MY Chevy Volt?Hey,<br /><br />I've been following the Chevy Volt production for quite some time now and I love the original design and look of the car, it looks like something out of a futuristic movie, check this pic:<br /><br /><img src="http://notsodismal.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/chevy-volt-concept-07.jpg" alt="Chevy Volt Concept" title="Chevy Volt Concept" width="425" /><br /><br />Very nice right?<br /><br />But I just watched a few videos and it looks a little different than what I thought:<br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie"

+ IsoHunt = Download any Movie, TV Show, Music CDsHey,<br /><br />Here's a simple easy way to download any Movie, TV Show, CD, or anything.<br /><br />STEP 1 - Download and Install BitTorrent, it allows you to download anything.<br /><a href="http://www.bittorrent.com/">Download BitTorrent </a>after you download it, Run Setup and install the basic setup.<br /><br />STEP 2 - Go to <a href="http://isohunt.com/">IsoHunt.com</a> this site has a database of torrents, with virtually any Movie, TV Show, CD ever made! So SEARCH for anything. Example: "Home Alone" or "Seinfeld Seasons"<br /><br />STEP 3 - Click on S for Seeds, which stands for the number of people that are sharing the file for people to download. The more Seeds the Quicker the Download will go, and the more likely it is a Safe File.<br /><br />WARNING: Some of these files maybe viruses, so you should only download 1 or 2 at a time, and have a virus application like <a href="http://free.avg.com/ww-en/download?prd=afe">AVG (link)</a> installed to make sure it is NOT a Virus.<br /><br />STEP 4 - Download the Torrent for the file you want it will download quickly as it is only a torrent file.<br /><br />STEP 5 - BitTorrent should automatically open the Torrent file and ask you what Folder you want to save the movie file you want to download from the net.<br /><br />STEP 6 - Let BitTorrent download the file but DO NOT SHARE the file, as that would be Illegal, it is however Legal to Download a file.<br /><br />STEP 7 - Once you have downloaded the file (may take a few hours depending on the size of the file, usually movies take a few hours) Immediately Close BitTorrent, check to see if it stays open in the Lower Right Hand corner with the Green Square, Right-click it and Exit it.<br /><br />STEP 8 - Then go to the Folder you downloaded the file to and double click the file to run it. If it doesn't run or play correctly with Windows Media Player you may need to <a href="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html">Download VLC (link)</a><br /><br />STEP 9 - VLC will allow you to watch any movie in any format that you may have downloaded from BitTorrent. So try the movie with VLC, if it does not play in VLC and it doesn't work, immediately Delete the file as it may be a Virus or other Malicious file.<br /><br />And that's it...simple as 1,2,3.<br /><br />If you do happen to download a Virus I would recommend having a copy of AVG running so that it will scan the file before you run the Movie File, and if you do get Infected with a Virus, then <a href="http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html">Download Anti-Malware Bytes</a><br /><script type="text/javascript"><br />aR_BgColor="";aR_FgColor="";aR_url=location.href;<br />aR_title=document.title;aR_StarType ='0';<br />document.write('<div id="aR_star_info" style="height:60px;"></div>');<br />document.write('<scr'+'ipt type="text/JavaScript" src="http://addratings.com/aR_BootStrap.js"></scr'+'ipt>');<br /></script>Kyle Korpihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02121729121128185139noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7413774751130821248.post-66099527350889215952009-10-07T17:51:00.001-07:002009-10-07T17:52:28.026-07:00Rocket Dock - Turn your Windows machine into a MacHey,<script type="text/javascript"><br />aR_BgColor="";aR_FgColor="";aR_url=location.href;<br />aR_title=document.title;aR_StarType ='0';<br />document.write('<div id="aR_star_info" style="height:60px;"></div>');<br />document.write('<scr'+'ipt type="text/JavaScript" src="http://addratings.com/aR_BootStrap.js"></scr'+'ipt>');<br /></script><div>Check out this application for Windows called Rocket Dock, it creates a simple Mac like interface for the desktop, and is 100% customizable, try it out, customize it, and enjoy!</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://rocketdock.com/">http://rocketdock.com/</a></div>Kyle Korpihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02121729121128185139noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7413774751130821248.post-5875150718597716292009-10-06T18:57:00.000-07:002009-10-06T19:01:57.372-07:00Google Chrome, Quite Possibly the Best Browser EverHey,<script type="text/javascript"><br />aR_BgColor="";aR_FgColor="";aR_url=location.href;<br />aR_title=document.title;aR_StarType ='0';<br />document.write('<div id="aR_star_info" style="height:60px;"></div>');<br />document.write('<scr'+'ipt type="text/JavaScript" src="http://addratings.com/aR_BootStrap.js"></scr'+'ipt>');<br /></script><div><br /></div><div>If you haven't already downloaded and installed Google Chrome, well then sir, you are not TOO LATE!

