Windows Vienna

Heard of Windows Vienna? or Windows 7? Vienna will be the upcoming OS by Microsoft. It is expected to be released in 2009. There is no reliable source currently to how the new windows' interface would be, since Microsoft have not released its beta test to public, only released Milestone to partners. However, Microsoft said that Vienna will be focused on performance, and is expected to be more efficient than previous versions of Windows. Microsoft also ensures that with the new OS, Vienna, there will be no more compatibility issues, unlike the time when Vista was just released. On the right is a "leaked" image of Vienna, supposed to be released to only the Partners of Microsoft, but we are not sure on whether this will be the released version of Vienna.

Yzuke's Projects and Past achievements

Here is a showcase of what I have done throughout the years.

Started in kindergarten















Later in the years of primary school life, there wasn't much of me in this area.
I was part of the the school infocomm team.
Was exposed to powerpoint slides creation.

Secondary School life was the most interesting of all. The first step was getting into a tablet PC class. Got new tablet pc in Secondary one, which is the one I'm currently using.

Video Production in video journalism earned me an award.





And it simply got better with many other projects like the annual video project for Sec 3s. This year themed" Live It".



Both technology and video production are part of my life. Realising dreams and working forward to it is what makes someone successful.

Gadget Review: Creative HansVision PX2051 e-Dictionary

Approved by the Singapore Examinations Assessment Board (SEAB),
this e-dictionary is all you need in your chinese O'levels examinations in singapore.

1)Starts up quick in just 3 seconds, this chinese e-dictionary allows you to search for all the different chinese words you need to know. Includes multiword input( for example, type xinjiapo for a 3 word search of Singapore in chinese).

2)Input is by pinyin or strokes.
3)Uses 2 AAA batteries. Low electrical energy consumption.
4)Weighs just a mere 115gram, one tenth of a typical mini version chinese dictionary.
5)Designed with an audio jack for you to plug you earphones in to listen to clear pronounciation of the works.
6)Cheapest e-dicitionary around. It costs about S$20 over dollars only in creative store.

Mac on PC? Who says its impossible?

Here, Mac OS 10 leopard was installed on a Lenovo R60. It failed on the Fujitsu T4020. I supposed a dual-core processor is needed for it to work.


Who says it's impossible? But I think you don't want to do it.

















Why?

Firstly, Mac OS are not meant for PCs. It is illegal to install Mac on a PC.
Secondly, Mac are just not meant for PCs! Many hardwares won't work. For this instance of the lenovo R60, the wireless won't work. The rest works perfectly.



I would not encourage people to install it, but if you are daring enough and want to give it a try, you can try iatkos and kalyway distributions.

I had mine uninstalled immediately after realising that wireless can't work.


Tech You On do not support things that are illegal. We will only try them out and review about it.

Woohoo! New HDD!

TABLET PC UPGRADED!


















All new HDD installed in my T4020.
Though its quite an old tablet PC, but at least its workable for me.
320gB. Spacious! Storage will never be a problem again!






The old 40gB hdd in the tablet pc was taken out, mounted to a external sata case, and tadaa! New external hard disk for backup!

Bought them at laser distribution at sim lim. Compared with other distributors in sim lim, found them to be at the cheapest and most reasonable price.

320GB 5400rpm 2.5" SATA HDD(HITACHI) - S$139
Slim SATA-USB casing- S$12















Currently Dual Booting on a Windows Vista and Ubuntu System.

First support case!

Haha. Finally, I managed to got a case worth working on. I met someone with problems on her computer. Here comes TechYouOn to the rescue!

Scenario:
my tablet crashed.
thats the worst thing that can happen.
freaking screen turned red T.T

MY SONGS ARE GONE, WHATTHE****.
and thats why i'm so damn ****ing miserable.
i dont care if i cant use for like a few days man.

I didnt even back up la omggggggggggg.
seriously, i think i GG already, my school stuff!

AND
my songs my songs my songs my songs my songs my songs my songs my songs my songs my songs!

*quoted from friend's blog.

Here is the challenge.
Analysis:
1) Freaking screen turned red- Perhaps theres a ram failure? Mine had undergone something quite similar 2 years back. I've got red, green, blue, purple, all sorts of colours. Sometimes even a distorted screen. Got ram changed and problem was solved. Perhaps theres a hard disk failure or what. Can take a look at bios settings and run a few tests.

2) Stucked at computer logo screen- I suppose when theres a hardware problem, these things happen. Not likely to be hard disk failure. If theres a hard disk failure, normally there would be messages indicating missings core files and perhaps "No OS Detected"
3)Unable to boot into windows-Corrupted windows file?
4)Retrieve data back without booting into windows.-Easy!

Let me explain in retrieving data back without booting into windows.
Since you can boot into windows, you cannot access your files from that system anymore. There is a need for another system, either to boot from it, or view the files in it. From this case, we will not boot from it, as there may be a hard disk failure. So, a simple tool like a SATA usb case can do the work. (BTW, the hdd is sata 2.5" for laptops. Tablet PC you see) Plug the usb into another computer system, if detected, you can start backing up!








We have not tried it yet, but will give another post to the results of this case.
Hope I succeed in the first support provided!
