies from all over the world find ways in order to facilitate change in energy consumption but still having the same quality.

Recently, Logitech released its Solar Powered Keyboard, Logitech K750. What’s new about this keyboard?

Turkey: "The end of Youtube Ban"

Youtube serves as the top video streaming website all over the world. Every one of us, especially those who are fond of making videos, find the website as a way of sharing thoughts through videos of course. However, some people violate this privilege of sharing videos by uploading inappropriate things, such as violence, false news reports and the like. As a result, some countries banned the website for such improper use. These countries are Iran, UAE, Morocco, Thailand, Turkey, and many more. See list of countries that banned Youtube.

In May 2008, Turkey banned the access to Youtube because some videos insulted their founder, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, which was against their law. After which the government have been communicating with Google (owner of Youtube), to make amends for those uploaded videos. Google then made such changes, and the said videos were removed. Now, after two years of banning Youtube, Turkey finally decided to end the prohibition to access Youtube to their country.

What have we learned from this? There’s always freedom to express yourself, through any means you wanted. However, there are limits to where such expression goes.

What I like about this external hard drive is that it has a backup software, in order for users to trust their hard drive in keeping valued files. Not only does a user entrust its files but surely the hard drive repays the trust by properly creating a backup of the files that is added on it. This feature of the Maxtor BlackArmor gives an edge over other external hard drive available on the market today.

What you see right here is my new external hard drive. It’s very different from what I have really wished for, but, I am really happy having this, because it was a gift from my parents for my birthday (weee!). Before, I have posted here that I was wishing to buy a Western Digital MyBook Essential or Western Digital Home Edition with a capacity of 320 GB. However, due to an insufficient source, I wasn’t able to get one! Insufficient since I was not really entertained well by the seller, I won’t tell the whole story, but one thing is for sure, I was really disappointed. Oh well, no bothers, since I have what I have really wished for, and that’s an external hard drive.

This external hard drive has a 320 GB Seagate Barracuda, and an HD Enclosure. It only cost Php 3,800. And now, I’m enjoying saving a lot of files, especially movies, and music on my external hard drive.

Gigabyte Motherboards

When I was still in high school, our computer got screwed up, and the motherboard was the one that was really destroyed. So, we have no choice but to buy another one. During those time, I haven't got the idea on motherboards, or any computer parts. We asked a computer technician to buy a durable and long life motherboard. So, he did. But apparently, I was shocked, because the motherboard was too expensive. Eight months later, our pc with the new motherboard got screwed up again!

Now, that I'm an IT student, I realized how stupid we were. There's a lot of motherboards out there, that aren't too expensive, and are of best quality. And the one that I recommend is Gigabyte motherboards. Gigabyte motherboards are best for normal PC units, heavy duty PC units, and absolutelu fit for one's gaming PC. It has the newest technology for motherboards, which also includes a cool design, low temperature, low power loss and has a longer life.They have Intel and AMD compatible motherboards.

I have visited a lot of online markets, namely tipidpc.com, pcbodega.com and davaosale.com. Finally, I have decided what to buy. Actually, I have decided on the brand, but haven't decided on what model. It's Western Digital's My Book Essential Edition 320 GB, or My Book Home Edition 320 GB. They have different prices, and a little difference in their specifications.
