macbook air, asus eee, SSD

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

there’s a chance i’d be able to see macbook air, face to face by monday during BPO’s book launching care of our company’s supplier.

and speaking of macbook air that is not yet available in local market, it’s not something to look forward to. having a notebook with too many peripherals to bring along is not fun. same for asus eee pc. though
considering just the notebooks, they come handy.

they also have things in common aside from being lightweight. they are using SSDs.

what is SSD?

i was right bout limited write/erase cycles. but searching more about it, it’ll take me years to wear out an SSD. hehe. click HERE to see figures.

so now, what i don’t like about those is cost, which is way more expensive than mechanical drives.

yeah i know, it’s annoying. so here’s the easiest way for everyone:

1. control panel
2. user accounts
3. click Turn User Account Control on or off

easy cheesy!

btw, it can also be manipulated through regedit, gpo and msconfig.

i ate sophos for afternoon snack

Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

uhm… who said i have to use 4 hours of my time just for an antivirus demo?

administered sophos poc this afternoon at 2. it ended at 6pm. i was starving. i was tired. i liked it. i didn’t like it at some point.

i’ll be waiting for the 2nd part within the week (hell yeah, 2nd part) for mac osx and linux demo before i get going to writing an evaluation paper that will have my verdict: recommended or not. we’ll see.

i will share my views on my next post regarding sophos so no worries my dear readers (as if i have).
