how to get twitter followers

Okay, this is not a tutorial to teach you how to get twitter followers actually, my apology.
Although we read some where in blog/web/news papers that we can actually buy twitter followers using money. Some of you might already seen that, but some might not. So here is my story:

Someone that I added in twitter recently (because he/she followed me first, so I followed him/her back as a polite manner) is promoting a company that provide twitter followers with a price.
Start with 500 twitter followers with USD$50 only, up to 10000 followers with USD$450. The more twitter follower, the cheaper! This company even guarantee that the followers you get is real, that will read your updates and even visit your website or possible buy your products. Who say you can't buy friends with money? :P

Here is the snapshot of the website:

Show Desktop in Windows 7

I have migrated to Windows 7 recently, and was a jump straight from Windows XP, not Vista. It is not really a struggling process for me because of a lot of different between Windows XP and Windows 7, because I am OutdatedPenangUncle!
Just joking. :)
Seriously, with the help of search engines, I can get the answers to a lot of questions and issues on Windows 7 and solve it instantly.
One of the big problem I have with Windows 7 is the desktop icons will lost it's locations during switching screen resolution and/or toggling between single and extended windows, I haven't have the solution yet, because I tried a few so-called solutions but they are not working. I will post the solution once I find out, so stay tune or please subscribe to the feed (http://feeds.feedburner.com/OutdatedPenangUncle).
Another problem with Windows 7 is the missing "Show Desktop" button from taskbar. I found a few so-called solutions, but it is not what I wanted. What I want is a click and the it minimize all the windows! And then I found out that the "Show Desktop" button has been moved to the right most of the taskbar, yes, it is the small rectangular on the right most of the taskbar. Go ahead click it and click it again to get a fell of it. You got it? Great! Thanks for reading.
I am using Windows 7 Enterprise btw.

HTC Sense UI for PC

For HTC or HTC Sense UI fans out there, now you can have it on your desktop/PC/laptop. You can run it on WinXP and Win7.
Here is the print screen of it.

Basically it has the time, date and weather only. The time and date are based on your PC/laptop, but the weather is from either Accuweather or MSN. So internet connection is needed to have the weather update. You can choose weather of which place you want it to show and how often to update it.

For Win7, you can right away use the 2.0. I tried the 2.0 version but it require .NET framework 4.0 on my WinXP. I tried to install .NET 4.0, but having problem to install it on my WinXP SP3.
