Cheaper Windows 7 License with Family Pack
We all know that Microsoft Windows licenses are very expensive. If you go to Microsoft store, you can see that the price for Windows Home Premium full version is US$199.99 per license. The upgrade version wouldn't be cheap either, it will cost you US$119.99 per license.
Most of computer users will have at least 2 computers, one PC and one Notebooks. If you have family, big chances you have more than 2 computers. If you buy the retail price of Windows 7 that would cost you more than US$ 200 just for the upgrade license. But there is a cheaper deal from Microsoft if you can wait a bit more.

Long Time Not Blogging
It's been quite some time that I haven't post anything new in my blog, this is due to my work and i haven't had time to spent to write some thing that i consider as worth the time to write about it. You know that blogging take a lot of time, especially if you want to make a good post.
People knows that blogging takes time, that is why more and more people moved to twitter and plurk for example, where you can post something within 1 paragraph or even 1 sentence. I haven't create twitter or plurk account my self as i don't want to spend more time on updating it.
I'm rather start to reduce my time browsing the internet, blogging, chatting, etc. as i start to feel that i takes too much time using the internet, somehow i feel that it's not productive. How about you? do you find your self addicted to blog, twitter, facebook, etc. ?
