Maximize A Window By Dragging Its Border To The Top Of The Screen, And Return The Window To Its Original Size By Dragging It Away From The Top Of The Screen. Drag The Bottom Border Of A Window To Expand It Vertically.

It's Easy To Copy Files Or Compare The Contents Of Two Windows By Dragging The Windows To Opposite Sides Of The Screen. As Your Cursor Touches The Edge, The Window Will Resize To Fill That half of the screen.

To See All Your Desktop Gadgets, Just Drag Your Mouse To The Lower Right Corner Of Your Desktop. That'll Make All The Open Windows Transparent—Making Your Desktop, And The Gadgets On It, Immediately Visible. Want To Minimize All Your Windows? One Click And It's Done.

1.f. Better Device Management

One Of The Great Things About PCs Is How They Let Us Use Such A Wide Array Of Devices. In The Past, You Had To Use Several Different Screens To Manage Different Types Of Devices. But With Windows 7, You'll Use A Single Devices And Printers Screen To Connect, Manage, And Use Whatever Printers, Phones, And Other Devices You Have On-Hand.

All Together Now: See All Your Devices In One Spot

A New Technology In Windows 7 Called Device Stage Takes Device Management A Step Further. Device Stage Helps You Interact With Any Compatible Device Connected To Your Computer. From Device Stage You Can See Device Status And Run Common Tasks From A Single Window. There Are Even Pictures Of The Devices Which Makes It Really Easy To See What's There. Here's A List Of Products That Take Advantage Of Device Stage.

Device Stage Puts Device Features Front And Center

1.g. HomeGroup

Setting Up A Home Network Can Be Complicated. With PCs Running Windows 7, A Home Network Will Be Easier To Setup And A Lot More Useful. HomeGroup Makes It Easier To Connect To Other Computers And Devices On A Wireless Home Network, So You Can Share Files, Photos, Music, And Printers Throughout Your Home. To Use HomeGroup, You’ll Need To Have At Least Two PCs Running Windows 7. Once You've Set Up A Homegroup, You Can Use The Network And Sharing Center To Choose What You Share With Other Homegroup Members.

2. WORK YOUR WAY:

2.a. Faster, More Responsive Performance

Nobody Likes To Wait. So Microsoft Focused On The Basics That Can Impact The Speed Of Your PC. Windows 7 Starts Up, Shuts Down, Resumes From Standby, And Responds Faster. You'll Have Fewer Interruptions And Can Recover More Quickly From Problems When They Do Occur Because Windows 7 Will Help You Fix Them When You Want.

2.b. Extended Battery Life

Performance Improvements Are About More Than Speed. For Example, Your Laptop Battery Lasts Longer With Power-Saving Features, Such As Adaptive Display Brightness, Which Dims The Display If You Haven't Used Your PC For A While.

Bright Idea: With A Display That Dims Automatically, You Get Longer Battery Life

2.c. Theme Packages Reflect Your Style

With Windows 7, You Start With A Clean DesktopAnd Get To Decide How It Looks. We Provide The Templates, Or Themes, And You Can Choose The Color Or Format, Including Whether You'd Like To Enjoy A Slideshow For Your Desktop Background.

New Theme Packages Include Rich Backgrounds, 16 Glass Colors, Sound Schemes, And Screensavers. You Can Download New Themes And Create Your Own To Share With Friends And Family. There Are Plenty Of Choices To Make It Yours.

By Design: Themes Give Your Desktop A Personal Touch

2.d. Take Control Of Problems

Many Of You Asked Microsoft To Stop Windows From Sending So Many Alerts And Messages And To Give You More Control Over Messages. In Windows 7, You Get To Choose The Messages You Want To See.

Even If You Don't Change A Thing, You'll Still See Fewer Notifications And Icons Popping Up Because The Action Center Consolidates Alerts From 10 Windows Features, Including Security Center And Windows Defender.

Rather Than Popping Up With A Message In The Lower Right Of Your Screen, If Windows 7 Needs Your Attention, You'll See An Action Center Icon And Can Find Out More By Clicking It. If You Don't Have Time To Look At The Alert Immediately, Action Center Will Keep The Information Waiting For You To Address Later.

Choose When You Receive Notifications

Simplifying Maintenance, Quieting The System: Action Center Consolidates Notifications

3. NEW POSSIBILITIES

3.a. Share Music And Videos

One Of The Great Things About PCs Is How They Help You Put Your Pictures, Videos, And Music In One Place. Once Everything Is In That Spot, It's Natural To Want To Share It All With Other PCs In Your Home. Windows 7 Helps You Do It. Windows 7 Introduces New Media Sharing Features That Make Your PC A Great Hub For Experiencing Audio, Video, And Pictures Throughout Your Home. So, When You Set Up A Homegroup Or Stream Media From Windows Media Player, You Can Enjoy Your Music, Pictures, And Videos On Other Computers Running Windows 7 And Other Devices In Your Home.

