Bruce Lee flash game

I am also a Bruce Lee's fan. Whenever I am free, I would also like to surf the internet and search for Bruce Lee's themed game. After a while searching today, I found a flash game. Although the character of the game doesn't really look like Bruce Lee, but it's still a nice flash game. I hope I can find a game which also shows Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do. Of course, such game will have a lot of strokes in its fighting. Ok, that's all. Click here to go to the game.

Which ad is better in adsense, text or image?

I think it's not which one performs better. But it's the matter of whether people click or not on the link. But if you compare text ads to image ads, you'll find that there's something which text ads usually don't have compared to text ads. What is that thing?

Well, pay careful attention to the image ads and text ads. You'll find that most text ads contain links to the sponsors of the ads. But some of image ads don't have the link. In this situation, if your visitor is reluctant to click the ads he/she wants, you'll earn no money cause he/she can visit the site of the ads by typing the link in a new tab or window of a browser.

Solar System 3D Simulator 3

If you are an elementary school science teacher, Solar System 3D Simulator probably will help you in explaining how the solar system works. Since this is a simulator, it shows you how the satellites of the planets rotate and how the planets go round the sun. It's not a program like the World Wide Telescope which shows you the simulation of the whole universe, but this one is more suitable for young children. Parents can also help their children learn by watching the simulation.

Solar System 3D Simulator 3 also has the following features like: planetary information, zoom viewing, adjusting the speed of revolution of the planets and the rotation of the satellites. You can also view the orbit or hide it. Therefore the 3D planets are in low-quality graphics but this program is still useful for basic understanding of the universe. Click here to download.

Synaptic Pointing Device Driver

Have you ever encountered touch pad problem on your notebook/netbook? Recently I met one of my relatives who got this problem. She bought Acer One netbook a few months ago. At the first time, she bought the netbook, she didn't pay notice at the touchpad cause it seemed that when she was at the computer store, mouse was being used as pointing device, instead of touch pad. She realized this problem only when she brought it back home. But she still didn't feel it as a nuisance cause she used the mouse most of the time.

So, when she came to my house, I helped her fix this problem. I opened Device Manager and found that there's an exclamation mark next to synaptic pointing device. So, that's the problem of touch pad I thought. I tried searching for the driver and reinstalled it. Bingo! It worked perfectly after installing the driver. If you ever encounter this problem, just download the driver and install it. Isn't it simple?

DVD Shrink - useful DVD freeware

How to compress a DVD and re-burn it into a new smaller-sized DVD? Is it possible? That's what I asked myself when my friend gave me a 7 GB DVD and asked me to burn it into a blank DVD. It seems impossible to me because as far as I know, most of computer stores sell only 4.7 GB blank DVD. I've never seen one eventhough I know that there are DVDs with greater size.

At first I thought that I would try to use video editing software to edit the big size DVD and cut the videos into two 4.7 GB DVDs. It seems a little troublesome using video editing method. I kept this idea and tried looking for other method.

Don't Touch My Computer Episode 2


If you like funny desktop stuff, you'll probably like this one. It's a screensaver that shows a guard dog. It looks more like a flash cartoon animation rather than a common screensaver. What makes it funny is when you touch the mouse and the dog starts jumping and then barking at you.

This screensaver has many fixed position images which is not suitable for use as a screensaver if you leave your computer too long. But if you seldom leave your computer long and you want something funny, you can continue using it. Pressing "M" to activate the menu also leads you to a lot of links to other websites. To exit, just press ESC. Click here to download.

Tudou and its Video Accelerator - watch videos faster

Tudou is one of the most famous Chinese videos sites. It has a lot of videos in Chinese and also in English. But most of them are in Chinese. From Chinese dramas, movies until tutorial videos, all are free for you to watch. It's also quite fast in viewing. You can also make the video run faster, by downloading and installing the video accelerator. You'll then see a great difference in speed. The video accelerator also functions when you open videos on other video sites like Youtube. What makes it special is that it's rich in contents.

For those who don't know Chinese, probably feel hard when using Tudou. You need to know at least a little about Chinese Pinyin. These can be learned from Chinese dictionary. Typing pinyin helps you in searching the videos you want to watch (there will be a long list of video names in Chinese). Of course it's better, if you know how to type Chinese character using Windows Chinese input method.

If you like Chinese videos, you can also visit www.56.com or www.youku.com for more. But Tudou seems to be a bit faster in streaming.

Simple and useful tips for buying a printer

Some people think that using a printer is easy but choosing a right printer that suits your need is not easy. There are so many printer manufacturers although there are only a few popular ones like Epson, Canon and HP. The following are some tips for you to consider when buying a printer.

1. Think about budget and needs when you buy the printer.
2. How often do you print? If you seldom print, you probably don't really need an expensive printer that can print in huge quantity.
3. Notice the "ppm" when you need the speed of the printer.
4. Also see the "dpi" or the printing resolution if you want to print photos. But this doesn't really matter, cause most printers nowadays can print photos quite well when you use photo paper.
5. Ask someone who is more experienced in using printer to go along with you when buying printer.
6. Avoid (or never) buy a second-hand printer. It's a matter about the print head.
7. When testing the printer, try not only the nozzle check, but try printing color boxes (especially if you are so keen in buying a second-hand printer). You may use "Print Screen of Paint color toolbox".
8. Don't forget to ask for the USB cable and printer power cable if they are not included in the box.
9. Avoid buying multi-functioned printer unless you really need it.
10. After buying the printer, remember to keep the driver CD well.

Hmm, I think these are only some tips. Perhaps you have more experience with printers. Why not share with me?
