15.12.2006Intel's BIOS tool spells death bell for third party utilities
ECS is showing
Intel's backup utility called
the System Recovery Tool.
This utility sits inside
the BIOS of a motherboard that
of course, sports Intel's
latest chipsets. The
application features partition
and disk image backup and
recovery, just like a lot of
third-party applications.
However, being built inside
the BIOS, it has the advantage
of not needing any sort of
boot or recovery CDs, rather
pressing a function key (F3 in
the case of ECS's boards) on
a keyboard.
The image
creation process is very
simple - press the F3 key,
pick the option Create new
image, choose what partition
will be backed up and the
destination (different
partition, CD, DVD medium).
You can expect this
feature to come on many
motherboards in near future.

19.10.2009Simple guide to test Vista SP1 RC1 on a separate partition
Long Zheng: A couple of people, dozen at max, have expressed interest in testing out the
soon-to-be-public Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Release Candidate release. There are many ways of installing and testing
operating systems and even more so service packs so it can be rather confusing and cumbersome experience for some people out there. Out of all the
possibilities, I do myself and recommend everyone to always start fresh, but that doesnt always mean from the command prompt.
Whilst release candidate will be a very good representation of the final product early next year, it still means youll have to forfeit this
release sooner or later so it is not recommended you replace your existing Windows installation with it. Especially with all the problems people have
been running into uninstalling their service pack betas which itself sounds like a really bad idea anyway, its ideal to set up a fresh install. And
the most convenient fresh install is on a separate partition on existing disks.
Formerly the process of splitting a partition
involved third-party software which is time-consuming and sometimes unreliable, however a less-known disk management function in Windows Vista will
simplify all that.

10.12.2007The Cost of 'Free' Wireless
AT&T is providing the city of Riverside, Calif., with free wireless access, supported by advertising. But there are still costs involved, said Michael
Beck, assistant city manager.
"It doesn't come free, but it can be very cost-effective," Beck said. "That is where a
community can get caught with a surprise. You have to make sure you know what the costs are on the city side, not just the wireless community."
Many cities, however, are getting caught up in the "free wireless" hype.
"In general, we've gone through a
period of early hype and expectations," said Phil Belanger, managing director of San Francisco-based Novarum. "It's not peace, love and free Wi-Fi.
It's a valuable service. There needs to be value for the city and things you can charge for." ..

17.07.2008Apple Updates Boot Camp Software
Apple has updated its beta
Boot Camp software to version
1.1.2. The software lets
owners of Intel Macs install
Windows XP on their Mac in a
separate partition, allowing
users to choose which
operating system to boot up to
on startup. The new version
offers support for all the
latest Intel-based Macs, and
also makes it easier to
partition hard disks for the
installation of Windows XP by
offering partitioning
presets.
Boot Camp
1.1.2 lets users install
Windows XP on any internal
disk; adds support for
built-in iSight cameras and
microphones; supports Apple's
USB modem, trackpad scrolling
and right-clicking on a
notebook; and furnishes
improved keyboard support.
Apple notes that
installation is relatively
painless: "If you previously
installed Boot Camp beta, you
can easily update to Boot Camp
1.1.2 beta. You don't need to
partition your hard drive
again (unless you want to
change its size) or reinstall
your Macintosh and Windows
software or documents, but
it's very important to update
the Boot Camp Assistant
software, create a new
Macintosh Drivers for Windows
CD and install the updated
software it contains on
Windows XP."

05.06.2007The Danger of Free
Everyone loves to get stuff for free. We line up to get a free drink, we sign up for free checking accounts, and we're happy to get a free gift
with the purchase of our next car. We love free stuff, even though we all know and understand that free is an illusion. After that free drink, we pay
for the next three. The bank is making money by investing what we put in that checking account. The car dealer can afford to give away a small gift
because the profit on the car is large. But none of this seems to bother us - free things still have a certain allure. But is the concept of free
taking us down a dangerous road?
Marketers long ago figured out the attractiveness of free. For decades companies have been playing tricks
using free to lure naive customers. But recently, our obsession with free has given rise to a new phenomenon - where the customer is never asked to
pay. How? Because the business makes their money on advertising. Marketers are happy to pay for access to customers, who in turn love not having to
pay. So the web plays the glorious role of middle man. Are we heading into dangerous territory? The paths that we are taking lead to confused
customers at best; and monopolistic practices at worst. A culture where consumers think that increasingly more and more services should be free is not
healthy.

be proven wrong. View: Part 1 of "Linux Comparison" - Ubuntu An install for all. The installation was quick and painless. The installer correctly

04.12.2008Microsoft: Free tool for planning Office 2007 Conversions
On Friday, Brian Jones, an
Office program manager at
Microsoft, quietly announced
the release of Office
Migration Planning Manager, a
free tool kit designed to help
corporate users convert their
existing Office files to
Office 2007's new Open XML
file format. The new
technology reports how many
and what kind of Office files
exist on networked PCs. To use
the 2.7MB tool, users will
need either Access 2007 or a
free, but as-yet-unreleased
runtime version of the Access
software.
Microsoft
previously had released its
Office Compatibility Pack,
which can help IT
administrators update files
saved in Office XP or Office
2003 formats to Open XML. The
compatibility pack includes a
tool called the Office File
Converter, which can be used
to convert large numbers of
files at the same time.
Earlier versions of Office all
save data in binary file
formats but Open XML takes
individual files, some of them
in conventional binary
formats, and repackages them
in a compressed form.
