Yes, Yahoo Is Going to Run More Ads on Tumblr, Says Marissa Mayer
Peter Kafka, allthingsd.com

Yahoo paid $1.1 billion for Tumblr. How’s it going to make its money back?
A bunch of ways, Marissa Mayer explained on a conference call today. But if you’re a Tumblr user who was hoping that those ways didn’t involve putting more ads on…

I wonder what sort of ads will Yahoo! displays for all the porn blogs.. Viagra pills? Adult sex finder?

Fixed the mouse lagging issue

Mon, 04 Mar 2013 00:21:00 +1030

Recently I have been having a real bad mouse lag issue on my machine. I couldn’t figure out what was the problem (searching on Google yield no useful results). It gets worse by day and it just frustrating.

I am using Microsoft wireless mouse and realized what might have caused the problem. I originally plugged the mouse receiver on the usb port next to my keyboard receiver (Logitech), but when I moved the mouse receiver to other port it’s working perfectly fine.

So I have two guesses why this fixed the problem

My usb port is problematic
Interference between the two receivers from different brands

I don’t think #1 is the reason as my motherboard is still not so old (bought it in 2011). I have a feeling that #2 is the main reason..
