So you have a MacBook (or any PC or notebook really) that’s a year or two old and things seems to be slowing down a little. You basically have two choice. Suck it up and just live with it. Or buy a new notebook. And burn some cash in the process of course. Sure, you’d get new spanking CPU and perhaps even a faster GPU to boot. But hey, unless you are dying to run the latest games in all 2000 FPS glory, 90% of the time, you don’t r More >

November 19, 2011

by Ken Ng

It looks like scammers are just getting smarter by the day. And this time, I had the ‘opportunity’ to be targeted by one that seems to be scamming wordpress-based blogs.

Here was how it all got started.

It seems that some guy posted a comment on my blog asking me if I was interested to have a banner ad placed on my blog for a fee. Hmmm. To be honest, I was initially skeptical but curious. So I decided to write an email across and see what it’s More >

So here I am trying to install Oracle Application Server 10g release 2 (10.1.2.0.2) on my Solaris x86 64-bit VM to test out some stuff. Then, I get this error.

Fixing the iOS 5 battery drain problem

October 20, 2011

by Ken Ng

I’m sure you are already upgraded to iOS 5 by now if your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch supports it. Well, even if you aren’t yet, it’s probably just because you didn’t have the time yet.

It’s only been a week since I’ve updated my iPhone 3Gs and I’ve to say that it’s the best OS that’s landed on the iPhone 3Gs. The performance is great and it also feels much faster than iOS 4.x. Overall, I’m a happy camper that my 3Gs has received a new lease of More >

If you ever need a stylus for the iPad, this XStylus Touch should be it.

by Ken Ng

Here’s something I don’t usually do. Fund a project that is.

But having recently used a stylus on the iPad to write notes and doodle diagrams, I now know what I’ve been missing thus far. And now that I’ve found what seems like the perfect stylus for the iPad, I knew I had to get it. Or in this case, did my bit to make sure it gets produced.

Some has called it the fountain pen of styluses. And from what I’ve seen in their videos, it sure does More >

In RestoreMeNot’s own words, “RestoreMeNot comes in and provides a simple preference pane for disabling window restoration for individual applications.” Jump over to www.restoremenot.info to download More >

Both has its own merits and depending on your expectations and needs from the virtualization solution, both choices will deliver what it promises to you.
