Good news to MSI Wind owners. The UMPC that initially shipped without overclocking features (even though other later models MSI produced had it) now has a bios updates that enable overclocking which boosts your Atom powered Wind performance up to 25 to 30%!
The overclock is done by pressing Fn+F10 on the keyboard with an AC power plugged in. This enables 8%, 15% and 24% (1984MHz compared to 1600MHz stock) automatic overclocking. Enabling a 24% overclock will roughly give you a 30% increase in performance. The new BIOS also enhances Wind's performance by approximately 5% over the older BIOS version 1.08. The only downside of this BIOS is that it changes the fan speed, so your Wind fan may appear to be louder even when it is not overclocked. You can download the new BIOS directly from MSI here, but if you intend to upgrade, read this guide first.

Crash of 1929 and 2008 compared
In his website, Trader Tom Hougaard compares the crash of 1929 with the current crash.
He writes, "
I had a look at the crash of 1929 and compared it with what we are seeing now. I must say that the repeat of history is astonishing. In 1929 we saw a crash in October, followed by a 2-day bounce, worth some 30%. The market then drifted lower and made a new low, before a multi-week rally ensued.
In 2008 we crashed into October, followed by a 2-day bounce worth some 26%. The market then drifted sideways lower, without making a new low, and made a significant bounce yesterday. Both charts are showing a classic pattern of a re-test of the lows, with one chart making slightly new lows, while the other doesn't. Both lows comes 10/11 days apart.
The Volkswagen Short Squeeze Play
Hedge funds have lost £18bn in two days of trading in Volkswagen (VW) shares that briefly saw the carmaker become the world's most valuable company. The damage from the head-on collision between many scores of hedge funds (and maybe some banks) is yet to become fully apparent. Some early estimates suggested that the losses from the “short squeeze” could be as much as €30 billion ($37.4 billion), although the final tally will probably be many billions less.
VW shares rose 348% over Monday and Tuesday after it emerged that only about 5% of its shares were available. It hit more than 1,000 euros per share (about $1,275) on Oct. 28, versus a 52-week low of around 144 euros (about $183). This gave VW the highest market capitalisation of any firm on the planet, far surpassing Exxon mobile which had a larger market cap compared to the whole lot of stocks listed in the PSEi.

Climate Change: The New Religion?
The Great Global Warming Swindle
Presently climate change and global warming is awarded the same reverence as established religion. No one dares challenge it, without risk of being called irresponsible, immoral, even heretic. It is presumed to be true, absolute, and inevitable.
And it has become a multi-billion dollar stake.
