20 things you should know about Windows XP
You've read the reviews and digested the key feature enhancements and operational changes. Now it's time to deliver a bit deeper and uncover some of Windows XP's secrets.
1. It boasts how long it can stay up. Whereas previous versions of Windows were coy about how long they went between boots, XP is positively proud of its stamina. Go to the Command Prompt in the Accessories menu from the All Programs start button option, and then type 'systeminfo'. The computer will produce a lot of useful info, including the uptime. If you want to keep these, type 'systeminfo > info.txt'. This creates a file called info.txt you can look at later with Notepad. (Professional Edition only).
2. You can delete files immediately, without having them move to the Recycle Bin first. Go to the Start menu, select Run... and type ' gpedit.msc'; then select User Configuration, Administrative Templates, Windows Components, Windows Explorer and find the Do not move deleted files to the Recycle Bin setting. Set it. Poking around in gpedit will reveal a great many interface and system options, but take care -- some may stop your computer behaving as you wish. (Professional Edition only).
3. You can lock your XP workstation with two clicks of the mouse. Create a new shortcut on your desktop using a right mouse click, and enter 'rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation' in the location field. Give the shortcut a name you like. That's it -- just double click on it and your computer will be locked.
And if that's not easy enough, Windows key + L will do the same.
4. XP hides some system software you might want to remove, such as Windows Messenger, but you can tickle it and make it disgorge everything. Using Notepad or Edit, edit the text file /windows/inf/sysoc.inf, search for the word 'hide' and remove it. You can then go to the Add or Remove Programs in the Control Panel, select Add/Remove Windows Components and there will be your prey, exposed and vulnerable.
5. For those skilled in the art of DOS batch files, XP has a number of interesting new commands. These include 'eventcreate' and 'eventtriggers' for creating and watching system events, 'typeperf' for monitoring performance of various subsystems, and 'schtasks' for handling scheduled tasks. As usual, typing the command name followed by /? will give a list of options --they're all far too baroque to go into here.
6. XP has IP version 6 support -- the next generation of IP. Unfortunately this is more than your ISP has, so you can only experiment with this on your LAN. Type 'ipv6 install' into Run... (it's OK, it won't ruin your existing network setup) and then 'ipv6 /?' at the command line to find out more. If you don't know what IPv6 is, don't worry and don't bother.
7. You can at last get rid of tasks on the computer from the command line by using 'taskkill /pid' and the task number, or just 'tskill' and the process number. Find that out by typing 'tasklist', which will also tell you a lot about what's going on in your system.
8. XP will treat Zip files like folders, which is nice if you've got a fast machine. On slower machines, you can make XP leave zip files well alone by typing 'regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll' at the command line. If you change your mind later, you can put things back as they were by typing 'regsvr32 zipfldr.dll'.
9. XP has ClearType -- Microsoft's anti-aliasing font display technology -- but doesn't have it enabled by default. It's well worth trying, especially if you were there for DOS and all those years of staring at a screen have given you the eyes of an astigmatic bat. To enable ClearType, right click on the desktop,
select Properties, Appearance, Effects, select ClearType from the second drop-down menu and enable the selection. Expect best results on laptop displays. If you want to use ClearType on the Welcome login screen as well, set the registry entry HKEY_USERS/.DEFAULT/Control Panel/Desktop/FontSmoothingType to 2.
10. You can use Remote Assistance to help a friend who's using network address translation (NAT) on a home network, but not automatically. Get your pal to email you a Remote Assistance invitation and edit the file. Under the RCTICKET attribute will be a NAT IP address, like 192.168.1.10. Replace this with your chum's real IP address -- they can find this out by going to www.whatismyip.com -- and get them to make sure that they've got port 3389 open on their firewall and forwarded to the errant computer.
11. You can run a program as a different user without logging out and back in again. Right click the icon, select Run As... and enter the user name and password you want to use. This only applies for that run. The trick is particularly useful if you need to have administrative permissions to install a program, which many require. Note that you can have some fun by running programs multiple times on the same system as different users, but this can have unforeseen effects.
