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)
Forum
Soon I will add a forum to help users ask questions, or to address concerns regarding topics that were spoken about. I will let everyone know when its up and running.

IBM “unknown device”
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 🙂
UPDATE:
ID: ACPI\ASF0001\2&DABA3FF&0

IPhone 3Gs heating issues
Well, I read online that a number of people are suffering from heating issues with there new 3Gs. I have been fortunate and appear not to have those issue at this time, but I don’t use the phone a lot either – nor do I leave it around.
They have already released a support article about acceptable operating temperatures:

If this is indeed an ongoing issue, I am sure Apple will do something for everyone. If not, then I guess people will start loosing interest in the IPhone and maybe go to the Pre, Blackberry, or some other smart phone 😛
BIOS password for Dell Latitude CPi
I was looking around for a way to bypass the password for my friends old Dell CPi laptop. I finally found a site that has it, but the zip file was corrupt 🙁 So I was looking around some more and I finally found it. (Found it here)
I am adding this to my bog cause it took me awhile to find the correct utility, and plus the file was “wild” on the internet anyway.
You need two things to make this work right:
1) A serial number ending with -D35B
2) The utility itself.
If you have a serial number ending with anything other than -D35B then I don’t think this is going to work (sorry to say). The only other way is to short out EEPROM.
For the utility, all you need to enter is the service tag of the machine following by the -D35B. For example, if on screen it says ZFRYX**-D35B then you enter that info when prompted by the program. You will then get a password to use and then you can unlock the PC.
