Original title: Unable to reinstall win8 I tried to re-install windows 8 into my laptop today from a recovery disk that I got from Samsung and windows wouldn't boot. The first time I run the software recovery it got windows up and running again. However, 5 hours later after I turned it off for awhile, windows refused to boot and I was right back at square one again. Does anyone know what might be wrong with the computer? I was beginning to think that the HDD was going bad, then again,I might be wrong. Can someone help before I am forced to go buy another computer? Continue reading...

Windows 8 is the worst
by Guest DougErickson- 0 replies
- 473 views
Bought a laptop that had Windows 8 on it. Can I delete this system and get XP or 7? Windows 8 must never have been focus group tested. It is the least intuitive system I have ever seen. Annoying, ugly and very, very cluttered. That swipe from the right feature keeps popping up whenever I try to page down on a document, you can't change the ugly icon littered desktop, etc.. Terrible system. Continue reading...

Hey everybody, Still real sick, but having my first OK day in a while and want to pick up a project I dropped a few months back and I'm stuck. I took apart an Inspiron 1501 to clean it and repaste the CPU b/c it was over heating. It's been sitting in pieces for months. I'm trying to put it back together. It's been so long I forgot how I took it apart (followed a video). Now all the videos and service manuals I'm finding only show tearing it apart and not how to put it back together. I'm not up for the mental leaps of trying to work backwards. I'm still looking but any help finding a video with someone actually putting the stupid thing back together would…

Getting killed message when doing cat /dev/myModule
by Guest baljit92- 0 replies
- 451 views
I'm a newbie in linux kernel programming and needed some help. I need to write a Linux kernel module that creates a block device /dev/theprocs that "contains" the process list. So I have written some code which gives me the list of the current processes. The only problem I am running into is displaying the list in stdout(the terminal) instead of the kernel log file. When I cat /dev/theprocs first time, its gives me the message "Killed". When I remove and install the module again; it works. So it works every alternate time. I need help in solving this issue. Code: #include <linux/module.h> #include<linux/sched.h> #include <linux/string.h&g…

Opera Mini updated for the first time since 2012 with new look, data savings
by Guest Joseph Keller- 0 replies
- 476 views
Opera Mini has been updated for the first time since October 2012, applying a fresh coat of paint to the app and adding a few new features in version 8. These features include Data Savings, themes, and a new way to discover content on the web. Being that this is the first update to Opera Mini since 2012, a complete visual overhaul is not surprising. Gone are the dark, heavy iOS 6 UI elements, replaced with a white, light interface in line with iOS 7. The new Speed Dial page resembles the Favorites page in Safari on iOS. As part of the new look, Opera lets you choose from a number of colorful themes for your Speed Dial, mimicing the colors of the iPhone 5c. But the…

SoundCloud has updated their app for iPhone and iPad to version 3.0, refreshing the design of the app on the iPhone. The new design places an emphasis on visual elements and cleanliness.

Apple releases updated 16GB iPod touch, drops price on 32GB and 64GB models
by Guest Joseph Keller- 0 replies
- 451 views
Apple has released an updated 16GB iPod touch for $199. While the previous 16GB model featured no rear camera and only came in Space Gray, the new version has a 5-megapixel iSight camera and comes in the same array of colors as the 32GB and 64GB models — space gray, silver, pink, yellow, blue, and (Product) red. The updated 16GB iPod touch is still based on the 2012 platform, still uses the the Apple A5 chip, and still has a 4-inch Retina display. In addition to the new 16GB model, the larger capacity versions have received a price drop. The 32GB iPod touch now costs $249, down from $299, while the 64GB model is now $299, formerly $399. Below is Apple's press rele…

Apple rumored to be launching a more affordable iPod touch next week
by Guest Rich Edmonds- 0 replies
- 499 views
The latest Apple rumors are indicating that the company is set to launch a new model of the iPod touch next week. According to the reports, a new variant will launch soon but there's little detail to go on in terms of specifications and/or features. MacRumors states the new device will be a modified version of the current 16GB iPod touch, but available at a more competitive price point. The iPod touch is believed to have a rear-facing camera, something the current 16GB Touch model fails to support. Not only that, but the device will be priced $30 cheaper. This wouldn't be the first time Apple has offered cheaper entry versions of existing products this year. Just loo…
