DEXGUiDE | From Netbook to a Feature-Rich E-Book Reader
E-book readers are popular for reading digital books, but they've got their limitations. If you have a netbook, you already have a powerful and virtually unrestricted portable e-book reader on your hands. You just need to know how to set it up.
Dedicated e-book readers do have certain things going for them; they're very light weight, have long-lasting batteries, and their digital, e-ink screens are easy-on-the-eyes. A big negative mark against them—in the minds of most geeks at least—is how dreadfully locked down they are. You can't tweak them, modify them, or use them as you see fit. Netbooks, by default of being an unrestricted personal computer capable of running any applications or reading any formats you care to throw at them, suffer from no such shortcoming. The following guide will help you turn your netbook into a comfortable e-book reader that—while it may not be as ultra lightweight and battery-friendly as a Kindle—will be infinitely more flexible.
Rotate The Screen: The tiny widescreen format of the netbook is, in the traditional orientation, terrible for reading e-books. It's squatty and doesn't do a very good job displaying large amounts of text at one time. Holding the netbook sideways in your hands like a book is the ideal way to maximize the screen real estate and read it comfortably.
Depending on your graphics chip and drivers, you may be able to rotate the screen orientation without any additional software by simply pressing CTRL+ALT+Left Arrow or CTRL+ALT+Right Arrow. While it's great to have a built-in solution without installing any additional software, it's a less than ideal solution. The built-in screen-rotation trick works great for desktop computers where you might be rotating a widescreen monitor into a portrait position, but it's not so handy on a netbook or laptop where the orientation of the keyboard and trackpad changes with the orientation of the physical screen.
Fortunately a lightweight solution exists. EeeRotate is a tiny application that combines the rotation of your screen and the rotation of the touchpad at the same time using a single shortcut. Once EeeRotate is installed pressing CTRL+ALT+Right Arrow rotates the screen and touchpad 270 degrees and CTRL+ALT+Up Arrow returns it to normal.
EeeRotate is a must have application for setting up your netbook as an e-book reader and we'd advise downloading it before proceeding.

Adjust The Screen Brightness: You should decrease the screen brightness to the lowest setting you can comfortably read it at. Not only will you extend your battery life but you'll decrease the strain on your eyes. One of the strong selling points of stand-alone e-book readers is that their digital ink screens aren't back lit and can be read under the same conditions that you would read a regular book.
If your netbook has the ability to turn off the back light altogether you can try it out. Your experience with no back light can vary wildly though. With my Asus netbook I can read it comfortably in direct sunlight just like I would read a Kindle but anything less than full and direct sunshine makes the back-light-off setting completely useless.

Use a Special Power Saving Mode: Reading a document for an extended period of time on your netbook requires little to not effort on behalf of the computer. You can maximize your netbook's battery life as an e-book reader by setting up a special power saving mode just for the times you're using it as an e-book reader. Just switching it to the maximum power-saving mode won't cut it, putting your netbook in maximum power save usually has featured not conducive to reading like shutting the screen off after short periods of inactivity.
Your netbook may have an advanced power manager installed, but to quickly tweak the power settings in Windows you'll want to open up the Power Options menu. Right click on the battery icon in your system tray or look under Settings -> Power Management. You'll want to tweak your power settings so that the monitor never turns off, the hard disks spin down after 5 minutes—once you load an e-book to read it's in the memory of the computer and you won't likely need to do any heavy hard disk accessing—and set the system to never go into standby mode. With the brightness turned down and the hard disk kept quiet, you should be able to squeeze out quite a bit of reading time.

Setting Up E-Book Software
What e-book software you end up using is entirely a matter of personal preference, and the dealbreaker might be as tiny as what key is closest to your thumb when holding the netbook in a comfortable position and what that key does—turns the page, pages down, etc—in a particular e-book application. With that in mind, we'd urge you give each of the following free applications a test drive to see which one is the most comfortable option for your netbook, how you hold it, and your reading style.
 |
| Kindle |
I'm highlighting the Kindle for PC software first for only one reason. If you want to semi-recreate the experience of having a Kindle without actually buying a dedicated Kindle, you can install Kindle for PC on your netbook. Unless you absolutely want that experience we can see no reason at all to install Kindle for PC. You cannot manage your personal library of e-books and documents with Kindle for PC, so you're essentially importing the experience of having a DRM-locked down Kindle onto your netbook. If you have a lot of e-books already and don't have a relationship with Amazon as your e-book provider, Kindle for PC was a no-go right out of the gate for me.

