Sure, you read our liveblog of Steve Jobs’ D8 conference — and believe us, it’s heavily quotable — but don’t you want to see and hear the Apple CEO claim HyperCard was huge in its day? Or perhaps you’re more interested in his thoughts on Flash, market cap, and the iPad origins — either way, videos are after the break, with presumably more to come from All Things D.
Update: Four new videos have been added!

We know, you’re probably eager to brush off yet another “embedded” operating system, but here at Computex, Microsoft is giving the naysayers a reason to think twice with the official debut of Windows Embedded Compact 7. Showcased along with a number of Windows 7 handhelds and slates at the company’s monstrous booth, the public community technology preview of the new OS is being made, with the goal to get this onto lightweight ARM-powered devices that either aren’t powerful enough for a full-fledged copy of Windows 7, or are simply aimed at a different market. Put simply, it’s yet another product that Microsoft can offer up and coming device makers who may otherwise consider MeeGo, Android or a plethora of other mobile OS options. We’ve got an interview session lined up with Steve Guggenheimer, corporate vice president of the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Division, for later today, but we just couldn’t wait to show you all of the Windows 7 and Windows Embedded Compact 7 tablet PCs that were impossible to avoid. Hit the gallery below (or video past the break) for specs and the like, and don’t blame us for those plastic covers — Microsoft wasn’t about to rip ’em off, as a fair amount of these are super early beta units.

According to Reuters, Foxconn will be raising worker wages an additional 10% from the original 20% raise announced last week. Foxconn spokesman, Arthur Huang, said that the 30% base wage increase takes effect immediately. Foxconn admits that it hopes to earn the respect of its workers and raise efficiency with the pay increase while offsetting rising costs on the Chinese mainland. The company’s shares fell by 2% following the announcement (in a market down just 0.4%, relatively), worried perhaps that the raise would erode operating profits. All this comes as more Foxconn deaths — now at 12 — are being reported. Family of Yan Li, a Foxconn engineer, claims that their son died of exhaustion after working non-stop for 34-hours, then returning for another 12-hours after a 10-hour break. Police have already ruled out suicide and homicide in the case. Nevertheless, Yan Li’s family is demanding 250,000 yuan (about 25 times the worker’s annual base salary) in compensation. Foxconn accepts no responsibility in the matter saying it would only pay out “humanitarian terms” to the family.

Looks like Sharp’s keeping its word — next month, the fourth-largest LCD TV maker will launch a slate of new 3D TVs in Japan, just as planned. Based on the same Sharp Quattron quad-pixel technology that made George Takei’s jaw drop, the new LV-series of AQUOS panels will come in 40-, 46-, 52- and 60-inch sizes when they debut July 30th, and feature 1080p resolution, UV²A panels and a high-speed signaling technology named FRED that Sharp says increases brightness and reduces crosstalk. More interesting are the AN-3DG10 glasses that come with them, which reportedly allow each individual viewer decide whether to view content in 2D or 3D — we’re guessing by tweaking the glasses to show either the left or right image to both eyes simultaneously, instead of flipping back and forth. Of course, you’ll also need something to watch, and thus Sharp will also release a pair of Blu-ray DVR units, the BD-HDW700 and BD-HDW70, which record two simultaneous Japanese television programs onto terabyte-sized hard drives when they’re not sending Blu-ray 3D content to the aforementioned displays.
While mum’s the word on pricing, Impress Watch believes the TVs will start around ¥280,000 (around $3,067) and top out at a cool ¥600,000 ($6,581) for that 60-incher, and says that US and European variants are expected later this year. While you wait, why not take a deep dive into the details — you’ll find an entire brochure’s worth at our source links.

One concern that many Website owners have is that their site will get hacked into and they will lose everything. That is why backup software normally costs an arm and a leg because people are willing to pay for a peace of mind.
That peace of mind no longer has to break your pocket book, in fact, you don’t even have to open your pocket book! The software I am about to discuss will help you setup a batch file to perfom a MySQL database backup. Then I will show you how to schedule the backup along with a few other details. Okay, I’ll go ahead and walk you through the steps.
–Getting Started–
–Create A Batch File–
–Edit The Batch File (Optional)–
This section will explain how you can add the date and time to the backup’s filename. If you do not perform these steps the backup will automatically overwrite the previous backup.
"C:\Backup Software\mysqldump.exe" example_database -hexample.com -uexample_user -pexample_password >"c:\example_database.sql"for /f "tokens=1,2" %%u in ('date /t') do set d=%%v
for /f "tokens=1" %%u in ('time /t') do set t=%%u
if "%t:~1,1%"==":" set t=0%t%
set timestr=%d:~6,4%%d:~3,2%%d:~0,2%%t:~0,2%%t:~3,2%
echo %timestr%
for /f "tokens=1,2" %%u in ('date /t') do set d=%%v
for /f "tokens=1" %%u in ('time /t') do set t=%%u
if "%t:~1,1%"==":" set t=0%t%
set timestr=%d:~6,4%%d:~3,2%%d:~0,2%%t:~0,2%%t:~3,2%
echo %timestr%
"C:\Backup Software\mysqldump.exe" example_database -hexample.com -uexample_user -pexample_password >"c:\example_database-%timestr%.sql"
–Schedule The Batch File–
Now we can schedule the file so that it will automatically perform the backups each day.
–Overview–
I hope that this will help you out because I know this is a big time saver for me! The biggest issue that some people may have is finding their database’s name and the username/password.
| Update: | DavidC commented below recommending the MySQL Administrator software. I haven’t used this before but it does look very powerful. |

From its humble origins as a chunky black box of PC parts, the Xbox has grown into a strapping young adult — attracting a social circle including Netflix, Facebook and Twitter. Now, rumor has it that the Xbox 360’s preening for a date with Hulu, too. Though plans aren’t set in stone, Gear Live tells us Hulu has been spotted in internal Xbox 360 dashboard builds, and that Microsoft will introduce the streaming video service as part of their Xbox LIVE experience at E3 2010. The publication is mighty certain here, but at this point we can’t corroborate for ourselves. If this does end up happening, the question is how much it might cost, as we hear there’s going to be some sort of fee — perhaps Hulu will be part of that “Xbox LIVE Platinum Tier” rumor that gets dragged out most every year.

This week, Donald’s back in the studio, joined by Eric Franklin and Dong Ngo from Inside CNET Labs. We ponder Japan’s plans to turn the moon into a playground for robots, and tackle OLED displays that roll and vanish. Dong drops some knowledge on recent hard drive innovations and a waterproof case for his Flip Ultra HD. The iPad meets Velcro. And the hoverboard makes a comeback (kinda).

Although most of his Computex keynote was about its new Atom initiatives, Intel EVP David Perlmutter found time to praise Intel’s next major chip architecture, code-named “Sandy Bridge.” Perlmutter promises significant performance increases, according to Permutter. In part, this is because the CPU, media processor, and graphics component will all use the firms latest 32nm process. Indeed, he showed a demo of a Sandy Bridge processor rendering a complex 3D game and holding its own against a system with a discrete graphic card. Here is the video, so you can see for yourself. Just remember, products won’t be on store shelves until Q1 of 2010.
