You guys have got to check out the coolest laptop i have seen.

Ask anyone that has 2 or more monitors and they will tell you then cant go back to a single screen.

With your laptop you didn’t have much choice on that, you either lugged around a extra lcd monitor to plug in or had to use the single built on monitor.

But thanks to the guys at Kohjinsha you wont have to do that anymore.

Thanks Preston for showing me that link!

This is scaling to be one of the BIGGEST Microsoft O/S launches in history. Are YOU ready?

Windows 7 Q&A:

1.         My client wants to upgrade from WindowsXP to Windows 7 and I can’t do that!!
Yes, you can. Microsoft has integrated a XP > 7 migration tool right on the installation disc.
Details and procedures here: Upgrading from Windows XP to Windows 7

2.         Will my client’s computer run Windows 7?
The short answer is “Yes”. I have personally run it on many platforms – including a 5 year old DDR1, P4M 1.5Ghz 32bit CPU notebook. I simply used Windows Vista drivers – all was good. But – it you need to make SURE, Microsoft has an Upgrade Advisor tool available.
Click here: Microsoft Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor

3.         What about my client’s applications? Will they run in Windows 7?
Microsoft has been especially sensitive to this issue. Especially given the debacle of Vista when it first came out. There has been extensive testing in this area, but to make sure – Microsoft has developed a Windows 7 Application Compatibility Toolkit

4.         So – I have a client with an incompatible software program, but they want the security and ease of use with Windows 7. What can I do?
You have a solid option. With the introduction of Windows 7 – Microsoft offers “WindowsXP Mode”. This feature utilizes Microsoft VirtualPC (With compliant hardware) to create a virtual machine running WindowsXP Pro.
All the details you can stand here: Microsoft WindowsXP Mode Minisite

5.         What about downgrades? Can we still downgrade Windows 7 Pro and Windows 7 Ultimate?
Yes . Here’s the skinny from Microsoft:
“For a limited time of 18 months after the general availability of Windows 7 or the release of a Windows 7 Service Pack, whichever is earlier, the OEM license of Windows 7 Professional and Windows 7 Ultimate will include downgrade rights to Windows XP Professional. After that period the OEM license will enable downgrade rights to Windows Vista Business.”
Got it?

6.         What versions will be available?
Basically the same as previous Windows versions. The only exception is there will be NO Windows 7 “Home” available through Microsoft Delivery Service Partners. There will be a trimmed-down version coming for Netbooks, and a “Home” version for developing countries. It will not be widely available to the SMB market. Microsoft has somewhat addresses this by lowering the price of Windows 7 Home Premium a small amount.

Microsoft Security Essentials

A vulnerability in Windows that is known since September 7 is being taken advantage of by releasing the code in public. The code crashes a computer but Harmony Security Senior Researcher Stephen Fewer has developed a code that lets an attacker run a program on a user’s machine which is more dangerous than the other situation.
Windows Vista Service Pack 1 and 2 as well as Windows 2008 SP1 server are the operating systems that are vulnerable to the exploit according to Metasploit developer HD Moore.
An Immunity Senior Researcher said that the code only works on Vista.

This is why is so so important to be downloading and installing your windows updates.

Is 7 Microsoft’s Lucky Number?

So far, most of the press for Windows 7 has been good. IT pros and consumer beta testers have, for the most part, praised the new operating system as faster, nicer looking and easier to use than Vista. Folks are finding that they can install it on less powerful hardware than Vista requires, including inexpensive netbooks, and get good performance. What’s not to like?

We need to remember, though, that all the reviews thus far have been based on the (free) public release candidate or the RTM that certain IT pros get as part of their MSDN/TechNet subscriptions, MVP status, their companies’ beta testing relationship with Microsoft, etc. Folks have a tendency to be less critical of a product that they don’t have to pay for. Will the user satisfaction factor hold up once people start paying for the OS?

Vista actually got many positive reviews, too, when it was in beta testing. It was after it was released to the general public that most of the complaints started coming in – including complaints from the same tech pundits who had good things to say about it before. I think we have the OEMs to thank for much of that. Too many of the hardware vendors installed it on machines that just weren’t up to the task, and frustrated computer buyers found themselves working on systems that operated at a slow crawl. Of course, Service Pack 1 helped a lot with those performance issues, but by the time it came out, the damage to Vista’s reputation was already done.

