ASUS EEE PC 701 Review

Thursday, December 6th, 2007




I don’t own this cool gadget, but I’ve experienced to play around with it, just like having one, because I’m always bringing it with me. It’s from my work actually, but I can bring it wherever I want.

Karlo of Pinoyblogero.com asked me to make a review of this very hot laptop that he was dying to have, that’s why I’m creating this post, just for him :P hehehe.. and syempre to those who are interested to have an ASUS Eee PC, this review is for you na rin.

It’s the best value-priced notebook on the planet for me, because of its super cute size and stylish design, its friendly user interface (that offers only six easy-to-understand options: Internet, Work, Learn, Play, Settings, and Favorites), it’s very lightweight, and it’s so cheap.
It can’t even occupy the entire space of my small black sling bag, and it’s very unnoticeable that you’re bringing a laptop with you. It’s semi-snatch proof (because snatchers will not notice that you’re bringing a cool and powerful gadget inside your bag, Hehehe… ) My boss bought it for only 18,000.00 Pesos, but I saw this in one of the stores inside the Mall of Asia, and it’s even cheaper, it’s only 17,499.00 in.. ahmm? I forgot the dealer who sells this stuff (just go there, and check all the PC dealers one by one, I’m sure you’ll find it in no time :P)


I don’t have an actual photo of this laptop, but there’s a lot in the web. Just google it, and you’ll find it in every corner of the search results :P But, I have a sample photo taken by this laptop from its webcam.
Clear naman diba? It’s a picture of (from left) Kuya Andrew, Me, and his cousin Tinky in Starbucks outside Glorietta 3. It only has 0.3 megapixels, too small no? Pero, it’s kinda okey naman…

For the specs, it has a 900-MHz Intel Celeron Processor, Asus Xandros-based Linux operating system (but you can install Windows XP if you want, it’s in the manual), 512 MB RAM (it’s upgradeable to 1GIG, or 2GIG yata, pero not sure about the 2GIG upgrade), 4GIG flash drive (eto ang ayaw ko dito, masyadong maliit ang storage. But not bad if you’ll just use it for blogging, browsing, twittering, chatting, and other stuff that you can think about and it will not consume any storage, and oh… about the 4GIG storage, you can only use 1GIG of it, because the system already occupied 75% of its entire memory, so there’s no room for large files like mp3s, mp4s, and you know the rest… You can use an external hard drive if you want a large file storage, I have tried it, and it works fast, this mini gadget can read and open all the files stored in a 250 gig hard drive [even more] as nimble as a PC with Quad-Core processor, hehe.. indeed, it’s really fast, I tell you…), 7 inches/800 x 480 resolution, 64MB video memory, 802.11b/g wireless networking, ( I have tried also to use its wireless internet, in free WiFi zones here in Manila, such as Robinsons Mall, TGI Fridays in Glorietta, and paid hotspots, such as Glorietta 1, 2, 3, and 4, Greenbelt 1 to 5, Starbucks Ayala, RCBC, and all Globequest WIZ hotspots. Its wireless network was incredibly fast, I can do live blogging, twittering, and other stuff that I’m addicted to, just like I’m using a PC with a T3 internet connection, whoaw! that is really fast no? bwahehehe… . I just hope that WiFi hotspots here in Manila are free like the WiFi in Davao.), three USB 2.0, ethernet, modem, headphone, and mic ports, SD/MMC card slots, its size was 8.9 x 6.5 x 1.4 inches, and weighing only 2 pounds. For the video pala, you don’t need to download such crappy DivX plugins to play DivX videos, lahat built it na! wala ka nang hahanapin pa :P and.. for the powerful IE browser (nahhh, just joking, it’s FF, katakot no pag IE? hehe.. ), you don’t need to install plugins such as Adobe Flash Player, Quick Time, Java Runtime Environment, Quicktime Player, and Real Time Player, because it’s all pre-installed. For the Messenger, Skype and Pidgin Messenger (it’s an all in one messenger for AIM, Google Talk, Groupwise, ICQ, IRC, MSN, QQ, SIMPLE, Sametime, XMPP, and Yahoo) are already installed. For the other features, just buy one, to experience its full power! Rawrr!!!

