Google (Topeka)

I think that April Fools has fooled everyone on this morning of 4/1/2010. I just can’t believe how I woke up this morning expecting Google to be a Google logo on the homepage. Giving a thought or two I went onto Google and I saw “Topeka.” I was just stunned at the article written about why Google changed their logo to Topeka. I was so surprised because to me it seemed like it was real. So, I took a picture and sent a text to my mom from my cell to tell her that Google changed their logo to Topeka. My mom chuckled on the phone, then proceeded and said,”Jada did you forget that it was April fools?” I started to go nuts realizing that it was April Fool’s and Google was just making a joke. Ha ha ha, to Google. I was really spastic because I thought it was fun. Here is the logo below of what it looked like on 4/1/2010.

Hp Pavillion dv4000 computer, wireless button disabled

I just got a Hp Pavillion laptop and when I first turned it on I was having trouble with my wirless button. Then I tried this and it worked!!! Hope this helps!

How to I turn the wireless lan button back on after it has been disabled?

Oct 15, 2008 – Thanks for trying, but the wireless adapter is enabled, it’s the wireless LAN button that is disabled. If I push this button, it does not respond. I am also unable to enable it through HP Wireless Assistant.

Oct 25, 2008 – After one month of trying everything, I finally figures this one out. First turn off and restart your computer. Then press F10 to enter the System BIOS Settings. Select F9 (Setup Defaults) and when it asks Load Default Configuration Now? , Enter YES. Then, press F10 (Save and Exit) and when it asks Save Configuration Changes And Exit Now, Enter YES. This should restore the wireless LAN button to its original factory settings. Once you restart the computer the button will be listed as disabled, but press on the button and it should work again. I hope this helps someone else out!

Same Problem:

Mar 14, 2009 – Thanks for the post. My sis-in-law had the same problem and I couldn’t figure it out. Set the BIOS back to defaults and that did the trick. (DId have to turn the WLAN radio back on, but that was it.) – Guest

Dec 27, 2008 – The wireless network symbol stays orange even when the wireless is enabled (says “on”). This prevents the computer from accessing any networks and I can’t get online. – pkreadsalot

No polar ice this summer?

For the first time in human history, the North Pole’s ice may break apart completely.

Arctic ice could break apart completely at the North Pole this summer, allowing ships to sail over the normal frozen top of the world. Isn’t that a surprise?

It’s a 50-50 bet that the thin Arctic sea ice, which was frozen in autumn, will completely melt away at the geographic North Pole.

Reduced greenhouse gas emissions could cool things down a bit.

It would recover fairly quickly, but it’s just not going to happen for a while.

There are some positive aspects to the ice melting. Ships could use the Northwest Passage just to save some time and energy by no longer having to travel through the Panama Canal or around Cape Horn.

There’s also oil at the bottom of the Arctic Ocean that the irony of that is kind of clear, but the great fact that we are opening the Arctic Ocean makes it more accessible.
