I have a not so new laptop that features ATI Radeon HD 3650 Mobility graphics cards. Which is quite fine for the usual tasks. According to AMD website it features OpenGL 3.2 which is, again, good enough. Nothing spectacular but fine. Lately I’ve upgraded it to a SSD disk and at the same time I did a...

I had a good old Asus EEE 1005HA netbook running Windows 7 just fine, albeit slow. The best way of speed it up was to upgrade it to a SSD. The I/O difference should speed it up considerably as the original disk was a 5400rpm one. The SSD prices are low enough, too. So I went and bought a small, reasonably...

Due to some recent BSODs on my system where I couldn’t find out the source of the problems I’ve opted for a simple solution of replacing CPU, motherboard and RAM. I am not a huge believer in SSDs due to their problems (pricey, not exactly super reliable) but still, I decided to go with a SSD used for...

The challenge of mounting your smartphone on the bicycle is much bigger than one would assume. There is one rule though – avoid cheap mounting solutions otherwise the Gorilla glass will have to show its strength. There are few solutions, one of those is using RAM Mount holders which are supposed...

Today I’ve presented .NET Micro Framework to the students of Nova Gorica. I demonstrated running the C# code on Netduino by taking photos (on demand from client) using C328R camera, sending the JPG bytes over the wireless PAN provided by the two XBee Pros and showing the image within the WPF application...

Not long ago I’ve purchased an ASUS Transformer (Eee pad) Honeycomb tablet. Good specs, great price. I’d buy it even sooner if it weren’t for ASUS’ blunder with not providing enough units to the market (for some reason they released this great tablet in ultra-low quantities and it took almost a quarter...

Par novih dejstev glede SAZAS, država in računalništvo, prvič , predvsem po zaslugi @Bekstejdz –a. 1. SAZAS ne prejme ves znesek iz nadomestil temveč “le” 32-40%. Drugo si razdelijo Zavod IPF in rezervacije (karkoli že to pomeni). Letno poročilo Zavoda IPF za 2009 . 2. Zgleda...

Ljudje se pritožujemo nad višino vseh možnih davkov, a ne. Redko kdo pa ve, da obstaja še ena zla dajatev, ki je še bistveno bolj prikrita in se ji strokovno reče nadomestilo. In to so nadomestila za privatno in drugo lastno repoduciranje - SAZASu na (računalniško) strojno opremo in medije. Dejmo si...

I was running a Windows Home Server under VMWare Virtual Server as a guest machine. It had a dedicated 750GB hard disk to host a fixed size virtual disk spanning entire hard disk. These days I am migrating this and other virtual machine to the Hyper-V 2008 R2 free server and here is how I did migrate...

Before owning an Android phone (Samsung Galaxy S) I had a HTC TyTN II which is a Windows Mobile 6.1 device. Until recently it was lying in a drawer because I didn’t know what to do with it. I didn’t want to give it away because I was afraid to turn the new owner into an enemy due the the poor quality...

Že nekaj časa spremljam Android telefone na spletu vendar zares nisem imel opravka še z nobenim. Največ kar je, sem si ogledal na hitro kakšen prijateljev telefon. No, zadnje čase malo resneje premišljujem da bi si nabavil enega zase – se mi zdi, da je Android že kar uporaben...

I’ll be developing a multitouch application in WPF 4.0 running on Windows 7 and using Windows 7 native multitouch (supported in WPF 4.0) running in portrait mode. Dual finger touch should be enough. I have all the tools handy except for one: a multitouch input device aka multitouch monitor. So I am looking...

Here is my current short list of two companies involved with hardware and/or software sale that I won’t buy from again due to the various reasons. First is HTC , yes, the one that produces all sort of phones. In fact it massively produces new versions monthly. Does this suggest that they are smart and...

I have been bicycling for almost two decades now. I started with a Cannondale M700 cross country not-suspended mountain bike which I still own and use for non demanding terrain such as roads. Every (mountain) bicycle should have a bicycle computer and looking back I still remember my first bicycle “computer...

The last ingredient is the chassis. Likewise PSU it looks like you don’t need to be careful when picking one. Wrong. Chassis are very different and details are important. Let’s go by features in no significant order. Weight Cheaper chassis are mostly build from steel (at best the front cover is made...