With Windows 7, Microsoft obviously made performance a priority, whereas in designing Vista, security seemed to be at the forefront (no pun intended). They quickly discovered that although most computer users will say they want their systems to be secure, many of them want that only as long as it doesn’t inconvenience them. Thus another thing that got Vista off on the wrong foot was User Account Control (UAC), which so many people saw as much too “in your face.” Win7 still has UAC, but its default behavior has been toned down to make it less annoying and users have been given more control over it. At the same time, new technologies in Windows 7 such as BitLocker to Go and AppLocker (in Enterprise and Ultimate), DirectAccess (in Pro, Enterprise and Ultimate), and improvements to smart card support, the Windows Firewall, and other existing security technologies make this the most secure version of Windows ever – without getting in your face.

Something that I’ve not yet been able to try out is Windows 7’s improvements to handwriting recognition. I thought the Tablet PC was a great idea, but unfortunately it didn’t catch on, and it’s you don’t see as many Tablets for sale as you did for a while. It would be great if Windows 7 changed that, but I don’t know whether it will happen. HP’s TouchSmart tx2z is one that looks interesting, with the ability to handle up to 8 GB of RAM. Fujitsu is still putting out a number of machines in the Tablet form factor, including the teeny tiny 5.6 inch LifeBook U820 that’s cute as can be, if not overly functional. Its slightly bigger brother, the LifeBook P1630 (8.9 inch screen) always catches my eye, but I’m not going to pay almost $2000 for a system that has only 1 GB of RAM and a 1.2 GHz processor. I think the biggest problem with the Tablets is that they have continued to be significantly more expensive than regular laptops/notebooks with comparable specs. That’s because of the expense of the touch screen, I suppose.

In fact, one new focus in Windows 7 that most beta testers didn’t get a chance to fully appreciate is its Touch capabilities. That’s because using it requires that you have the proper hardware – a touch screen monitor. There aren’t that many of those floating around out there yet, and they’re relatively expensive. I’m lucky to have an HP TouchSmart as our “kitchen computer” but it’s not the latest incarnation and doesn’t support all of the Windows 7 Touch goodness, such as multi-touch (ability to grab with two fingers, like you can do with the iPhone). To see a demo of Windows 7’s multi-touch, watch the video at

Speaking of the iPhone, the Windows 7 desktop operating system isn’t the only “7″ in Microsoft’s lineup. Those of us who haven’t fallen under Apple’s spell are looking forward to Windows Mobile 7, the next full version upgrade of Microsoft’s phone/handheld OS. An incremental upgrade, WM 6.5, will be out next month and it has some nice new features, but it’s WM 7 – especially running on high end phones like the Omnia II with its drop-dead-gorgeous AMOLED screen (coming soon to Verizon) – that we’re hoping will be the iPhone killer.

Although we don’t know much about it yet, I’m hoping that WM 7 will be a lot like a pared down version of Windows 7, made for the small screen. The problem with Windows Mobile in the past was that it was too stylus-centric; that is, you couldn’t easily navigate its interface with just your fingers, as you can do on the iPhone. Some of the phone vendors have addressed this with their own interface overlays. For instance, the Touchwiz 2.0 interface on the Omnia II brings the same type of touchability to that device that iPhone users enjoy. See it in action here:

WM 7 is expected to be released in 2010 and there are rumors that beta testing will begin before the end of this year. Microsoft has kept it under close wraps, but there have been leaks, and even suggestions that it’s already in the early phases of beta testing:

We have to say 7 hasn’t always been a lucky number for Microsoft, though. Internet Explorer 7, although it introduced tabbed browsing for the first time in IE and greatly improved browser security, was plagued with usability and reliability problems. I experienced frequent browser crashing or freezing with it – problems that I haven’t seen in IE 8.

Mac Malware

Posted: 31 Aug 2009

An Apple-specific DNS changer Trojan has been detected by Trend-Micro. It is named JAHLAV-K and it comes in a mountable Disk Image File (.dmg).

If users get infected with this file, their browsers would redirect to phishing sites and some of them would also redirect to sites that offer fake anti-virus programs.

Sophos warns that the pirated version of “Foxit Reader for Mac” comes with this trojan. “While imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, we are not happy about the recent malware attacks masquerading as our Foxit Reader,” said the vice president of sales and marketing at Foxit Corporation.
