Rule of 72 is the most popular financial method to estimate time required to double an investment at a given interest rate, or halve the savings at a given inflation rate.
- Years to double = 72 divided by Interest Rate (in percentage), e.g. it takes 12 years to double an investment at 6% interest rate.
- Years to halve = 72 divided by Inflation Rate (in percentage), e.g. it takes 12 years to halve an investment at 6% inflation rate.

Malaysia will very soon be launching WIMAX service, in August 2008 as seen in the recent PC Fair 2008 (II) at KLCC. There are a lot of media coverage about WIMAX in Malaysia, and all 4 licensees are working hard to roll it out soon. When I did a search in The Edge Daily, with search from 1st January 2008, it looks like Packet One, also known as P1, is standing out from the other 3 licensees awarded by Malaysian Communications And Multimedia Commission.
With the news releases about P1’s WIMAX, their showcase in the WCIT 2008 and PC Fair 2008 (II) in KLCC were attracting a lot of interest from Malaysian public. They have determined to achieve the Government’s target to cover 25% of population by end of year 2008, and to achieve at least 60% within the next 5 years. One of our pro-blogger, Mr. Liew CF, who has a very popular blog (http://www.liewcf.com/) and could be the first full time blogger in Malaysia, had a hands-on test during his visit to PC Fair 2008 (II) in KLCC, and his comment was positive. Read his first trial at http://www.liewcf.com/blog/archives/2008/08/back-from-pikom-pc-fair-2008-ii-klcc/

The first sight of ProSense Blue theme from the screenshot did not entice me at all. However, I am not contented with the theme I have been using for the last few weeks as the earnings have never improved. In addition, I am still using an old version of Wordpress version 2.0, because I am worried and still hesitate to upgrade to the latest version 2.5. After exhaustive search from Google for search engine optimized themes with Adsense enabled, there are not much choices as free of charge. But ProSense keeps showing up with Google search.

I have found another good piece of computer cleaner freeware for all surfers, from “idiots” to “expert”, without and with little knowledge.
If you are looking for a all-in-one freeware to get rid of malware, spyware, adware, unused drivers, and anything that slows down your computer, this is my favourite recommendations. In addition, it frees up your valuable hard disk space, and bring back the normal speed of the computer to you. Your computer with Windows will be running faster, by cleaning up all traces of your online activities (visited sites, cookies, temporary files) in Internet Explorer, Opera and FireFox. It is also a very good and loyal registry cleaner.
