Maggiepie @Maggiepie (7816) • United States 12 Feb 11

karank My memory is pretty short! All I remember is my days as a Year 7 student and after, before that, it's all a blur to me! I can't really recall anything from before I was 12.

karank The sentence means in a informal/angry manner, that the world is changing it's course from what it was. Eg: we pollute the world much more now, than we did before. That sentence could be used to express how much we pollute the air now days.

beamer88 @beamer88 (4259) • Philippines 7 Feb 11

Is it ill-advisable to just close the monitor of your laptop when you're done using it? I have this lazy habit of doing that especially when I feel sleepy. I don't even shut down the computer nor close all the programs that were...

karank No. This is not advisable at all, it gives more work for the processor to do - as it still has to maintain the system, just turn off the display. As well as this, by closing the lid, you're effectively using the OEM's way of turning the display off, then...

karank They say that eating sweets before sleeping is bad for your teeth, although - no one really cares about that. I personally do eat a snack before sleeping - because I'm pretty hungry - and I eat dinner a few hours before I go to sleep.

karank The iPad is a large version of the iPod Touch. I have one at home, it feels much larger, but I don't think it's a very practical device, because it's just a larger version of another product. Then again, anything with an Apple logo plastered on to it, calls...
