Have a problem with your mouse? Can't seem to use it on your table? Maybe it's not that accurate and sluggish if you were to use your mouse on your marble table or all glass table. We all have problems with something and sometimes it doesn't help that your mouse have a problem with the surface that it's in contact with when you really want to get something done. 

Well, Microsoft has done it again! The Bluetrack technology now enables you to use the Explorer Mouse / Explorer Mini Mouse on almost any surface! Yes... you got me right! Almost any surface... no more problems with sloggish detection of the surface and finding your cursor on your screen not moving along right. Bluetrack technology solves the problem. 

Now Bluetrack technology exist on 2 models, Explorer Mouse and Explorer Mini Mouse. The Explorer mouse is meant to be used for your desktop and the mini mouse is meant for those who are always on the move with their notebooks. 

Sophisticated design on both bluetrack mice and ease of use is at your fingertips. There's a chrome trim and blue lighting around the bottom rim of the mouse which in return creates a soft glow and set the device apart from anything else on the market.

Some of you may ask if this is a left-handed / right-handed mouse? Well this is a right-handed, ergonomist-approved design mouse. You may use it for hours and won't really feel the heat! Both runs on a 2.4Ghz wireless technology which in return allows you to use the mouse up to 30 feet away.

There's a mini-transceiver that's snapped in at the bottom of the mouse - allows you easy storage and mobility, not only allowing you to bring your mouse on the go everywhere but also enables you to keep everything in one place.

One of the many things that i like about the bluetrack mouse is that you can use it on any surface. There was once that i was on holiday back in Penang for Hari Raya. Stayed at this hotel where the table top surface was black marble! Thinking that my blueetooth laser mouse can detech the surface, well i was wrong! Had some trouble with the surface as i wasn't able to move my mouse at all. I thought there was a problem with the mouse, soon as i tried using a brown color book to put it below the mouse, it started working. Well if only Microsoft's Bluetrack Mouse came out back then i wouldn't have had this problem in Penang. 

I was at the Press Conference for Microsoft's new product launch!

On this table are different type of surfaces of which most optical mouse or laser mouth wouldn't be able to function, the Bluetrack Explorer Mouse works fine on all surfaces tested!

Here's the Explorer Mouse and Explorer Mini Mouse on display! Look at that awesome BLUE light!

 
Get one of these on your hands real soon!

 
Looks great, feels great and works great! - I wish i have the Explorer Mini Mouse for my notebook!

 
Here's a picture of the Explorer Mini Mouse... functions are the same, just slightly smaller.

Below the mouse is the mini transceiver, just snap it out and plug it to your USB drive to use the mouse. 

Microsoft has done it again year after year presenting all the newest and trendiest hardware for you to use at home, at work and even on the go. This year, the spotlight falls under its latest technology the "Microsoft Bluetrack Technology" mouse that enables you to use these mouse on almost any surface.

Kalau anda suka cabaran dan nak keluar daripada suasana yang sibuk di ibu kota, jom kita bersama sama ke The Lost World of Tambun di Ipoh. Pada 2 minggu yang lepas, Shaz bersama dengan kawan kawan Shaz bercuti ke Ipoh. Bukan untuk sesaja-ajer ke Ipoh untuk cari makan, tapi untuk meneroka taman tema yang lain daripada yang lain di Sunway City Ipoh. 

The Lost World of Tambun (LWOT) bukan sahaja sebuah taman tema untuk korang mandi dalam kolam air yang ber-ombak, ataupun naik "rides" yang cool! Tapi ia seperti korang balik ke "Tambun" pada 400 juta tahun yang lepas. Ia juga mempunyai taman rekreasi di mana korang boleh camping, jungle trekking, teambuilding, cave exploration, dan juga rock climbing.

LWOT mempunyai lebih daripada taman rekreasi, ia juga mempunyai 5 element yang COOL! Seperti Adventurific Water Slides (Wet Park), Fantabulous Dry Rides (Dry Park), Waterfall Beach Garden, Tiger Valley dan tak lupa Tambun HOT Springs (Hot Springs - Air panas ini natural yang dibawa daripada source asalnya di sebalik bukit). 

Blog Update untuk The Lost World of Tambun akan di masukkan dalam "3 Chapter" berlainan. Untuk Chapter 1 ini, Shaz nak share sikit pengalaman Shaz untuk hari pertama di LWOT masa melawat "6th Mile Tunnel". 

 
Shaz di atas lori yang akan bawa kami ke tapak "6th Mile Tunnel".

 
Berjalan dari pintu utama Sunway City Ipoh ker 6th Mile Tunnel.

 
Nak masuk 6th Mile Tunnel - kena la menyeberangi tasik nie dulu! 

 
Air dalam nie agak sejuk la! Tak cayer... cuba try :P

 
Shaz try nak panjat keluar dari tasik nie, tapi agak berat la gak...pasal baju semua basah!

 
Dalam tunnel nie agak gelap! 

 
Haha first time korang nampak Shaz pakai board shorts kan!

 
Masih lagi boleh bergambar dalam tunnel woorrr!!

 
Masih ada air lagi dalam tunnel nie... tapi tak la tinggi sangat! 

 
Ok..time untuk berehat! Kita orang dah lepas 6 batu berjalan dalam tunnel!

