Before few months, I bought my first laptop from HP with 512 MB RAM, 160 GB Hard-disk memory, Dual core processor and Windows Vista operating system. I was amazed with excellent graphics and security features of Vista, but it was running slow on my laptop. It takes around 10 minutes to completely start the laptop.

Then I found out from TechFuel Technology forum, that 512 MB RAM is not enough to experience fun with Windows Vista. And so I upgraded my RAM to 2 GB. Now it runs properly and have no speed issue. I can run songs and games simultaneously without any problems. Also found some tweaks from Techfuel to fasten the PC

Thanks to Techfuel forum for helping me out. I now regularly read their windows vista forum to keep updated with Vista and run my laptop efficiently. Not just Vista, you will find discussion on Software, Hardware and networking issues on Techfuel. So be a regular member there if you want to be a Tech geek.

One of the best way of permanently engraving metals and plastics today is laser Engraving. Lots of innovations continue in the field of lasers for cost effective and precise engraving. Nowadays computer helps in doing the laser engraving work - a computer software, according to given instructions, drives the laser head for precise and clean marking.

Currently CO2 lasers are popular for engraving metals and glasses. Laser engraving is also misnamed as Laser Etching. But etching requires use of chemicals/masks while laser engraving don’t.

If engraving of a surface is undesirable, then laser marking is available. It’s a broad term that includes surfacing techniques like printing and hot-branding a surface. And most of the current laser engraving machines are able to do the marking work.

Materials or items that can be engraved with lasers include metal, wood, plastic, stone, jewelry, glass, ceramics, fabrics, marble, ipod, laptops, photos, leather etc. Commonly a glass/metal is engraved with text, image or barcode for giveaways, prizes, engraving trophies, nameplates, nametags etc.

As no ink is used, laser engraving is environment friendly and permanent. Likewise plastic Spray Painting is used for aesthetics and precise marking of plastic products like mobile phones.

Live Longer - Happily and Youngily !!

Everybody wants to live a longer, happier and prosperous life. And everybody fears about the tragedy of death - death of themselves and their close ones. A mother would pray that his son should live till the life of her, while a son wishes the same.

There had been many researches done to make your look and feel younger and few may be still going on. But those researches are not well promoted or supported by government or other institutions because everybody knows that ageing/death is an absolute event.

But Scott Wainner is coming ahead to conduct the research on making one’s life longer and youthful. He insists on using various technological advancement like nano-technology, genetic engeneering to stop/revert the ageing processes. Think if you can live for 200 years like a 20 years youth !! Hope that could be achieved soon before I become old..
