Operation PowerBook


Image by Fellowship of the Rich
Took apart my hosed PowerBook to try and liberate my harddrive. Operation PowerBook was successful. I was able to get my data back. The computer? Well, that’s another story. The motherboard of my hosed PowerBook from which I had to liberate my harddrive. It reminds me of a landscape.

Answer by juniorstar
Let your need inform u which 1 to buy. A laptop is made for portable convenience so weight & battery life is integral.
At first glance the Sony looks the better option, plus they always ship with extras eg Blu Ray, more RAM, bigger hard drive blah, blah, blah…but it has a bigger screen so will b heavier, 1kg makes abig difference if u lugging it around all day. Also, battery life is at “1.5 hrs”-u’ll b amazed how quickly that passes plus it will reduce over time.
The Samsung tho has a Centrino 2 so performance will b really impressive. But the price looks a bit much so enquire around, I’m sure u can knock off at least another £50-80.
Lastly, dont 4get bout backup & warranty.

Hubby’s office area – spare / game room


Image by beketchai
I set up the mini-office area for the hubby in our spare room. I set up the PC desk (took about an hour) and moved the desktop into this room. He picked the desk color, even though I wanted birch. At least we don’t have to argue about the printer—it’s all his.

t.co – Dell show off their new netbook that changes to a touch based tablet pc at this years IDF 2010. This is a hybrid with a 10 inch screen, contains a core 2 duo Atom N550 processor and runs on windows 7 premium. The debate is whether tablets of netbooks are the kings of the space between computers and smartphones.. well Dell have hedged their bets by producing this which is a tablet that swivels into a netbook and vice versa. Expect this later this year.

Question by geniphurb: Can you recommend a good laptop bag?
For my birthday I just got an HP Pavillion DV9339US (which is awesome so far by the way!). It is a 17″ widescreen notebook and I am looking for a bag for it. I would prefer a backpack style (so I can put textbooks in it in the fall) and I would prefer it to not be so bulky. I really liked the Timbuk2 bags, but they’re really expensive and don’t have one that fits the 17″ computers. The dimensions of mine are 15.2 x 11.7 x 1.6 inches. Thanks!

Answer by junglejungle
backpack i use is targus

http://www.targus.com/global/splash.aspx

even so i would be careful putting weight against the back of it , as you can cause damage to the screen .

a nice padlock is advisable as well. treat it like you would REAL money… don’t leave it laying about..

also bios password it, so if some **** does steal it, they have to go back to the makers to get it fixed

oh and register it / security mark it.

Question by Raynhawk: What are some good laptop cooling devices?
I need to buy something to keep my computer from over heating. I’ve heard of passive and active coolers.

One that looks interesting is the one from Thermatek. It uses a solid chemical that turns to liquid as it heats.

There are fans too. I’m concerned about them blowing dust into my computer and being too complicated to carry around. My computer is 17″ already.

Too many pieces and plugs will negate the reason for getting a loptop, compactness and no host of extras to monitor.

My first exam from home – Day 241


Image by JF Sebastian
- Day 241 of 366 -
«After a lot of years studying and passing exams today it’s a new experience for me, this exam is the first exam I’m allowed to do it from home via internet.
It’s a great thing to do the exam with all the notes you want, book, Google, or even help by phone if I need it.
But, believe it or not, the best thing about doing an exam from your own computer at home is that you can deal much better with the nerves (my only real enemy during all these years of study); it’s just wonderful to be able of reading the exam sit in your sofa, to stop writing to prepare a cup of coffee in your own kitchen…
It’s just comfortable.

By the way, I think I’ll pass the exam… it’s not so hard.»

Question by flollop42: What is the best laptop cooler for my 17″ widescreen tablet PC?
I have a Toshiba Tecra M7-111 tablet PC and it is always overheating, so I want to buy a laptop cooler for it. I have heard that some makes just make the laptop hotter because of where the air for the fans come from, and many are too small for 17″ widescreen computers. I am looking to buy from http://www.amazon.co.uk (the UK amazon site), so recommendations of products directly from that site would be most useful. Many of the products on the main (.com) US site are not available in the UK.

Answer by Victor K
If you mostly use your laptop on a table, just prop up the back with an old cassette tape or piece of wood. It works wonders and is cheap. If you mostly use it on your lap, though, anyone of them are fine. Just make sure the fan locations match to the fans on the bottom of your laptop.

Stay Cool!

It’s functional as it is comfortable and you can use it for work and travel. It’s clamshell design is especially handy during airport security screenings. Since it opens like a book and allows the x-ray machine to catch a clear image of the laptop, you are not required to take it out of the bag for checking.

My History with Apple (Computer) Inc.


