If you’ve got an old Windows XP pc like we do but can’t seem to get much done with it simply because it’s just too slow then here’s a possible solution for you. Don’t want to get your hands dirty or spend any extra money upgrading its system memory then just pop in one of those usb flash drives you have lying around. It doesn’t matter if it’s a desktop or a laptop.
This isn’t actually a hack of any kind, it is actually a function that’s been sitting there and waiting for you to activate the whole time! It really does work, at no extra cost, plus helps you make use of flash drives that are no longer of use to you. It takes only a few minutes and a restart to do, you will notice the difference in speed (depends on how much memory you give it though) immediately after restarting!
Here’s an example screenshot…
If you think this is for you, then watch the video after the break…
Does mobile bullying exist? Apparently so and especially here in the UK, it seems all sorts of bullying occur just right under our nose. That’s why T-Mobile UK, TimeBank and Diana Award have joined forces to support TxtUp (based in the UK), a relatively new site which has been created to provide tips to teens on how to fight against online and mobile bullying.
The idea for TxtUp Stand Up came from a group of young people (aged 16-21) that were invited by T-Mobile and TimeBank to come up with ways that mobiles could be used to raise awareness of bullying or help people that are being bullied. T-Mobile’s employees volunteered their time and know-how in communications and mobile networking. TxtUp Stand Up is about the positive actions that you can take and is a way of sharing tips with others that may be in the same situation.
Young participants gave their input all the way through and came up with the TxtUp StandUp name. Participants from TimeBank’s youth projects provided the initial content for the site and tips.

Apple doesn’t look as if they are planning on releasing a netbook anytime soon, although this idea sounds extremely attractive to me. For those who can’t wait for this moment to come, this chart featured below is probably the best comparison guide available to date to help you decide whether you should use your netbook to take on Mac OS X.
(click to enlarge)
So the verdict basically is if you can’t wait and want to surprise your netbook by putting Mac OS X on it, you’re more likely to see success with the MSI Wind, or the Dell Mini 9.
We highly recommend you check out BoingBoing for further details…
