No commentsBy aaroah sunil
There have been times when we wished that your laptop or mobile survived a bit longer and helped you finish that chat you were having with a friend. Well I felt the same way; I looked up on the net and found some interesting ways to extend battery life, so here they are. I have also added some tips that I observed over the course of using of my laptop.
Here are the points that I believe can extend your battery life
* Add Ram- Well this is the most unlikely option that someone would choose, considering that we have to shell in money, but it is very effective.
* Dim your screen- Well this is the most obvious thing to do, but cannot keep it away from the list as it has shown great results, a sure shot way to extend battery power.
* Dont Multi-Task- Well, this is something that we would find hard to do, considering the fact that we are used to so many applications at the same time, but then it makes your hard drive sweat a lot. So its best to give it a rest.
* Auto Save- There is the Auto Save option in MS Office that can be turned off, this also helps in making the battery last longer, but make sure that you have it on towards the fag end of the battery power.
* Cool it down- Make sure that your laptop is kept cool; this results in a better performance.
* Keep the battery clean in every way possible.
* Defragmentation- This process surely makes your PC run faster and thus help keeping your Laptop stay longer
* Make sure you end processes that are running in the background, i.e. end processes via the Task Manager
* Built In Options- There are built in options within the Operating System that you can use and be sure of keeping the battery life under check.
* If you want to listen to music, the using an ear phone would help rather than resorting to your speaker. But cutting down music is best.
* Dont play games or watch movies- Well all of you would know this, this is a strict no-no.
* Switch of wireless, if you are not using it, and using the device manager make sure that you have other devices switched off.
* OS saves power- Linux uses much less power than Windows
* Lower the Graphics Use-This can be done by changing the screen resolution and shutting off fancy hard drives.
* Get a laptop that has the option of adding another battery
Well these are some of the ways that you can make sure that you can extend the battery life of your laptop battery. Do mail me if you have more ways in which you can save battery power at- Aaroah (at)gmail(dawt)com.

Airlines To Add Fuel To The Fire By Using Full Body Scanners
By Aydan Corkern
If you are a traveler and travel on a lot of airlines you might have already been through a full body scanner, but these are only in some European countries such as the Netherlands. They want to put these scanners at all the airports in their 27 bloc county. These scanners are on the same line as a full body search or virtual strip search.
Germany’s airline officials are on fire about the use of these machines and want no part of their use because they say that these are against all privacy acts. Here in the United States, they aren’t even planning to use them either even though, in some cases, they might come in handy to keep unwanted weapons and other dangerous things from getting on a plane, but this is just going a little too far.
Our security at our airlines has been greatly upgraded since the accidents at 9/11, and they are going to keep it at the same level until further notice. Currently, they aren’t as crazy as they were right after the attack. Most of the time, you might be able to tell that someone wants to do something bad by their body movements, but sometimes you can’t go by that alone. Some people might be just nervous about traveling usually because this might be their first time alone. Usually, a first-time airplane traveler is nervous about going on an airplane and often become nervous or even sick.
If we are still so worried about the security at our airlines, we need to put other restrictions on some of the things that are allowed on these airplanes and maybe try to develop better laser machines with more sensitive hand scanners. I might be wrong, but I think that the whole attack on 911 happened because of this president that we elected into office. The main reason I think this is because when his father was in office, he had gone against these two countries and their leaders. So they had been watching our elections and just biding their time.
These groups of people that did this terrible thing to this country had to have time to plan their attack. We really need to make sure that something like this doesn’t happen to us again, and the airlines really need to make sure the airlines themselves are secure at all times. Also, they need to make sure that all pilots are citizens of that country where this airline is flying.
