  1. Comment - After the Psystar verdict: Send in the clones

    (Nov 19, 2009 - 8:37 AM)

    In the Eighties, even the Compaq was called a clone! There were the IBM PC and XT and there were clones. Nothing in between.

  2. Comment - Google Chrome 4: Yes, it's fast, but is it usable?

    (Nov 7, 2009 - 3:59 PM)

    I heard so many good things about Chrome that I downloaded it to try it. When I opened the bookmarks, I was very frustrated by the lack of a scrollbar. I have over four hundred favorites and having to wait to scroll through them to get to the one I want with no thumb to speed it up is torture. That's the one deficiency that made me go back to IE.

    Click the start button. Type CMD but don't press Enter. cmd.exe will be at the top of the list of matching programs. Right-click on it and then left-click Run as administrator. Answer Yes to the security prompt. When the cmd window opens, type
    cd c:\windows\ehome
    and press Enter.
    Type
    mcupdate -MediaCenterRecoveryTask
    and press Enter.

    Two nitpicks:

    1. Hauppauge is the correct spelling. Not Hauppage
    2. Hauppauge is based in Hauppauge, NY USA (on Long Island). It has a UK subsidiary but the main company is American.
