    PC Peripherals Using computer on BED

    You are strange, i am buying a laptop with minimal power instead of a 3.2 ghz amd64 desktop for home use(as a desktop replacement), even though I use gentoo and the amd could be extremely useful for compiling all the time. Buy a pentium M 1.6 ghz and overclock it. Even if you don't overclock the...

    PC Peripherals APC UPS VS Microtek Double Battery

    Instead of microtek you can go for the powerware 500 va model, with 1-4 batteries. They will deliver the ups to you at home I think. Also you may try smartpower 1kva model, which produces sine curve output like normal AC connection. Smartpower's factory is located at Kolkata and the 1kva model...

    Mac is good for rich laymen like bollywood and hollywood actors & actresses, who, most probably, even don't have time to know what an "operating system" is. For u & me a dual boot with pirated windows and hacked linux makes more sense. :P My linux installation looks different, like...
