Installed Windows 7 Home Basic on netbook

I installed Windows 7 on my Dell mini 10. Was bored of Windows XP coz quite a few drivers were crapping and it was evident that Windows XP days are gone and Windows 7 is the future. Though the netbook is seriously under powered and does not have a Optical drive, I installed Windows 7 Home Basic 32 bit. The config of the netbook is an Intel Atom 1.6GHz, 1 GB RAM and 320 GB HDD.

The times it took to install are as follows:
Copying Started:  8:28:45
Finished Copying: 8:36:11
Completing Installing: 8:41:43
Setup is preparing your computer for first use: 8:42:45
Computer name: 8:45:00
Desktop: 8:48:50

 

Pretty decent figure I must say for a netbook.

Galaxy S2

It has been 2 months now since I got this phone. Previously I was using the Galaxy Spica, and after using that for almost a year I got the feeling to upgrade to something better. While I was thinking of going on to something better I also wanted to get something that will not hang no matter what I throw at it. Hence the S2. This phone sports a Dual core 1GHz processor, 1 GB of RAM and a 4.3 inch screen. The Super AMOLED Plus screen is a cherry on the cake. One needs to get used to the phone size at first.

Problems…… other phones seem puny

long time no see

Well to be honest, I’m very very busy this past few months, and I haven’t been able to read up the regular sites that I usually do. Just wanted my blog to know that I’m still alive

Mac OSX

So I installed Mac OSX on VMWare. Not that I was proving anything but just for the heck of it. Anyways here is a screenshot and yes you can isntall it too.. just make sure you get the right Mac OSX iso. I was stuck the first time coz of a improper DVD so you take care.

Swype

I got to know from a friend of mine that Swype for android was awesome. Well here is my first post using Swype. I’m not that fast at it right now, but maybe once I have some practice I will get better at this. Try it out if to you have an android phone.

Samsung Galaxy Spica

Well I have this phone since a month now. And after a horrifying experience from the Samsung service centre now the phone is on Eclair 2.1 update 1. Its performing pretty nicely. I’m still getting used to it slowly. For 12.5k its a pretty decent phone I must say.

Search Everything

Well I had been using AvaFind. But since I formatted Vista and installed Windows 7 I thought of using the default built in Search system. But sadly enough I wasnt satisfied so I installed Search Everything. Well its free it does its biz pretty smartly and efficiently and it allows you to configure the hot key to whatever u want. So head to voidtools and install it right away.

:P

Realtek Audio and Windows 7

If you are one of the people who are using Windows 7 with a motherboard which has a Realtek Audio chip, then you might’ve experienced a very very low level of full volume. As I thought it was a driver problem. Now Realtek has come out with an updated driver which solves this problem. Grab it here

Tweetie 2.0

I have been using Tweetie to tweet since quite sometime now. I love its interface and I do not need to wait for the user pages to load and stuff. In short am hooked on Anyway I had been using Tweet 1.3.2 all this time. So I just updated to Tweetie 2.0 and its got some updates that I wanted. Not that it was something that I was missing but what the hell I love it. Also they have tweaked the interface a little bit so all in all its awesome. Let me see if I can find anything wrong with this.