Image by Adam Kuban
Edwin Tofslie created this visual. On his site, he says, "A visual I created to show the evolution of most all Apple products created over the past 30 years. This was created to show the evolution of the form factor and industrial design of the products, not to show every single model or upgrade Apple has launched."

I grabbed it and thought I’d use it to make a history of my Apple purchases. From left to right, top to bottom:

The Apple ][c I must have gotten this in 1985 or '85 (when I was 10 or 11). I remember wanting this computer *so bad* after using the Apple ][e in grade school. I remember going to the Apple dealer (er, excuse me, the Apple authorized reseller) in Olathe—The Bottom Line—and drooling over the computers there. I was an overweight kid, so my parents made me a deal: Lose X many pounds, and they would buy the computer. I lost a little weight, but not the specified amount. Still, I think my parents were swayed by my argument that it was an educational tool and an investment in my future. I learned to type on this machine, using a program with a little wizard who did magic according to how well you did. I also discovered Zork (never did finish) and Wishbringer (finished, 'cause it was easier). A couple years later, I got into the Bard's Tale series. This was supposed to be a "portable" computer, hence the "c" for "compact." The machine itself had a handle on the back that folded down to prop up the computer or folded away into the body. You could carry the computer around, but the monitor was one heavy summbitch. Consequently, it never left the living room, where it sat on the desk toward the back of the room. I loved this little machine! I used it until about 9th grade (1989) and then didn't do much with computers at all in high school. By the time I got another computer, see below, they had (OMG!) something new called a hard drive. Hmm...

Macintosh Performa 6220CD: OK, the one pictured here is from the Performa series. I had a 6220CD, which was a pizza-box configuration. My parents helped me buy it, and we got it from Best Buy, of all places. Best Buy! Can you believe that? That was in, oh, 1995, maybe '96, during the dark Gil Amelio years. Anyway, at that time, I think Apple had a glut of products, and the 6220CD was one of the machines Apple made for the casual market—hence the Best Buy thing. It had a 75 MHz PowerPC 603 processor, 16 MB of RAM, a 1 GB hard drive, and a TV/Video card. It came with a little remote, and you could run cable or a broadcast antenna into the thing.

I got this either during my junior year or first senior year of college (I had two senior years because I switched majors), after I discovered the internet in the auxiliary computer center in Strong Hall at KU. I remember bringing this thing home and having one of my roommates kinda freak out a little bit—"Oh man, Adam. I can't believe there's a computer in our house." He wasn't excited; he was a bit disdainful. At the time, he was kind of a hippie in a very minor way, and I think he saw computers as something evil. Sometimes, I think he was right; but mostly, I love computers. That roommate now is totally into computers and has a pretty nice top-of-the-line Powerbook.

Anyway, I got on the internet and thought it was the coolest thing ever! "Oh my god! You can look up Beastie Boys trivia on the web! This is *so* cool!" I discovered MUDs and MOOs with this machine and made my first webpage that probably had a URL like cc.ukans.edu/falcon/~tomodell. Tomodell was my username (self-chosen) and was after my old high-school history teacher, Tom O'Dell.

In May 1997, I brought this machine with me to Oregon, where I used it to keep in touch with friends back in Kansas and in Japan. It was on this machine that I created a short-lived collaborative humor site (now defunct) called lusciousjackass.com and also had a sort of short-lived group blog that some friends and I did. They'd send me emails, and I'd sit there in the common space of our loft, drinking PBR, and post them in reverse chronological order. I also took out the domain www.hatchback.net/ in '98 and have had it since.

This was also the machine that I created the proto version of Slice on. It was originally going to be a photocopied 'zine, and I laid out the mock-up pages in QuarkXPress on this computer.

iMac Rev B: After convincing my parents to buy an iMac Rev A, I liked theirs so much I bought the Rev B. This must have been in late '98 or so. I don't remember doing anything remarkable on this machine. I replaced it rather quickly with an ...

iBook (clamshell, in Tangerine): I bought this one in 2000, shortly before moving to New York City. I didn't want to lug the iMac cross-country, and I left it with my girlfriend at the time, who didn't have a computer. She used it so we could keep in touch as we tried the whole long-distance dating thing. That didn't work out, and the iMac made its way out east. I sold the iMac on eBay and continued to use the iBook. I remember doing freelance copy-editing on it in my Bay Ridge apartment, sitting on an inflatable mattress because I had no furniture and couldn't afford to buy any. Later, when I got a crappy chair from IKEA, I would sit and work at this lame console table–cum-desk that the previous tenant left in the apartment. I kept this this machine until 2003, when I bought my ...

iBook G3: I bought this one in late August or early September of 2003, shortly before creating Slice. I didn't buy it to build Slice, though. I bought it because I had recently gotten cable broadband and wanted a new machine that took full advantage of the fast connection! Little did I know I was getting a piece of shit. I got the last of the G3 Dual USB iBooks, the ones with the faulty logic board problem. I still own it, and it's on its fourth logic board(!!!!) and second hard drive. Apple was good enough to replace all my logic boards for free under a special program, but I had to eat the cost of a new HD for it. I'm letting a friend borrow this computer right now.

