Listen to the music online.

In the past, when we want to listen to some music in computer, we must save music in the hard disk before we listen. The good thing is that we can listen to our favorite songs whenever we want, but the bad thing is that sometimes we don't save every songs. Thanks to the internet, now we can listen to our favorite songs even we don't have these songs in the hard disk. We can just surf on youtube and search for the songs.

However, it is not good enough for people who likes to listen to the music all the time. Because it is pretty annoying to add every music we like in the play list. It should take us many times to finish. So, I'm here to recommend some music website for people who like to listen to music a lot.

Last.fm

Well, it is a very famous website. I think many people have used it before. This site can record what you listened after you install the music player plug-in, and then there will not only show the songs that you listened but also recommend you some music you may like. If you pay a little money every month, you can use the radio function. Radio can play music which is related to the songs you like. For example, if you like Jason Mraz, you just type the key words in the radio, and then it will play music which is similar to Jason Mraz's music. That is pretty cool, right!

Jukefly

Jukefly is very incredible. It sorts songs from youtube albums by album. So you can listen a complete album on this website. However, music form this website is actually from youtube. Therefore, the quality of some music is not very good. You don't need you sign up an account to use this website, you can just listen to the music as a guest, but if you want to set up your own play list, you would need an account.

Playlistnow.fm

This site is pretty interesting and creative. You cannot search the songs you like in this site, on the contrary, this site will recommend songs after you type what you are doing or what you are feeling. There will be may play list for you to choose. Of course, you can check what songs are in the list after you click it. If you don't like the list, you can just try another. By using this site, we can find some nice music that we haven't heard it before. Playlistnow.fm also link to social websites. When you type what you are doing or what you are feeling,  the message can be post directly on the social website, and also tell your friends what play list you are listening to. If you don't care this function, you can visit this site as a guest, but there will show up a windows to tell you to login or to sign up again and again. Don't worry, that won't affect you to listen to the music.

These music websites that I just found recently. Hope you like it, and I will be very glad if you can suggest me some other music websites. Enjoy it yourself!

Lame experience with Asus

It is a really long story about my notebook. I bought a  Asus U35jc in the beginning of July. I was really excited because this is my first notebook. The feeling is just like the first time I got my own computer. However, one month later, it was broken. It couldn't be turned on after a crash. The broken timing  was very awful. It was the time that I was preparing moving and getting really for lab. So, I couldn't fix it in my home town, I had to take it and fix in another place where is near my new house. That would make me have no computer to use for about a week so I had to move my old computer with me.

Anyway, this didn't bother me the most. The thing that bother me the most is that my notebook couldn't be fixed for a month. In this period, the laptop was fixed three times but none of these times it was completely fixed. Of course, Asus service officially claimed it was fixed every time when I got my laptop back but actually it wasn't. There were still problems every time. Finally, the service couldn't find the the way to fix the problems so they said that the problems were caused by installing incompatible software. I was very angry about that because if I installed incompatible software the problems should be showed up immediately not a month. Obviously, they were finding excuses.

Therefore, I told them if they couldn't fix the laptop, they should give me a new one not making excuses. Because I didn't want to waste my time on a broken computer. Fortunately, they agreed to change a new one for me at last ,but it still took a long time to get a new one.

I am using new one to blog my experience ,and I am hoping that my new notebook can be fine for a long long time, at least two years. I have to say Asus service is not bad actually. At least they would inform you the status. Nevertheless, the way they handle problems is not good at all. This may be caused by the useless repairer or the fact that they actually don't care about users' feelings. I am not sure I would give Asus another chance. I would like to say Asus is the last choice that I consider if I want to buy a laptop again.

Beating your kids



This video is quite interesting. When I was a kid, my parents beat me very often, as long as I did something wrong. The most interesting things is that my dad had said the same words as Russel said, "It will take them some time to get here, and someone is going to be hurt bad." when I told my Dad I can phone the Childrens' Aid.

Honestly, I agree that children should not be beaten when they can tell the difference between wrong and wrong. However, baby should be taught by beating because they don't understand what you mean, but they understand what hurt is. Besides, good habits should be trained when we are little. Beating properly can make a great help.

The main purpose of beating kids is try to teach them but venting our emotions. So, if we can find other way to teach them, beating can be unnecessary.

Qwertick: Make your keyboard to a typing machine.

Is there anyone who miss the sound of typing machines when you are typing? I do. Even though, I have never used a typing machine before but I am still attracted by the sounds. The good news is that there is a software which can make typing machines sound when you are typing. It can brig you back to the old days.


This software is called Qwertick. You can download it here or from its' official website:http://www.nattyware.com/qwertick.php

Some of you may ask, "Is there any other special function of this software?" Unfortunately, no. It is just a software which makes sounds when you are typing, and nothing else. Your keyboard is still a keyboard and could never have chances to become a typing machine. When you run this program, there would be an icon in the system tray. If you feel that the sound is annoying, you can turn it off from the icon or just shut it down.

By the way, I really like the sounds especially the sound by pressing Enter. It could do me a lot of favor when I need to write something. The sound makes me want to type. Enjoy yourself!

You know, we can download hundred millions personal data on facebook via BT torrents!

 I am not bluffing. This is truth. There is a person named Ron Bows who provides a torrent which has hundred millions of personal data that he search from facebook on his blog.

Bows claimed that this torrent contains:
  • The URL of every searchable Facebook user's profile
  • The name of every searchable Facebook user, both unique and by count (perfect for post-processing, datamining, etc)
  • Processed lists, including first names with count, last names with count, potential usernames with count, etc
  • The programs I used to generate everything

 This is horrible! I can't believe that our personal data is so easy to get if we use facebook. We can say there is no privacy in facebook. Honestly, sometimes I am considering to delete my facebook account. However, most of my friends using facebook, and I think this is the only way that they share their lives. The advantage for me to use facebook is that I can know what my friends doing recently if they volunteer to share, and it makes it easier for me to meet them in the future because even we didn't meet each other often, we still know something in common.

I know that this attitude is not healthy at all. We should interact with people in a normal way, not on the Internet all the times. This is one of my things which needs to be changed.