A Script is something that Computer Programmers make to load videos, load photos, load page content, and ads, or even can run tracking cookies on your pc, and they will report your surfing habits. They could also be used to have Scripts that Steal your Passwords, Banking Passwords, or Track your Credit Card #'s, so if you buy things online then you need NoScript, so you don't get hacked, and have your Credit Card's stolen.<br /><br />Once installed and downloaded, Firefox needs to re-start, then the app is running. You can see if it is running by looking at the bottom right hand corner of the Firefox window will be an S with a white circle around it, click on that, and that is how you control what Scripts run on sites. You can either Trust this site, or Trust this Script, but NEVER Trust All Scripts! Block scripts that have "Ad" in it, so that they don't give you tracking cookies...<br /><br />Whenever you goto a new web-site NoScript will pop-up at the Bottom of the Screen and ask if you want to display all Scripts, or just a few from the Page, and you can click on the videos that have an F in the middle and say OK and they will play normally, but this is a GREAT PROTECTION from VIRUSES!!<br /><br />Also<span style="font-weight: bold;"> CCleaner,</span> which can be downloaded here - <a href="http://www.ccleaner.com/">http://www.ccleaner.com/</a> - this is a GREAT Application and MUST GET for WINDOWS USERS, because it will CLEAN your machine. When you download Scripts and Cookies, they stay on your machine whether you are Online or not, and they will report and track the sites you goto, also many Viruses are spread from cookies from un-trustworthy web-sites, so to get rid of them, get CCleaner and do a Full Clean, and remove everything it finds.<br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><br />CCleaner will clean your:</span><br /><ul><li>IE - cookies, history, etc.</li><li>Firefox - cookies, history, etc.</li><li>All browsers</li><li>Fix Regirstery Issues Also.</li></ul><br />I would recommend running this program whenever Windows un-expetecdly shuts off on you, which as we all know happens from time to time.

I just got this article from my dad about how EEStor is setting up its soon to be released battery for electric cars, and how it is going to revolutionize the car industry, as well as all electronic devices. They speak a little about how a vacuum could be a re-chargable device as opposed to a plug and use device.<br /><br />I would recommend this to any one that is interested in learning more about how the progress of the Electric Car battery is truly coming together, and how one day we will all have cars that travel over 100 mpg and we will no longer be reliant on gas stations, and oil.<br /><br /><a href="http://bariumtitanate.blogspot.com/2008/07/eestor-beyond-permittivity.html">Article #1 - Beyond Permittivity - 200+ comments</a><br /><a href="http://bariumtitanate.blogspot.com/2008/07/eestor-beyond-permittivity.html">Article #2 - EEstor Prototypes /permittivity</a><br /><br />Enjoy!<br /><script type="text/javascript"><br />aR_BgColor="";aR_FgColor="";aR_url=location.href;<br />aR_title=document.title;aR_StarType ='0';<br />document.write('<div id="aR_star_info" style="height:60px;"></div>');<br />document.write('<scr'+'ipt type="text/JavaScript" src="http://addratings.com/aR_BootStrap.js"></scr'+'ipt>');<br /></script>Kyle Korpihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02121729121128185139noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7413774751130821248.post-57905582429600153062008-11-27T08:58:00.000-08:002008-11-27T09:20:32.402-08:00Windows XP Service Pack 3 - Firewall UpdatesHey All,<br /><br />Just wanted to give a general Windows Security Update, as to my current preferences of Security, as well as what melo-drama I have been going through the past month with my internet connection, and lack there of it.<br /><br />Before installing Service Pack 3 I had <a href="http://www.zonealarm.com/">Zone Alarm Firewall</a> on my computer, and then decided to upgrade to a different firewall called <a href="http://www.download.com/Sygate-Personal-Firewall/3000-2092_4-10049526.html">Sygate Personal Firewall</a> recommended by a co-worker. I tried it out and was impressed, really gave a better set of controls for my personal firewall.