12. Windows XP can be very insistent about you checking for auto updates, registering a Passport, using Windows Messenger and so on. After a while, the nagging goes away, but if you feel you might slip the bonds of sanity before that point, run Regedit, go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Current Version/Explorer/Advanced and create a DWORD value called EnableBalloonTips with a value of 0.
13. You can start up without needing to enter a user name or password. Select Run... from the start menu and type 'control userpasswords2', which will open the user accounts application. On the Users tab, clear the box for Users Must Enter A User Name And Password To Use This Computer, and click on OK. An Automatically Log On dialog box will appear; enter the user name and password for the account you want to use.
14. Internet Explorer 6 will automatically delete temporary files, but only if you tell it to. Start the browser, select Tools / Internet Options... and Advanced, go down to the Security area and check the box to Empty Temporary Internet Files folder when browser is closed.
15. XP comes with a free Network Activity Light, just in case you can't see the LEDs twinkle on your network card. Right click on My Network Places on the desktop, then select Properties. Right click on the description for your LAN or dial-up connection, select Properties, then check the Show icon in notification area when connected box. You'll now see a tiny network icon on the right of your task bar that glimmers nicely during network traffic.
16. The Start Menu can be leisurely when it decides to appear, but you can speed things along by changing the registry entry HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/Desktop/MenuShowDelay from the default 400 to something a little snappier. Like 0.
17. You can rename loads of files at once in Windows Explorer. Highlight a set of files in a window, then right click on one and rename it. All the other files will be renamed to that name, with individual numbers in brackets to distinguish them. Also, in a folder you can arrange icons in alphabetised groups by View, Arrange Icon By... Show In Groups.
18. Windows Media Player will display the cover art for albums as it plays the tracks -- if it found the picture on the Internet when you copied the tracks from the CD. If it didn't, or if you have lots of pre-WMP music files, you can put your own copy of the cover art in the same directory as the tracks. Just call it folder.jpg and Windows Media Player will pick it up and display it.
19. Windows key + Break brings up the System Properties dialogue box; Windows key + D brings up the desktop; Windows key + Tab moves through the taskbar buttons.
20. The next release of Windows XP, codenamed Longhorn, is due out late next year or early 2006 and won't be much to write home about. The next big release is codenamed Blackcomb and will be out in 2003/2007.

How to work in Singapore
How I wish I could work or experience to work to the other country. If you are going to ask me why? because here in the Philippines, the competition for a job is very difficult and you need a lot of experience for you to land a job. And the compensation here is not that competitive unlike on other countries.
Singapore is one of the best destinations for Filipinos seeking greener pastures. Top reason for working here is the higher salary compared in our country. It is located 3 hours away from the Philippines and air fare is ranging only from Php 2000 to Php 5000. Climate here is same as in our country so you don’t need to adjust.
How much can you earn here? If you are a degree holder of any course, you are entitled to earn a monthly income of SGD1,800 minimum. Salary has no limit and you can earn up to several thousand depending on your expertise and position. They have a government branch called ‘Ministry of Manpower’ who sees to it that you are well compensated. Otherwise, they will not allow you to be employed. Salary also can vary depending on the company that will hire you and the degree that you have. The IT personnel have the advantage of having the highest salary in all the fields. With this salary, for sure you can go back home every month.
How to go to Singapore? As mentioned earlier, air fare is ranging only from Php 2000 to Php 5000. Since Singapore is an ASEAN member country, you don’t need a visa. Passport and a plane ticket are that two things that you must have. There are two options that I will discuss on how to go to Singapore fast.
First is by using a tourist pass. Once you are here, the immigration personnel will grant you 14 to 30 days pass to stay. In most cases, they will grant you 30 days. After that, you can ask for an extension for another 30 days for a total of almost 2 months. You can use that to look and apply for a job.
