Minidatorer comes with Windows 7

Posted by ecsem1 in Feb 25, 2011, under custom and culture, fashion life, technology

Har Hittills minidatorernetbooks ) använt sig av Windows XP som operativsystem. Det har att rejält Ratt retat Microsoft Vista for krävande var att kunna köras for more minidatorer, men med OCH to Windows 7 gar det att ta klivet Fran Gamla XP.

Windows XP has become the standard choice among operating systems for minicomputers . With some manufacturers, it is possible to select versions of Linux, but unfortunately lost the election fairly soon from the Swedish market, because the interest was too low. I could also try HP’s first mini PC HP 2133 Mini-Note , which came with a Vista installation, which was hopelessly slow. HP soon switched to XP to update the computer.

With Windows 7, Microsoft seems to be able to show how an operating system to work. Windows 7 is fine to install on machines that do not have as high a performance as has been done on parts of the system in Vista was very demanding (may include management of Services ).

Limitations of computers

Initially it was thought that Microsoft would offer Windows 7 Starter Edition for installation on mini computers. Starter Edition was initially a limit of three applications to run simultaneously, but after fierce criticism from users and the media chose Microsoft to remove the hold. There is still a rather limited version of the new OS.

Now, Microsoft has chosen to completely remove the requirement to mini-computers must be running Windows 7 Starter Edition . Computer manufacturers can choose which version you want to pre-load their computers with. Moreover, some changes have been made regarding the limits of the hardware on minicomputers. The screens may now be only 10.2 inches – unlike the past, when the limit was 12.1 inches.

The internal memory is the same, up to 1 GB , while the hard disk may be 250 GB(altera tive 64GB SSD) which can be compared with the previous 160 GB and 32 GB.

They have removed the limit for the video card, in which computer manufacturers have only received a maximum of DirectX 9. With Windows 7 Aero , the new interface, needed more cream in your computer, so that manufacturers now must push the graphics chips they want. And finally, it is the processor which may not exceed 2 GHz, and may not draw more than 15W.

Audiobook for iPod – so do you, the easy way

Posted by ecsem1 in Jan 22, 2011, under custom and culture, fashion life, technology

My mother got an iPod Nano for my birthday, which she also use to listen to audio books. When I checked the web for information on transferring audio books on CD to your iPod , I realized that there should be an easier way.

The guide, which most are related to the availability blog , but even if this guide is very good and clear, it includes the Twelve Steps and many procedures. I thought that was a tad too much for my limited technical mother. It was even too much for me to cope convert an audiobook on CD to your iPod . Therefore I looked at alternative solutions.

What I describe here, is not the ultimate solution.But it is among the simplest . To implement this, you need an iPod, you have connected to your computer and you need to run iTunes version 8.0 or later. You also need, of course, an audio book on CDs.

The solution is to import your CDs into iTunesand create a play list of audio book. If you select the advanced way described in the above link, your audio book to fall short menu of books on the iPod, but in this case end up in the playlists.

One problem that I understand may occur, is that the iPod can not remember exactly where you were somewhere where you turn off and then will continue to listen. On my new iPod Nano does not occur this problem, but I guess it can mess up on older versions of iPods.

Minimal external 3-5-inch drive from Freecom

Posted by ecsem1 in Jan 19, 2011, under battery grip, custom and culture, news, technology

Hard Drive XS is the name of a new external hard drive from Freecom model. The unit claims to be the world’s smallest 3.5-inch disk.

Weighing 860 grams and a size of 18.2 x 11.4 x 3.1 cm is the Freecom Hard Drive XS very small to contain a disk of 3.5-inch size. The device comes in two models, one with 500 GB storage capacity and one with 1TB storage capacity. The price tag for the former model lies at 875 crowns, while the larger version will cost 1200 dollars.

The unit is equipped with a Turbo USB 2.0 connection. This bodes for high speeds over’s when the USB 2.0 interface itself supports speeds up to 480 Mbps The model is in black and has a shape custom rubber casing that will give good grip and make the vibrations are minimized. Sylvain Willenz, award-winning Belgian designer, stands for the aesthetic design of the disk. Hard drive chassis is not equipped with a fan which is a contributing factor to the device is so small. The disadvantage of lack of fan is understood that the disk, especially in heavy use, likely to be very hot.

Power is supplied by an external AC adapter, which unfortunately means that some of the points with an external disk in minimal performance loss. To drag along both hard drive, adapter and USB cable is quite bulky. It had instead been better if the hard drive could get its power via USB cable.

Clean up and secure your computer, Part 4: Defragmentation

Posted by ecsem1 in Jan 14, 2011, under custom and culture, news, technology

By defragmenting your hard drive cleaned, you will make reading and writing more effectively and faster. It is well invested time.

When you use your computer, and write to disk – something that made all the time, the data will become increasinglyfragmented . When the system writes a file to your hard drive, the file will be divided into small sections, to make it easier to manage and to take advantage of disk storage space to the maximum.But the more time you have spent your hard drive, the more scattered, these sections be.

Very scattered data allows the drive to work hard to collect and put together a large file. This notice this, reading is slower and, above all, you hear the hard drive making noise loud when the read head must jump back and forth across the magnetic disks.This is when your hard drive needs to be defragmented.

Defragmentation means that software moves on the blocks (clusters or blocks, as they are also called) so that a file’s data as close together as possible. This way, the hard drive is not working so feverishly to locate all the contents of a file. It makes the reading go faster and you avoid some rattle from the computer. In the long term make it to your hard drive does not wear as much and last longer.

Windows has its own tool called Disk Defragmenter , which is found under Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools . This program is quite good and works fine to drive. However, it is not the most efficient on the market, exactly. Do you want better results, try something else.

A good choice is Auslogics Disk Defrag . This is a free tool from a well-known software manufacturer. The program is very easy to use. Start by turning off as many programs as possible, and then start Auslogics Disk Defrag. In the menu, select the hard drive you want to defragment. Then, just click Next and wait for the work carried out.
