I’m not one to argue about HDs and the way they are delivered (since they are fragile by nature, and should be taken care/packed nicely), however this bothers me. Last week I ordered a bulk HD from amazon and I needed it to come next day (was building a system for my friend). Not only was the HD late cause of shipping issues, but it was shipped in a tiny box with virtually no padding in it. I could only image if this was shipped via standard shipping (ground) what it could have looked like.
Luckily I tested the HD out full (took 3 hours or so) and it had no issues. Next time I think I may go with the egg no matter what the price.
Take a look at these pictures…(taken with the iPhone 3GS)
Well, I always been a big fan of Firefox for the longest time, and I still am. However some things don’t really like Firefox and I have been hesitant to upgrade IE6 since it just “works” a good percent of the time at work (web application issues). However it appears I may have no choice to upgrade. A few sites, from what it sounds like, are going to stop supporting IE6, and if thats the case – I am going to have my hands full upgrading a bunch of machines to IE 7 or 8.
Today is day 2 an I was hoping to hear from Ballmer about Windows 7 RTM. However nothing has been said about it yet and I was very confident that it will be released the 13th or the 14th. However things never turned out as planned, and as the Windows Blog stated:
We are close, but have not yet signed off on Windows 7. When we RTM you will most certainly hear it here. As we’ve said all along, we will RTM Windows 7 when it’s ready. As previously stated, we expect Windows 7 to RTM in the 2nd half of July.
Oh well, it looks like we have to wait a bit more…hehe 🙂
Well, after using the phone for about a few weeks, I noticed some battery issues people have been talking about. Of course it depends on use, but I think it still does pretty decent job for a device this small, and powerful. In short, I am very happy with this device, and I am happy about the purchase. I just wish the 3G was better in my area, but you can’t get everything you want these days… (picture was taken at another location)
I was working on installing a non-server OS on a server. I needed server based hardware, but not server based OS (long story). Needless to say, it worked… All drivers installed including the LSI SCSI, and the NetExtreme NIC. However there was this one device that I could not find. Finally I looked at the DEV ID and did a search.
After a bit more investigating and searching I found my answer. I will post the ID along with inf in a few 🙂
