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!

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:

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.

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 / www.sunwaylostworldoftambun...

Google started off as a search engine and slowly came out with Gmail - their first free email platform which carries a different concept than conventional email service providers. There was a big BOOM when Gmail first came out as they were the only one providing 1Gigabyte worth of email space storage.

Since then, other service providers decided to give in more space, but Gmail was clever enough to give in 7Gigabyte of memory space per unique user. Wow... that's simply awesome! Everyone is following the trend set by Gmail but now it's about time that Gmail / Google started something different.

The integration of Gmail Chat into Gmail, GMail Video, Gtalk messenger service and Google Chrome has set this company apart from others. Being on the same level is one thing, but being a level above the rest by providing services that others don't already have.

This time around i'd like to share about Gmail providing Gmail Video Chat & Google Chrome as part of their services. Now you are able to use your webcam and chat with your friends who has Gmail, and Google Chrome is a web-browser that enables you to surf with tabbed browsing.

Google Chrome: One of the most fascinating web-browsers! Something like your usual Mozilla Firefox, comes with tabbed browsing but its simply the best as it's quick access page is the landing page of the browser for quick access to your most visited sites. Search function also made available and of course, search engine is run by Google. Want to download google chrome, visit this link: www.google.com/chrome

XperT: Dulu kita pakai kaset untuk nak mainkan music di stereo korang dalam kereta. Tapi sekarang, ramai orang guna Car Audio CD Player. Sebenarnya agak susah dan lecer kan kalau nak pakai CD untuk mainkan lagu korang! Mungkin korang suka 1 ataupun 2 jer lagu daripada CD pertama dan korang nak lagu daripada CD yang lain juga untuk dimainkan.

Hmmm Lecer Sangat... Takper! Solution untuk masalah korang dah pun ada! Sekarang korang boleh dapatkan CD Player yang boleh support USB thumbdrive.

Ini bermakna yang korang boleh masukkan lagu ke dalam thumbdrive korang dan mainkan nya di dalam kereta anda. Senang, mudah, korang juga boleh masukkan lagu lagu ke dalam folder yang berlainan untuk menyenangkan lagi cara cara untuk nak search untuk lagu yang korang nak dengar.

Ahh kalau korang berminat untuk nak beli CD Player yang boleh pasang thumbdrive sekali, cuba dapatkan yang boleh support file AAC WMA MP3 dan juga CD-R ataupun CDRW.

Dan untuk thumbdrive korang, cuba jangan beli yang melebihi 4 Gigabyte memory kerana kadang kala ada yang tak support lebih daripada itu, to be on the safe side 2 Gigabyte punya thumbdrive pun cukup dah!

Untuk lebih info tentang CD Player dan USB Thumbdrive - layari laman blog shaz sekarang di www.xfresh.com/shaz

Kenwood CD Player juga terdapat THUMBDRIVE slot di bahagian hadapan CD Player ini, ia sangat memudahkan diri korang untuk nak tukar thumbdrive "on the go"!

Ini adalah model Panasonic CD Player bersama Thumbdrive di bahagian hadapan.

XperT: Today's a day for some tech advise for y'all and this 
time it features yours truly "Gmail" email account! If you're 
always on the move and want to keep your songs online 
somewhere and play it whenever and wherever... 

Checkout the tips below that i found online! 
Check it out :)

Using a free gmail account, everyone can have access to 7Gb of MP3 file storage. Not only it is free, 
but also quick and easy to setup.

So, how does one use their Gmail email account as a MP3 Player? Follow the information as listed below:

1. Create a new Gmail account - You should create a separate one specifically for Mp3 files only, and 
be sure you keep your account information (user name and account passwords) somewhere safe.

2. Open your gmail account and email the mp3 to yourself as an email attachment. The new email 
will appear in your gmail inbox. You can then play it as a music file using the play command 
(just below the music file name itself) This will invoke a gmail Mp3 player.


Tips:
A great tip is to add the artist name, album, keywords and other information within the email. 
This will allow faster searches for your mp3's within your emails.

Also, to save gmail storage space delete your sent emails from within the sent email folder.
