Now in harddisk market, the warranty is back to 5 years! I remember 4 years ago, the warranty was still 3 years. Then later they cut down the warranty to 1 year and for those want to have longer warranty need to pay for it :no1:.

The longer warranty is good for file sharing, especially those bittorrent users, and other harddisk torturing activities to be done. Few episodes ago on the thescreensaver tv program, got someone maxtor hd caught on fire, because of the overheated!

5 yr warranty announcement:
Seagate, Samsung

Other hd manufacture is going to extend their warranty shortly.

I’ve put that fire icon as my “favicon” for my web site for some days, i don know whether you notice it appear on ur address box or not? Look familiar? Yes! It’s the same micro boss icon

Beside that, I’ve spend some time to photoshop a new button for paikia.com. I think if I would make it animated, it will be more better, but i’m lazy.

paikia button

welcome all to add the following code to ur web site.

I got the beta leak version of msn 7.0 last nite. There is some improvements of the GUI and some additional new functions.

Winks: Winks allow you to send kisses, hearts and all sorts of silly cartoons to your contacts.

Nudge: Nudge allows you to send a “shake” to your contact. Both your own and your contacts MSN Messenger window will shake, much like how Internet Explorer windows shake using the correct javascript.

Download packs: Download packs will allow users to grab winks/emoticons/display pictures and backgrounds straight from MSN. As these currently don’t work we were unable to test them.

Games: Chess Club, Bankshot Billiards Club are included if you’re a Instant Games Clubhouse member. Standard Checkers/Solitaire Showdown/Bejeweled/Minesweeper Flags and Tic Tac Toe are still included.

Activities: Activities allow you to share files, calendars, photos and perform tasks such as remote assistance.

Deluxe Display Pictures: Although these are unavailable it seems like MSN are going to supply animated display pictures.

After trying a while, I still prefer my modified version of msn 6.0 :mrgreen:. More better graphic interface, will only use up more pc resources and the functions seem not very cool too. I’ve uninstalled 7.0.:roll:

Download: msn 7.0 ( 6.84MB )

The lord of the rings dvd extended version is coming! It’ll add 50 mins of new footage! :woot:

The additional footage includes elf prince Legolas shooting Jackson — who makes a cameo — with an arrow, the death of evil wizard Saruman, Aragorn confronting the Mouth of Sauron and a budding romance between Faramir and Eowyn. The never-before-seen scenes are woven into the film, featuring new music from composer Howard Shore.

Other bonus features include four audio commentaries, production documentaries and featurettes, design and photo galleries, interactive maps and more.

hoho, the cheque comes in time! I got my money prepared for genuine dvd.
