Fujitsu LOOX F-07C review
Posted in: cellphone, Features, Japan, mobile phone, MobilePhone, nfc, PC, phone, qwerty, review, slider, symbian, Today's Chili, UMPC, video, Windows, windows 7, Windows7
For those who’ve been dwelling on this planet long enough, you might just remember a category of mobile computers by the name of UMPCs. In particular, think Sony’s VAIO UX, the OQO devices and the elusive xpPhone. Alas, those Windows devices were — and probably still are — well ahead of their time no thanks to their battery life, bulkiness and sometimes cost; though for some bizarre reason, Fujitsu begs to differ. In fact, said company took one step further and released a hybrid device in Japan: the LOOX F-07C, a QWERTY slider phone that can switch between Symbian and Windows 7 at a click of a button. Interesting combination, right? Read on to find out how this weird device fares in real life.

Acer M310 Windows Phone said to have HDMI-out, 8GB storage
Posted in: ASUS, mango, Microsoft, mobilepostmini, Today's Chili, Windows, windows phone, windows phone 7, WindowsPhone, WindowsPhone7, Wp7
We first heard about the existence of the Acer M310 Windows Phone last week, but literally no information was given besides the fact that two test units were discovered on a developer’s traffic sheet. How about a few more shreds of meat to chew on? According to WindowsPhoneNZ, the Mango device was sighted at TechEd New Zealand with HDMI-out support. We may be seeing this feature across a large variety of Windows Phones coming out this fall, as the HTC Eternity has been rumored to include video output via HDMI as well. The observer claims the M310 has a “black shiny look” and “bevelled edges,” has a similar appearance to the Acer W4 (shown in the above image), and includes DLNA support over WiFi. The handset was also seen snuggling up to Asus’ entry into the Windows Phone market, which was said to have a matte black finish and may have a front-facing camera. Certainly, if these factoids are correct, this fall’s Mango lineup looks to be laden with all kinds of hidden gems we haven’t seen on Microsoft’s OS yet.

Windows 7 Download NOT Leaked
Posted in: leaked, Software, Today's Chili, Windows, windows 7This article was written on January 28, 2008 by CyberNet.
With all the buzz surrounding Windows 7 in the last two weeks it comes as no surprise that there is a supposed leaked copy floating around the Internet. Torrent sites quickly picked up on the “leaked” version of Windows, and after that it started to spread like wildfire.
As users finished downloading the 2.19GB worth of data reports of the validity started coming in, and they weren’t good. It turns out that the whole thing is just an empty file that serves no purpose. Yes, it was all just a joke. Funny, huh?
For the curious minds out there doing a Google search for one of the following terms will bring up a list of sites that have the torrent available:
win7.6519.1.071220-1525.lab_internal.milestone1
OR
Windows 7 M1 – REPACKED ISO
I haven’t tried the download myself, but there are several reports of the file containing all 0′s when being opened in a hex editor, revealing that it is not the real deal.
Something is really boggling my mind though. Where’s the sense in wanting to give this a shot ? It looks like Vista, and will act like Vista with only some minor changes. There will probably be hardware compatibility issues, crashing, and more that will plague the operating system when it’s at such an early stage. Even if the download was real I still wouldn’t be enticed enough to want to try it out.

Microsoft promises ‘robust’ USB 3.0 support in Windows 8
Posted in: Microsoft, Today's Chili, usb, usb 3.0, Usb3.0, video, Windows, windows 8, Windows8
No points for calling this one, but Microsoft confirmed today that Windows 8 will indeed boast support for the USB 3.0 specification, and “robust” support at that. That includes not just the higher transfer speeds you’d expect, but the promise of better battery life thanks to the improved power management measures the specification allows. Naturally, Microsoft will also continue to support all of your less speedy USB devices, and says that it’s actually created a brand new Microsoft USB Test Tool (or MUTT) to ensure everything works without a hitch — it’s described as “1,000 devices on a USB thumb drive.” Head on past the break for a quick demo video.

