Building your own Media Center

Since I have IPTV I am really annoyed by not having an option to save programs, like in old video recorder and cable network days. True, one can still save using video recorder, but the problem is that video recorder can't change channels on STB (set

My first article published in Moj Mikro, Slovene computer monthly magazine

The article is all about HTC's dirty secrets behind its line of PocketPC's based on Qualcomm's MSM7x00 CPU/chipset and is my first article being published in such a large scale magazine or in any magazine I guess. Moj Mikro also brings my memories back;

HTC is giving a finger to its customers

I already reported about presumably lack of drivers in newer HTC devices . At the time it was all speculation. Now we have an official response from HTC . They are basically saying: Yes, we advertise the devices as great, the devices have actually great

HTC devices and lack of proper drivers

If you are considering to buy a HTC device or already have one then you should definitely visit this website: HTCClassAction.org . IOW a range of HTC devices that have Qualcomm CPU (MSM7200 and MSM7500) lack of proper drivers. I own a TyTN II and I can

SpbBackup - a must have PocketPC application

SpbBackup is my MVP (most valuable program) for PocketPC. To be more precise, a backup application (such as SpbBackup ) is a must have for anybody using a PocketPC device. What is good about it: it backups your data (entire data on PocketPC if you want

Reasons why I prefer (Windows) PC over Apple computers

When I talk with Apple enthusiasts they often question me why the heck I prefer crappy PC over super cool Apple computers. My main reasons are the freedom of choice, developer tools and the fact I can make money with PCs (update: read Windows). Perhaps

Speeding up build times dramatically

I have a VS 2005 solution with 19 projects.In total it consumes ~600MB of disk space (entire solution folder, including binaries). Needless to say that build times are relatively high. They are high even though my workstation has 4GB of RAM, RAID 0+1

Peculiar problem involving Windows 2003, VMWare Server, SQL Server 2005 and networking

Over the weekend I've built my new server - yes, the content you are reading right now is served from it. Perhaps more about this new server in another post. Back to the point. Host OS on the server is Windows 2003 R2 x32 and there is also a SQL Server

Playing video or audio in Vista is a booby trap

Since I switched to gigabit network some months ago I often saw a lousy network performance against other computers in my local network. It wasn't enough annoying to actually investigate. However, one day I said: enough is enough. Time for an investigation

Is your Seagate 7200.10 disk using SATA or SATAII?

Another detail regarding the Seagate 7200.10 disk (and perhaps other series as well). These disks are SATAII capable but aren't SATAII enabled by default . The difference is 300MB vs 150MB transfer rate. It actually does matter only when you are running

Beware of Seagate 7200.10 disk series

I noticed a bunch of articles regarding highly praised Seagate 7200.10 disk series and a couple of forum threads: one , two (I am sure there are others as well). The problem is if you got a drive with an AAK firmware - it is abnormally slow (see article).

Global warming is affecting Apple, too

the Inquirer writes that "Apple has lodged a patent for a device charger that works only with one device". In other words, you won't be able to charge your i[THING] with anything else than original charger. They mention that this would be good to make

Jumping from 2GB to 4GB RAM makes Vista x86 faster

Recently I've increased my workstation RAM from 2GB to 4GB (all modules are CL4). Although I am running Vista Ultimate x86 and the available RAM increase is actually smaller than 2GB (Task Manager is reporting 3581MB of total RAM) due to x86 nature of

Intel has put its Matrix Storage driver, official production version 7.5.0.1017, online. Among other improvements, it is supposed to fix iTunes/QuickTime problems for good. I have to say: finally - it was about time! Hopefully this ends months long saga
