Will Conficker.C Appear on April Fool's Day?

Techie or not, you may have heard about Conficker.A and Conficker.B. They are the PC viruses that have infected thousands of computers (OS, Windows, etc.) and damaged thousands of data recently, to the consternation of IT experts worldwide. Now, the Conficker creator is out to plague the entire IT landscape with a new one called Conficker.C. This PC worm is allegedly set to be released on April 1 (April Fool's Day).

So many nights I sit by my window
Waiting for someone to sing me his song
So many dreams I kept deep inside me
Alone in the dark but now
You've come along

You light up my life
You give me hope
To carry on
You light up my days
and fill my nights with song

Rollin' at sea, adrift on the water
Could it be finally I'm turning for home?
Finally, a chance to say hey,
I love You
Never again to be all alone

You light up my life
You give me hope
To carry on
You light up my days
and fill my nights with song

You light up my life
You give me hope
To carry on
You light up my days
and fill my nights with song

It can't be wrong
When it feels so right
'Cause You
You light up my life

MV Doulos is Back in Manila | The World's Largest Floating Library is Here!

MV Doulos, the world's largest floating library that has visited over 100 countries during the past 30 years, has come back to the Philippines. The ship is currently docked at Pier 13 and will be staying here in Manila until March 30, 2009.


The last time MV Doulos visited the country was in 2007. Back then, I wasn't able to go but my friends did and had fun. Bookworm or not, you should not miss this very rare opportunity to peruse through thousands of books, literary materials and volumes. It's gonna be a rich, cultural experience. I heard the crew are multi-cultural, too. I am definitely going! :)

Bill Gates Family Home: No iPods and iPhones | Apple Gadgets Ban in Bill Gates' House

Every house has a policy. At Microsoft man Bill Gates' family home, you won't find any Apple Mac products. This was confirmed by no less than Bill Gates' wife Melinda Gates in the latest issue of Vogue magazine.“There are very few things that are on the banned list in our household. But iPods and iPhones are two things we don’t get for our kids,” said Mrs. Gates. It's a no-brainer to me since Apple is the primary competitor of Microsoft. I wonder what the Gates kids feel whenever they see the other kids in the neighborhood playing with their Apple gadgets.


I guess it's about time for Microsoft to expand a bit and develop their own mp3 player and mobile phone.I'll be watching out for that.