Another option is by applying for a long term social visit pas or the EPEC. If you have this pass, you are allowed to stay in Singapore for a year to look and apply for a job. Applying for EPEC is online and free. However, there are only few accredited schools in the Philippines. Try this link to apply for an EPEC online.

How to apply jobs? Here in Singapore, 95% of jobs are posted online. All you need is a resume with attached photo. Although application is done online, you need to be here before you start emailing them or it will be wasted. They will only entertain applicants who are in Singapore.
How to work in Singapore? Unlike other countries, you are not binded by a contract once you are working. You will receive same privileges and benefits as the local personnel. Probationary period is ranging from 3 months up to 6 months before you become a regular employee. There are different work passes that you can have depending on the salary. The S Pass is given for workers with salary of USD 1800 up to USD 2499 while E Pass is given for workers with salary of USD 2500 or more.
Do you have a future in Singapore? After working for 6 months, you can apply for a Permanent Residence pass. Once approved, you can now bring your immediate family to stay in Singapore. Having this pass also entitles you to buy and own a house at a very affordable price. Singapore Citizenship can be attained if you stay for straight 2 years as Permanent Resident.

RESUME BUILDING
Remember that the Recruitment office and the Human Resources dept. receive hundreds of resumes every week. How do you make sure your resume gets a longer look? Do you need to write a life story? Do you need to print it colored? Would using scented paper make a difference? Will a ten-page resume show you’re the right choice?
Your resume should contain:
Job objective. Specify the kind of work you are looking for. Be specific and straightforward.
Skills. For fresh graduates, you may include on-the-job experience or big projects you were part of in school. If you are looking for a new job, include your present and previous employers, address, dates of employment, your job title, and your duties. It would be helpful to mention your acquired skills and significant accomplishments.
Education. List down your educational attainment, including the name of school and year graduated. Include any awards received to add to your credentials.
Trainings. Whether you’re a fresh grad or a practicing professional, it would be helpful to list down the trainings you have previously attended. These will increase your credibility.
References. Have three people in mind who will serve as good references - a professor, a colleague, a former boss. Keep in mind that your references should be able to establish your credibility and credentials, so make sure that your references know you well.
Some useful tips:
Choose a resume format that best suits you. A chronological resume lists your job history with the most recent position listed first. A functional resume categorizes your job experience into sections focusing on skill and accomplishment.
Be brief and concise. Your resume should summarize your accomplishments. It is not an autobiography so make sure you only include the relevant information.
Proofread. Read, read, read your resume. Double check dates, facts, grammar, punctuation marks, among others. Ask a professor or a colleague to take a look at your resume.
Beautify. Your resume must be inviting. Use classic but elegant fonts such as Times New Roman, Arial or Helvetica, at least 10 pts in size. Use section headings. Print on clean, white paper.
Your resume is the first step in a job application. Given this, you need to invest time and energy not just on the content, but also on its design.

JOB INTERVIEW
So you got a call from the Recruitment office for an interview, congratulations. You’re now one step closer to becoming part of the company. The next thing you should think about is how to ace the job interview to score the job you’ve long been wanting to get.
Remember that there are probably ten, or maybe even a hundred, other people applying for the position you’re eyeing. So the first thing to ask yourself is “Why should I get the job?”
Here are some points to consider when you’re up for a job interview:
Prepare. A job interview requires careful preparation. You should take the time to sit down, assess your career plans and your career experience, and make some notes.
Here are some questions that may be asked during the interview:
· What are the things that encouraged you to apply to the company?
· What are your career objectives?
· What courses did you take up and why?
· What do you do particularly well at school?
· What are your main responsibilities in your present job?
· Which aspect of the job do you like most?
· What are the main problem areas of your job?
· Why do you want to leave your present employer?
· What is expected in your first year if you are offered this job?
· How do you see yourself five years from now?
· Are there any people you find difficulty working with?
· What are your strengths?
· What are the things you like to improve on about yourself?
