Sometime, if you want to remind your self to follow up about email that you received, you might mark the email as unread. However, when you receive more than 300 emails a day, the unread email can be easily buried.

Thankfully, gmail can display all unread email in box. How? In the search box at the top of the page, type the following:

label:(unread inbox)

Then, click search. All of your unread emails will be displayed.

 

 

Dell Inspiron 530 and eVGA 8800GT

Finally my dell inspiron 530 quadcore has arrived. Fortunately for me the minimum PSI required for quadcore is 350 w, which makes it compatible with eVGA 8800GT PCIe card without replacing the standard PSI. However the standard PSI is using only sata 15-pin power and 8800GT is using two 4-pin molex to power its GPU. In addition to that, if you order your spec like me, 1 DVD rom + 1 Harddisk, you will only have 2 sata power left that you can use.

 

The following is the extra cables/extentions I bought to make it work:

A1. SATA 15-pin M molex to 4-pin F power adapter

A2. 4-pin Molex Y Power Cable

After you got everything setup, do the following to install your 8800GT to Inspiron 530

1. Turn off your computer and unplugged it from the wall

2. Disconnect all connections from your desktop, then open the case.

3. Plug the 8800GT to the only PCIe slot (#25 on the diagram below)

4. Connect the 15-pin molex to 4 pin converter (A1) to the one of the SATA power either from harddrive or dvd rom

5. Connect A1 to A2 and then connect A2 to the Y cable from your 8800GT

6. Close the case, connect the monitor cable to the new card, plug it back in, and boot up.  The system should see the new hardware. 

7. Install all of the driver that came from the CD, or download the latest version fron nvidia website

Free WIFI Internet at Airports in USA

Recently my plane at newark airport got delayed. Since I only have less than 30 minutes to burn, I decided to play around with my laptop and see if I could find a free wireless across the airport. I detected concourse wireless SSID and the signal was very strong. I browsed around their company web page as this is the only page they made available for free. After few minutes browsing their website, I accidentally found the loophole of their WIFI internet service. There is a way to browse the internet for free.

Although this loop hole only enables you to browse and you could not check your email or login to any website, it was enough for me to browse digg and read news in cnn and espn.


Copy and paste the following URL and replace <your_url_here> with any website you want to open

https://ads.jiwire.com/JOS.aspx/http/<your_url_here>

so, if you want to open digg.com just replace it with digg.com so that the url will be:

https://ads.jiwire.com/JOS.aspx/http/digg.com/

Fortunately for us, concourse is pretty big WISP provider. The following is the WIFI location as copied from their website:

I hope this information is useful and I don’t know how long does it take before they realize and fix the hole. Please leave the comment below and let me know if they have fixed the hole.
