The Heron Refused to Fly

Honestly, I’m disappointed with the latest release of Ubuntu, the Ubuntu 8.04 LTS otherwise known as Hardy Heron. I became quite excited when the final version was about to be released. As soon as it was available, I didn’t waste time and downloaded it at once. Installed the same over the previous version (v7.10, Gutsy Gibbon) [...]

Add to that the thousands as well of audio, video, programs, and data files. This is the picture that’s worth a thousand pictures. Save for the images uploaded and saved [...]

The Ubuntu Experience

I’ve been tinkering with my laptop for the last week or so, and finally I was able to dual boot with Linux Ubuntu (Gutsy Gibbon v. 7.10) and Windows XP Service Pack 2. The result of which, as I was trying to show in my last post, is an OS X desktop look: I’ve searched the [...]

ZPDee Sucks Bigtime

Here I am agonizing over another crappy internet service from Smart 3G because Skycable’s ZPDee sucks bigtime! At least with the former I have connection. According to ZPDee’s contact page, you can contact them 24/7 using their hotline 631-0000. But try calling them at night, and you’ll get into an answering machine telling you to wait [...]

The Mighty Portability

This might have come sooner than I expected. Just can’t stop the urge to try out this thing with my own hands, at the comfort of my home. Now, how does it measure (literally, in size) against my current laptop, the 15.4″ HP Pavilion:
