Purchased Samsung N128 Mini Laptop

Updated by: Alex George on December 30, 2009

I purchased a Netbook from Samsung(Samsung N128) two weeks ago, and I think it is time to write a review of it.

It is travel-friendly because of its small size, and nowadays I need to travel a lot. While on a journey, it is difficult to carry my laptop because of its size. So, I planned to go for a mini laptop.

I found many products that suit my travel needs.

After checking different brands, I decided to buy Samsung N 128. You must be interested in knowing my experience with it.

Let me share my review of the Samsung N 128 netbook with you. So, you can find out if this product is suitable for you. The below picture shows what it looks like.

We are having trouble playing this video right now. Please try again or select another content.

Samsung N128 Mini Laptop Review

It is working better than I expected. At first, I failed to find a WiFi adapter driver compatible with Windows 7. The setup disc has only the Windows XP version of the Wireless adapter driver.

I downloaded the latest version of the wireless adapter driver from the manufacturer's website. I must say, the speaker volume is lower than I expected. It has a 1.5-watt speaker. The volume is low, and I need a headset to hear the sound properly. The next point I want to point out is about battery backup.

Detect If Your Yahoo Messenger Chat Contact in Invisible Mode or Offline

Updated by: Alex George on June 29, 2009

Yahoo Messenger was once one of the most popular online chat platforms. Although Yahoo discontinued its public chat room feature, many users continued to use it.

In this article, I will discuss several tools that could determine the status of Yahoo Messenger contacts.

I will teach you to find whether they were online, offline, or in invisible mode.

How Do I Detect an Invisible Yahoo User?

Julia Sebastian, a regular reader of CoreNetworkz Tech Solutions, asked, "Hello Alex, is there any trick to find an invisible Yahoo user?"

The answer is yes.

When a user chooses invisible mode, Yahoo Messenger displays her as offline. However, specialized "invisible detector" tools could identify whether a contact was truly offline or appearing that way.

These tools helped users figure out if a contact was intentionally avoiding conversation.

Hannah Maria, a reporter at CoreNetworkZ Tech Solutions, told me, "I use these Yahoo status checker tools to find whether a person blocked me on Yahoo."

Hannah is right.

For instance, if a contact appeared offline in your messenger but one of these tools detects her as online, the person had likely blocked you.

Free Yahoo Invisible Status Checkers

Let me share some of my favorite tools for checking Yahoo user's online status. They are ydetector.com, imvisible.info, detectinvisible.com, who-is-invisible.co.cc, and ybuddy.info.

These platforms allowed users to check whether a Yahoo Chat contact was using invisible mode.

  1. Yahoo Messenger Invisible Detector (YDetector) – Check YM User Status

    YDetector is a free online tool that checks the status of a Yahoo Messenger (YM) user ID. If a contact is in invisible mode, the tool can detect and indicate that the user is not offline.

    Below is a screenshot demonstrating how the tool displays a status of 'offline' when a user is signed off.

    yahoo invisible

    If the user is truly signed out, the status will appear as Offline. Similarly, the tool can detect if a contact is 'Available' or in Busy mode.

  2. Check the Status of a YM User with Imvisible

    Imvisible is another free and widely used web-based tool that allows you to check the real-time status of any YM user ID. Like YDetector, it identifies whether a user is online, offline, or hidden in invisible mode.

  3. Detect Yahoo Messenger Status with DetectInvisible

    DetectInvisible is another effective tool for verifying a Yahoo Messenger contact's status. It not only displays whether the user is online, offline, or invisible but also allows users to save the avatar of the checked Yahoo contact.

    Below is a screenshot example showing a user detected as Online.

    detector yahoo invisible messenger

    Link: http://detectinvisible.com/

William Brown, a client of CoreNetworkz Tech Solutions, mentioned, "It is helpful to determine whether a Yahoo Messenger contact is genuinely offline or simply using invisible mode."

I agree with William.

Some users might appear hidden because they are genuinely busy and unable to chat—while others may have chosen to block you from viewing their real status.

Fix System UI isn't Responding Error

By analyzing the results returned by these detection tools, you can often infer whether a friend has deliberately hidden their availability or potentially blocked you altogether.

I recall your attention to what Hanna told me. She uses these tools to determine if a Yahoo user blocked her.

In addition to the tools previously mentioned, many other free utilities can help check the real-time status of Yahoo Messenger contacts. Some of these include:
