It does look simple and nice, and it works perfect under Firefox. But some buttons doesn’t work well on IE.

I tried several screen shot plugins for Firefox and conclude that LightShot is the best. It’s simple to use. First click the logo at the status bar. Then drag an area, and then save it or copy it. That’s it.

It’s also available for IE and as a standalone application.

I just use XOOM to send money to a friend in China. There are a lot of bad reviews about this service. I will update this post, see how it works.

UPDATE:

The testing result is good. My friend got a call the same day and then the second day the money went into his account. By the way, his account is Agricultural Bank of China and I use Paypal to pay for that.

CONCLUSION:

This service is terrific, it’s fast and it’s all online. So I would like to recommend to friends. But be careful about the currency rate.

Hot file might be the best free online file storage.

This book is just great! The authors are very careful with the explanations and they also made very good illustrations. Each chapter ends with the “Two-minute Drill” section and the exercises.

99 percent you should not use this software, if you are non resident alien, such as international students.
Several days ago, I tried TurboTax software. It is pretty cool. The users only need to answer very simple questions, and the software will generate the tax return automatically and produce the appropriate forms. However, one thing need to be careful. It is only good for US residant, international students need to use NR forms. The system doesn’t very clearly shows this, so be careful.

I spend one week to finish this book, this book is not as good as I expected. If you want to learn you can just use Netbeans and there is a lot of tutorials on the website.