Share Your Media Without Losing Control

3.b. Windows Touch

While Great For A Lot Of Tasks, Using A Keyboard And Mouse Is Not Always The Easiest Way To Do Things. If You've Got A Touch-Screen Monitor, You Can Just Touch Your Computer Screen For A More Direct And Natural Way To Work. Use Your Fingers To Scroll, Resize Windows, Play Media, And Pan And Zoom. Large Touch-Sensitive Areas On The Start Menu And The Taskbar Make It Easy To Use.

Touch Your Computer Screen When You'd Rather Not Use A Mouse

3.c. Handwriting Recognition Additions

Handwriting Recognition Takes A Big Step Forward In Windows 7. Beginning With Greater Accuracy And Speed, Windows 7 Improves Pen Input In Several Ways. You Can Write Math Expressions, Create Personalized Custom Dictionaries For Handwriting Recognition, And Use The New Languages Supported In Windows 7. Of Course, You Can Also Use The Pen To Just Make A Quick List.

Just Jot It Down

AYUMI HAMASAKI IN THE HOUSE`~!

Zodiac: Libra
Nickname: Ayu

Favorite Women Entertainer: Keiko (Globe), Rie Miyazawa, Seiko Matsuda

Biography:
Despite Her Child-Like Persona, You Can't Help But Sense Hamasaki Was Never Truly A Child. Born In Fukuoka On The Southern Island Of Kyushu, She Was Just A Toddler When Her Father Walked Out. "I Don't Even Know If He's Dead Or Alive," She Says. Raised By A Single Mother And A Grandmother, She Began Modeling Locally At Seven, In Part To Earn Money For The Family. It Was An Unusual And Lonely Childhood In This Country Of Steadfastly Nuclear Families, But Hamasaki Says She Wasn't Aware Of What She Was Missing. "I Thought Mommy's Life Was Strange, Not Mine," She Says. "I Didn't Understand My Loneliness Until I Moved To Tokyo." Hamasaki Made That Move At 14 To Pursue An Acting And Modeling Career. Old Magazine Spreads Feature The Sweetly Smiling Young Starlet Clad In Bathing Suits Or Prim Outfits That Would Never Make It To Her Own Wardrobe. After Bit Parts In Five Low-Budget Movies And A Handful Of TV Dramas, She Tired Of Acting And, With Her Tiny Frame, Did Not Have A Future In Modeling. Canned By Her Talent Agency And Dropping Out Of School In The 10th Grade, Hamasaki Frittered Away Her Days Shopping At Trendy Shibuya Boutiques And Her Nights Dancing At The Massive Velfarre Nightclub In Roppongi.

Then a Friend Who Worked At The Club, Owned By The Record Label Avex, Invited Her Out For A Night Of Karaoke That Forever Changed Her Life. The Friend Had Also Invited Masato ("Max") Matsuura, Who Introduced Himself To Hamasaki As A Producer. "I'd Never Heard Of Avex," Hamasaki Recalls, Laughing. "When He Asked If I Wanted To Pursue A Singing Career, I Said, 'No way.' He Was This Older Guy, And I Thought The Whole Thing Sounded Fishy." Over The Following Year, Though, Matsuura Persisted. Finally She Relented To His Request That She At Last Attend Vocal Training, Only Because "I Had Nothing Better To Do." But The Classes Were Dull And The Teachers Harsh. "I Felt Like I'd Gone Back To School," She Says. "If There Are Rules And Regulations, I Can't Help It, I Want To Break Them."

Finally She Confessed To Matsuura That She'd Skipped Most Of The Classes. But Instead Of Writing Her Off, He Proposed Sending Her To New York For Some Real Training. "I Thought He Was Kidding," She Says. "I Mean, I Was 17." Reluctantly She Went, Staying In A Midtown Hotel For Three Months, Taking Singing Classes A Few Blocks Away. "New York Was A Relief-Not All Hierarchical And Rule-Bound," She Says. When Hamasaki Returned To Japan, Matsuura Proposed Another Challenge. Because She Has Trouble Voicing Her Thoughts, Hamasaki Had Over That Year Corresponded With Matsuura Through Letters, Which Must Have Echoed Of Simple Yet Poignant Lyrics. "He Read Them And Said, 'Why Don't You Try Writing Songs?'" The Idea That She Could Express Herself In Song Imbued Her With A New Sense Of Direction. "No One Had Ever Asked Anything Of Me Before, Or Expected Anything Of Me," She Says Of Matsuura, Whom Hamasaki And Everyone At Avex Calls By His Title, Senmu, Or Managing Director. "Part Of Me Was Flattered; Part Of Me Was Terrified But Didn't Want To Admit I Couldn't Do It. Plenty Of People Had Patted My Head And Said, 'Aren't You Cute.' Senmu Gets Mad, But When He Praises Me, I Know I've Won It. He's Whe One Who Found Me And Drew Me Out." He Stuck By Her, Too, When Superstardom Didn't Occur Overnight. Her First Two Singles In 1998 Stopped At No. 20 On The Charts; Her Next Four Barely Broke The Top 10. Then Love~Destiny~ Busted Into The No. 1 Slot In April 1999, And Every One Of Her Singles Have Hit The Top Ever Three Since. The Responsibilities That Came With Her Ascension As A Recording Star Were A Fair Trade-Off For The Joyous Release Of Writing. "The 'Hi, This Is Ayu' Person On TV," She Says, Slipping For A Moment Into Her Alter Ego's Nasal, Anime-Character Voice, "Is The Person I Know They Want To See. I Understand It's My Role To Realize People's Dreams. I'm O.K. With That So Long As My Songs Are My Own. No One Can Take My Song Away From me."

