Answer My Searches

One day my laptop stopped responding when I tapped the mousepad to click. Everything else still worked. I have a Dell Vostro 1000 but this fix might work for any laptop with the synaptics touchpad.

I went into the settings and disabled the checkbox that said “touch check”. Perhaps whatever that feature was was getting overzealous. But it works now without that.

I bought an inexpensive HDMI cable for my xbox 360. I thought I’d show a before and after shot so you can see the quality difference. I do notice a fairly significant difference, though I feel like the graphics got slightly slower with the HDMI e.g., I can’t turn around as fast in a FPS game. (Could be my imagination though.)

(Note: Click on images to see large views and see the differences better. These thumbnails don’t really show it.)

It looks like this .. yeah I wasn’t too impressed either
