If you are using new models of mac that has multi-touch trackpad, just put two fingers on the trackpad and click. that's the equivalent of the "right click".

ah, cocaine pala.. not shabu

When Mr. Murcia obtained the highest overall rating in the CPA Licensure Exam, it was not really that surprising to people who know him. They kind of expected it already.

It's always fun to write about research that you can actually try out for yourself.

Try this: Take a photo and upload it to Facebook, then after a day or so, note what the URL to the picture is (the actual photo, not the page on which the photo resides), and then delete it. Come back a month later and see if the link works. Chances are: It will.

Facebook isn't alone here. Researchers at Cambridge University (so you know this is legit, people!) have found that nearly half of the social networking sites don't immediately delete pictures when a user requests they be removed. In general, photo-centric websites like Flickr were found to be better at quickly removing deleted photos upon request.

Why do "deleted" photos stick around so long? The problem relates to the way data is stored on large websites: While your personal computer only keeps one copy of a file, large-scale services like Facebook rely on what are called content delivery networks to manage data and distribution. It's a complex system wherein data is copied to multiple intermediate devices, usually to speed up access to files when millions of people are trying to access the service simultaneously. (Yahoo! Tech is served by dozens of servers, for example.) But because changes aren't reflected across the CDN immediately, ghost copies of files tend to linger for days or weeks.

In the case of Facebook, the company says data may hang around until the URL in question is reused, which is usually "after a short period of time." Though obviously that time can vary considerably.

Of course, once a photo escapes from the walled garden of a social network like Facebook, the chances of deleting it permanently fall even further. Google's caching system is remarkably efficient at archiving copies of web content, long after it's removed from the web. Anyone who's ever used Google Image Search can likely tell you a story about clicking on a thumbnail image, only to find that the image has been deleted from the website in question -- yet the thumbnail remains on Google for months. And then there are services like the Wayback Machine, which copy entire websites for posterity, archiving data and pictures forever.

The lesson: Those drunken party photos you don't want people to see? Simply don't upload them to the web, ever, because trying to delete them after you sober up is a tough proposition.

beautifully engineered MacBook aluminum. all parts made in america but assembled in china.

Actually, Macs are designed in America, assembled in China, and the parts were coming from all over (although mostly from China).

I purchased a macbook aluminum recently and noted that the Hard drive was manufactured in Pinas, by Toshiba (in the Techno park in Laguna).

awtssss, mahala ba ani.

hehehe morag na balitkad man nimo na pre. parts made in china but assembled in america.

di na uso ron ang laptop o notebook, netbook na....gamatitoy ajo mas barato pa jud

Netbooks are mainly designed for emailing and web-browsing.  You can't expect to use your netbook on photo-editing, gaming, etc. Therefore, netbooks is not a replacement product for notebooks.

test, using IE copying from flickr.com

This is my dream laptop, the beautifully engineered MacBook aluminum.

Use Firefox browser. There is no option for "copy image location" in Internet Explorer when you make a right click.

There should be an equivalent to "copy image location" in Internet Explorer. I don't believe there isn't.

When you're using Mac (Safari) its "copy image address".

test - from flickr

the best? - mandarin oriental in columbus circle

most adventurous? - somewhere in panglao (while skinny dipping)

Thanks. I'm inclined to stick with HDD for now, and will probably upgrade kung mo-ubos na ang presyo.

Hey Precious, the picture in your profile, is that the lad from Merseyside?

Hi,

Has anyone here tried using notebooks with a Solid-State Drive (SSD)? Is the price difference with the HDD really worth it?

Your thoughts would be appreciated.