Compatible AntiVirus Software List for Windows Vista
Posted in: Software, Today's Chili, Windows, Windows VistaThis article was written on February 02, 2007 by CyberNet.
One of the major factors that is keeping people from upgrading to Windows Vista is the software compatibility factor. Not all software is prepared for Vista which can make the upgrade frustrating. There are several sites putting together lists of software as they become compatible. You can find the complete list here, broken down into categories. It’s a Wiki, so if you know of additional software that’s Vista Compatible, you can go ahead and add it to the list. Below you’ll find a list of compatible AntiVirus software. Afterall, a good anti-virus is absolutely necessary, and one of the first things you should probably install.
AntiVirus:
- ALWL Software avast! v4.7 Home and Professional (32/64-bit)
- ClamWin
- ESET NOD32 v2.70.16 or newer (32/64 bit)
- Etrust EZ CA Antivirus v8.2.0.13 (32-bit)
- Grisoft AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition/Professional edition (32/64 bit)
- Kapersky AntiVirus and Internet Security
- McAfee AntiVirus (32-bit), Security Advisor for IE or Firefox, Stinger v2.60
- Microsoft Windows Live OneCare 1.5 Beta
- Norman Virus Control
- Symantec Norton Antivirus 06/07, Internet Security, Norton 360, Antivirus Corporate Edition
- Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security 2006, and 2007
Other Vista Stuff:
FYI: Despite the fact that Nero 7.5.7.0 is the latest version of software and claims to support Vista, there’s a minor glitch when installing it. OldManDeath commented on this back in October, we personally experienced this, and SLA sent us a message about it recently. When installing Nero Premium 7.5 on Vista, you’ll get a dialogue window telling you that it wants to improve your system by installing DirectX 9.0c. However, Vista comes with DirectX 10.0 built-in! It’s wanting to take you back to a previous version. This was an issue back in October, and it’s still an issue today; unfortunately we don’t have a screenshot of it.

Create Custom Hotkeys for Windows
Posted in: Freeware, Software, Today's Chili, WindowsThis article was written on May 05, 2010 by CyberNet.
Windows only 
Keyboard shortcuts are something I’ve always try to make the most of, and doing so has served me well over the years. One thing that Windows has seemingly lacked was a way to let me make my own keyboard shortcuts, but with Clavier+ I am one step closer to eternal keyboard bliss.
What makes it so great? Well, for starters it is a system-wide keyboard shortcut application. That means it will work inside of any app. The other thing that really won me over was the fact that it takes up a mere 1.7MB of memory when running, which is so little that I don’t have to think twice about leaving it run in the background.
Here are a few things worth pointing out:
- You can restrict shortcuts to certain applications, and this is really simple. There is a “target” icon that you can drag onto the window you want to include/exclude.
- When creating keyboard shortcuts you can specify whether the Caps Lock, Num Lock, and/or Scroll Lock keys have to be on or off for the activation to be successful.
- You can set up a shortcut to launch a program/website, or output some text to the field currently selected on the screen.
Grab Clavier+ if you’ve been eager to create some keyboard shortcuts you can call your very own.

Vista Home Premium For $110 & A Detailed Feature Comparison
Posted in: Software, Today's Chili, WindowsThis article was written on October 30, 2006 by CyberNet.
Newegg is currently offering Windows XP Media Center Edition for just $110 which sounds like a lot of money but it really isn’t when you put it into perspective. For purchasing that you will receive an upgrade to Windows Vista Home Premium when it is released in early 2007. According to the prices that Microsoft made available earlier this year Vista Home Premium will cost $239, so you get more than half off with this deal!
There are no upgrade plans available for Windows Vista Ultimate so you will have to fork out a lot of dough in order to get that version. I’m sure many of you, like me, are wondering what the real differences are between all of the different versions. There is a really nice feature comparison chart that Microsoft put together in this 60MB product guide but I wouldn’t make you download that whole thing, would I?
Of course I wouldn’t so you can view the enormous Vista feature comparison table right here on CyberNet News. Now you shouldn’t take for granted being able to view that so easily! Converting the ugly HTML code that Microsoft Word spits out into something that is compatible with more than just Internet Explorer was not an easy task. In fact, the HTML was so terrible that I almost wanted to cry…but I was determined to get it done. 
One thing that is important to note is that Vista Premium does not support “Two
processors (two processor sockets)” which means that you can’t have two processors. However, Vista Premium does support dual core processors which is why Microsoft was careful to note the “two processor sockets” part.

Microsoft Announces Windows 8 App Store

A blog post on MSDN by Steven Sinofsky, President of Microsoft’s Windows Division, confirms there will be a Windows 8 app store.
In the post, Sinofsky lists the teams that are working on Windows 8, and right towards the top of the alphabetical list is “App Store.”
Based on a legitimate-looking roadmap that was leaked last summer, we suspected Microsoft would eventually launch its own Windows 8 app store. One of the slides in the roadmap pointed to competitor Apple’s success for providing a “high quality, uncomplicated” product, while another outlined plans to replicate the company’s successful app store model. Apple opened the doors of its own Mac App Store in January.
“When we started building Windows 8 we had a clear sense of the direction we were heading and so we built a team structure to support that direction,” Sinofsky says in the post. He also goes into detail about how the teams divide responsibility, are made up of different roles, and how they go through the engineering process to deliver their product.

Windows 8 App Store officially announced, we’re all shocked

Windows president Steven Sinofsky has confirmed that Windows 8 is getting an app store. He casually dropped the scoop whilst listing the software’s dev teams as if he was listing the week’s groceries. Such a tease, that man.
