How to buy the cheapest and fastest computer.

How to save money on your computer. 10 ways to save on your computer. How to best buy on your computer.

1. Use AMD. Not Intel Pentium. Intel Pentium is more expensive. If you buy AMD, you can save up to 70% of the processor money on your computer. That is a lot of money. Let say Intel Pentium is 300 dollars, AMD can be 90 dollars. Some people prefer Intel. So it is up to you.
2. Buy a good power supply. A good power supply is actually more expensive. But a lot of money is also saved because the parts are saved from the burden of bad electricity. There is less spoilage and breakdown. A good power supply is actually more expensive.
3. Buy a smaller ram at the beginning. Say you want to buy 4G ram. Buy 2G ram first. After one year, buy another 2G ram. Usually it is cheaper.
4. Choose your own motherboard. Some brands are not so good like Microstar International (MSI). I don't know what other brands not so good. A lot of cheaper motherboards are cheap but spoil easily. Buy a little expensive but not easily spoil. I recommend a bit higher than cheap motherboard.

5. Use your old casing. Use your old keyboard and mouse. Old CD-rom. Old hard disk. This is a sure save method.
6. Buy 3 years warranty. Ask the shop if you don't know. A lot of people don't know this. Or some people ignore this. Some parts are usually 1 year default. This is quite important. Save back on doing claims for warranty. If your hard disk is spoil in 2 years time, then you will have to buy a new hard disk. But with 3 years warranty, you can claim a new new hard disk. Some parts that is easy to break down is hard disk, motherboard etc.
7. Buy second hand processor. This is very hard to do. I don't have many friends. If you have a lot of friends with computers, then it will be easier to look for secondhand processors.
8. Avoid buying graphic card. But I also would like a graphic card. If you have to do so, buy on second or third year. Also share with your friend.
9. Buy second hand sound system. Buy a cheap sound system.
10. Buy from the cheapest store. For example, if you are from Malaysia. you can double check on Lowyat.net or original Lowyat store in Kuala Lumpur. Even if you are not buying from Lowyat itself, you will get a clearer picture. This will be bad for computer shop owners. Sorry about that.

Extra points.
11. Buy secondhand monitor.

Some ways are cheaper but the computer spoils easily. So think on your own. Do as you like it. Some can be bought secondhand.

How to sleep properly. 10 ways to sleep easily.

1.The secret to sleeping properly. There are some important points for people who can't sleep properly. Actually one of the points is to feel the environment when the sun sets. There are two things that one should feel about. The first is the through the eye. The eye is used to feel the changes the sky brings. The sky slowly becomes dark. We see the sun becoming orange and setting down with the darkness. The other feeling is the temperature. We feel the air becoming cold. This is one of the best part. This will help your body to sleep better. We feel the cold air relaxing the body. This is important. The surrounding, the atmosphere slowly turning our body from hot and heady to cool and relaxing. What I want you to do is to feel from 7pm to 7.30pm. Let the sky turn your body to cool and relaxing. Keep this feeling. When you sleep around 10 to 12 midnight, it will be easier to sleep. I want to comment that Steve Paulina teaches us how to wake up using the alarm clock but in actual fact, we should learn to sleep to the maximum. We should not learn how to wake up but how to sleep. If we learn how to sleep, surely we will wake up easily, with or without the alarm clock.

2. Avoid watching TV for long period of time. Especially before you sleep. The TV emits strong rays or light making you harder to sleep. Besides that the heat from the TV keeps us hot and unable to sleep. The heat from the TV is not easily released from our homes because our homes are now bricks. There are not many holes. Unlike in the past where we live in wooden homes where the cool air breezes in. This 3 supporting factors bind us, making us hard to sleep. Personally I still watch the TV. Which is the old cathode ray TV, not the new design like LED. The plasma is still OK. But the best would be LED. If you still have your old cathode ray TV, please change it as soon as possible and also if you have the money.

3. Other than that we can read media like newspaper, Bible, Readers' Digest and so on. Funny how it helps us to sleep. I don't understand the correct mechanism. But maybe in the future, I will.

4. Next is the computer. Almost all, if not all, is with the computer busy-ness, not the 'actual' business of selling computers. Busy reading email, reading in the internet, typing emails and so on. Reduce using the cathode ray monitor and change to the LCD type or laptop. Through this, we can reduce the strong light from the cathode ray monitor. The heat also from the back of the monitor is also avoided.

5. Air conditioning is great, especially for the rich people. The temperature helps people to sleep. It is expensive but if you want to sleep, why not?

6. Avoid living in a brick house. Nobody can really do that, because nowadays everything is a brick house. Very sorry about that.

7. Working hard during the day. If we working hard during the day, we will certainly sleep easily.

8. Forget the bad memories. This is important for sleeping and for overall living your life happily. Some bad memories is being scolded by bosses and parents, bad gossip from other people about you and bad telling by spouses about you.

9. Finding something you like to do. A hobby. Usually this will keep our minds happy. It even causes us not to sleep. Very funny. But it is good. Not sleeping much for some time, for few days is good too. I like building computers and sometimes not sleeping much. But it is good. When I really sleep, I sleep soundly.

10. If you can't really sleep, find something else to do. But avoid cathode ray and heaty conditions. Arranging books and so on.

Energy

We certainly have cheap energy. The economy is run by cheap energy. Cars using cheap energy. What will happen if cheap energy becomes less and less? Oil is getting less. After oil, what will we have? Can we find new energy which is cheap? But with cheap energy also, we waste. Teenagers running around with cars with cheap petrol.

Enron

A lot of people are scared of buying stocks. It is true sometimes. For example, Enron. Enron is a listed company in the West. It is considered a big company. But it failed. Why? Because of the accounting procedures. Not many people are able to see that. How will we know? Normal people in the street. Please give some comments.

Yuan and US dollar.

It is like a seesaw. Between the 2 currencies. Yuan keeps low to make sure they have the manufacturing jobs. They also have problems of their own. Their infrastructure is still simple compared to the US. Their people is still suffering from lack of money and food. Water. Their salary is still low.
On the other hand, US has a lot of money but they do not have jobs because most of the manufacturing jobs goes to China. How will US force China to appreciate its yuan? Nobody knows.

Second miner coming out

The second miner is coming out from Chile. They are trapped in a mine. They took a long time to come out. But luckily food can be sent to them. There are a lot of miners trapped in the hole. Good luck to them. A lot of money is spent to rescue them from the hole.