<br /><br />Then I installed <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=68C48DAD-BC34-40BE-8D85-6BB4F56F5110&displaylang=en">Windows Service Pack 3</a> which as a slew of Security Updates, including update the Firewall, and overall making it more difficult for hackers to take over your computer, and have infectious viruses spreading across your home or work networks. Which is definitely a good thing, but some people are not all for it. <a href="http://www.pcworld.com/article/140649/windows_xp_service_pack_3_try_it_if_you_dare.html">Read this review - called Try It If You Dare</a><br /><br />Either way my internet almost stopped working when i had the Sygate Personal Firewall on and after downloading and installing Service Pack 3, so my logical thinking is that perhaps these two security programs are tripping each other up, and preventing me from enjoying my internet.<br /><br />So I decided to not have Sygate start-up automatically when my computer starts, and low and behold my internet is moving 3 times as fast as it was before! Thank God! Haha.<br /><br />Lesson learned, there is such a thing as too much security!<br /><br />So now I am currently running my machine using Windows Firewall, and AVG with weekly scans and updates on. That has been the optimal settings for me, what are your security settings?<br /><br />Best,<br />Tek-Min-Now Team<br /><br />PS - HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!<br /><br /><script type="text/javascript"><br />aR_BgColor="";aR_FgColor="";aR_url=location.href;<br />aR_title=document.title;aR_StarType ='0';<br />document.write('<div id="aR_star_info" style="height:60px;"></div>');<br />document.write('<scr'+'ipt type="text/JavaScript" src="http://addratings.com/aR_BootStrap.js"></scr'+'ipt>');<br /></script>Kyle Korpihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02121729121128185139noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7413774751130821248.post-80991731901505698632008-11-08T21:10:00.000-08:002008-11-08T21:12:34.123-08:00Photoshop Freebies - Site of the WeekHey All,<br /><br />I have decided to feature a new site I just found called Photoshop Freebies.

I read through the site, and followed the instructions to a tea, but it did not work on my first try. So I went back, what am I doing wrong? I tried to do it again, followed instructions word for word, but still no luck! The instructions leave 2 VERY important keys out of the instructions.<br /><br />I started to grow very frustrated and did not understand WHY THE HELL IS THIS NOT WORKING!!???!!?!?!?!<br /><br />But then I decided to really look into his example code and try and figure out exactly what I am missing. There are 5 key sections of the code that you NEED in order for it to work.<br /><br />You will need to <a href="http://stickmanlabs.com/accordion/accordion.zip">Download the Accordion 2.0 Setup File</a> before we get started.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">1. You need to have all 3 javascript calls to the correct files, and you NEED to have the files on your server to access them. Also you need those code that executes and makes available the code that is performing the Accordion animation.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">2. Next you will need the Accodion CSS that gives the look and feel to the Accordion tags. Look in the CSS section of <a href="www.stickmanlabs.com">www.stickmanlabs.com</a>.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">3. You will need the code that you will click on to start the effect, and the container for the content that is being shown or hidden with the Accordion feature. Read stickmanlabs.com tutorial, pretty simple.</span><br /><br />Can create as many content section as you would like, you can even make Horizontal ones, but I have not tried this as of yet...<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">4. You need the Accordion Section div id code that is all the way at the bottom of the page in the sample on StickMan's site. Place this code before the tag in the HTML of the body. - more code to add all the way at the bottom of the page.

