Here are some blogging that I gathered around the ‘net.
1.) Do Blog Hopping: blog hopping means to visit blog links that are posted on other blogsites’ blog roll/links and at the same time include them on you blog roll/links areas
2.) CBOX shoutout box.: This tool is also a great way to increase blog traffic as well as to exchange links. You can get your own shout-out box on www. cbox.ws or make your own using this tutorial.
the Migration of iCNSQ Blogs is now complete and I now have re-posted all the previous post on this new server.
VS.
For those who follow the never ending bout between the two processor company giants, Here is the full coverage of CNET.com Check it out who wins this bout. The Battle is between AMD’s Athlon 64 X2 vs. Intel’s Core 2 Duo .
1. Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Extreme will be the fastest processors available. Faster than the Pentium EE, thanks to new techniques like Smart Cache and Wide Dynamic Execution—and, according to preliminary results, faster than the AMD FX62.
2. Core 2 Duo overtakes the Pentium as the name in processors. Farewell Pentium: There will never be a Pentium 5, 6, or XX. A brief moment of silence, please.
3. For the first time, Intel has specifically created one unified Core architecture for all categories: Conroe (desktops), Merom (notebooks), and Woodcrest (workstation/servers). All are based on Intel’s Core technologies, and all three are 64-bit-capable dual-core processors with shared enhancements.
4. All three variations (Conroe, Merom, and Woodcrest) will provide more computing power and use less energy. This will help laptops extend their battery life. It will also enable system builders to come out with thinner desktops and workstations, since lower energy means less heat, which results in fewer fans hogging case space.
5. Expanding on that, lower power also means that the fans used will be slower, so your system will be quieter. With more PCs landing in the living room or in quiet dens, “quiet” is more important than ever.
6. Core 2 Duo is, for now, engineered to drop right into some current Pentium D/EE (LGA775) motherboards (with some BIOS/Firmware updates). This will make upgraders happy—especially those who bought the latest and greatest PC last summer—and system manufacturers, who don’t need to buy a bunch of different parts (and won’t have to learn the intricacies of a new socket)—yet.
7. Multitasking moves to the next level. With Core 2 Duo’s virtualization technology, you can turn one physical PC into several virtual systems, all running different applications and OSs. For example, theoretically you could run an FTP server on one, a Web server on another, have a database running on a third, and still be playing a game or surfing on a fourth. This is a boon for developers who want to keep “clean” virtual machines running.
8. Today, only business PCs have the TPM 1.2 protection chip built in. With Core 2 Duo, all PCs will be protected. TPM (Trusted Platform Module) protects your passwords, logons, and personal data at a hardware level from hackers, spyware, and identity thieves.
9. About the lame code-naming convention: Conroe, Merom, and Woodcrest don’t exactly call to mind “speed” or “kickin’ performance.” Intel’s desktop and workstation CPU design offices are in Oregon, California, and Texas, so it makes sense that the towns of Conroe (Texas) and Woodcrest (California) are represented in Intel’s code names. And Merom? That’s an ancient lake in Israel, so two guesses where the laptop chips are engineered.
10. When can you get one? Intel wants its Core 2 Duo processors in systems within a few weeks of the official launch, which rumor mills have as the last week of July. Look for systems in early August.

Article from: CNET.com Quick Guide DVD is, by some measurements, the greatest success in consumer electronics history. Following its 1997 debut, it took the format just a few years to completely conquer the home-video market previously ruled by VHS tapes. Before it even reaches its 10th birthday, however, the electronics industry and the Hollywood studios are already putting DVD out to pasture. Two rival next-generation formats–Blu-ray and HD-DVD–are already vying to become the successor to DVD’s throne. Both display movies in full high-definition resolution, addressing one shortfall of the current DVD format, which is only standard-def. But to get that improved visual fidelity, you have to decide to buy either a Blu-ray player or an HD-DVD player–and be willing to live with a list of caveats a mile long. As a result, CNET recommends that you refrain from buying a Blu-ray or an HD-DVD player in the short term. To explain why we’re so cautious, we’ll take a look at both formats, examine how they compare to one another, and highlight the advantages–and disadvantages–they offer compared to the current generation of DVD. HD-DVD In Depth Blu Ray DVD In Depth Blu-ray, HD-DVD, and DVD formats compared CNET’s Recommendations: “With both HD-DVD and Blu-ray becoming available this spring, the question becomes: which is the horse to bet on? At this point, from the perspective of the editors at CNET, the answer is: neither. As much as we’re looking forward to the availability of HD movies, we think the industry’s failure to offer a single DVD successor makes it impossible to recommend either of the two rival contenders. As such, CNET is recommending that you refrain from buying any Blu-ray or HD-DVD player–or movies–in the immediate future. We’ll revisit this opinion as soon as events warrant.” For more info iCNSQ’s Reaction: I would agree on CNET’s recommendation to wait until there’s a possible resolution between the two formats.
Based from the Article By Rob Hof for Businessweek.com The latest challenger to Explorer and Firefox aims to beat the big guys by emphasizing blogging, networking, and online communities. Web browsers don’t look much different than they did a decade ago, when Netscape Communications’s initial stock offering catapulted software for navigating the Web into the public eye. You click on a site, look around, watch or listen to something, click somewhere else — all by your lonesome self. Now, an upstart called Flock aims to change all that. Read the rest of this entry »
Review from PC Pro Verdict: Improved CSS handling and the new Ajax support make this the most significant Dreamweaver release for years. Dreamweaver has dominated the world of web design since its introduction. Recently, however, there’s been growing concern that it’s been trading on past glories, and with Adobe’s takeover of Macromedia there was even the possibility it might be replaced by Adobe’s own GoLive. Thankfully, it’s GoLive that’s gone, with Dreamweaver now central to all of Adobe’s CS3 web offerings. Read the rest of this entry »
