Call For Help: #31033 by Lee Ann - Dead Computer (Gateway GT5228)
| QUOTE | | The CPU is a gateway gt5228. It was asking for system recovery cd but I had to move the computer which meant turning it off and unplugging it.

| QUOTE | | Kevin asks: After the issues of FF7, will you take the risk with 8? |
| QUOTE | | From zdnet.co.uk: The catastrophic flooding in Thailand will lead to "a significant shortage" of hard disk drives, according to IHS iSuppli, A US-based market research company. This will cause HDD prices to rise by about 10 percent in this year's fourth quarter. However, iSuppli believes there are sufficient stockpiles to avoid any disruption in the supply of notebook PCs. |
| QUOTE | | From usatoday.com; Adobe says it will no longer develop Flash for mobile gadgets and will focus instead on open HTML5 technology to power web video and site design. The move is a victory of sorts for Apple, whose late co-founder, Steve Jobs, railed against Flash as outdated technology and a battery hog. |
| QUOTE | From computerworld.com: Microsoft today delivered four security updates that patched four vulnerabilities in Windows, most of them affecting the newer editions of Vista and Windows 7.

30213 - Call For Help - By Kevin - Prob. w/ Links in Gmail
| QUOTE | This problem started yesterday. I use Gmail in Firefox (latest version). Before yesterday, when I clicked on a link in Gmail, it would open up a new tab. Now, it opens up a new window, which is annoying to say the least. My Firefox settings are correct ("open new windows in a new tab instead" is checked) and I did not see any relevant settings in Gmail. Suggestions?
UPDATE: The problem resolved itself. Kevin |
30227 - By David - Tablets under $350 USD
| QUOTE | Hello, I am apparently getting a tablet/reader as a x-mas gift from my family as they have been hinting around asking what I would like in a device. What in the opinion of the group would be a good universal tablet under $350? |
30229 - Android OS is the best option within a $350 budget.
30231 -by Bill aka ridingduo in Grand Junction, Colorado
| QUOTE | The second generation Asus Transformer is due out this holiday season, but may not hit the shelves till after the New Year.
As far as (affordable) Android based tablets go, waiting for this release might be the best bet.
I know "I'm" waiting for it and will probably have a hard time keeping both cheeks planted on this fence once it finally comes out.
I just got my first Android phone a few months ago, the Motorola Triumph through Virgin Mobile (with a VERY affordable $25/mo. plan) and really look forward to this next generation tablet.
What I'm really hoping for in this new release is for the ability to connect a usb 3G dongle like the pay-per-use type Virgin Mobile offers.
Whether or not it will have that option still remains to be seen. |
30257 - Samsung, Google Serve Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0) - YouTube Videohttp://youtube.com/watch?v=-F_ke3rxopc | QUOTE | | Samsung's high-end Galaxy Nexus handset, unveiled Wednesday, is the first smartphone to run Google's latest Android operating system. Dubbed "Ice Cream Sandwich," this version will unify the tablet and smartphone versions of Google's mobile operating system. See the phone and the operating system in action in this YouTube video. |

He was credited in Toy Story (1995) as an executive producer. |
| QUOTE | | Steve Jobs will be remembered as a titan of business, of course.

| QUOTE | | When asked about the report, a Facebook spokesman told PCMag that, "From time to time, we see stories about Facebook losing users in some regions. Some of these reports use data extracted from our advertising tool, which provides broad estimates on the reach of Facebook ads and isn't designed to be a source for tracking the overall growth of Facebook. We are very pleased with our growth." |
| QUOTE | | From The Wallstreet Journal Online: Atari, whose games have faded from prominence since their early '80s heyday, is reinventing its classic software titles—like "Pong," "Battlezone" and "Asteroids"—for new game platforms. Key targets include Apple Inc.'s iPhones and iPads and Facebook Inc.'s social-networking site. |
| QUOTE | | From computerworld.com: Microsoft released 11 patches for Internet Explorer last Tuesday. Hackers are now trying to exploit one of the patched flaws. The flaw affects IEs 6-8. Those who have not patched their systems yet are vulnerable. |

Among the improvements is a do not track feature, a redesigned user interface, and enhanced background features such as support for CSS animations.

