Recent days I could not spend much on my favorite hobbies, including blogging, I have decided to go away from everything for a while and hope to get back soon. If you see this message on the top of my blog, I am not back yet.

Are you looking for a timepass techie hack that you could do when you are really bored?! No ?- skip this post. If you are ready, Read below. As Always, you are on your own when it comes to rick factor! Hey, who cares for a penny worth drive, lets try it. I got this from my favorite forum!
There are two types of CD-ROM drives we can mod:
-24x to 40x
-40x or higher
Drives slower than 24x are too old to be modded.
24x to 40x CD ROMs
Laser Head Adjustments:
The track pitch of CDs is 1.6 microns, and the track pitch of DVDs is only 0.8 microns. The minimum length of track pits of CDs is .843mm, and the minimum length of track pits of DVDs is 0.293mm. That's why DVD discs can store much more data in the size of a CD.
Pinpointing this situation, we need to adjust the laser head so it can read discs with smaller track pitchs and shorter track pits. Open up the CD-ROM drive, do you see a lens on the rail? That's the laser head. On the side of the laser head, there's a screw you can adjust.
This is the key of this mod.
This screw can adjust the size of the laser beam that lands on the disc. Referring to the above, after adjusting, the laser beam should be less than 0.293mm, to suit the needs of DVD discs. So turn that screw 2-3 times. I got this number through trial and error. Mark with a pencil, in case you forget how many times you turned that screw.
Speed adjustments:
DVD-ROM drives can play DVD movies smoothly at 4x speed. If we're modding a 32x CD-ROM drive, the rotation speed is obviously too high, increasing heat, and shortening the life of the drive. So we need to decrease the speed of it.
Most people know that power supplies can provide 5V (red wire) and 12V (yellow wire) electricity output for Molex connectors. Find the Molex connector you'll plug into the modded CD-ROM drive, cut the yellow wire or insulate it with tape, so only 5V of electricity is transferred to the CD-ROM drive. The speed of the drive is now 32 * 5/17 = 9.41x and can now fulfill our requirements.
40x or higher CD ROMs
When 40x CD-ROM drives are released, most manufacturers are already producing DVD-ROM drives. To lower cost, they use the same core as DVD-ROM drives with DVD functions disabled. What we need to do here is to re-enable the DVD function.
Open up the CD-ROM, behind the circuit board, look for a jumper that says DVD JUMP. Find a jumper to connect this jumper. Thin metal wire also works fine.
OK, so the DVD function is unlocked, but we still need to decrease the speed. Use the instructions above on how to decrease the speed of the drive.
-Modded drives cannot be detected in POST, that means you cannot use it in DOS. But once you get into Windows, the drive works fine.
-Modded drives have no region code problems.
-Modded drives MIGHT NOT read DVD - 9 discs, that's why I said you can watch most retail DVDs in the beginning.

Here are the Top 25 Highest Paid Men and I am not One of them :( .Surprised Google dudes are not one of them or did I miss it?. But if you check the top 5, they are all out of their highest jobs and settled somewhere else (or still looking!) - But I still hang on mine!
Well. Lets see what else is cooking. I recently came across this site while searching for a Used Car for my friend (Shan - Are you reading this!?) . What makes it different that Craigslist or AutoTrader or fleEbay? They have all Used Cars listed with Videos of the car condition. The better the video is the better the probability for more inquiries. You don't have to take time to visit the dealer or private party to actually see the car when it does not look good on the video. Obviously you don't see all the cars listed here but for the good looking ones and that makes life easier, isn't it!! Hey, after all the guys that started this company are students from Berkeley, MIT and Stanford. So you can see some good AJAX implementation on their site - looks cool! I like this one..
But you are on your own on buying the car that looks beautiful and had a hidden bad tranny or engine!! Do your rituals before you buy - take it to a mechanic, get it checked, bargain if they had any problems. Oh, you can search for Used Parts Cost and add approx $75 per hour fixing it.
The next site Zecco a Stock trading site (like Scottrade, Etrade) gives you ZERO fee trades! Of course there are some conditions - but looks simple
Account Balance - Equity Trades
$2,500 or more - 10 FREE per month & $4.50 each addtional.
Less than $2,500 - $4.50 each
No minimum IRAs with options trading privileges.
Accounts protected up to $35MM.
Looks good if you dont have any other account.

Well, Now as you read this post the iphone software unlock hit the web already and there is a huge line at Iphone Stores j/k.. Some of them were charging $50 for it while an Australian guy was charging $40. Last evening, some kids with too much time on their hands just reverse engineered the same code and decided to give out out for free!!
