Given it is my first plunge, so far, so good. it's a Samsung Galaxy Y Pro. I really couldn't give up a physical keyboard.
I only have these shorcomings (so far): - no support for voice dialing via bluetooth - it'd be nice to have about 4 physical keys dedicated to functions of your choosing (phone does have two such buttons though) - how to keep battery from draining overnight (went from full to 22% in 6 hours of sleep)
I have already put on a few apps, I'd like you to recommend a few as well
Republic of Trinidad and Tobago Ministry of Finance Hacked And Data Leaked
The Republic of Trinidad and Tobago Government has come under attack from hackers who have hacked and leaked data from the Ministry of Finance website.
Its not common that we see this government targeted so its any wonder why it has been, but either way it seems they have some security issues that they may want to look into asap.
The leaked data contains various types of accounts that only total 50 or so and the data contains usernames, emails, encrypted passwords.
So an old schoolmate of mine asked me a couple of months ago to try to resurrect two laptops for her as a 'gratis' favour. She;s currently away pursuing her doctorate.
I've only now decided to have a look at one
Dell XPS M1330
Warranty expire since 2010. Has fall damage. (She has 'issues' with taking proper care of laptops)
Laptop does not charge at all, most liley due to power jack port on the laptop. I can only confirm this is there is someone who has a XPS M1330 as well willing to let me test the battery and charger on their laptop.
Second laptop info will be updated in the future.... (suffice to say liquid is involved)
I recently drooled over the Z68 chipset, realizing that you can use any SSD 20GB to 64GB to use as an caching drive via Intel own software called Intel Smart Response Technology. There is even a gigabyte motherboard that has a built-in 20GB SSD for exactly this purpose (and one minus the mSATA drive, just the slot).
Thankfully, there are also options for those who are not using the Z68 chipset. Any 64GB or less-sized SSD and sfotware that works across any chipset platform, but will most likley require Windows 7.
There are currently four SSDs that are covering this option:
Intel’s CPU Insurance Is an Overclocker’s Wet Dream
Overclocking processors used to be extremely nerdy, but if anything it's becoming more common these days. For those intent on squeezing performance from their chip, Intel's new CPU insurance means getting it wrong needn't be that expensive.
Overclocking a CPU does bring performance increases, but it also brings extra heat which can damage the chip if you're not careful. That's why Intel is now offering a Performance Tuning Protection Plan for five of its CPUs, which bolts on additional coverage for overclocked processors on top of their standard 3-year warranty.
You can buy the insurance any time within a year from purchase, and the policy lasts three years. So, burn your chip out from overclocking, and it's replaced free of charge. Insurance is available for five unlocked processors, and the cost varies by model as follows:
I would like some help getting some drawings done.
Is part of a lil 'campaign' I am about to embark upon. Is drawings of people I need, similar to what you see in the papers when they make fun of politicians.

(Reuters) - Silicon Valley legend Steve Jobs on Wednesday resigned as chief executive of Apple Inc in a stunning move that ended his 14-year reign at the technology giant he co-founded in a garage.
Apple shares dived as much as 7 percent in after-hours trade after the pancreatic cancer survivor and industry icon, who has been on medical leave for an undisclosed condition since January 17, announced he will be replaced by COO and longtime heir apparent Tim Cook.
Analysts do not expect Jobs' resignation -- which had long been foreseen -- to derail the company's fabled product-launch roadmap, including possibly a new iPhone in September and a third iteration of the iPad tablet in 2012.
"I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple's CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come," he said in a brief letter announcing his resignation.
The 55-year-old CEO had briefly emerged from his medical leave in March to unveil the latest version of the iPad and later to attend a dinner hosted by President Barack Obama for technology leaders in Silicon Valley.
Jobs' often-gaunt appearance has sparked questions about his health and his ability to continue at Apple.
"I will say to investors: don't panic and remain calm, it's the right thing to do. Steve will be chairman and Cook is CEO," said BGC Financial analyst Colin Gillis.
Apple shares slid to $357.40 in extended trading after a brief halt. They had gained 0.7 percent to close at $376.18 on the Nasdaq.
Analysts again expressed confidence in the Apple bench, headed by longtime company No. 2 and supply-chain maven Cook.
"Investors are very comfortable with Tim Cook even though Jobs has been a driver of innovation and clearly an Apple success. Tim has shown Apple can still outperform extremely well when he's been acting as CEO," said Cross Research analyst Shannon Cross.
"I don't know if it's a health issue. I don't know if it is a shock. Most likely it was going to happen at some point. Why today versus another day? I don't know."

Anyone has to give, sell, or can direct me to a store which has?
Purpose is for a rear fan i have mounted outside my case to pull out air, and i don't want to lose part of my finger trying to plug/unplug a USB cable...
Deciding to take a stab back at MCSE, I decide to build a slim PC with a new MSI G41 motherboard, a slim case donated by daniboy, a Pentium D 940 CPU i got from a customer, some RAM I have lying around unused and an unused hard drive.
so I assembled the build.
when I power on PC using a Crucial Ballistix 1066 DDR2 RAM, it undergoes a cycle where it turns on for 2 seconds, turns off, turn on for a split seconds and turns on again, and the cycle repeats.
Thinking it is the PSU I swap for a known working one. no dice. Tried a working Corsair and some value crucial. Same thing.
take out RAM. I get the beeping but it still power cycling on its own.
Only when I take out everything an power up the board by itself doe the issue stop.
I say "odd". I happen to have a Core 2 Duo E400 courtesy of Netizen, so I pop that in and try to boot.
same thing using the Crucial and Corsair 1066 RAM, but miraculously it works fine with the value DDR2-667 RAM. I was fully able to install server 2003, install all driver and updates without a hiccup.
But I still need to establish what is causing this issue so I tack back with the faster RAM. Back to the power on/off cycle.
Even updating the BIOS is of no use.
Gentlemen tell me your thoughts. This issue can be demonstrated for you in your prescence if you like.
