Before I even got really started on Windows 2008 Microsoft is releasing a beta of their Windows Server 2008 R2. My first thought was – well that makes sense as Windows 7 is also in beta, but then I came to think – are they actually related? I heard something about “Direct access” that would require Win 2008R2 […]
It would seem DVico has released TViX R-2230 a small form factor mediacenter with DVB-T build in, it looks quite interesting even though there seem to be some confusion regarding HD playback (supports 1080p but not MKV and H264). I really liked the previous versions of TViX (se earlier post) and thus this is interesting […]
So a friend of mine bought a PS3 (I’m sticking to my chipped XBOX 1 Classic until the price falls or I win the Lottery or something), anyhow – a question quickly came to mind, will a PS3 play those video.mkv files (see the DIVX7 post earlier).. Sadly no 🙁 the answer seem to be (one […]
I have often used “10-4” to state that I agree and will do that, however I never quite could come up with where I picked it up.. Anyhow, a wiki search revealed this; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten-code I actually did not know that, I thought it was military in origin. Thank god for Wiki 😉
Now this is a blast, we all know Internet browsing these days has a certain level of danger in it? Many sites have (knowingly or by using a advertisment rotation system) had malware scripts on their pages, and thus after visiting a few web-sites you may be infected by god only know what. One of […]
During my recovery from the Needhost bankruptcy (my former provider) it would seem a few posts got lost 🙁 annoying as I fear more is lost than I recall 🙁 Anyhow, this one is actually a nice one so I re-post it. So you want to rip that neat web-cast for offline viewing, well that […]
Just yesterday heard about the new DivX7 which is interesting enough even though i am not much into that (I think I am using Xvid, but am not sure I just installed the Vista Codec Pack and that seem to cover my needs), however more interesting was the DivX7 showcase where they had HD trailers […]
If buying something online you sometime get the option to enter a promotional code or a cupon code, before hitting ‘next’ try browsing google for a code 10% saved is still 10% 🙂 You can also be lazy and just try; http://www.couponcodes4u.com they have tons of free codes (Just NEVER NEVER NEVER EVER enter your […]
You may have noticed that some youtube videos are available in higher quality. By adding “&fmt=18” to your yourtube link HQ will be the default displaysetting. eg; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfAsibkCmZw is the normal LQ version. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfAsibkCmZw&fmt=18 is a better HQ version. Sure you can click the switch in the YouTube window, but if you are linking why not link HQ 🙂
It would appear that some Nokia phones (Symbian S60) are susceptical to a DOS (Denial of service) sms message that will turn the phone into a very basic phone (read unable to support any kind of messaging, SMS/MMS). The damage is not permanent, but will require a factory reset. Name of the vaunerability is; Curse […]