There had been talk last year about whether the Linux kernel development team should call time on the 2.6 version of the Linux kernel, with some having suggested that 2.8 should be the next major version number. Now Torvalds has made the decision that the next major Linux kernel release will be 3.0. |
| QUOTE | | From computerworld.com: Samsung has asked a judge to force Apple to turn over future product designs. It wants to see the next iPhone and iPad. The judge recently forced Samsung to show Apple future product designs. The two companies are locked in a patent and trademark dispute. |
| QUOTE | | Kevin asks: Would that not be like Pepsi demanding Coke reveal to them their secret formula and then asking a judge to make it happen when they rightfully refused? |
| QUOTE | | In #29518, Zombie agrees: Yes, shouldn't it be tit for tat? If the judge made Samsung give Apple their plans and designs, Apple SHOULD give Samsung theirs. Fair is fair.. |

DSL customers get 150 gigabytes of data transfer per month; U-Verse subscribers get 250GB. AT&T will bill $10 extra for each 50GB overage. Users will receive alerts when they go over their monthly usage allotment.. |
| QUOTE | Reply #29371 by Zombie: I really don't get this, I didn't get it when Comcast cancelled my account for going over bandwidth usage, and I don't get it now. Are we running low on bandwidth? Didn't IPv5 or whatever it is called kick in most markets by now? I will say this, at least AT&T is sending alerts when users go over, instead of just canceling your account, deleting all your online storage pics, email accounts, etc, the way Comcast did me.
I have a computer, my wife has a computer, my kids have 2 desktops and a laptop, not counting my wife's Blueray player, 2 PS3's and an X-Box 360. With so many apps nowadays.... Netflix, Vudu, etc... It's getting hard to NOT use a ton of bandwidth. But really.... Are we running out of Internet bandwidth? |
| QUOTE | Reply #29377 by Lionel: AT&T is one of only a few backbone service providers in the US. This means almost all the internet traffic in America will eventually traverse their lines. They don't want to invest in there infrastructure "pipes". They would rather "rape" the end users and keep their bandwidth speeds low and prices high, than bring faster speeds and lower prices to customers.
With the advent of all these new devices they cannot handle the increased traffic without upgrading. Thus they are starting to cap users. They can't throttle the speed because its illegal so they will cap your usage and then charge you when you go over. |
| QUOTE | | From mercurynews.com: The SETI Institute will stop scanning the skies for signs of extraterrestrial civilizations. That is because it is not getting enough government support to continue. This comes as hundreds of planets deemed potentially hospitable to life have been discovered. |
Thanks to Eric and Chris Canni for contributing to the thread.#29376: Seagate to Ship 3TB Hard Drive | QUOTE | | From computerworld.com: Seagate has unveiled a 3-terabyte hard drive. It is the first 3.5-inch drive to use 1-terabyte platters. The drive will ship within the next few months. Pricing has not been disclosed. |

Call For Help: In Msg #29277 by Jamie asks: What would be the best way for a person to share files on the internet?
| QUOTE | | Would you recommend Dropbox, or some similar service? A few people have asked me this question. They want to share with family & friends their photo albums, and videos, and perhaps music. |
Answer: Dropbox is good, you need to run their app to use it properly. Megaupload or rapidshare work in a pinch. MS SkyDrive is great. Google Docs is another option.#29275 by Kevin: Commodore Is Remade after 30 Years | QUOTE | | From slashdot.org: You may have owned a Commodore computer 30 years ago. These computers helped popularize the PC. Now, Commodore is launching a revamped version of that awesome, old computer. It looks the same on the outside, but houses a modern computer. |

