Twelve South products help create an ergonomic and beautiful workspace for MacBook and iPad users If you're looking for a great way to get more out of your MacBook and your iPad, I have a recommendation: Consider getting Twelve South's HiRise stand for the MacBook, and pair it with the new HoverBar 3. Both help you get more out of the gear you already have. HiRise for MacBook Using a MacBook on a desktop can be an ergonomic nightmare. Depending on the height of your chair, the height of your desk and your own dimensions, you can give yourself a mighty neckache, backache or eyeache by keeping the laptop too low. The solution is to get your MacBook off the…

Writing a SQLite wrapper component for universal Windows apps
by Guest Windows Apps Team- 0 replies
- 124 views
This post was written by Dave Risney, Software Design Engineer in the Operating Systems Group New to Windows Phone 8.1 is the ability to create and run apps written in JavaScript like you can on Windows 8.1. However, there are some differences in the specific APIs available to apps on Windows Phone 8.1. One such difference is that IndexedDB isn’t available on the Phone and thus presents a challenge for developers writing universal Windows apps in JavaScript that need queryable structured storage. In this post we’ll see how to create a Windows Runtime component through which we can use SQLite, a small, fast, and reliable database library that’s freely available and supp…

MEMORY_MANAGEMENT Asus q501la
by Guest JeffersonLotspeich- 0 replies
- 495 views
I have an 8-month old ASUS Q501LA laptop (touchscreen, Intel i5-4200U, 6GB RAM, 750GB HDD) running Windows 8 (not 8.1), and it frequently forces a shut down when I've close the screen and have it unplugged. (This happens frequently as I take it to work and bring it home everyday.) Usually, it is off when I open it back up after I've arrived at work or home, and I get a message after I turn it on, or log back in, saying Windows had to shut down because of an error. Sometimes it's simply shut down when I get to work or back home, and sometimes it has rebooted itself. I am always careful to save any work before closing the lid, but I feel like I shouldn't have to "walk on eg…

Windows Recovery
by Guest MalcolmRobb- 0 replies

I bought a Dell XP13 from the Microsoft Store and it came with Windows 7. I upgraded to Windows 8, 8.1 and 8.1 Update. I believe my PC has a virus and despite doing scans with Defender, it does not pick anything up. I am trying to do a Clean Install and went to PC Settings, Update and Recovery, Recovery and then tried all the options but I get a message saying " Insert Media. Some files are missing. Your windows installation or recovery media will provide these files" It then only gives me a Cancel option so I am stuck with what I have got. I can buy another copy of Windows 8.1 but am a bit loathed to do this and even if I did have a new disc I cannot get to a state to st…

Multiple BSODs. Help please.
by Guest DarrenEspinosa- 0 replies
- 396 views
Hi guys. I've had multiple BSODs recently about: -data_inpage_kernel (something...) -0x000000f4 -0x00000116 -nvlddmkm.sys I'll get a random BSOD when I use it. And, sometimes I can't even startup my laptop because it keeps giving me BSODs. Two months ago, I've only had the one data_inpage_kernel thing. To fix it, I followed this post that repaired the system files using an installation disk. It prevented any further BSODs. But now, it came back and I'm experiencing multiple BSODs. How do I fix this? My laptop is an Acer Aspire V3-771G-9875 Thanks a lot guys. Continue reading...

How to remove malware 'webporpoise'
by Guest JohnGDean- 0 replies
- 491 views
I have a really nasty malware infection. The malware is named 'webporpoise'; the name is found in the registry. I could not clense it with malicious software removal tool (MSRT) nor with Defender. One reference I found on the web was warning that there are many URLs on the web put there by the malware authors purporting to automatically remove webporpoise, but instead they make the infection worse. Good warning, but I always go only to Microsoft or TechNet for this kind of problem. Problem is... I do not find any references specifically to webporpoise. The behavior of the malware is that it makes many common words in any text into hyperlinks and, if your mouse p…