| Calibre |
Calibre is an open-source solution for not just reading e-books and other portable document formats but also organizing them in a meticulous fashion. Calibre isn't just a great option for viewing e-books in a vertical orientation on your netbook; it's a great option for organizing your collection, downloading news to read on your netbook-turned-e-book reader, and even syncing your collection to actual e-book readers if you decide to invest in one later on. Calibre supports nearly every portable document format out there, although less common formats like the CBR comic book container format require conversion—Calibre handles all the conversion in-program.
Mobipocket Reader has a similar layout to iTunes and gives you a more Kindle-like experience on the Netbook than the actual Kindle for PC software can provide. Where the Kindle for PC software falls flat and Calibre shines with organization, Mobipocket Reader stands out for having all the neat annotation, bookmarking, and interface tweaking aspects you find in the Kindle Reader but brought to Windows without all the DRM-hassle. If you've been pining for a Kindle but find the Kindle for PC experience to be lacking, it's worth checking out Mobipocket Reader for a bells-and-whistles portable reader. If you fall in love with Mobipocket Reader Desktop on your netbook you'll be pleased to know you can get versions for your Blackberry, Windows Mobile phone, Symbian phones, Palm, and several dedicated e-book devices. You can, of course, use just about any software you want as long as it can run on your OS and works when the orientation of the screen is rotated—good luck with Adobe Reader! We couldn't get most e-books to display correctly once rotated—which is the beauty of using a netbook over a hardware and firmware-locked dedicated e-book reader.
To DELL Mini 10 user,
if you buy an external dvd drive and it has nero,
*DO NOT INSTALL IT YOU WILL HAVE THE BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH*
*DO NOT INSTALL IT YOU WILL HAVE THE BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH*
took me ages to figure it out also google chrome ( i think) messed up the card slot. if this affects any other netbooks could you let me know.

DEXTECH | Tablet Attack!
HP Slate vs Samsung Galaxy Tab vs Apple iPad vs RIM Blackberry Playbooks
Just Recently, RIM has announced its new Tablet-BlackBerry Tablet. Now Apple iPad has serious competition in Tablet Market against Samsung Galaxy Tab, HP Slate and BlackBerry PlayBook.
That's just on the hardware side, though. Apple's still got three major advantages that opponents haven't made up much space on: iOS, the App Store, and a huge head start. It's going to take more than a pair of HD cameras to overcome that.
GOSSiP : Apple's iPad 2 (2nd Generation)
Pihak Foxconn telah mendapat notis dari Apple bagi rancangan untuk penghantaran iPad-2 pada Feb 2011, dengan penghantaran awal 400,000 600,000 unit, menurut DigiTimes. Sources expect the product to launch April 2011. Para peminat iPad mengharapkan pelancaran pada April 2011.
Ianya kemungkinan besar kerana generasi pertama iPad 1st generation dilancarkan pada bulan April tahun lalu. Apple's iPhones model/versinya dikeluarkan setiap tahun sama seperti Apple's iPad. .
- Skrin “retina” sama seperti iPhone 4
- Kamera depan (front-facing) dan dilengkapi dengan aplikasi panggilan video "FaceTime"
- Menaik taraf sokongan "AirPlay streaming" (pendapat dari Steve Jobs)
Sementara itu, pada pendapat saya ada beberapa ciri yang diharapkan iaitu:
- Butang untuk "locks screen" seperti dulu (Apple telah menukar fungsi butang tersebut dari "lock screen" kepada "Mute-Mode"
- Menyediakan/meningkatkan integrasi/sokongan dengan Apple TV, dimana membolehkan menggunakan media-streaming dari Apple TV kepada Apple iPad (sekarang anda boleh melakukan sebaliknya). Dimana pada pendapat saya jika anda dapat menggunakan "Movie-Streaming" pada iPad 2 secara mobile memey netup !!!
Apakah ciri-ciri yang anda harapkan pada keluaran iPad-2 dan seterusnya?

How to Create Multiboot USB DVD ISO Images | XBOOT | MiG from v1
There are hundreds of Live CDs which are free of cost available on the Internet these days. Many of them are essential for a variety of purposes but one of the big issues is to carry a number of CD’s along, which is too much of a hassle.
Nowadays everyone is aware of the benefits of ISO images. Many developers provide ISO images of their release for free download, especially in the antivirus and security niche but also in utility and Linux. But the problem that some users face is that there does not seem to be a way to combine multiple ISO images on an optical disk (like a CD or DVD) or USB device. That’s why Xboot has been created by its developer. This free application can combine multiple ISO images into one multiboot disk or USB device.
ISO images can be dragged and dropped into the main program interface. Each ISO is listed with its name, size, a category, file path and other information. The program will automatically calculate the combined file size and display it as the total size in the same program window. That’s helpful to keep below the maximum storage space of CDs, DVDs or USB sticks.
Another additional option, which is to calculate checksums is also provided which is useful to verify the integrity of an ISO image. ISO images can be added via the file menu as well which opens a file browser to select ISO images from connected storage devices. A click on Create ISO or Create USB creates the the multiboot ISO image or USB device. Any ISO image created this way needs to be burned to disk before it can be used.
Xboot is a helpful tool to add multiple ISO images to one multiboot ISO image or USB device where the creation process is easy to complete. It is compatible with 32-bit or 64-bit editions of Windows. The free software requires the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 on the computer system.
