If your birthday is before February 4, then your astrological sign is Rat, not Cow. (Verify Your Sign)

Cow people should have a nice Rat year in 2008. Many things end up with their expectation. However, it won't be the same in the year of Cow. Many Unlucky Stars are coming to Cow people and there is no strong Lucky Stars coming to help them. Therefore, the fortune of 2009 is unstable and unpredictable. Troubles and obstacles will appear soon or later and wait for the challenge. Cow people need to pay attention on everything during the entire year of the Cow.


According to Chinese Zodiac, if the zodiac sign of birth year is same to the zodiac sign of yearly cycle, then that's an unlucky year to the person. Many troubles will come to bother the person. The person needs to manage events with caution at work, at home or traveling to avoid argument, lawsuit, accident, libel, blooding and money loss.

Career: The Unlucky Year Star and Fighting Stars move to your career area in year 2009. People relationship in your business or job circle will be poor. Business development has the difficulty to expand. You will face strong competition with coworkers in the company. Unfortunately, you are the underdog in the competition. You might keep losing your spirit, cannot focus on your task and then impact your job performance. The good news is that a Knowledge Star appears this year. If your job is related to art, writing, publishing, entertainment, creativity, acting or speech, then you have the chance to show your talent to people and open the door for your better job opportunity.

Money: Cow people's money luck is connected with the career luck in 2009. Since your career performance won't get any good anticipation, therefore to increase a good income becomes remote possible. Plus, an Unlucky Broken Star shows in the money area. That means it's hard for you to pile up wealth into your savings. In short, money comes, then money goes this year. Therefore, you shouldn't do any short term risky investment. Anything related to money, you need to think twice before you leap. If you don't have any financial plan, then it's hard for you to balance your expense and income.

Love: Because the Knowledge Star comes into your life, it implies the wisdom, talent and loneliness. If you are married, then you might have more argument with your spouse or children. If you are in love, then you will have less times to meet your lover and the love relationship becomes distant. If you are a senior, then you have to pay attention on the health of your spouse to avoid visiting hospital. If you are single, it's not a good time to pursuit the impossible dream.

Health: The Unlucky Year Star comes strongly to you in 2009. Many things will disturb Cow people. Worry and anxiety will bring you lots of mental and physical pressure. Therefore, you need fully pay attention on your health. You have to stay alert for any changes of your body. Because you might lose your focus, you need to pay attention on the safety while your are walking and driving on the street to avoid the traffic accident.

Fortune: Cow people always have unsatisfied events in every Cow year. The fortune in career, wealth. health, love and family will below expectation in 2009. But you don't have to despair or give up. In your career, you just have to hold on your job position, keep your profile low, work harder for your daily job. You need to follow your financial plan and do not waste unnecessary expense. You need to remember to show the care and love to your family members, spouse or lover. You also have to watch your own health. In this case, you will have a peaceful the year of the Cow.

Windows 7測試版‧今可全民下載

個人電腦作業系統即將進入新里程。代替蓋茨在美國消費電子展（CES）發表主要演說的微軟總裁鮑爾默，週三（1月7日）宣佈新一代作業系統Windows7（W7）的測試版（Beta version），將於美國時間今日（週五，1月9日）起任全球網民下載，估計W7正式版將提前於今年內推出。

雖然鮑爾默預先公開的CES演說議程中，沒提及W7，但外界皆推測微軟將在這重要公開場合，發表W7的公開測試版，鮑爾默也不負眾望，還在現場親身展示。他表示，裝有W7的電腦開機會更快、手提電腦的電池可用得更久，在安裝硬件時的問題也會減少。他指出，各種電子產品裝置的合作和連結功能，將是未來作業系統的重點，例如在W7中可設定家庭群組（Home group），把Xbox、影音伺服硬碟甚或其他電子裝置納入“網絡上的芳鄰”，一部裝置的影音檔案，可由所有裝置共享。鮑爾默也在台上展示了W7強調的多重觸控功能，利用手指調整地圖的縮放而毋須滑鼠。他大讚新作業系統說：“我們將簡單、可靠與速度放進（新視窗），我們也會致力令它沒有錯漏及準時推出。”

W7的建議硬體需求為1GHz處理器，1GB暫存記憶體（RAM）、至少16GB硬碟空間，及支援DirectX9內建128MB顯示卡記憶體的繪圖功能。由於微軟已在去年底向軟硬件開發商發表“pre-beta”版，因此開發者對W7並不陌生，但這次的公開測試版則任由全球網民下載，一般人只要由週五起到微軟的網站就可下載。慣例上測試版不設中文，僅有英日文等4種語言。《華爾街日報》稱，雖然微軟表示歡迎所有人下載新視窗，但計劃只會提供300萬套下載量。

開機更快兼容性高

微軟視窗作業系統有一慣例，就是一般每隔3年就推出一個新版，但視窗Vista推出未夠兩年，很多人就對W7引頸以待，顯示了Vista如何不得人心。微軟提早推出W7，正是要儘快挽回消費者信心，力壓蘋果及Linux的挑戰。

Vista自兩年前推出以來，共售1.8億套，但它被批兼容性不足、大量硬件無法使用；其次是耗用資源大，用家需買性能較強的電腦才能安裝。

適合Netbook使用

W7在整個研發和推廣過程中，就特別強調兼容、易用與速度，這3項正是Vista的弱點。分析家相信，微軟將在今年儘快把外界的注意力集中到W7，然後把Vista退居二線，令它成為其中一款最快被淡出的作業系統。現時Netbook大行其道之下，W7的推出，正好為微軟帶來新商機。微軟亦強調，新系統極適用於這些效能較弱的電腦上，合乎當前“慳家”原則。（香港明報）

MUST READ - beware of Torch light

THIS
IS VERY IMPORTANT. NO MATTER HOW BUSY YOU ARE, YOU MUST GIVE YOURSELF AT
LEAST 3 MINUTES TO READ THIS!

I just thought to
let you know what my doctor told me recently. I don't think she was lying and
neither am I, so please pass this on to your friends. Her clinic is in SS2
and you know how congested that place is.

One morning a few months
ago in broad daylight, a girl was getting into her car when a few men
approached her with what looked like a torchlight. Quite harmless
looking. They pressed the 'torchlight' into her back and immediately she
went limp and very pale. So she wouldn't be able to fight back, they
slashed her thigh with a parang and sped away in her car.

There
were many people around and they quickly took her to the nearest
clinic which was my doctor's clinic. There were two doctors at that time
and they managed to stitch up her wound but the girl remained pulse-less
and still pale as paper. No pulse, no BP (blood pressure). Just like dead.


My doctors were confused as to how one wound on the thigh made the
girl almost like dead? They managed to revive her and saved her life.

After some checking around, the doctors found out what
actually happened was that the girl was made unconscious not by a
torchlight but actually a high voltage weapon. I forgot how many volts she
mentioned. 1000? Anyway, it was high enough to kill a person by stunning !


It seems this weapon is from China . It's not
rampant yet in Malaysia , but with this thing, a person can rob, rape,
kill, kidnap, and practically do anything to you. My doctor said that if
the girl weren't taken to the clinic immediately she would have died
because there was no pulse on her.

So please just beware of your
surroundings, if anybody is lurking around with a torchlight-thing and
approaches you, just scream or run away. Better to be embarrassed than
ZAPPED and get fried, right? Take care.

GEORGE CARLIN (He recently died)



Isn't it amazing that George Carlin - comedian of the 70's and 80's - could write something so very eloquent...and so very appropriate.
A Message by George Carlin:

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways , but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

If you don't send this to at least 8 people....Who cares?

George Carlin
