New Toys
July 24, 2008 by debugy2k.
New toys of the week?..month?…Express Card memory card with usb connector. Well this is a 16GB Express Card memory that we would be carrying for the laptops that support express card. Default is in FAT32 but can be formated to NTFS. We will be carrying the 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB models. Speed tests are amazing through the express card slot. You can also use this in conjunction with a usb mini cable. Speed test through usb is about the same with any other usb flash drives out there.
Next would be a neat new toy that I’m trying out. Straight out from Taiwan is the Sapido 3.5G NES. It does everything a regular router does and more. It can be an AP, Router, 3.5G (thru USB) WAN, Switch, USB sharing (printer, camera, usb ext hdd). All in a nice small package. Downside?…firmware is in chinese. Need to talk to the manufacturer to see if there’s an english firmware.

Pics for Minuk

OQO model 02 running Centrafuse v2.0
Should’ve taken the OBDII pics in the car so you can see the live stats. I’ll take a video of it another time for you. And I’m using the bluetooth OBDII connector, so everything is wireless.

Zimbabwe introduces 100-billion-dollar note
July 20, 2008 by debugy2k.
HARARE (AFP) - Zimbabwe, grappling with a record 2.2 million percent inflation, has introduced a new 100-billion-dollar bank note in a bid to tackle rampant cash shortages, the central bank said Saturday.
The new note will go into circulation on Monday, the bank said in a statement cited by state media, joining about half a dozen new high denomination notes already issued this year.
In January, a 10-million-dollar note was issued, then a 50-million-dollar note in April. In May, notes for 100 million and 250 million dollars were issued, swiftly followed by those for five billion, 25 billion and 50 billion.
The southern African nation, currently gripped by a post-election crisis, has been ravaged by hyperinflation which shot up from 165,000 percent in February to 2.2 million in June.
Independent economists however believe the official inflation figure is grossly understated, estimating it could be running between 10 million and 15 million percent.
Zimbabwe’s chronic economic crisis has left at least 80 percent of the population living below the poverty threshold and mass shortages of basic goods in shops.

Lenovo X300 + Sony Ericsson MBW-150
July 14, 2008 by debugy2k.
Most of you guys know that I’m a shopaholic and I’m also a techie. So of course I will have all these new and cool toys to play with. And of course I can always write it off as business expenses.
So my new toy of the month is the Lenovo X300. Specs: 64GB SSD, DVDRW, Verizon WWAN, GPS, carbon fiber roll cage, 4GB RAM, 13.3″ LED LCD, gigabit network, core2 duo 1.2GHz, WVB with WXPP rollback, webcam, fingerprint, keyboard light, 6 cell battery, and 3 cell bay battery. Got it for $3,599.
Once you go SSD…you will never want to ever go back to regular HDD. This baby can boot up in under 15 seconds. Start Adobe photoshop instantly. OMG OMG…I’m going to have a noise bleed from this amazing speed. Only thing lacking is a discreet video card….so no games for this laptop. But it’s great for everyday business use.

Before and after pic of the keyboard light. I would prefer the backlit keyboard on the Apple Air but this LED light is just right for power saving. ![IMG_0272 [640x480]](http://blog.debugy2k.net/__oneclick_uploads/2008/07/img-0272640x480.jpg "IMG_0272 [640x480]")

Video of the bootup time.
Video of Flash CS3 starting up.
So the next new toy I go this month would be the Sony Ericsson MBW-150 Bluetooth Executive Watch $450. This baby is a remote control for the cell phones. It can control mp3 (play, stop, forward, back), has caller-id, txt msg reminder, forget your phone reminder, and it just looks so cool.
And some random pics to end this blog…..

I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. –Edgar Allan Poe