 
Sekarang masa untuk Jungle trekking pulak!

 
Time untuk menikmati kehijauan bumi kita!

 
Caterpillar nak jadi rama-rama dah!

 
Ok time untuk masuk balik dalam tunnel balik ke "civilisation"! 

 
Kalau balik lambat sikit, air dalam tunnel akan naik lebih tinggi dan habisla...kena bermalam dalam jungle!

 
Nasib baik kita org selamat balik ke The Lost World of Tambun!

 
Bukit bukit di persekitaran The Lost World of Tambun memang best! Rasa macam ada dekat Jurassic Park la pulak...

6th Mile Tunnel ini ialah satu cabaran untuk Shaz dan kawan kawan Shaz. Kami semua tak pernah masuk dalam tunnel / cave / gua... jungle trekking pun tak larat sangat. Cabaran di 6th Mile Tunnel nie memang cool! Korang kena menyeberang tasik, korang boleh jumpa Stalactites & Stalagmites. Kelawar yang berterbang secara FREE di dalam tunnel nie pun ada! - Dan yang best sekali, Tunnel ini bukan di-buat / di-reka oleh LWOT, ia sebenarnya dijumpa dan ada orang kata masa zaman peperangan dulu - diorang lah yang membuat tunnel ini untuk nak menyorok daripada askar askar yang lain.

Untuk menikmati 6th Mile Tunnel ini, korang boleh pilih sebuah package di LWOT - di mana diorang akan provide 2 Cereal Chocolate Bar, 1 Mineral Water, 1 head light, safety helmet, life jacket dan juga Ranger guides untuk bawak korang ke dalam 6th Mile Tunnel.

Kalau korang nak cuba masuk ke 6th Mile Tunnel nie, boleh lah call The Lost World of Tambun terlebih dahulu untuk membuat reservation @ 05-542 8888 / http://www.sunwaylostworldoftambun.com  

Ok itu sahaja untuk Chapter 1 di The Lost World of Tambun. Blog update selepas ini - Xpert Tech Info untuk Google Video Cast, Google Chrome, Harmony One Advanced Universal Remote Control dan tak lupa Chapter 2 untuk LWOT. 

I'm doing this Xpert segment on air, so during my shift there will be a capsule about me talking about the latest gadgets and all in town - so yea... i thought of sharing it here with you guys. It's actually on Xfresh.com but here's a copy for your viewing pleasure! :-)

Lovin' your pictures that you store on your computer after a nice holiday to Pulau Langkawi, or even your very own birthday party photos for your 21st birthday (it's a must to remember), you may even transfer songs from your friends and put it on your iTunes playlist! All these can disappear all at once and render your computer filled with virus that will / can infect others as well.

Without proper protection against viruses, your computer is vulnerable to the myriad of viruses on the internet and those transferred through file sharing and so forth. There was once that i was like "Nahh..i don't transfer files from friends, i don't download songs or even movies! So i have nothing to worry about". Yeah right... well as long as i'm online on the internet i'm vulnerable to all these random attacks or even from your "friend" that you're chatting with online. Well is there a solution?

Norton Internet Security 2009 is OUT! Recently released in mid October 2008 and is currently the most talked about Antivirus / Internet Security program. It is claimed to be the world''s fastest and lightest security product!

I've tried it myself on my Dell 1525 Notebook - Although i'm running on Windows Vista Premium with a 3Gb DDR-II Ram (yes Vista takes up alot of memory), but Norton Internet Security still runs smoothly and fast! It has solved all of my problems with viruses, tracking cookies and trojans. Tracing them before anything could have happened to my notebook!

Norton Internet Security (NIS 2009), the complete protection for you to go online with and surf safely! It's installation time is as fast as in 60 seconds.The community intelligence-driven Norton Insight technology that can be found in this version of NIS 2009 removes the need to scan common files, thus greatly reducing the number of files that have to be scanned regularly. Not forgetting Pulse Updates are every 5 to 15 minutes deliver the latest protection updates faster than any other internet security programs.This is what i call "Comprehensive Protection". 

What's new in NIS 2009? - Well one of the main things that you can see after installing this program is that the user interface has been greatly improved, and even comes in with a CPU usage meter!   

Norton 2009 includes the Norton Protection System, a multilayered system of technologies that work in concert to stop threats before they impact you. The Norton Protection System includes:

• Industry-leading browser protection for both Firefox and IE safeguards you from Web-based attacks.

• Enhanced Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) engine for multimedia attacks

• SONAR advanced protection for real-time protection from unknown threats

• Antibot protection

• System recovery tool for deep infections

• Symantec provides unlimited email, chat and phone support at no additional charge during operating hours for a period of one year from initial product installation. Regular Internet connection fees and call charges apply.  For full details and to access support, go to www.symantec.com/globalsupport.

• In addition to free support, Symantec now hosts a thriving Norton Users Forum beta which is open to the public and averages 1,000 new posts weekly.

 
In a nutshell: Get yourself Norton Internet Security 2009 (BUY only the ORIGINAL - from a retail outlet near you) the most comprehensive security program for your computer. Perhaps the fastest and lightest security product you can find in the market now - thus making it not a problem for you if you don't have enough RAM on your com. What matters here is that you have the right security program for your computer / notebook.