A new nationwide wireless internet network may interfere with GPS units. The new network uses a frequency that is very close to GPS systems. GPS manufacturers fear this could overwhelm the signal meant for their products. |
| QUOTE | | From reuters.com: FCC Commissioner Michael Copps is against AT&T's bid to buy T-Mobile. He is concerned that it would give the mobile carrier too much power. If the merger were successful, AT&T would become the nation's largest mobile provider. |
| QUOTE | | T-Mobile: In its Q&A page about the merger, the company said: “T-Mobile USA remains an independent company. The acquisition is expected to be completed in approximately 12 months. We do not offer the iPhone.” |
| QUOTE | | From businessweek.com: Dish network has won the bid to purchase Blockbuster. Dish bought the former movie rental king for $320 million. Blockbuster filed for bankruptcy last year after services like Netflix proved more popular. |
| QUOTE | From betanews.com: By Mark Wilson
As Pale Moon is based on the latest Firefox 4 code, it is possible to take advantage of all of the latest features and enhancements that have been included, while eliminating superfluous features that, for most people, serve little purpose other than using up value system resources. The idea behind Pale Moon stemmed from the fact that Firefox has been designed for maximum compatibility with as wide a range of computers, and this includes very old systems...
...There are two versions of Pale Moon available, each relating to different release branches of Firefox. Pale Moon 3.6.15 is the last version to follow the 3.x branch of the Firefox release schedule, while Pale Moon 4.0 is the optimized version of Firefox 4. There are standard, portable and experimental x64 versions available. Go to palemoon.org |
| QUOTE | From itmanagement.earthweb.com: By Bruce Byfield
Most free software users have long ago made their decision about whether they prefer the GNOME or KDE desktop. However, with the release of GNOME 3 this week, the choice requires a new answer. Now, both GNOME and KDE have versions that are radically different from those each had a few years ago. |
| QUOTE | In #29263, Eric replies: I am really apprehensive about Gnome 3. I use Ubuntu which uses Gnome. The first thing that I do after installing Ubuntu is to shut off it's visual effects which leaves me with a clean and highly customizable desktop environment. I for one am very worried about my desktop environment being screwed around with.
The folks at Gnome and KDE seem to be forgetting that most people who use Linux use it precisely because it is not Windows. Making their desktop environments more like Windows is a self defeating venture.
I would much rather see Gnome perfect their existing desktop environment than to replace it with something that is more glitzy and less useful. |
#29174 by Zombie asks: Why would someone want to hide the address that a link points to?
| QUOTE | | I never click on a link that has been shortened... They can link to anything. I never could understand why people would use URL shorteners (except on Twitter or other character limiting purposes). |
| QUOTE | | From Yahoo, by Lili Ladaga: Japan has often donated when other countries have experienced disasters, such as when Hurricane Katrina impacted the United States. There are organizations that are working on relief and recovery in the Japan. |

Thanks Kevin aka kraniumly_krafty for posting tech news and security updates used in the show#29083 by Todd: Classifieds Wars: Craigslist, Oodle Fight Over Safety | QUOTE | From paidcontent.org: By Joseph Tartakoff - In its latest attempt to challenge Craigslist, Oodle is trying to portray the rival site as a stomping ground for criminals—and Craigslist is not pleased. Oodle put out a report with classifieds research firm AIM Group this morning noting that 330 crimes, including 43 violent ones, were tied to interactions on Craigslist over the last year. Oodle called its rival a "cesspool of crime" and posted an infographic titled "Mayhem On Craigslist" complete with an image of a knife-wielding killer.
In response, Craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster (who has never minced words; see his comments on CNN reporter Amber Lyon here, for instance) calls Oodle's report a "false (and defamatory) paid-for editorial" and defines Oodle for his blog readers "since few have heard of it." Buckmaster also notes that 300 crimes is a tiny fraction of the "BILLIONS of human interactions" he says Craigslist generates a year.. |

