Now pointlessly enhanced with AI
I just finished installing Windows 8 Developer Preview on a Fujitsu convertible tablet. Well, none of the tablet button is working yet, and I might need a new stylus.

The Metro interface is so frustrating to use without a capacitive screen.
I posted a rant on my personal WordPress page on Tuesday about staying away from POP-Mail. Having to deal with a client with 14,000 emails on his Yahoo! Small Business email, I was planning to move their email services to Google Apps.
To my surprise, Yahoo Small Biz Team (@YSmallBizCare) commented on my rant.
Hi, sorry to hear you’ve had trouble with your Yahoo! services.
We thought you might like to know that due to recent upgrades, Yahoo!’s New Small Business Mail now supports IMAP configuration.
Please contact us anytime at http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/contactus for assistance getting this setup.
That certainly solved the one problem I was dealing with for the past few days. I immediately added the IMAP settings (imap.mail.yahoo.com Port 993 with SSL) for the client.
If you are using Yahoo! Small Business Mail, you really wants to read this help page.
Thank You, Yahoo Small Biz Team.
It barely took 4 weeks, and apparently HP is processing my order of TouchPads. Since they have successfully taken money out of my card, this means the TouchPad are shipping, aren’t they? By the way, CyanogenMod port of Android for TouchPad is coming along nicely.
Apple released updates to Final Cut Pro X, including Motion and Compressor.
Notable changes on Final Cut Pro X:
A lot of computers sold in 2011 comes with 4GB of ram or higher. For most, that amount of RAM is more than enough. For the past 3 months I found out that I personally needs at minimum 8GB of RAM. I’d go for 16GB as long as it doesn’t cost too much. I can get 2x4GB SO-DIMM RAM for under $60 while 2x8GB SO-DIMM costs more than $800.
I set-up a Mac mini earlier today. The office requires a certain Windows-only program, so I installed Windows on Parallels. It used all the RAM it could get and used up all 4GB. I’ve just ordered 2x4GB SO-DIMM RAM for the Mac mini. I know it would run better with more RAM.
One of the office computers was having problems throughout the week. I decided to take it home and troubleshoot it for the weekend. I found out there are some problems with the hard drive. The first thing I do is running Spinrite in recovery mode.
The good news is that Spinrite is able to recover data from the bad sector. The bad news is that the process is going to take longer than I expected.
Someone wants to know:
Is there going to be a RENO 911! season 7?
The answer is no.
