Hi Guys, i´ve just bought a new SSD and removed my old one. First i used the old one to do this: I went to download it, so i had to type in my key to get it and did so. Downloaded the iso and burned it and powered Down and removed the old one. In with the new one, booted from the DVD and all was fine. Untill it said "Activate Windows" in the update section. I tried that and it would not accept it. Then i tried the other activation place and it said "error 0xC004F061" I got the email from when i bought it, that says "Windows 8 Pro" and then the key follows. My first Windows was Win 8 RC and then i accepted the offer to make it genuine when they…

Sometimes when using my Windows 7 64bit with all the latest updates the mouse will freeze/stutter during disc access. It moves around the screen in jumps. Making it hard to use. I can use the keyboard fine in games like Warcraft. But the mouse does not work well until the drive light goes out. It happens it seems more during a indexing of the drive. Right after I delete files or move some. On my last Windows Update it shows that I have no updates to do other than language ones. Is there a way to fix this? Continue reading...

linux boot disable display/framebuffer update
by Guest kiran_g- 0 replies
- 256 views
I want a custom splash screen to be displayed during bootloader,kernel-boot and init phases of booting. I am able to add my logo for u-boot. Rather than customizing kernel to show the same logo, I want to fully disable the kernel from updating the framebuffer/display. I tried the kernel command line options "quiet vga=normal nofb nomodeset video=vesafb:off i915.modeset=0" (All together). But this not working. The screen goes black after u-boot. I think something like this is already implemented in Ubuntu. When ubuntu is booting, kernel messages are hidden by a color screen. How is this implemented? Can someone let me know if this is possible. If yes, how? Cont…

WWDC 2010 Flashback: iPhone 4, iOS 4, Safari 5
by Guest Peter Cohen- 0 replies
- 279 views
As we head towards WWDC 2014 we thought it would be fun to look back at Apple World Wide Developer Conferences past, what they introduced, and what impact they made. Today let's take a look at WWDC 2010, the first post-iPad WWDC, and the last WWDC to feature the introduction of an iPhone... Apple's dominance as a mobile developer was on display in 2010. While in previous years WWDC tickets were available for weeks or even months prior to the date (with early bird discounts available, too), WWDC 2010 sold out in eight days — and every ticket was full price. The iPad made its debut in April of that year; by late May, Apple announced it had already sold 2 million of th…

Bank of America app receives interface overhaul in latest update
by Guest Andrew Martonik- 0 replies
- 302 views
Bank of America has had a pretty tired-looking (albeit functional) app for some time, and with today's update it's getting an interface refresh. No portion of the UI was left untouched, with a new main account screen that's simpler and more finger-friendly. You can quickly toggle between Bill Pay, Transfers and Deposit Checks along the top, or tap into your different accounts listed. A new slide-in panel gives you access to alerts, deals, settings, contact information and BofA locations. The app is still a tad less responsive loading than we'd like (we're assuming it's downloading the data as it goes to cut down on caching), but scrolling and selecting have picked up t…

Apple paid over $2.5 billion for Beats Electronics, slightly less than $500 million for Beats...
by Guest Andrew Martonik- 0 replies
- 308 views
Details of the Apple acquisition of Beats are shedding a bit more light on where the value is coming from, indicating that the streaming music portion of the company is worth just shy of $500 million. That places the value of the Beats Electronics business at $2.5 billion, which in itself had nearly $1.5 billion in revenue in 2013. Saying that the Beats streaming service is worth even $500 million is a bit ambitious, though, as it was revealed during the acquisition that it has only 250,000 subscribers, making each customer worth a whopping $2000. By contrast, Spotify has 10 million subscribers paying roughly the same $10 per month subscription fee and is valued at $4 …

Trying to reinstall Windows XP on a Laptop but the Valid and Legal license key isn't accepted

Hi there I have been trying for a while now to get Windows XP reinstalled on an old laptop, simply to get it working again but the license key on the certificate is not working. This is very frustrating as I know that the key is valid and that it is legal. The sticker is still stuck to the bottom of the laptop and is still legible so I have been taking it from the source it was provided, but still is does not work. I am trying to install Windows XP Home on to an Acer laptop. The key is D22HK-4KP96-BYPB8-YYGQY-4VDHW. Please can someone confirm whether this code is still good to use and if it is not, please explain why.... Regards J Brewer C…
