Microsoft Security Essentials x64

Finally after a few years my WinXPx64 left unprotected, I installed an antivirus software, Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE).

I thought there might be some malwares after I discovered that a few programmes just not showing up after executed.

But as soon as I installed this thought to be more system integrated stuff, I lost around 200MB of space.
How greedy this tiny anti-whatever, oh, x64 version.

Lastly, I came across there is an executable being quarantined silently: PPS, only after I checked from History log, wonder it will popup a box to alert me.

I thought such branded anti-whatever will be foe with these software less aware of piracy, so I just restored the quarantined file.

Google Health Is Ceasing, MS HealthVault Is Rising

Do you hesitate to store your personal health record online?

Been using Google Health as my online personal health record so I can access from anywhere via internet.
I have no disease that is shameful, plus this is not publicised, and I can get brief pharmacology information regarding my medicines, it was a good platform to manage my health condition.

More than a week ago I received notification by Google telling that Google Health is going to an end, and until lately I chose the option to send my data to Microsoft HealthVault to continue my online health record.

I signed in with my MS LiveID, and proceed till the end:

Hopefully this will be helpful as what they claimed: Prepare, Access, Monitor, Track & Control my health.

War Of eBook

Just found out my Shelfari Bookshelf staying over right bottom of my blog did not working, traced it then only know it has already been acquired by Amazon back in the end of 2008. Gosh! Why am I so left-behind?! But it was working well months ago.

(Hey, they use quite a good trick to hide their new logo with Amazon from showing the source URL, so I could not post as a link here. But immediately think of pressing the Prt Scr button to duplicate one.)

They must be using new algorithm for their widget so I gotta check on it to restore it on my blog. I take their ready made transformation, logging in with my Amazon account then linked with my previous Shelfari account, kinda say goodbye to the old school as I gotta use my Amazon UID to log in Shelfari from then onwards. There is an option to link with FB too.

After settling all the side dishes then only I found the way to restore my bookshelf:

It is not easy to find this only way though.

Okay, back to the war between Amazon Shelfari v.s. Google Books.

Both have ebook online:
Market: more than famous Amazon v.s. Google eBookstore
Listing: My Shelf v.s. My Library.

Yet I feel Google Books is the winner for so generous & advanced in providing much detail like (limited) Preview, Contents listing, Bibliographic info & QR code.
The only lame things for Google Books are the tasteless bookshelf and lack of support in providing widget for bloggers as compared to Amazon Shelfari.

Learning To Learn

Just got rehearsed by my colleague regarding neurofeedback with a cover story titled "The Alphalearning Revolution" in the magazine Calibre.

The main idea is to achieve the balance or harmonious state physically & mentally, in a damn fast way.

It is rather costly for average families but the market demands are incredibly huge, that there are now a few profit-making private schools lining up crunching for the local big cake.

Superuser@Foursquare

Just came across a Superusers section in Foursquare Support FAQ when I attempt to learn if they finally willing to clarify the users about their apps version by putting on version numbers.

I am so into it despite they disappoint me in this particular issue. So I'm in, no, just to apply and see, as I keep on updating details of venues and flagging mislocated or duplicate venues.

I really hope they care of Symbian users a bit more, or until I jump into Droid. See, so despair being a small user.