Overall performance was pretty snappy, even though its processor is only Celeron. All apps load fast, and you won’t regret in buying it because it’s ahmm.. basta yun na yun! nyahehe.. ^_^ Thanks for your time reading my quick and mini review :P

MAC or PC?

Friday, September 28th, 2007



What if somebody will give you a gift, and he/she will let you decide if you want a MAC or a PC. What will you choose? a MAC? or a PC?

But, what if you have earned and saved 200k for 1 year (from your work), and decided to buy a computer, what will you choose? a MAC or a PC? and why? ^_^

I’m facing this problem right now, and I can’t decide whether to have a MAC or a PC. I’m always in front of a PC everyday in the office, that’s why I want to buy MAC and play around with it (because I just want to experience the MAC way of life, wahehe), or have a MAC if someone will give it to me for free. But I think there are limitations in using MAC (some of my software won’t work in MAC, and other applications that works only in PC). If I’ll buy a PC, or have a PC as a free gift from someone, I can do all sort of things that I am doing inside the office. Is it worth it to have a MAC? or a PC?

I think if it’s for free, you’ll choose MAC, because it’s quite expensive compared to PC. But if you’ll buy yourself a computer, you’ll probably go for a PC, for practicality purposes, am I right? or… for you? what will you choose? ^_^ or go for MAC and use iEmulator? hehe

Once you have purchased your lovely iPhone 3G, you have 30 days to activate it. Apple and AT&T are making strict measures about the activation of the iPhone so that they can avoid future troubles. iPhone 3G is available at over 1,800 AT&T locations across the United States.

Microsoft Windows Vienna

Saturday, April 28th, 2007

Huh? Ano yan bagong OS nanaman? (Yan ang sasabihin ng mga wala pang alam tungkol sa Vienna). Hayyy, ano ba tong post na to, luma na, ngayon mo lang ba nalaman na may Windows Vienna na e rerelease sa 2009? Hayyy huli sa balita! Kawawang bata… (Eto naman ang sasabihin ng mga taong matataas ang pride at alam na nila ang tungkol sa Windows Vienna). Hmmm? Ano yan joke? Windows na Vienna? Vienna Sausage ba yan? (Eto naman ang sasabihin ng mga taong walang paki at walang alam tungkol sa mga Operating Systems na bago ngayon, at wala talagang alam kung anong ibig sabihin o ano ang isang OS).

Those are the 3 types of people in the world wide web base on my opinion. Wahehe… Okey, let’s go back to the main topic, what is Windows Vienna? Sa mga di pa nakaka alam. Nabasa ko lang po to sa pag sesearch ko tungkol sa mga OS, at eto po ay nakuha ko sa Wikipedia. Thank you so much for that free Encyclopedia, dati gagasto ka pa ng 20k-30k maka bili lang ng Encyclopedia, ngayon libre nalang, grabe talaga ang freebies sa Malawak na Mundong Sapot, or World Wide Web. wahehehe… Eto na ang Windows Vienna (copy pasted from wikipedia):

Windows “Vienna” (formerly known as Blackcomb) is a codename for a future version of Microsoft Windows, originally announced in February 2000, that has been subject to major delays and rescheduling. Microsoft has announced it will be released in 2009, and according to “Smart Computing In Plain English”, a technology magazine, work on it began right after Windows Vista was released. As of February 2007, the name of the operating system used internally is undisclosed and is not used publicly by Microsoft, though “Windows 7″ has been noted in job postings as a working name for the project.
Microsoft has refrained from discussing the details about “Vienna” publicly as they focus on the release and marketing of
Windows Vista, though some early details of various core operating system features have emerged at developer conferences such as Windows Hardware Engineering Conference in 2006.

