Windows 7 beta

Leave a reply

Today I am trying out the windows 7 beta on a few of differnt laptops. I will post more about the actual OS later.

Laptop #1 Dell Precision M65
Intel T2400 1.83GHz, 2GB ram, 80GB HD, 512MB Nvidia Quadro FX 350M
Installation was very fast, but did not find correct graphics card driver. Even after installing correct ones, I still could not get the correct resolution.

Laptop #2 Dell Inspiron Mini 9
Intel Atom 1.6GHz, 1GB ram, 16GB SSD, Intel GM950
Installation was extremely slow, probably because of the solid state drive.

Laptop #3 Asus EEEpc 1000HA
Intel Atom 1.6GHz, 1GB Ram, 160GB HD, Intel GM950
Installed almost as fast as the Dell workstation laptop.

My Favorite Twitter tools

Leave a reply

Here are a few of the twitter tools I use the most.

For the Blackberry I have been using Twitterberry. The current version is .08. I just upgraded to it from version .06. Using the blackberry browser to twitter is slow. This app gives you a direct connection for updates.

For the Desktop, I use TweetDeck. It is an Adobe Air application and still in a really early beta. I really like how you can customize it to show all of your twitter groups.

For finding who to follow, I use Mrtweet. They show you why you should be following people following you, and who the people you follow are following. Is everybody following that?
