All this while I’ve been looking around to find one simplest notebook for myself. So, I guess by doing some survey online is much better than wasting my time outside looking for it. Basically I had this 3 model in mind.
The featured notebook in my list was:
1st: flybook v33i
2nd: vaio TZ series
3rd: Macbook Air
So, here are the pictures of my featured notebook for this year. Basically I don’t only go for the looks! The most important thing are the technical specs. Well, cut it short, sharp, sweet, straight to the point. I just want to share with you the attractive part in flybook v33i.

New scientific research tells us that where humour is concerned, there’s definitely a gender divide.
If you’ve ever cracked what you consider a surefire joke, only to have a member of the opposite sex stare back at you blankly, eyes rolling and shoulders shrugging, take comfort: It might not be a reflection on the quality of your material. It turns out that humour is a funny thing.
When it comes to comedy, new scientific research tells us there is a significant gender divide - the brains of men and women react quite differently when confronted with a punch line. This discovery may help to shed light on important differences between the sexes and how their brains work. It may also go a long way towards explaining why, to this very day, it remains difficult to find a female human who even begins to understand why her otherwise mild-mannered husband is prone to abruptly commencing thunderous recitations of whole passages from Monty Python movies.
It is thanks to a very serious study about comedy, published in the very serious-sounding Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, that we now know gender differences in what researchers call “humour processing” to be scientific fact.
The study was conducted by a team of researchers (who must have had a good laugh over the fact that while other researchers down at the lab toiled nightly over a spleen, they were studying comedy) affiliated with the department of psychiatry and brain sciences at the Stanford University School of Medicine. The researchers showed 70 black-and-white cartoons to ten women and ten men as each lay inside an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scanner - a machine that is not, one must say, traditionally associated with good times and laughter. The MRI monitored brain activity as the test subjects looked at the comics and pressed one of two buttons to indicate whether they found the material funny.