That’s all for now, for the sake sa mga wala pang ka muwang muwang tungkol sa Windows Vienna, atleast pag naligaw kayo sa blog na to may matutu tunan nanaman kayo na bago tungkol sa mga OS, astig diba??? :)

Windows Vista Released!

Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007

Now, the power of Longhorn was truly unleashed! The beta days are over. Feel the superb features of Windows Vista like it was never been before! We live in an age where nearly everything is digital—the documents you create, the photos you take, and the music and videos that you enjoy on your PC. Even your daily correspondence with others through e-mail, faxes, and voice mail is digital. Your life is connected to the digital files stored on your PC.
Windows Vista introduces breakthrough computing experiences that are both visually exciting and intuitively designed, and will positively change the ways in which you use your PC. With the new desktop experience, you can more efficiently organize and find your information. You can “see” your files and applications in a way that makes sense to you so you can confidently focus on what you want to accomplish.
All of the elements of Windows Vista work together to create a new breakthrough computing experience. Take a look for yourself.

Windows Aero
Windows Vista introduces the breakthrough Windows Aero user interface. Taking full advantage of the hardware on your PC, Aero gives you the best performance, and the most efficient, finely-tuned, and elegant Windows Vista experience.

Intuitive Design for a Streamlined Experience
Windows Vista will save you time, with simplified navigation that makes it dramatically easier to see the contents of your files.

Improved Productivity
Windows Vista works the way you want it to work, making it a snap to instantly find any file, application, or e-mail on your PC. But Windows Vista goes further than simple desktop search—it also gives you personalized ways to view and organize your files. With Windows Vista, the operating system adapts to you, rather than the other way around.

Tuesday, January 16th, 2007

If you’re here looking for ways of how to fix this RTHDCPL.EXE - Illegal System DLL Relocation error, you’ve come to the right place.

Here are the symptoms of the problem and how to fix it from Microsoft Support website:

Symptoms of the problem
Certain programs may not start after you install security update 925902 (MS07-017) and security update 928843 (MS07-008) on a computer that is running Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack 2 (SP2). Additionally, you may receive an error message that resembles the following:
application_executable_name - Illegal System DLL Relocation


The system DLL user32.dll was relocated in memory. The application will not run properly. The relocation occurred because the DLL C:\Windows\System32\Hhctrl.ocx occupied an address range reserved for Windows system DLLs. The vendor supplying the DLL should be contacted for a new DLL.


To resolve this problem, follow these steps:
1. Install all important updates here.

2. Try to run the program that did not start again. If the program starts and if you do not receive the error message in the “Symptoms of the problem” section, you are finished. If the error continues, follow steps 3 through 5.

3. Visit this website.

4. Click Download, and then click Run. If the Download button is not available, you must first click Validate to validate your copy of Windows.

5. Follow the instructions that appear on the screen to install update 935448.

History of AJAX

Monday, September 25th, 2006

2005 will definitely be remembered as the rise of AJAX – the new development technique that many believe will blur the line between web-based and desktop applications. This mystical acronym, authored by Adaptive Path in mid February, is a label for the rich, highly responsive and interactive interfaces of AJAX-enabled applications. It stands for “Asynchronous JavaScript + XML”.

Although we are just beginning to realize its full potential, the proven success of famous AJAX-based projects like Google Maps signifies that this is not just another media hype, but rather a promising technology that may change web-applications as we know them.

The purpose of this article is to help developers understand the core concept of AJAX, realize its benefits and suitable application scenarios, and of course, become aware of its drawbacks. You will learn about some of the most important AJAX implementations as well as about some of the leading development tools and components, which can help you jump-start your AJAX-enabled applications.

This document is aimed at ASP.NET developers, although anyone with a good knowledge of how the Internet works will gain a solid understanding of AJAX and its benefits.
