Some tips for Laptop manufacturers

  1. Do not put headphone and mic slots on the panel that faces towards you from at the forward base of the laptop. Ergonomics aside, a lot of laptop users like to keep laptops on their stomachs, wear headphones and watch movies. It ruins headphone jacks.
  2. Please do not put ethernet or USB connectors(unless there are alternative options at the back) on the right hand side of a laptop(no offense to left handed people here, I'd prefer these things to be at the back anyways). Lan Cables, external HDD connecters, mice cables, etc can really get in the way of your mouse if you're into gaming.
  3. Putting 2 more dollars worth of material into laptop hinges. I've broken mine twice, they cripple an otherwise really great machine. Mine broke both times in half where the back screw is inserted. It might make sense making this part tougher.
  4. Putting indicator lights at a more viewable place, (HDD, battery, power, etc).Maybe at the side of the screen rather at the base, that would make increase visibility.
  5. Anti RSI keyboards, I wonder why most good laptops still have keyboard layouts still on a square grid pattern. 
Until next time, have fun manufacturing laptops.

Varsity Heroes

Diane, I'm standing at the enterance of Varheroes because they say I dont have a valid university email address. However I've been fortunate enough to spot kick ass developer eye^tea from kick ass developers incorporated on the pavement next to a will code for food sign.

Trisha: eye^tea, could you tell us a bit about varheroes and what purpose it was meant to serve.
eye^tea: Go away
* shows eye^tea a $20 bill.
eye^tea: Varheroes is a kick ass inter college war game that is intended to serve a much higher purpose. The game was commissioned by Hassan Baig of the Earth Liberation Front so that they could recruit someone to take lead of hundreds of spidermonkeys so as to avert any impending doomsday scenario that earth might face.

Although this developer is entitled to his own views, skeptics argue that the game was actually made to support a comic book, by that very name. Some people beleive that it was conjured to serve a different purpose altogether, except that they dont remember what it was.

This is Asian correspondent Tricia Takanawa, reporting live from the main page of Varheroes and now back to the weather.
