Comex Computer Show at Suntec

Once again, its the "greatest" Pc show in singapore and the computer show that generates the "most" revenue.

Well, every single show, they claims they have broke the previous sales records, one after another~

But admittedly, this show seems to be the biggest. Even the 2nd floor is occupied!

If you are interest, this computer fair is at suntec, from 10 -13 sept 09. It usually starts from 12 noon and ends at 9pm

A Tibute to My BenQ LCD Monitor

Finally, after using for more than 3 years, it died off. Screen was blank and power to the benq monitor were intermittent.

This was not a first hand monitor that i purchased, it was a display unit and hence the cheap price of S$200. I purchased it thru a special offer which my friend Jerald offered me while i was working with him.

A Benq fp767-12 17" LCD monitor for S$200! $200 for a 17" monitor is still steep now in late 2009. But in late 2005 and early 2006, $200 for a 17" monitor was a steal! Back then, even a budget 17" monitor costs S$400+

Gonna miss using dual screen~ I still not used to using a single monitor. As usually i open a lot of windows and prefer looking at both monitors while doing work.

It's amazing how the things manufactured back in the past last so long, while electronic items manufactured now spoils just after the warranty period ends.

I could still remember how durable my first nokia phone was (nokia 3310). As compared to the samsung phone i have now (samsung omnia one 16Gb). ~_~

Good bye, you have been an excellent and useful 17" LCD monitor.

Microsoft Internet Explorer - Complete turn off

All along i am not a fan of microsoft internet explorer.And probably never be.

Due to the browser hijacking and stuff, my preferred choice of has always been firefox and recently google chrome. Always for some reasons, IE will SUDDENLY die off while FF and chrome and working PERFECTLY fine.

And spending time to find solutions online yield no results. Hence, i have up on IE a long time ago.

And all the while, my Pc has only the basic version of internet explorer which was IE6 and i installed all updates, except for, you know it, microsoft IE. Recently i have no choice but to use IE, as i notice that some of my websites which have been display issues with IE.

And for the sites that have display issues, they are showing again, PERFECTLY fine in Firefox and chrome. Changing alignment for the sites do not help as the display and alignment issues are still present.

The last straw came today. When again, IE died on me, when i refuse an upgrade to IE7. I was able to surf the net to check on one of my sites using IE6, however, after refusing an upgrade to IE7, the browser refuse to work after i restart it.

If not for the fact that i am in desperate needs to adjust my screen alignment for IE browsers, i will not even bother about that.

With such poor support and buggy browser, no wonder they need constant upgrades and patches!

To download Firefox, go to firefox.com

To donload Chrome, go to google.com/chrome

Updates: Finally all is working after a reluctant update. And seems that the new IE8 solved all previous screen alignment issues and bugs!

Good job microsoft?

As you will know, an advertisement will simply popup out of nowhere. And Spavel from Google help forum answered my question

The issue was due to a free counter which i had, that triggered the advertisement.

===================

= Updates 8/8/09=

Problem solved.

How : Just upgrade to IE7. Seems like some spyware files existed on my PC. After installation and clearing internet history and temp files, no more active x notification or popups!

===

Firefox, Safari, Opera and non-IE users will not face this issue thus do not worry as Active X does not work on non-IE browsers.

Initial Problems on 6th Aug 09 as describe

=============================================

Popups and Active X (for IE users)

Page not loading for IE users

A popup/active X prompt will appear,

If you allow them, you are more likely to be directed to

http://eas.apm.emediate.eu/eas?cu=624;camp...813C1736972339T

http://www.jshoppers.com or some other websites.

from the weblink above, i discovered that it is a PayPerClick(PPC) like, meaning, it is likely jshoppers has done an advertising campgian and their competitor has insert their jshopper's PPC codes to run on the servers, which will greatly reduce jshopper's advertising budget.

Seems like a harmless piece of code to me, from my past PC experience.

But nonetheless, Active X codes might be malicious as well!

Please leave me a comment on the popups you seen as i will need to gather more data to solve this issue.

After gooogling, i discovered that i am not the only one with this issues, thus will appreciate assistance to solve this with other webmasters.

Well this is IE for you, buggy and this is the reason why i switch over to Firefox and chrome. No hassles, no bugs, no popups, no error scripts!

Firefox, Safari, Opera and non-IE users will not face this issue thus do not worry as Active X does not work on non-IE browser
