Flickering Mouse Pointer Problem (Ubuntu 13.10)

-
Ubuntu 13.10 has just released. Yet, as lately happen to Ubuntu, bugs keep on appearing. There is a very noticeable and annoying bug that happened to Ubuntu 13.10, at least on my Asus Laptop. The mouse pointer will flicker indefinitely and will sometimes missing. It's very troublesome especially when we try to browse a website and go to the specific links or buttons.

 Thankfully, there is a workaround for this. The good thing, it is very simple and does not need any advanced Linux expertise. Below are the steps:

  1. Open the System Preferences.
  2. Open the Display setting that is located at the Hardware section.
  3. Choose the unknown monitor and DISABLE it.
  4. Click on the Apply button and choose to keep the configuration when asked.
That's all. Hopefully it's helpful and feel free to add if there are other methods to solve this annoying problem.

Enjoy....

macOS Sierra Picture in Picture

MacOS Sierra (10.2) is the latest iteration from Apple. It comes with a lot of new features, one of which is the picture in picture  mode. This feature allows you to watch video while doing other tasks. The video player will be layered on the top of the screen while you can do any tasks behind it. You can resize the player as well as move the player to the location that is comfortable for you. In this post, I will use an example of playing a Youtube video using this picture in picture mode. This is pretty simple to achieve. What you have to do is just look for a video to play, play the video, right click on the video, and choose the Enable Picture in Picture mode. Note that sometimes you might want to right click TWO (2) times in order for the correct context menu to show. You can refer to this video on how this can be easily achieved.

I bought AirPods in hope to use it when I'm doing exercise. Furthermore, listening to music while exercising is something that most of us are doing. Unfortunately, things are not always going as expected. I have been using AirPods during my morning jogging for quite some time. I sweat a lot, really a lot. I notice that slowly, corrosion mark starts appearing on my AirPods, both sides of them (left and right). Intermittently, any side or sometimes both of them cannot be charged. I need to keep pulling out and put back in the device to trigger the charge. I bought this device on last November. To test my luck, I brought this device to Apple Store here in Malaysia. The guy said, since this is a
