Although I don’t usually give in to peer pressure (if you forget high school…), this tasty morsel is just too good to pass up. The techie world is ablaze with hype over Google’s announcement yesterday that they will be releasing an operating system, Chrome OS, based on their Chrome browser with a tentative release date [...]

@Kristi-not really. Laptops don’t have dedicated graphics cards, and their graphics are built-in to the motherboard. The only way to upgrade would be to upgrade that… and because the motherboard is very particular to the case, manufacturer, etc. of the laptop, if you want better graphics you’re best off getting a new laptop.

There’s been a lot of hubbub and fanboyism recently over the release of the iPhone 3GS and the iPhone OS 3.0 software. I know loads of people who own iPhones, including a very good techie friend of mine and my brother (okay okay he only has an iPod touch, but big deal). I’ve used iPhones and [...]

I have quite the busy week ahead of me.  Tonight is my night to cook dinner. I still need to upgrade my laptop to the Windows 7 RC (which I downloaded a week ago) from Build 7077.  I need to reinstall Windows Mobile Device Center and sync my smartphone.  After that I need to build a new [...]

Sorry it has been such a long time.  However, now finals are over and I actually have some time to compile a couple postings. 

Last week I got OS X to work on my PC.  I browsed the torrent sites and found a certain .iso image called iPC 10.5.6 or something like that.  It has tremendous amounts [...]

Nice… my wife made more on Sunday with the same amount of apples and twice the “crisp.” So good.

Sorry it has taken so long to post on my progress for the triple boot project.  I have run into some snags on the next step – installing Mac OS X.  So, in the words of Ignacio from Nacho Libre – “Let’s get down to the nitty gritty…”

So now I have Linux Ubuntu 8.10 and [...]

My Initial Thoughts On Ubuntu

Today I started my triple boot project by installing Linux Ubuntu 8.10. I first used Windows 7’s disk management tool (by right clicking on “Computer” on the start menu and selecting “Manage”) to create 2 new partitions for the new operating systems and formatting them as FAT32 file systems. I then [...]

After reading a ZDNet blog posting today, I’m afraid to say that I have been inspired.  Apparently Dell Mini 9 owners have managed to install Mac OS X from a legitimate DVD with the only extra step being a simple bootloading program installation.  The best thing is that all of the Dell’s hardware is supported, and [...]

Welcome to Windows Express!  Let me know what YOU would like to hear about first.  I have a few projects in the works, including a review of the official Windows 7 Release Candidate sometime next month and a review of a pre-beta leak of Windows Mobile 6.5 running on my HTC Touch Pro (complete with [...]