Does not search text in text field boxes</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">- for blogger web editing search</span></div><div><br /></div><div>I was trying to find a segment of code on my blogger page and I was using the built in search functionality in Chrome, but apparently it DOES NOT search in the text field box where all of the code for the page is, so I had to copy and paste the code into Notebook and do my editing there...I(<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Firefox does search in the text field boxes</span>)</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">4. Bookmarks Tab? Could it be any uglier!</span></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Example:</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF2VddQ-SYVWn0_T9R1Vsgi4F7RTrjFpuJsPxrUwxCD_YfIB_wCU5UgJSUBn22ogsrLpVKL1y_mpzAmXEwNbyO1xjsrLHqO7nrfRJs2YQS_foXMtA_C0Nbc_5DtVV8QOctan7NpTOB_aA/s1600-h/bookmarks.bmp"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF2VddQ-SYVWn0_T9R1Vsgi4F7RTrjFpuJsPxrUwxCD_YfIB_wCU5UgJSUBn22ogsrLpVKL1y_mpzAmXEwNbyO1xjsrLHqO7nrfRJs2YQS_foXMtA_C0Nbc_5DtVV8QOctan7NpTOB_aA/s400/bookmarks.bmp" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242138950009697618" style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; float: left; cursor: pointer;" border="0" /></a></span></span>I really love the "Other bookmarks" section, NOT! All the way on the far right? Why would they put this on the right side and not the left side? (since they pop up to the left, and since everyone in America reads left to right, not right to left..) No customization of where these lay, I wish they would add a customization that would allow to have a Bookmarks button that would be next to the back and fowrad and reload buttons, so that it wouldn't make the navigation bar at the top bigger...<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">5. RSS Tab? Where are all my RSS blogs?</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div><div>I seem to have lost all of my RSS feeds that I was watching on Firefox. It did successfully import all of my bookmarks and saved passwords, but where are my RSS feeds?</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">6. Annoying Status Bar</span> </div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Example:</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); font-style: normal;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfgwFWbIGmnR8MKUt9gUvKmt00Bk1PUNSurgGYABYLrGqB5Bsa9ZHX35dg0ZzA33MEdRKsGFGkm0HE8Rl8mBhAvzQRStzzmjnUCeQVCcZmgy-KCV1t5CJ7oix38jEEcU0N2LxDufGpOas/s400/status-bar.bmp" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242139310245572594" style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; float: left; cursor: pointer;" border="0" /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><div>The status bar in Google Chrome pops-up in the lower left hand corner whenever something is loading is very annoying and can be distracting to the eye. I automatically look to see what is popping up on my screen and realize it is just telling me something is loading, I think they should make it a bar across like in Firefox...this seems odd to me to just display it...</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">7. Stole Firefox Position on my Windows Start Menu Applications</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div><div>I downloaded and installed Chrome, and loaded it up and started playing around with it. I realized alot of it seems to work the same as Firefox, if not a little bit worse. So I wanted to go back to Firefox, I goto my Windows Start Menu and it is GONE! Instead of Firefox the Google Chrome application is in it's place! I'm like whoah! This thing is trying to take over! So I added Firefox back in..(right click, pin to start menu)</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">8. The Web-Site Title is Cut Off</span></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Example:</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); font-style: normal;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQsy6O2MkrFsUxh4yZetaEOHpMh48mDlE-Htm5_GFPPjUE2SVo_rW9fBtH7uo0X1bScp7Nm297JYtA2ntfJRhA8DYWhKtA6RPG2YzcBxvzSwdLsGq08ZqnwqAmVt4wFPyjntbAuR6aE9Y/s400/google-chrome-title-bar.bmp" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242139759512087810" style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; float: left; cursor: pointer;" border="0" /> </span></span></div><div>As you can see the Title is cut off because the browser window tabs are at the top of the page, where the Title of the page is displayed. So the only way to see the full title is to hover the mouse over the tab and the entire title will display as you can see in the image above.</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">9. No Customization of Navigation Bar Icons</span></div><div><br /></div><div>One of my favorite parts of Firefox is you can drag and drop all of there icons on the start menu, with Google's Chrome, they do not offer this functionality. The only option the user has is to display the Homepage Icon or not to display the Homepage icon...annoying.</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">10. Does not Prevent Cross Site Scripting</span></div><div><br /></div><div>Google claims this browser will prevent against Cross Site Scripting, which allows hackers to gain access to your account through opening hidden windows on a users computer, and editing the users profile on there computer, in the background with out the user's knowledge.

