Remembering my lab class in college

All these laboratory equipment makes me recall my college days when we still had science laboratory subjects. I have to admit that the only lab class that I enjoyed back then was my chemistry lab subject and it was mostly because we were taught how to mix elements.

All these lab equipment look either fragile or complex but to a scientist, he probably enjoys using them like his very own toys.

Can We Stop Botnet Shutdowns?

We can't anticipate the kind of virus that might destroy our computer. It is really a terrible encounter if that happens.

I think every computer user should be wise enough in detecting the cyber threat because this is something that they should not take for granted. Otherwise, the computer will get damaged.