| QUOTE | From dailytech.com: New build brings GPU acceleration, synced passwords, beefed up Javascript performance .
Internet Explorer 9 looks to make up much ground for poor previous outings by Microsoft browsers. But even as it remedies slow performance and lacking standards, IE 9 is threatened by a slick set of super-fast browsers from smaller third parties who don't happen to be named Mozilla.
Among those challengers is Google's Chrome 10, which was just released in beta form last week. Like IE 9 and Firefox 4, Chrome adds the much desire GPU hardware acceleration to Google's framework for the first time. According to Google's blog on the release: In full screen mode, CPU usage may decrease by as much as 80%! |
| QUOTE | | From techtree.com: On Download Tuesday, Microsoft released Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (KB976932) to the masses. SP1 was released to MSDN and Technet subscribers the previous Wednesday. The Service Pack is available directly through MS Download Center or by Windows Update. For users, Windows 7 Service Pack 1 doesn't pack any new features, but is a bunch of cumulative security updates and hot fixes. |
| QUOTE | | From digitimes.com: If you are looking for a new notebook computer, you may be on hold for a few months. The demand for critical components is high right now, with production being diverted to the more lucrative handheld markets. It's an unfortunate turn, but it's a supply and demand scenario, with the handhelds winning this round. Acer and Hewlett-Packard (HP) reportedly noticed the CIS supply problem at internal meetings in January, pushing HP to take supplies from SETi. |
| QUOTE | | From usatoday.com: The Legend of Zelda is one of the most iconic game franchises. Its beloved characters Zelda and Link celebrated their 25th birthday this week. The original Legend of Zelda game was released in 1986 for Nintendo. |
| QUOTE | | From timesofindia.com: A Chinese mother posted a nude video of her daughter online. Her intent was to find her daughter a husband. Outraged viewers called the mother shameless. |

#29006 by Jamie T: A CALL FOR HELP Using an older flatbed scanner with Windows 7
| QUOTE | I just tried using my Canon Canoscan LIDE 30 Scanner with my Windows 7 64 bit OS Toshiba Satellite L675D laptop, and discovered it's not compatible. I did some research online, and some of the suggestions were to download drivers for Windows Vista, and for it to work under compatibility mode, which didn't work. Then I thought of installing WUBI: http://wubi.sourceforge.net/ ( from their page: Wubi is an officially supported Ubuntu installer for Windows users that can bring you to the Linux world with a single click. Wubi allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu as any other Windows application |
| QUOTE | After installing, rebooting into Ubuntu, the scanner worked perfectly. So when all else fails, use Ubuntu! Now I do have one problem: when running Ubuntu, it doesn't pick up my WiFi connection, so I have to use an ethernet cable to connect to the internet. If anyone has a fix for this, please let me know. |
Also: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/windows-installer You can download Ubuntu Desktop Edition and run it alongside your current Windows system. | QUOTE | | In Msg #29008 Kevin O. replies: It is far more likely that Realtek has not given them any of the information needed to create the (wifi) drivers. On the whole, Linux supports more hardware than any other OS out there, but every OS has limitations in this respect. Just try getting older hardware to work in Windows 7, for instance. |
| QUOTE | | From computerworld.com: A survey of 200 security managers reveals a growing fear of foreign cyberattacks. 60% of those surveyed said such attacks were a high threat and 30% said they had already experienced attacks from overseas groups. |
| QUOTE | | We're not sure what this page is. It appears to be something put together by Louisiana Tech students. There is a short YouTube clip on the site.. |
| QUOTE | | From usatoday.com & By Adam Ostrow, Mashable: Sports Illustrated is set to release its famed swimsuit issue this week, and along with it, a robust digital strategy across a number of different platforms. For starters, the publication is back with its Swimsuit app for iPhone, which was downloaded more than 1 million times last year. However, this year also sees an app for Android, as well as availability on iPad through SI's app (which uses a per issue pricing model) and Flipboard |