I have a certain fondness for this machine, as it fostered the creation of Slice and A Hamburger Today. It's been to San Francisco, where it left its cold machine heart; Kansas; Florida; the Jersey Shore; and Amsterdam, where it visited the Red Light District and picked up a virus (just kidding). It also has a cool In-N-Out sticker on it. I used it until February 2005, when its first hard drive crashed. After four logic boards, I gave up and bought an ...

iMac G5 (17-inch): Unfortunately, this was the first generation of the flat-screen stand iMacs, and it had a problem: excessive fan noise. This machine worked like a dream at first, but after a firmware update pretty early on, the HD cooling fan started running at top speed under the lightest of processor loads. Because of a lame fan design, the thing sounds like a DustBuster. It is highly unpleasant to work in front of for any length of time. I appreciated the large screen and the speed, but when it came time for me to visit Kansas for Christmas 2005, I had the iBook G3's HD repaired and went back to using it. But the iBook G3 was getting mighty sluggish, so it was great when I joined Serious Eats in October 2006 and the company provided me with a ...

MacBook 1.83 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo: I'm typing this history on this machine now. It's loaded with 2GB of RAM and a 160GB hard drive—basically, it's maxed out. It's been a good little machine, except the white keyboard and casing get dirty. I would have liked the black MacBook, but the advisers setting us up with machines said they cost extra, so my boss, Ed, and I both got white machines. This one is missing the cool In-N-Out sticker, mostly because I don't want to gum up company property.

That's it for the Apple computers. But I also purchased ...

iPod 3rd Generation: Actually, my dad bought this one for me when he came to visit. (Thanks, Dad!) This is the one with the four buttons at top and fixed touch wheel. It worked well and I even developed "piPod" for it, a little set of files that rested in the Notes folder that told you where to get good pizza in NYC. That little "app" brought Slice a lot of attention. This iPod served me well until the day I was visiting my friend Janice, sitting up on her apartment rooftop on a weak chair. The leg broke, and I fell, cracking the LCD display. The pod still worked—I just couldn't see what it was playing. I got by for a while, then did without, then bought a ...

iPod Photo (60GB): This was the top-of-the-line iPod for, oh, about 2 months. Then the damn iPod video model came out. Ugh! Apple made such a big deal about how, with mine, they were all going to have color screens!!! Woo-dee-fucking-doo. They were probably just trying to get rid of all their small color screens before switching to the video iPod. Anyway, this is my iPod today. I haven't upgraded to video iPod or the iPhone—yet. I'm sure I'll move to the iPhone one day, but not until after the first generation. I've learned my lesson.

And, I forgot the peripherals! ...

Pro Mouse (White): Purchased pretty soon after it became available, to make laptop computing easier when using my iBook G3 at home. This mouse served me fine until the Mighty Mouse came out.

Mighty Mouse: I was lured by the 360° scroll wheel. The scroll wheel worked like a charm while it lasted. Unfortunately, it gums up with dirt pretty easily, and despite the suggested cleaning routine, mine never started working again. I liked the added two-button feature (finally, Apple! Took you fucking long enough to bow your head and admit that MS had something here). But it didn't work well. It never really did sense when I was applying pressure to the left or right sides of the mouse. I replaced it with a non-Apple product. A Microsoft Intellimouse. My MS mouse is AWESOME.

Airport Express: Works like magic! I love being wireless anywhere in my apartment and out in my garden on nice days. I like that I can stream music to my stereo. I only wish it could stream regular non-iTunes sound to the stereo as well.

Claire says I should now "add up all the money [I've] given to Steve Jobs throughout the years," but I just can’t. I don’t remember the retail price of some of these machines, plus, I’d be too depressed

Question by kwels: how much would an internal hard drive for a Dell studio 17 1735 laptop cost?
My friend got mad and tossed my laptop onto the table, from about a foot up, and now when I turn the computer on, the hard drive clicks and my computer won’t boot up correctly. It does say that it cannot access the hard drive. The laptop is a Dell Studio 17 1735. Since the internal hard drive is the problem, how much would a replacement harddrive cost and do I have to send it to Dell to put the hard drive in, since I’m not very good with fixing computers.

- Thank you for your time.
