How to turn off Voice Over in Mac?

I find it nuisance for the application that's called VOICE OVER in Mac. Accidentally I turned it on while playing with the machine, and I find it hard to turn off! It's too noisy for me and it's becoming redundant coz I can read what I'm pointing at and know what it means, and I don't need some kind of a translator and remind me what the icon of the window or whatever it is. Finally by pressing

cmd + F5 or

fn + cmd + F5

you can turn it off. Very simple dude yet I'm freaking out when I didn't know how to turn it off, hahaha!

Dual Boot on Mac

The world of Mac is becoming bigger every time I experience something new on it. I'm a windows user ayt. This post is as simple as

HOW CAN YOU LOG IN TO WINDOWS USING DUAL BOOT ON MAC MACHINE?

The answer is very simple. Turn the computer off. Press the power button ON, then immediately press and hold the ALT key. 2 options will be displayed, one is the hard drive for your Mac, the other is your Windows. Select your Windows and there you go! If you want to switch to Mac, turn the computer off again then repeat the process. HOW DO YOU INSTALL THE WINDOWS ON A MAC COMPUTER? This topic will soon rise here (got no time yet, I'm in the office).

That is what I hate about dual boot on Mac systems. You have to turn the computer off before you can go to the other operating system. Though Mac introduces PARALLELS DESKTOP as an option to transfer from one operating system to another, I saw problems when using it. Discussion on Parallels Desktop will come sooner.

PDF searching for eBooks

My aunt is hippy type of gurl that likes to read a lot. No, she isn’t the stereotyped reader that uses bulking books? Think again. She is using an electonic book reader, or most commonly used e-book. She’s always on a look out for new titles and new books from her favourite authors. One day she asked me to type “search pdf” on a search engine to download her book since she don’t have a laptop. Unfortunately it took me almost the whole day searching for the right place to download what she wanted in an utmost speed! Good thing that this site I found and used their services to download her thing! Definitely she said to add this site to my favorites as she needed to download more stuff the second, the third, even the nth time around.

THUNDERBIRD'S WINGS

I recently have lots of customers who have outlook problems, like freezing or not responding.
Checking their system, they have a lot of emails that the outlook can handle, they have limited space to save their files on the hard drive, they have 1GB ram on a vista operating system, they have McAfee enabled that tremendously slows the PC down when it comes to its processes, they have viruses or spywares, the hard drive contains clutters from uninstalled software or from internet activities, an email has attachments like autocad drawings, and so forth.

I can't blame these people if they don't want to upgrade their system, all I can do is delete all those clutters, try to work the outlook on safe mode, disable all startup items and non-microsoft services from msconfig, scan the system with antivirus or antispyware, then restart the computer.

If for some reasons, that won't make the outlook work, try another email client like THUNDERBIRD. I did and it functions like no other way an outlook can. Kudos!

ATA TO AHCI

On Dell computers, when I tried to upgrade the hard drive from 60GB to 160GB for Dell Latitude d360, there is a split of a second display of bluescreen (BSOD-Blue screen of death) then the computer restarts.
The operating system that I used during this installation is a company burned-cd that has files (*.tib) or an image file of the whole computer. They also have a boot disk and during the first step of installation, it asks for that specific file (located on a second cd). And so the installation went through until the Windows XP is showing then it continuously restart by itself.
I thought that there might be a problem with the cd or the capacity of the hard drive might be too much to handle, until an IT manager was contacted and advised me to just check the BIOS\Devices\SATA operation. The highlighted choice was ATA, he said to move it to AHCI.
And so I did, then I restarted the computer and there it went through. Tata!