· Why should the company hire you?
Whether you are a fresh graduate or you have several years of work experience, it is important to prepare for the job interview. Try to anticipate the questions that will be asked in the interview. Get a friend to act as an interviewer so you can practice. Preparing for the job interview will help build and boost your confidence.
Research. Thanks to the Internet, information is now available more than ever. Go online and find out what you can about the organization and the position. This will give you more information about the company’s business, its people and the work environment. The interviewer would also be impressed that you did your homework and get the impression that you really are interested in the job.
Stop, Look and Listen. During the interview, listen attentively to the interviewer. Look at the interviewer to show interest. Before answering a question, take a pause to think about your answer.
Try to cite evidence for your statements. For example, if you say that you have good leadership skills, mention some previous projects where you had to assume a leadership role. Pay attention as well to your body language – posture, handshake, attire, personal grooming. Sit properly. Keep your hands free from pens, keys or cellphones to avoid fidgeting. Put your phone on silent mode, or better yet, turn it off.
Also, remember that interviewers conduct the interview to find the right person fit for the job. They are not there to find flaws in you, nor to make your life difficult. Interviewers need to be convinced that you are indeed the right person for the job.
Interview the Interviewer. At some point during the interview, the interviewer will ask you if you have any questions. This is the right time for you to know a bit more about the company, the position you are applying for, the work environment, the people, to name a few. Prepare your questions way ahead so that when you’re given the chance to ask, you already know what to ask.
Thanks. When the interview ends, make sure to thank the interviewer for his or her time. Extend your hand for a good shake. If you have the interviewer’s email address, you may also send a brief note of thanks. This would show that you’re really interested in the job, and this gesture is something very rarely done by applicants.
The job interview plays a very big role in your application. Knowing that you only have a couple of minutes to demonstrate your competency and your desire for the job can cause some pressure. But with the right preparation, your interview should go smoothly. Remember that your objective is to show the interviewer that you are the one most capable of doing the job among all the applicants.
Before you enter the door, take a deep breath, relax and project confidence. Now, go on and show the interviewer they should hire you.

4 Things You Should Never Say to the CEO
I've already worked for a private company, once I read this article, I said to myself that I need to follow this and it will help me a lot for my career.
If a "nice guy" runs your company, you might be able to say whatever's on your mind in the boardroom and get away with it. But most successful CEOs aren't nice guys -- they're very serious people, often edgy to the point of mania. At General Electric, where I spent 20 years as the speechwriter for hyperkinetic CEO Jack Welch, I watched dozens of executives torpedo their own careers by saying the wrong thing to the boss -- not "politically incorrect" jaw-droppers, just maladroit or foolish remarks.
Even if you work at a small company with 1 percent of GE's revenue, there are certain verbal blunders you should avoid at all cost:
1. "I'll have to get back to you on that."
In other words, you don't know and didn't do your homework. Welch fired one vice president who gave that answer several times during a presentation. To avoid that fate, before an important pitch to the boss, conduct a "war game" or "murder board" with colleagues -- and pick the most cynical, intelligent people you know. Ask them to sit through your presentation and then hit you with their best shots, asking the most off-the-wall, unfair questions they can think of. When you finally enter the bear's den, your ammunition should be data. Make sure you're loaded with it, so you can answer any question in mind-numbing detail. You might come across as brash, but Welch always admired people who didn't fold when challenged and "had a good story and the data to back it up."
2. Making fun of a corporate program.
Yes, there are lots of vapid initiatives trotted out by marketing or PR or HR people: "Year of the Customer," or "Zero Mistakes," or "Zero Inventory," or "Zero Drinking at Lunch." And sadly enough, bad CEOs often buy in and pay these goofy ideas half-hearted lip service. Feel free to make fun of this stupid stuff--as long as you're willing to leave the company the next day.
Once at GE, the chief financial officer poked gentle, martini-fueled fun at a Welch initiative, from the podium at a company dinner. Welch fired him shortly thereafter.
