    » Official Windows 10 will be available on July 29, this year. By the time you read this, legal software owners should have received their notification from Microsoft to register for the free upgrade. Yes, there are indeed some nice new features that may or nor be available to you at release but there are what some will consider negatives to the product as well.

    Samsung again pushing foldables

    Life, James Hein, Published on 18/08/2021

    » Samsung is betting on foldables. The new Galaxy Z Fold 3 will come with IPX8 water resistance, support for the S-pen and an under-display selfie camera. It will be interesting to see how they solved the clarity issue Apple faced with that last one. The front screen will be an adaptive 7.6-inch 120Hz.

    The three version rule for Windows

    Life, James Hein, Published on 18/11/2015

    » I was helping someone out with their scanner driver for Windows 10, easy enough, but when it was installed the default program worked fine and the graphics program they were using worked great in preview but then did not work at all for the actual scan. The problem appeared to be the age of the application. Many computer users get very used to a particular version of a particular application. It could be an old version of Word, or in this case, Picture Publisher.

    Malware doesn't exist, says Google

    Life, James Hein, Published on 29/04/2015

    » In the world of political correctness, IT people are normally immune, but not always. According to the Android security division of Google, malware does not exist on Android, but Potentially Harmful Applications do. Apparently they have also tried to drop a number of other typical terms like Spyware. Instead, malware sub-terms are used by Google engineers to reduce confusion. Since Spyware implies, according to them, the taking of lots of information and sending it off, in their mind then, if information relating to your exercise regime was grabbed and circulated then this might perhaps be called exerciseware.

    Life, James Hein, Published on 23/07/2014

    » I want to start out this week by offering Microsoft server administrators by heartfelt condolences for their future. I recently remote-logged onto Windows Server 2012 and immediately thought I’d made a mistake when I was presented with a Windows 8-like screen.

    Already looking to the next Apple news

    Database, James Hein, Published on 17/02/2010

    » Seems the feedback for the iPad has been a bit lukewarm. Some have described it as ''an iPhone having a mid-life crisis''. It is like the iPhone but without multitasking, no Flash and no wide screen video playback capability. The iPhone itself is still dong well but the new unit didn't live up to expectations. Some of the problem is the responsibilities Apple has. They need to keep their developers happy to minimise app rewriting. Then there are the shareholders who expect customers to be locked into the iTunes store for everything, hence there is no Flash and you will not be able to play Evony or Farmville on your iPad.

    The extermination of all things impure from Apple

    Database, James Hein, Published on 24/02/2010

    » Is Oracle a trusted form of Open source software? With the recent resignation of Ken Jacobs, the man tipped to look after MySQL, people are starting to wonder. Jacobs was known as the friendly face of Open source in Oracle. When Oracle did not assign MySQL to Jacobs, he quit. Jacobs did say that he believed Oracle would look after MySQL and "make it better".
