Stop writing Best Life

Best Life is my first English blog. I wanted to make this blog a door for foreigners to China, introducing some interesting stuffs to everyone. But now I find I have already lost my passion in this thing. I am really busy, and I made many aims to do, but writing an English blog is too much troublesome. I will have to spend about one hour for each post, because of my poor English.

Maybe this is a good way to practice my English, but I find I seldom can use English. English can be my free time interest, who is not worth so much time and effort. I should spend more time at my work or other useful skill.

So I decide to stop writing this blog. Thank you for these guys who visited my blog. And if there are some body who want to study Chinese more, can contact with me, maybe I can help you. Or if there are some body who come to Changchun city, Jilin province, it is welcomed to contact with me, I can be your guide in China.

How to contact with me? Well, the best way is email my gmail, whose user name is jetorz. Or you can find me in QQ, with number 123208327.

I am so sad

I used to use Wordpress.com as my blog, but I just find that it is unable to access Wordpress any more. I know the reason, well, the famous GFW, known as a matter of fact"Great Fire Wall".

China is a great country. It is old, it is mysterious, and it's economic condition astonished the whole world. But China is really not so democratic. At least, we Chinese people can not access the internet world freely. We can not enjoy Flickr, Google Group, Wikipedia...which I do not like very much.

I tried many ways to access blogspot, because I like writing something, and I want to write something in English to practice my English. I am so sad that I will have to try very hard to do so.

User Experience

AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition is a very good Anti-Virus software for personal use. Totally free, and very powerful, I use it as my only software to protect my computer.

But these days I found something with AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition make me very uneasy. Every time AVG updates itself, there will be a window shown up like picture below:

In my personal opinion, update should be very silent. A balloon notification is already too much, a dialog box? Why do you think I should be so much awared that my software is up to date? I do not think so. May there should be a notification to me that my anti-virus database is out of date, but not up to date.

Well, I think it must because this is a free edition. Maybe AVG just want to do some advertise in such a way, just some ads. I am think of changing to another free software, maybe AVS?

Vista for Free?

Vista

Vista for free? Absolutely not. Microsoft seldom make something for free, especially operating system, which is the foundation of microsoft. What I showed up is a pirated Vista I found in a forum, so called free.

I really do not support anyone use pirated softwares. If you have programmed once, you will know the efforts for making a software. It is really a hard job, so if the author want other body to use his software for free, we will of course say "thank you", while if the author do not agree us using for free but ask us to buy it, the best choice is buy it with your result of hard working, that is money, or do not use it, try some other software instead.

There 's no software in my computer that is pirated software. They are all free softwares, like Pspad but not UltraEdit, AVG Anti-Virus Free but not Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal, EverNote but not Mybase. Maybe Windows is not so easy to find a substitution, but we can use an OEM version, which is brought to you when you buy a computer, or you can use Linux.

Who Is Wrong?

Indian companies going against the anti-piracy steps of Microsoft in India. We are not against piracy but against the way Microsoft is working to stop it. Moreover, if they want to do business in India then they should change their prices and policies according to the Indian market.

-----via
It is stealing. Softwares are also production of hard work. Any people who want to use a software should follow the TOS of the author, because it is the author who made the software, its his copyright. Using piracy software is a kind of stealing. But it is strange that people in indian think it is Microsoft's mistake because Windows is too expensive so they will have to use piracy Wndows. Well, there are cheap softwares, for example, Linux, every body can use some kind of linux for free, this is cheap, why do not the indians use? Maybe they just feel so good to become thieves. And i just feel sorry to them all.
