My cousin, Bien, works as a psychiatrist in her own mental-health clinic. Visiting her last Saturday, I noticed that her secretary has a new screensaver in her Toshiba portable laptop -- an animated dancing teapot singing the children's nursery rhyme "I'm a Little Teapot". Bien, who sees humor in almost everything posted a note on her secretary's desk: "Your laptop is suffering from an identity disorder."

A screensaver pops up every time a user leaves his computer unused for a couple of minutes. Sometimes it's as simple as a blank screen, or a monochrome screen. But most modern users today prefer to accessorize their laptops with screensavers, therefore, having cute and silly stuff flashing through their screens like a dancing teapot. A screensaver is actually a file ending in .exe or .scr that the operating system recognizes as a different program or application.

Screensavers are created to protect the monitors from phosphor burn. A phosphor is a chemical that coats the back side of the CRT screen. It displays fluorescence once it's excited with electron beams. But modern laptop users don't know this. They think screensavers are funny art stuff that bobs in and out of their screen annoying people around their desks. Therefore, having a dancing teapot on one's screen is not actually a bad idea.

There's a new feature found in portable laptops and personal digital assistants that causes confusion to moronic buyers. Fingerprint scanner/reader is a tool that enhances ordinary passwords by reading the user's fingerprints. It works exactly like the price scanners in supermarkets that ignoramuses use when they don't know what a tag price is for.

It's actually very user-friendly: Just slide your finger on the device, then it will treat your finger like bar codes, and if the system recognizes your fingerprint it will give you an access to your computer. If I'm not mistaken, it was Microsoft Computers who introduced this technology to consumers as well as copycat companies. Laptops from Dell, Toshiba, and Hewlett-Packard employ this technology. Personally, I think it is a brilliant idea to simply swipe your finger on a reading machine than type long-forgotten log-ins and passwords to be able to use your computer. By this means, we can eliminate the risk of nosy colleagues hacking our PCs to grab MP3 files and well-kept porn pics. The only problem with this device is that there will be excruciating times when it will refuse to read your fingertips. So make sure your hands are always dry and squeaky clean especially right after you use the toilet.

Laptops are the most essential must-have for the modern office employee who deals with tons of paperwork and lots of computing tasks everyday. However, buying a new laptop every year because your old one is malfunctioning due to overheat and overuse is not exactly practical. Proper care and maintenance are the key to keep your machines and wallets healthy.

Just like you or your Porsche, your notebook also needs fresh air and some rest so that it can function and operate the way you need them. LiftOff Portable Notebook Cooling Stand is among the best computer accessories available in the market. Aside from that, it's made by Kensington which is a reputable company when it comes to computer materials.

This cooler hoists the laptop to allow cool air to flow and minimize the risk of overheating. The stand is adjustable allowing users to fix and regulate the tilt based on specific eye levels. It holds computers safely and firmly to avoid accidents like slips or falls. Unlike other cooling products, this tool is very light and you can fit it on your laptop bag making it very ideal for business trips and out of town conferences. A stand and a cooler combined in one powerful package is simply the most affordable and effective laptop accessory ever made.

Overheating is the most common cause for the decrease of your computer's shelf life. Cool atmosphere is very important especially if you always bring your portable notebook in your home or at the office. Laptops can become as workaholic as their masters, but they can't take aspirin or paracetamol whenever they have fever. And most of the time, we'll only realize that our notebooks are sick if they crash, or worst, don't operate at all.

Natural air conditioners can be helpful, but they do not give you the security that your laptops will beat the heat during the day. Cooling pad fans are created to answer our burning maladies on computers. Targus Tornado Notebook Chill Pad is the newest tool to address cooling issues of state-of-the-art laptops. It has two established fans for faster heat dispersal and rubber domes to eliminate notebook slippage.

Weighing 15 oz, you can attach it to your ultra mobile devices through the USB ports. Unlike other coolers, this economical tool is equipped with switches so you can turn it off if your laptop is not in use. Targus is a trusted name when it comes to computer hardware, peripherals, and firewall security suites. There will be other choices for cooling systems, but while they're not yet around, try this one first.

You, inhabitants of the Earth, are so lucky because you got all the opportunities to use the powerful and flashy portable notebooks in town. You actually have a huge collection of laptops ranging from different sizes, different colors, different features and different brands. But no matter what the brand or the price of your notebook is, proper care and management are the key to make its digital life longer.

There are many ways to keep your laptops strong and safe from accidents, thieves, and viruses. If you'll visit the nearest laptop dealers, you'll find that aside from the machines, you got a whole collection of bags, anti-virus and anti-spyware software, firewall security systems, and laptop carts. And to make sure that you can extend the shelf life of your gadget, better use Vantec LapCool3 Notebook Cooler. It's a slick device that you attach to your gadget so that it can take the machine's heat away after a long day's work. Unlike other coolers, Vantec releases the heat out of your machine through the back instead of pushing it to the top. This is an excellent tool to avoid crashes, shocks, or even explosions due to overheating. Our portables can be as cold as ice with the tool's quiet and slim fans.

I love laptops and portable notebooks that come with sleek and cutting edge designs, ultramodern features and of course, affordable prices. I own three laptops from different laptop companies; one which is a Dell Inspiron which I use for work and which I bring to my office conferences everyday. Another is my Toshiba DVD laptop which I bring at my friends house and during long travel so that I can kill boring time by watching slashing, kicking, action-adventure Jet Li movies. My third and my most favorite is my Apple laptop which is the first portable computer that I had and I treat it as my most cherished treasure since I've been using it since college and it has been a witness and a friend to my transition as a geeky student to a geekier office employee. As a matter of fact, I've personalized my Apple laptop to make it distinct from my other two notebooks at home. Personalizing for me does not only mean putting a name tag on an object so that people will know that it's yours. It means putting a piece or a part of your self to something that you own to help people recognize that you and your thing are two inseparable properties.

What I did with my Apple laptop is I filled its cover with customized and artistically designed stickers from gift from friends or those that I buy in shops. I also put some of my favorite photos in it and the labels of my favorite products like Starbucks coffee, Calvin Klein and Hugo Boss perfumes, Levi Strauss jeans and Tommy Hillfiger shirts. You can actually do the same for your laptop by creating it as a sort of a scrapbook to make it more personal, like mine. If you're not artistic enough you can try buying stickers from Schtickers company which creates cool, trendy and hip stickers for portables like notebooks and iPods.

The sales of portable laptops and notebooks are tremendously growing like the rave reviews given by critics to the docu-trauma cum electoral campaign of Al Gore about the global warming phenomenon entitled "An Inconvenient Truth". But unlike the movie, I guess President George Bush will love the new series of laptop brands offered to the computer market. But aside from laptops, the boost in computer sales this year also came from the wide array of computer accessories whether that be for a desktop or for the portable one.

Everybody loves accessories, and aside form their cars, homes, high definition televisions, mobile phones, personal digital assistants, and even their own body, people put unnecessary accessories to their portable PCs. Especially to those who belong to the fashion world, the trendier and the sleeker the design of a laptop bag, the better case that it will be recorded in their credit card bill. But aside from bags, we also have keypads, mice, adapters, battery cases and laptop lights. I was surfing online shops last night, actually just checking for a Harry Potter mouse for my niece's portable laptop. She's a huge fan of that bespectacled wizard boy, and since it's her thirteenth birthday tomorrow, I want to give her a special gift. I saw one in the E-bay web site which costs only twelve euros. I was just amazed because we have this kind of accessories available for kids like my pretty niece.
