Many people asking on how to delete more than one photo at once. Here is the simple way to do it. (more…)
It is common for one to own multiple email accounts for different purposes. I myself own 4 email accounts: for work, communicate with friends, receive forward mails and backup account.
Quite tedious to access multiple websites for email. Gmail now provide “Mail Fetcher” to retrieve multiple pop email accounts to centralize all your email in one place.
Many advantages you could get from this new feature. To name a few: Single login for multiple email accounts, powerful Gmail interface, fast email and all benefits you can get from Gmail. (more…)
I have using Dropbox for quite some time already. It synchronize share files among multiple computers, eg: Office, Home, Laptop computers. Could use for online backup too. The free account provide 2GB space which is enough for me.
Too bad I have choose to delete the files in Dropbox when I remove Dropbox folder from old office PC. All my excel, word files are gone! I panic almost fainted. 
Fortunately Dropbox didn’t remove the files permanently. Right-click on Dropbox folder select “Show Deleted Files”. All deleted files will be shown in your web browser.
I have been started to use Windows 7 a month ago. It is definitely a better OS compare to Windows XP. In term of graphics, easy of use and features are well designed.
Anyhow, still need time to familiar with it. The setting, the location of program settings are little bit different from XP too.
Host file is a setting file where we can manually input hostname and IP address of computer which don’t serve by DNS server. It is located at C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\ as usual. I edit it but unable to save. Do I have administrator right? Yes, I’m. But still CAN’T save it!
After check, administrator right in Windows 7 doesn’t mean you can do EVERYTHING. You still need to run as administrator to edit such sensitive %systemroot% location.
What I did is simple. Search for notepad, right-click run as Administrator. Browse to the Host file and edit. That’s it.
I have decided to give up VirtualBox to run Windows 7. It is too slow for my Ms Access application and other third party software.
The best way to resolve the slow performance is install Windows 7 on its native Windows environment by using Boot Camp for Mac OS. Boot Camp is a build in utility in Mac, for Windows user.
Boot Camp helps to create Windows partition easily. Go to Applications > Utilities > Boot Camp Assistant, create the Windows partition size you want. 15GB is enough for my 3rd party software + Windows 7.
Once created the partition, restart your Mac and insert Windows installation DVD. Follow on screen instruction to format the newly created Windows partition. You have to be extra careful when format partition. ONLY format the ‘Bootcamp’ partition that you have created. By deleting wrong partition could cause your Mac OS and data gone!
The Windows 7 took sometime to install. Go for a break while waiting. Once completed, restart your Macbook (iMac, MacBook Pro, whatever) while holding ‘Option‘ key when machine starting up. It should prompt 2 choice: Mac OS or Windows. Select Windows to boot up.
Opps..no drivers? Insert Install Mac OS DVD and setup all drivers. Cool! Now Windows 7 run on my awesome Macbook. (more…)