This is how you would use Flash Tools to automate animation of an image. I am going to demonstrate how I was able to create a Flash Transition for my portal page, to my other sites. The final result is at <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.kylekorpi.com">www.kylekorpi.com</a>.<br /><br />There are a few ways to achieve this Flash Animation effect. I my self did a few rounds of attempts to get this working exactly the way I wanted it to work.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">My first attempt</span> I did some custom animation by creating <a href="http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_keyframe_in_flash">10 keyframes</a> in succession of each other, and in each <a href="http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_keyframe_in_flash">keyframe</a> the image moved a little bit.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrUmpo30-ANyfj_AWRTWseCCSgxOnles0S8m1DkIm2gkCGdHqwGyHwt17Ma3PMKxe9RSvir-EV9MQXzI8uKRKnfgzLa4BmmHC9f8P6BLA0-SfgKVa1a8draFEAxF-8OKRXGzCQREtsNY0/s1600-h/first-attempt.bmp"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrUmpo30-ANyfj_AWRTWseCCSgxOnles0S8m1DkIm2gkCGdHqwGyHwt17Ma3PMKxe9RSvir-EV9MQXzI8uKRKnfgzLa4BmmHC9f8P6BLA0-SfgKVa1a8draFEAxF-8OKRXGzCQREtsNY0/s400/first-attempt.bmp" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239910661192735986" border="0" /></a><br />This worked, but it was not as smooth as I would have liked it to be, and I knew that there was a simpler way to create a simple flash animation like this. <a href="http://www.kylekorpi.com/Flash/first-attempt.swf">VIEW THE FIRST ATTEMPT HERE</a>.<br /><br />This looks sloppy and keeps repeating, but not bad for a first attempt.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">My second attempt</span> I was able to create a <a href="http://www.entheosweb.com/Flash/motion_tween.asp">Flash Motion Tween</a> that created a really simple nice animation effect, that worked beautifully. All I had to do was create the first position and the last position that I wanted to image to look like, and then create the Motion Tween that creates all of the other frame movements.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6bCEoeQAuayBYrX1AAfpGk0BWIOc07frh5WM-z97z8c7LcpmKZo7yCUdQ954GoLICR8UZe0CuiCo7oxUDf6gQB09DsNZmTK_w4ks3AzD9Fr7G4_jJ8zHOc-7M8gtSyDS-UKicZ__ILcw/s1600-h/second-attempt.bmp"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6bCEoeQAuayBYrX1AAfpGk0BWIOc07frh5WM-z97z8c7LcpmKZo7yCUdQ954GoLICR8UZe0CuiCo7oxUDf6gQB09DsNZmTK_w4ks3AzD9Fr7G4_jJ8zHOc-7M8gtSyDS-UKicZ__ILcw/s400/second-attempt.bmp" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239910279455350882" border="0" /></a><br />This created a much smoother transition than the previous attempt, <a href="http://www.kylekorpi.com/Flash/second-attempt.swf">VIEW SECOND ATTEMPT HERE</a>.<br /><br />For my third attempt I lengthened the flash transition effect so that it gives a longer view of the animation. I felt that this would give the user a stronger feel that they are actually entering the page, and actually entering the building. <a href="http://www.kylekorpi.com/Flash/third-attempt.swf">VIEW THIRD ATTEMPT HERE</a>.<br /><br />This one is not only slower but also links to <a href="http://theteenzone.googlepages.com/">The Teen Zone</a>. Which is the page that it should automatically go to after it displays the flash transition.<br /><br />Then the final result can be viewed here for any of the buildings with a preview, <a href="http://www.kylekorpi.com/">www.kylekorpi.com</a>.<br /><br />I used these resources to learn how to do this in flash:<br /><a href="http://www.smartwebby.com/Flash/flash_animations.asp"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Basics of Flash Animation</span></a><br /><br />If you have any questions feel free to ask!<br /><br />~ Tek-Min-Now<br /><script type="text/javascript"><br />aR_BgColor="";aR_FgColor="";aR_url=location.href;<br />aR_title=document.title;aR_StarType ='0';<br />document.write('<div id="aR_star_info" style="height:60px;"></div>');<br />document.write('<scr'+'ipt type="text/JavaScript" src="http://addratings.com/aR_BootStrap.js"></scr'+'ipt>');<br /></script>Kyle Korpihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02121729121128185139noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7413774751130821248.post-63592803650737791052008-08-17T11:50:00.000-07:002008-08-17T13:00:47.442-07:00How to Fix 800 Width Browsing Issue on the EEE PC 700I was stumbling upon sites, and I came across this great blog called <a href="http://www.tweak3d.net/">Tweak3d</a> I started reading through some of there articles, and then I came across this EEE PC article. I own and use a EEE PC so I was naturally curious as to what they had to say about my little laptop. (I have the 700, lowest version)<br /><br />The article read - <a href="http://www.tweak3d.net/forums/articles/how-efficiently-use-800x480-eeepc-low-resolution-ultra-portable-screen-36785">How to Efficiently use an 800x480 eee pc</a>, like the one I own. They recommend using Opera for web-browsing since Opera has a Fit to Screen option, that will allow web-sites bigger than 800 pixels to fit to the screen, eliminating the need to scroll left and right!<br /><br />I was astounded by this so first I am like ok I have the linux eee pc, how do I install Opera on it?<br /><br /><a href="http://wiki.eeeuser.com/opera?s=install%20opera">Install Directions Here</a><br /><br />I am working on getting it to work now...I will tell you all what happens..