I have an ASUS HD5770 graphics card installed on my desktop PC which covers all my needs. I was very happy with it until today when I saw a warning message on a system diagnostics utility (AIDA64) that the GPU temperature exceeded 65 degrees Celsius. Checking the card I found that the fan was stopped.

This one of my best support experiences (although is regarding a faulty product).

OCZ seems to really care about its reputation and for its customers.  And I have to admit that my recent experience with the RMA and support department was the best I ever had!

Android SMS issues. What a letdown!

I just noticed that my mobile phone was not receiving SMS messages.

Usually I’m receiving bank notifications on my mobile phone, this way I’m informed in real time for transactions on my bank account. These notifications stopped appearing on my phone two weeks ago…but i didn’t noticed. Yesterday my wife texted me a couple of “remember-the-milk” messages. I received nothing!

So I started to wondering what is going on with my cell phone… I was suspicious with some apps installed on my phone so had to try my SIM card to my old Sony Ericsson device, and guess what? I bunch of SMS messages was received!

Just found something that must not be existed! A bug under readyboost function on Winodws 7.

OK its a bit deep and it seems not to affect the computer function but if you like to see it for yourself where it lays keep reading.

My previous post ”Web Music Selection (Vol 2) – DJ’s creating buzz” was a direction to a great site found on the web with mixed music offered for free by professional DJs
However there is a sad update on this. According to this forum thread ”due to legal and financial reasons, www.beezo.net can no longer host dj mixes.“ that was posted on twitter by Enrie and after that the site is not accessible anymore. In addition the twitter account for beezo.net news (https://twitter.com/#!/beezo411)  has no new tweets since Jun 25 2011.

I think that’s a pity! Beezo.net was a great site to listen good mixed music for free and from DJ’s side was a very good way to promote their work.

My desktop computer is usualy loaded with programs or other custom made utilities which are running silently in system tray or sometimes I ’m running lot of programs just minimized to windows taskbar. Usually when I’m coming to shut down the PC, most of the times late at night before I go for sleep, I need to kill all open applications before I hit the shut down command otherwise the system will start prompting me for programs may still working and for some reason the operating system is quite “polite” with them. Windows 7 are waiting for the program to accept its termination signal in order to proceed with the system shutdown. Meanwhile it prompts user a selection screen to wait or force shut down of each program. OK that’s a pain. The whole proccedure can take about half a minute or even more for me to wait for each screen and answer to each window and force close every program. When I say shut down I mean shut down! So I found a solution which is quite easy.

If you own an Android based phone you may need to remove some of the factory applications and replace them with better ones. For instance if you don’t intent to use the pre-loaded games (especially if the phone came with demo version of them) you may like to remove them completely. My android phone, an Sony Ericsson X10, was shipped with a game teaser called Peggle but I was not like it at all. Trying to use application manager under device setting I was not able to uninstall it.

I’m a happy owner of an Xtreamer device.

This simple and economic home media has everything a user can ask (for its price of 100 €). Its steady, supports multiple formats, its tiny and the firmware is frequently updated adding lot of new features and improvements. The device also supports remote control and management though its simple and well organized web interface. This web interface comes with two different remote controls to send command from a computer or a smartphone. (more…)