I ran with most of what Welch promulgated, because it made sense to me. As a communicator, my job was to take it to another level -- often to the point that Welch had to rein me in, calling me crazier than he was. This might sound like butt-kissing, but not to me. I believe in "signing on or signing out." If you don't believe in the corporate mission, either keep your mouth shut or leave.
3. Something you find funny.
Skip the jokes, especially at the beginning of a presentation. I saw a young fast-riser start to come unglued during a presentation, after beginning with some humorous references to his subject. Welch made a dismissive hand gesture and then delivered the ultimate rebuff--he started doing his mail, opening envelopes and writing replies while the painful presentation continued. Afterward, Welch told me the presenter wasn't just awful, "he was flippant."
If you're lucky enough to get on the CEO's calendar, get advice ahead of time about what he's really interested in. Open his eyes to something he'll want to tell others about. As Welch once said: "You know what some kid told me today at the company meeting? We may be going in the wrong direction. Can't get it outta my mind. Gotta talk to her tomorrow ? or maybe tonight."
4. "That can't be done."
No CEO wants to hear that something he deems important is impossible. One year Welch wanted to make major, last-minute changes to the "CEO letter" that ran in the annual report. Two million copies of the book were already being printed, and I told him it was too late to make changes. The resulting explosion blew me out of his office. After recovering, I picked up the phone and stopped the presses, and we got his changes made the next day. GE's stock went up, but my career flat-lined for a while.
What should you do if the boss wants something that's really off the wall? I like to recall this scene from The Godfather: Part II: The boss wants somebody killed. His lawyer says, "Michael, you can't do this. It's impossible."
Michael turns to Torpedo, his right-hand man. "Well?"
"Difficult," Torpedo answers. "Not impossible.
Never say something is impossible.

Is now the time to buy consumer electronics?
As a read this question on the internet, I suddenly think what would be the advantage of waiting for several months and its disadvantage.
I think the number one factor will affect the ability to buy is MONEY!?!?!?(Am I right about that?)
Second will be the economics...
I got a post here:
After reading the post all I can say is, if you have enough money to buy electronics right now do it! Don't wait till the month of June...
I think the number one factor will affect the ability to buy is MONEY!?!?!?(Am I right about that?)
Second will be the economics...
I got a post here:
They say there's no time like the present, and according to Richard Glikes, executive director of the Home Theater Specialists of America, that goes doubly so for buying electronic gadgetry. The reason? Blame it on China.
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
Given the state of the U.S. economy, spending your disposable income on high-tech toys may not seem like the best investment in 2008. But if you've already decided to purchase a TV or a new phone, you might be inclined to wait for prices to go down.
That might be a long wait, says Glikes. China is the production center for the vast majority of consumer electronics, and the heyday of cheap labor there may be rapidly coming to a close. For starters, blame the Olympics: In order to clear the air of pollution, many factories are shutting down in June, which could put a damper on the supply of many products. Also, China is tiptoeing towards better relationships with its workers: New labor and worker protection laws have pushed labor costs up 15 percent. The price of many components and metals used in making electronics is also going up.
Perhaps the biggest culprit of all: The falling U.S. dollar. The poor old greenback just doesn't go as far as it used to. Most notably it is falling against the euro, but it's also fallen considerably against the Chinese yuan, about 10 percent in the last year. In other words, if paid in dollars, Chinese companies now earn 10 percent less than they did a year ago due solely to the falling exchange rate. One can imagine that doesn't sit well with them.
In other words: Current prices may simply not be sustainable, and thus price increases may soon be on tap in order to shore up profits. Sure enough, prices are already going up for some LCD products. At the manufacturer level, says Glikes, prices in China are already up from 8 to 20 percent, and U.S. retail prices are soon to follow.
Get ready for a bumpy 2008. Taken from: Tech Yahoo
After reading the post all I can say is, if you have enough money to buy electronics right now do it! Don't wait till the month of June...
