Note Book vs Net Book

Today I’m going to explain our readers about a Net book. A net book is a very small, light weight, low cost, energy efficient laptop, generally optimized for internet based services such as web browsing and emailing. But don't think it's going to do all work that your notebook can do.

There is lot of limitations on a Net book. For example it has a slower processor, Small hard drive space, small screen and no optical drives. (CD/DVD Drives)On the other hand your notebook will have more power full processor, more hard drive space, bigger screen and CD/DVD drives.

Most of the time a net book will cost $350 - $500 and your notebook will cost you around $1000

You will find pre installed Linux and Microsoft Windows XP on net books as they are not ready for Windows Vista.

Flash Animated Label Cloud

Originally this was for Wordpress only. But now you can use it on Blogger blogs too. Installing this in your Blogger layout is surprisingly simple!

Go to Layout -> Edit HTML in your Blogger dashboard, and search for the following line or similar. You may need to expand your widgets in order to see this line.

<b:widget id='Label1' locked='false' title='Labels' type='Label'>

Immediatly after this line, paste the following section of code.

<b:includable id='main'>
<b:if cond='data:title'>
<h2><data:title/></h2>
</b:if>
<div class='widget-content'>
<script src='http://halotemplates.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-cumulus-example/swfobject.js' type='text/javascript'/>
<div id='flashcontent'>Blogumulus by <a href='http://www.roytanck.com/'>Roy Tanck</a> and <a href='http://www.bloggerbuster.com'>Amanda Fazani</a></div>
<script type='text/javascript'>
var so = new SWFObject(&quot;http://halotemplates.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-cumulus-example/tagcloud.swf&quot;, &quot;tagcloud&quot;, &quot;240&quot;, &quot;300&quot;, &quot;7&quot;, &quot;#ffffff&quot;);
// uncomment next line to enable transparency
//so.addParam(&quot;wmode&quot;, &quot;transparent&quot;);
so.addVariable(&quot;tcolor&quot;, &quot;0x333333&quot;);
so.addVariable(&quot;mode&quot;, &quot;tags&quot;);
so.addVariable(&quot;distr&quot;, &quot;true&quot;);
so.addVariable(&quot;tspeed&quot;, &quot;100&quot;);
so.addVariable(&quot;tagcloud&quot;, &quot;<tags><b:loop values='data:labels' var='label'><a expr:href='data:label.url' style='12'><data:label.name/></a></b:loop></tags>&quot;);

Backing up your Microsoft Outlook information is quicker and easier with the Personal Folders Backup feature. Personal Folders Backup creates backup copies of your .PST files at regular intervals, in Outlook 2002 and later versions, making it easy to keep all of your Outlook folders safely backed up.

With Personal Folders Backup, you can choose which of your .PST files you wish to back up, and how often you wish to back them up.

Each .PST file contains all of your Outlook folders, including the Inbox, Calendar, and Contacts. You can have a single .PST file (usually called "Internet Folders" or "Personal Folders" in your Folder List), but you might also have an additional .PST file that you use for archiving ("Archiving Folders"). Personal Folders Backup lets you back up any or all of these .PST files.

Personal Folders Backup only backs up .PST files. If you have a Microsoft Exchange Server mailbox, your server mailbox folders are likely backed up regularly by your server administrator so don't try do do it using this.
