Google just releases its first service after they bought Wiki service provider Jotspot, Google Sites. It is a part of the Google Apps. It allows you to build a site to centralize all types of information, from text, videos to presentations. You can also set read permissions to restrict your readers. You can also invite other people to be editors of your site.

Remember, you need an Google Apps account (free ones are okay) to register for Google Sites.

The Chinese laptop manufacturer Hasee recently released it’s Eee PC killer, Hasee Q540X. This laptop is only available in China, and it shows better sales performance in the Chinese market.

Q540X is priced at 2699 Chinese Yuan, or $359 U.S. which is cheaper than the 4GB Asus Eee PC. The spec of Q540X is also whole lot better than Eee PC. Q54X feathers Intel Celeron M 540 processor(1.86Ghz), 512MB of DDR2 RAM, 80GB SATA HDD, 13.3 Inch Glare WXGA LCD, and Windows XP Home Edition. Q540X also provides 4 USB 2.0 ports, S-Video port, IEEE1394 port, and Express Card Reader. Compare to Eee PC’s Spec and price, Hasee Q540X is definitely a better deal. But the concern is Hasee’s product quality, and costumer service. It is your choice to choose between Eee PC and Q54X.

This program is translated by me, it is originally a component of BitSpirit, a torrent download client. This crack is designed only for all versions of WIndows XP SP3.
By increasing the number of TCP/IP connections allowed at one time, your internet speeds up, especially when you are downloading stuff or playing online games. I recommend you to set the limitation to 500 to 600.

Before applying the crack, remember to unplug internet connections and restart computer to make sure the TCP/IP file is not in use.
