Ok now, i review GoDaddy Domains.

GoDaddy.com delivers superior value. Here's how:

1. Guaranteed renewal price.
You’ll never pay more to renew your domain name than the rate you paid when you initially registered it, or what our registration rate was when you transferred. (The only exceptions would be if the price the registry charges us increased, or if you took advantage of a limited-time, special price. If the registry increases our cost, yours will go up only by the amount ours did, never more.)


2. Risk-free, money-back guarantee transfers.
No matter how hard we try, a domain transfer occasionally fails. This is usually due to your former registrar trying to keep your money, even though it is legally required to comply with your transfer request. With Go Daddy, you're protected. First, the Rapid Transfer System saves time and eliminates errors by extracting critical information automatically. You no longer need to find it and type it in yourself. Second, our Transfer Concierge team is trained, dedicated, and available to you 24/7 with personal, caring assistance. And finally, we believe that you paid your money and that you have every right to expect that transfer to occur, no matter who is at fault. So we've made your transfers absolutely risk free and fully refundable. If your transfer to GoDaddy.com fails for any reason, we'll let you know and refund your money. Guaranteed.


3. More FREE, value-added services with every domain.
At Go Daddy, we're proud to have you as a customer and want you to get the most out of your domain ownership. So we give you all of the following FREE with every domain purchase: Quick Blog, Hosting with Web site builder; Complete Email ($9.99/yr value!); change of registrant; parked or "For Sale" page; domain locking; status alerts; domain forwarding; domain masking; total DNS control; and 100 email forwards.


4. Consistently lower prices on everything we offer.

Our super-low prices, intuitive tools, Rapid Transfer System™ and concierge support make it a snap.

Our domain search and portfolio management tools are second to none. Once you’ve registered your domain names, just log in at "Manage My Domains" and select domains to modify, either individually or in bulk. Apply your changes or add additional services – it’s fast and easy.


9. Fierce protection of your personal information.

We do everything possible to prevent screen access to it, but under certain circumstances it can be obtained.)

Review : HP Compaq V3010AU

Hi, today i would like to review the laptop that i just purchased from Lowyat Plaza, Kuala Lumpur.

As you all know the design of this laptop is very impressive with a profesional look. I also want to share the experienced by using this laptop at first sigh and technically with the hardware.

The V3010AU features AMD dual-core processors, the oustanding AMD Turion 64 x2 Mobile Technology for top-notch system performance when you're running several demanding applications. You'll also keep on going for longer: you get better battery life with AMD's PowerNow! technology.

The first i boot the laptop it sound "TUT" very loud. I thought its exploded or something. Fuhh. So in my understanding, "its me the lappie, welcome sir, the master, i will obey your rules". Hehehe .. ok enough.

The boot time extremly faster with a Windows XP Home Edition Pre-install by the sales person when i buy it. Its go smooth and no pending time to popup the windows interface. The screen look shine by the default spec of 14.1" WXGA Widescreen (1280x800). Ouch... its look like glass on the wall, eventough the Windows Vista RC1 is not yet on my lappie (laptop).

The most impresive look is when its "ON", the blue Led will shinning the laptop. Then i touch the keyboard, its very light, in black mode and the space for me to type anything quite 'handy'. The first thing when you touch and feel the laptop it make me remember to "Sword Fish Film". Oh ya, the hackers running the Multi Million dolar for entering the bank code in less than 5 minutes. yeah. i feel like that to now. hehehe.

In addition, you get latch-free closure, touch-technology media launch buttons, and an AC power port that lights. This notebook has a sophisticated black resin finish with an inlaid wave pattern and latch-free closure. And the most i can say here is its elegant, sleek and durable.

This laptop come with NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) Go 6150 graphic card and here is some info about it. NVIDIA's(R) GeForce(R) Go 6150 graphics delivers ultra-realistic effects and stellar multimedia functionality for an incredible PC experience on popular games and multimedia applications. Watch videos without the annoying artifacts and imperfections of traditional PC-based video solutions. System memory dedicated to video performance is not available for other use by other programs. Note - this disclaimer affects system memory and Graphics.






Hardware Issue

The is some rumors about this laptop or notebook. Its quite hot on the left. Because there is a Hard Disk (HDD), and maybe the graphic processor were load nicely. But it's not a matter because others laptop also were facing this kind of issue.

The other parts is a Expansion slot and its come with 1 ExpressCard/54 Slot (also supports ExpressCard/34). I have check its not support PCMCIA card at all as this is a new technology and still lack of gadget but all this will be sort around 2007, and the Expresscard gadget will come out as hot as bluetooth and wifi too.

So i hope this review will make you and me looking to this compaq laptop as a valued money for a entry system like this.

'Crocodile Hunter' Irwin killed

Steve Irwin,

The naturalist worked to protect Australian wildlife

Australian environmentalist and television personality Steve Irwin has died during a diving accident.

Mr Irwin, 44, was killed by a stingray barb to the chest while he was filming an underwater documentary in Queensland's Great Barrier Reef.

Paramedics from the nearby city of Cairns rushed to treat him at the scene but were unable to save him.

Mr Irwin was known for his television show The Crocodile Hunter and his work with native Australian wildlife.

Police in Queensland confirmed the naturalist's death and said his family had been notified. Mr Irwin was married with two young children.

"It is believed that Mr Irwin collapsed after being stung by a stingray at Batt Reef off Port Douglas at about 1100 (0100 GMT)," a police statement quoted by AFP news agency said.

"His crew called for medical treatment and the Queensland medical helicopter responded. However Mr Irwin had died."

The stingray is a flat, triangular-shaped fish, commonly found in tropical waters.

Mr Irwin's documentaries were shown around the world
It gets its name from the razor-sharp barb at the end of its tail, coated in toxic venom, which the animal uses to defend itself with when it feels threatened.

Although deadly, such attacks on humans are a rarity. David Penberthy, editor of the Sydney Daily Telegraph, told the BBC he had never heard of anyone in Australia being killed by a stingray before.

"You know we still at this early stage don't know what type of stingray it was, or, you know I guess given the bloke's track record, whether he was getting up close and personal with it as well," Mr Penberty said.

"Or whether it was just a total freak accident and in the course of making this nature documentary he just ended up being attacked."

Documentaries

Mr Irwin had built up what was a small reptile park in Queensland into what is now Australia Zoo, a major centre for Australian wildlife.

He was famous for handling dangerous creatures such as crocodiles, snakes and spiders, and his documentaries on his work with crocodiles drew a worldwide audience.

But he also courted controversy with a series of stunts.

He sparked outrage across Australia after cradling his one-month-old son a metre away from the reptile during a show at Australia Zoo.

A probe was also launched to investigate whether Mr Irwin and his team interacted too closely with penguins and whales while filming in the Antarctic, but no action was taken.

Foreign Minister Alexander Downer praised Mr Irwin for his work to promote Australia.

"The minister knew him, was fond of him and was very, very appreciative of all the work he'd done to promote Australia overseas," Mr Downer's spokesman said.