<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">UPDATE:</span><br />I got it to work!! It is awesome because you can not only fit to screen, you can also set it so that it is viewing the page at 90% or 80% of the total screen, so it will actually shrink to fit, and you won't have those scroll bars any more!!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">This is how I installed Opera on my </span><span style="font-weight: bold;">Linux </span><span style="font-weight: bold;">EEE PC 700:</span><br /><br />1. Download from Opera.com - <a href="http://www.opera.com/download/index.dml?platform=linux">Download Here</a> - Select the "<span style="font-weight: bold;">Debian</span>" then "<span style="font-weight: bold;">Debian 4.0 (Etch)</span>" and download this one to your EEE PC<br /><br />2. Figure out where it is saved on your system, probably in <strong>cd /home/user/My Documents </strong><br /><br />3. Open a command prompt (<span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">press CTRL + ALT + T</span>) and navigate to the folder with the file<br /><br />Here are some simple command line commands:<br /><ul><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">dir</span> - list all files in the folder I am currently looking in</li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">cd</span> - change what folder I am currently in</li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">cd home</span> - go to the home folder</li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">cd home/user/My Documents</span> - go to the home/user/My Documents folder</li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">sudo</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">dpkg -i [filename]</span> - installs the file on your system</li></ul>4. Once you are in the folder with the Opera file in it, by typing dir and you see the file in the folder. Type in "sudo dpkg -i opera_your_version" which is probably going to be this:<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">"sudo dpkg -i opera_9.51.2061.gcc4.qt3_i386.deb"</span><br /><br />5. Once it installs type in "Opera" in a command line, you will get a disclaimer pop-up, press Enter to accept it, and Opera will launch!<br /><br />Any questions?<br /><br />~ Tek-Min-Now TeamKyle Korpihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02121729121128185139noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7413774751130821248.post-38274260358984038912008-08-16T09:51:00.000-07:002008-08-16T09:54:12.118-07:00iPhone Dropping Calls on 3G NetworkAs many of you know the iPhone recently released a new phone on the faster 3G Network, while this is great, for downloads, web-browsing, email, and other web features, this seems to have had a negative effect on the most important part of having a cell phone, actually making phone calls!<br /><br /><a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/usatoday/droppedcallsplagueiphone3gandnotjustinus;_ylt=Aht4sYx84TnlSewvUivyhswjtBAF">Read the story</a><br /><br />What do you guys think? iPhone sucks right?Kyle Korpihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02121729121128185139noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7413774751130821248.post-65184392009240745672008-08-15T21:03:00.000-07:002008-08-16T09:50:19.850-07:00Hackers Steal 40 Million Credit CardsA network of hackers have been able to successfully deploy a number of keyboard catching sniffers that automatically tell them what credit card numbers are being scanned into the computers. These hackers have stolen credit cards from many of the largest public retail stores in the United States!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Including:</span><br />TJX Companies of;<br /><ul><li>Marshall's</li><li>T. J. Maxx</li><li>BJ's Wholesale Club</li><li>OfficeMax</li><li>Barnes and Noble</li><li>Sports Authority</li><li>and others!</li></ul><span style="font-weight: bold;">From the CNN Article:</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">"Under the indictments, three Miami, Florida, men -- Albert "Segvec" Gonzalez, Christopher Scott and Damon Patrick Toey -- are accused of hacking into the wireless computer networks of retailers including TJX Companies, whose stores include Marshall's and T.J. Maxx, BJ's Wholesale Club, OfficeMax, Barnes and Noble and Sports Authority, among others. </span><p style="font-style: italic;"> The three men installed "sniffer" programs designed to capture credit card numbers, passwords and account information as they moved through the retailers' card processing networks, said Michael Sullivan, the U.S. attorney in Boston."</p><p><a href="http://www.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/08/05/card.fraud.charges/index.html">Hackers Steal 40 Million Credit Cards</a></p><p>This is why all routers NEED to have a SECURE network! Especially if you are a retail store, these guys drive around and find open un-secure networks, that can almost automatically be connected to from nearly any laptop, or cell phone, then the software can easily be installed on the router once they are in. It is very easy for ANY store or ANY router to get hacked, make sure to turn on a WEP Password on your router to ensure it is not being hacked.</p><p>Tek-Min-Now Team<br /></p><p><br /></p>Kyle Korpihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02121729121128185139noreply@blogger.com0
