With such low defect rates it amazes me how warranty replacements are refurbished/previously broken. I usually order 10 at a time and on occasion have seen batches with 60% failure rate within warranty period. Other times 1-2%. Certain models have poor reliability within a manufactures sku.

Definitely no need to upgrade from 7. Attrition will get enough people into Windows 8. Cheers!

An affordable Android based tablet. If it can be rooted like the droid phones and custom firmware installed, removing any Amazon bloatware we could have something that serves most peoples computing needs. Cheers!

These are supposed to work well. Got 3 on order to try out. http://www.open-mesh.com/ Cheers!

These are Ubiquity devices with a slick web based setup system. http://www.ayrstone.com/products.html Typically give a 500foot broadcast, or use 2 and make a secure 1km network. Extremely easy to setup and configure. Cheers!

Does one really need a server for a 5 user accounting office, that wishes to share 100+ Simply files? 10+ users or potential to grow into would be a definite yes. Seriously look at what a plain Win7 Pro/CoreI3/RAID1/USB external HD Backup tower would cost. With AV of choice(server AV can be...

I have set up a few clients with these. http://www.qnap.com/USEng/pro_detail_feature.asp?p_id=182 They take up no space, run cool and quiet, RAID1, USB hardrive backup, gigalan, remote, folder permissions via user/pass-so any OS will work (*note: Server 2008 requires logon from XP Pro, Vista...

Played through twice, once as badass kill it and ask question later, then as a "ghost". ZERO crashes. Cheers!

Not entirely that simple. Google is your friend here. Basically if you use a second 655 it will have the same ip addy as the first so you need to disable dhcp and set it to a static ip out of the range of the first 655. Lots of articles on the dlink forum. I use ASUS 520GU, flashed with...

Upgrade to Office 2010? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/832925/ PST max increased to 50gb. Cheers!

Norton Ghost or Acronis True Image. Directions come with the software. Setup one system, then make an image onto USB HD or DVD and then write image to other 4 units. Licensing will be whack for office and XP, but it works like a charm if no MS audit. Cheers!

Is pure genius from Intel if you can get the public to swallow it. We are talking about the sub 400.00 sector here. Get your laptop for 369.00 and upgrade to 10% faster down the road(bigger difference than ram upgrade). Or pay 419.00 now. This is a world of difference to the people these...

Conform or be cast out. Cheers!

We had to deploy 20 workstations in an accounting firm. Setup one unit to perfection and used Norton Ghost to image it. Deployed image to other 19 units. Had to then boot up offline and change computer name then join to network. Microsoft did do an audit down the road, but we had all 20 Office...

The simple truth us your organization is outgrowing peer to peer sharing and needs to look at a dedicated server as an option. Centralized backup, folder permissions, and RAID for redundancy. Everyone starts out with simple file sharing, and the cost to go to what you need needs to be looked...

MAC filtering is an extra layer that I think is really not needed in a home environment. When friends visit and bring there kids, it seems everyone has a wireless device. I simply give them my password and everyone's happy. I do change the pass 3 or 4 times a year. Cheers!

+1 Avast Cheers!

He/She is TERRIBBLE. That level is one shot easy... Cheers!

Go go iPad dual screen? Cheers!

If she kept his cheezie bowl full, and kept the beer/cola/energy drinks flowing during epic sessions, then she should get half. Cheers!

Can always search to make sure *.jpg Cheers!

Yes 3D is the savior of MPAA.....AGAIN.....ANd again........and again........ Cheers!

If the lemonade stand files for tax then yes. Girl Scouts organization would already have a license. They are always in full compliance with tax law. Homeless beggars are "off the grid" and probably do not file tax returns. It is not fair to those business that play by all the rules and get...

I don't get it. XP, Visat32/64 and Win732/64 are full of holes that get exploited. They all contain code that can be manipulated/exploited. Anybody can go to the wrong sites and click on everything they see and get infected with nasties that sail on by the AV of choice. To bad Combofix...

Antique US copyright laws that have been outpaced by modern technology. The theater worker was only doing a job as instructed. He/she really isn't the problem. Perhaps the child's parents could have taught her what is appropriate to record. Piracy has become very commonplace. Many parents...

Combofix is everyone's friend to remove these pests. Unfortunately it works on 32bit only. 64bit can be tricky. Now why does every antivirus software known to man let these things through without so much as a warning? Cheers!

And the number one reason these malware infections are so deadly. They get right on past NOD32, MSE, Avira, Norton, Kaspersky, Panda, Bitdefender. Cleverly engineered to not raise the AV flag. Cheers!

Technology outpacing antique digital copyright laws. Cheers!

The WD Green HD's are purpose built. The one model is 5400RPM and the other is variable 5400-7200RPM. They are quite, generate very little heat, and use less power than the Blue and Black series. The also park the read/write head when not in use to extend life. For use as a USB storage device...

The Win7 64bit installer for Itunes is flawed. When it asks for source directory it defaults to program files(x86). Manually change that to program files and it should work fine. Cheers!

Sad but true. Cheers!

When I do an "optimization", it usually consists of Firefox, cccp codec, adobe flash/reader, imgburn, Security Essentials, Java, Malwarebytes, CCleaner, powerpoint viewer, AND the removal of all demo software from manufacture. Choice of UAC on or off. It can make a first time users experience...

Combofix has been my go to tool when Malwarebytes cannot remove all the nasties. http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix/how-to-use-combofix Also Superantispyware picks up things missed by Malwarebytes and I find it more effective than Spybot. Cheers!

Try and install ITunes64 for Win7. Craps out. Turns out you need to remove the default install folder program files(x86) to just program files and it works perfectly. They crap on there biggest supporter. Cheers!

I have seen this multiple times. It is caused by a Malware infection. There are several "fixes" on the net but none worked for me. Even a repair on xp yielded the same results. Backup, format, and reinstall was the final resolve. Cheers!

They also got a 64bit version now. Cheers!

Newegg Canada does not sell NOD32. My reseller told me they are no longer allowed to resell NOD32 after distributing thousands of copies within Central Interior British Columbia, Canada. Cheers! Cheers!

Not entirely true. # INSTALLATION AND USE RIGHTS. * Use. You may install and use any number of copies of the software on your devices in your household for use by people who reside there or for use in your home-based small business. Cheers!

Win7 Ultimate will only directly upgrade from Vista Ultimate. Win7 Pro will require a clean install as it will only upgrade from Vista Pro. Cheers!

NOD32 as good as it is has f+++ed themselves. They jacked the price up to 60.00 Canadian for 1 year, and they have stopped selling to independent retailers. I used to be able to buy 10 or 20 lots of license to resell but no more. Online or Staples type outlets only now. MSSE as an antivirus...
