How Laptop or Notebook Batteries Work and Why They Explode

I have already pointed out about Laptop Battery Safety tips. Calvin Chu has posted some good basic information about how notebook batteries work and why they explode.

He explains how laptop or notebook battery works and what makes them to explode. From the article:

It’s fair to say each of us has an inner geek that thinks differently, so I’m going to try to explain batteries a couple of different ways. Basically, I’ll explain how batteries work from a high level, then, I’ll dissect my notebook batteries and show you how they tick. Along the way, I’ll go over care of batteries, and safety and longevity considerations.

Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6 is the best anti virus software out there

Few days back I wrote about top 3 free anti virus software.

Kaspersky Lab is a computer security company. It also provides the Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6 which win the CNET 2007 antivirus performance award. Kaspersky Anti-Virus engine also used by Microsoft, Juniper Networks and other third party companies.

From the article:

Despite a very competitive antivirus landscape, Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6, released earlier this year, still stands heads and shoulders above the latest Norton and McAfee products and thus deserves our Editors’ Choice for antivirus protection.

For the first time in nearly two years, we have an Editors’ Choice winner for antivirus protection. Of the products we’ve tested and reviewed thus far, we think Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6 offers the best value and performance. Norton AntiVirus 2007 improved some over last year, but McAfee VirusScan Plus 2007, despite adding a firewall, failed to move up.

Internet has total 100 million web sites

Wow. I remember creating my first site at university in late 90’s. Later I had booked a domain and created my own site in 1999.

But according to netcraft news internet has 100 million web sites:
There are now more than 100 million web sites on the Internet, which gained 3.5 million sites last month to continue the dynamic growth seen throughout 2006. In the November 2006 survey we received responses from 101,435,253 sites, up from 97.9 million sites last month.

The 100 million site milestone caps an extraordinary year in which the Internet has already added 27.4 million sites, easily topping the previous full-year growth record of 17 million from 2005. The Internet has doubled in size since May 2004, when the survey hit 50 million.
