Daily Internet Digest

The rise of Youtube’s popularity, not only to teenagers but to all ages indefinitely, has been proven by the millions of viewers they receive everyday. Almost everyone can post in the said website, from personal videos to videos ripped from the television, as long as the person has a username. It is a fact that Youtube receive so many hits every month as some of their videos already have as much as 8,000,000 views.

The problem with this “access for all” website is that some use it to gain fame. In Florida, there was this girl who was beaten by a gang of teenaged cheerleaders. The teenaged cheerleaders professed afterwards that their main aim on why they hit the girl and videotaped it was so that they could post the video on Youtube.

The Intel 82801GBM SATA AHCI Controller (Mobile ICH7M) driver seems to be the one you’re looking for.  You desire to put that on a CD or floppy and when you start installing xp the blue screen with white text appears on the far end “Press F6 if you need to install a SCSI or RAID driver….” press F6 and put in your disk with the sata driver. I found plenty of sites with the driver download by just googling “Intel 82801GBM SATA AHCI Controller (Mobile ICH7M)”.

People with notebooks usually don’t have a USB Floppy to install SATA drivers from, so you will also have to use nLite to merge them with install CD, or search in BIOS Setup for an entry like “SATA Native mode” and set it to disabled – that will allocate legacy software to detect your HDD as a normal PATA drive.

You have to install the SATA driver earlier than turning the native support off.

The California Department of Motor Vehicles has its own YouTube account. As of today, it has already uploaded 55 videos that feature tips, traffic trivia, and other advices that will help educate drivers of all ages about good (and not to mention legal) driving skills and etiquette.

And by the way, they also have a myspace account where visitors can post questions regarding traffic rules and stuff.

Hmm… not a bad idea! I think this is a pretty unconventional yet promising way to improve public service. To tell you the truth, I’d rather watch DMV videos than a toilet-flushing cat.
