There Is An App For That (Yes Really)…

I have been getting quite a number of dm’s on Twitter and a number of im’s asking about how I get by without my weekly dose of anime since I switched all my computers (be it desktops or portables) to offerings by Apple…

My response???

“I haven’t missed any!!!”

You see in Windows, one can watch a 720p soft-subbed MKV video file through the use of video or audio codecs that are readily available for download and easily integrated into a media player of choice…

As most Windows fanboys mostly have tunnel vision, they do not realise that the same codecs are available for OSX…

One such solution is Perian…

It will play anything that you throw at it with no fuss and integrates with the default Quicktime player (no need to download or Media Player Classic)…

If downloading a different player (ala Windows) is your thing, you can consider MPlayer OSX Extended instead…

So remember fanboys, the internet is a dangerous place, especially when you make assumptions…

If you need to ask a question but can’t bring yourself to ask someone, try google…

Ultimate!!!

htc touch diamond 2 pics - win 7 051 I went for the Windows 7 launch on Saturday and bought a Windows 7 Ultimate (retail pack) for RM 720 (which works out to only RM 1.97 per day assuming that I only use it for a year)… The wife’s choice of a Windows 7 Home Premium (retail pack) is RM 419 (which works out to be about RM 1.15 per day assuming that she only uses it for a year)… So do the right thing and stop re-arming the RTM ok???

Messenger problems: Cannot sign in, no error code - Windows Live Community

Messenger has been giving me some problems lately as it wouldn’t allow me to sign in on my desktop… It signs in just fine on my laptops and netbooks but it just wouldn’t sign in on the desktop eventhough all the devices were connected to the same network… Strange eh??? Thankfully I managed to find a fix… If you guys are experiencing the same issue, try out the link below and see if it helps…

Ubuntu in Windows 7…

My quest for more PPD and better folding performance has led towards an Ubuntu folding client…

Therefore, I needed Ubuntu on my desktop… Here are some screencaps from my journey…

Issues Resolved…

Time to make up for lost time…

Humanity Has To Take A Back Seat…

Some technical problems are stopping me from folding properly (the SMP client worked fine in Vista but is giving me some problems in Windows 7) and I have to resort to a GPU client… Hopefully I can find a solution to the technical issues fast…

Nothingness…

Switched over to Windows 7 x64 and noticed that your Logitech G15 lcd panel and profile keys no longer work??? Frustrated that you can’t use the Vista x64 drivers even in compatibility mode???

Well fret no more as you can use the solution found here!!!
