Tutorial: laptop battery recalibration

Many people wonder whether or not to use the laptop battery when it is plugged. Actually, it's okay to do so, since, once charged, the battery does not get more current and power flows directly to the system.
The only possible problem is the overheating of the computer. If you are playing titles with high graphic needs, the system temperature increases and therefore
the battery must be removed. 

Laptop batteries have a capacity gauge that lets you know with any accuracy the amount of energy stored inside. However, over time, this indicator loses accuracy. For example the user can be informed that the battery still has 10% capacity when in fact it has 5%. For it doesn't happen, it is necessary to use tasks of total discharge and a full charge every 30 discharge.

How to fully discharge the battery:

1- Charge the battery to full capacity and let the battery charged for at least two hours, so the temperature drops;

2- Remove the power adpter and put the computer into hibernation with minimal charge as possible. Use the power schemes in Windows or the Battery Care;

3- Let the battery
discharging;

4- After the computer turns off, turn it on only after about five hours. Connect the power adapter and charge the battery fully. This process ensures an increase in the lifetime of the battery

Windows 8 will be launched in October 2012

It's confirmed the launch of that is expected to be the best operating system ever produced by Microsoft. Windows 8 will be on the market in October.

The final version of  this windows will be lanched to desktop, lattops and tablets. This launch coincides with Christmas shopping season so manufacturers can create a timeline to make adaptations and adjustments

I like the new interface "Metro" but I have tested this windows on a virtual machine and is not very appropriated for a desktop. I hope that will be a option to select Metro or something similar to the actual desktop, because this windows is very light, and faster,  the metro interface it's more appropriated to tablets. On my pc i'll keep with windows 7 unless that will be the option refered before. Or maybe buy a tablet for Christmas.
