A few days ago, Yahoo announced that they will offer infinite storage for Yahoo Mail. A few days after that, Google announced their Infinity + 1 storage plan for Gmail, rolled out immediately.

Before Firefox, Internet Explorer was ‘tabless’, RSSless and clueless. Today, Internet Explorer has tabs, RSS reader and more clued in to what users want.

This is why competition is good and monopoly is bad.

With competition, the competitors keep improving their service/product to entice the market.

Here’s hoping we will see the same kind of competition in the desktop operating system.

I just upgraded from Dell Inspiron 600m to Inspiron 640m (Inspiron E1405). Before Inspiron 600m, I was using a Inspiron 4100.

I have used many Inspiron and Inspiron 640m is the best Inspiron thus far.

My first Inspiron, the 4100 was uncomfortable. It had very corners that ‘poked’ my palm when I rested my palm on the notebook.

My second Inspiron, the 600m was hot and creaky. The hard disk was right under the palm rest and when I did serious work, the palm rest heated up very fast. Its keyboard creaked and sank under typing in the center around the G, H keys and also around the ESC key.

When I decided to upgrade,  I was choosing between Inspiron 640m and Latitude D520. The Latitude was slimmer but it only offered max of 120G primary hard disk.

I chose the Inspiron 640m because  it offered a 160G primary hard disk and also a SD card reader built in.

When it arrived, I inspected all the previous fault areas. The corners were rounded, not sharp and the hard disk is under the keyboard, so the palm rest does not heat up. There were also a few bonuses that  I did not know when I chose this Inspiron. Its speaker is much better than the Inspiron 600m and it also came with a 1394 Firewire port. The DVD writer is an integral part of the notebook, not an accesory part that can be removed easily and stolen.

I am very happy with the Inspiron 640m.

It’s the best Inspiron by far.

Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start blogging!

I started this at a very interesting time, when Tim O’Reilly and Jimmy Wales were proposing a code of conduct of bloggers and getting flamed for it.

I am not for or against the code of conduct because I have not read it and will not read it. I am just a beginner blogger and my sentiments or input will not affect the code of conduct.

But I sure would like to write something that generates so much interest (read traffic).

Well, maybe one day….

I am setting a new direction/theme for this blog.