She Is Complicit In The Brutal Arithmetic Of Fame: Trading The Freedom She Cherished For The Right To Tell Her Story Through Songs. Indeed, She Has Transcended Mere Songstress Status And Become Something Even More Venerated In Our Consumer Driven Society. "It's Necessary That I Am Viewed As A Product," She Says. "I Am A Product."

SYNYSTER GATES

Wew`~! Hye Hye Hye.. Yare Yare`~! Hurm... Setelah Berhempas Pulas, Bersusah Payah, Bermati-Matian, Siap Jugak Post Me Pasal Avenged Sevenfold Sebelum Ni.. Wakakakakaka`~! Orayt, Kali Ni Me Mo Kongsi Pasal Synyster Gates`~! Taw Ker Saper Manusia Tu? Huhu..Kalau Nak Taw, Keep Readin My Post Bout Him~! Wew`~! (Nota: Post Ini Dibuat Atas Permintaan ^XynDee^)

Brian Elwin Haner, Jr., Better Known By His Stage Name Synyster Gates Or Simply Syn Is An American Musician. He Is Currently The Lead Guitarist For Hard Rock Band Avenged Sevenfold. He Attended Mayfair High School In Lakewood, California.

Haner Attended, But Did Not Graduate From, The Musicians Institute In Hollywood As Part Of The GIT Program, Studying Jazz Guitar. Up Until That Time He Was Primarily Self Taught By Watching Music Videos & Reading Books, Which Is Surprising Because His Father Was/Is A Songwriter & Guitar Player, Having Played With Frank Zappa During His Career. After Six Or So Months Of Being There, He Got A Phone Call From The Rev (And The Rest Of The Current Line Up Of Avenged Sevenfold) Asking Him If He Wanted To Join The Band As Lead Guitarist. Haner Joined Up With Them Rather Than Continuing His Education And Becoming A Studio Musician.

Haner Joined Avenged Sevenfold (A7X) When He Was 18 At The End Of 1999, Right Before The Recording Of The Band's First Album, Sounding The Seventh Trumpet. He Was Featured On Their EP, "Warmness On The Soul", And On The Reissue Of Their First Album. He Also Plays Piano For The Band On Songs Such As "Beast And The Harlot" And "Sidewinder", Though A Friend Of The Band, Bassist Justin Meacham, Played The Piano On Warmness On The Soul.

In The Avenged Sevenfold DVD All Excess, To Emphasize The Seemingly Random Placing Of Names, Haner Stated That His Name Was Thought Of On A Drunken Drive Through The Park With The Rev. His Exact Words Were: "I Am Synyster Gates, And I Am Awesome!"

Haner Cites Django Reinhardt, Dimebag Darell, Slash, John Petrucci, Adam Aparicio And Francis Canavan As His Favorite Guitarists And Major Influences. He Has Won Numerous Awards, Including The "Young Shredder" Award Of The Year In The Metal Hammer Awards In 2006 And The "Guitarist Of The Year" Award For Total Guitar Magazine In 2006. In June 2008 Guitar World Magazine Interviewed Haner, Reader Shawn Butterfield Asked "You're One Hell Of A Guitarist. But Who Do You Really Look Up To?" To Which He Responded "Definitely Slash, The Ozzy Guitar Dudes, Alexi Laiho From Children Of Bodom, Jimi Hendrix Of Course, Dimebag Darrell From Pantera, Jimmy Page From Led Zeppelin, A Lot Man!"

Haner Was Also A Member Of The "Goblin Metal" Side-Project Pinky Smooth With The Rev And Justin Meacham. Pinkly Smooth Was Disbanded Because Haner And The Rev Wished To Focus Full-Time On Avenged Sevenfold, Although When Asked Recently, They Both Revealed There Is A New Side Project Being Planned, Featuring The Two Playing Older Pinkly Smooth Tunes.

Haner Has A Younger Brother Brent And A Younger Sister McKenna. His Father, Brian Haner Sr., Is A Musician And Comedian Known As "Guitar Guy", And Was Recently On Tour With Jeff Dunham.
