Dell Mini 9 Hackintosh
I had initially bought this Dell Mini 9 off Craigslist because it was running Mac OSX. While I enjoyed having a mini laptop like this, I quickly realized it was not good to type on for hours on end. I decided to start playing with it a little more and opted to wipe OSX and go with Jolicloud. Jolicloud proved to me that cloud based laptops are not ready for prime time. Too many things I do that I needed access to files I didn't have. I am liking the idea of going back to a net book with OSX.
I tried to get Snow Leopard installed on my Dell Mini 9 today. I ran into the hard drive space issues again. Rather than working through the hacks to create a LITTLE more space so in the end I could have a tiny hard drive, I bought a 32GB SSD to replace the 8GB one I had. Once it comes in .. I'll post the results and see if it all came together.

I was thinking that this laptop would not work if you have it on your lap, but it turns out that it works very well on the lap. Very well done review, worth checking out.
Dell says, "Social media is not a budget or revenue question, it's a listening question"
Michael Buck, Dell's Global SMB Online Director, reveals why and how Dell uses social media for e-commerce.
- "The way you use social media tools is the way you innovate"
- Dell drives $13 billion worth of revenue through e-commerce; every 2 seconds there is an online order
- "Social media (for Dell) is not a budget or revenue question, it's a listening question"
- Different social media platforms are grouped to match different organisational goals. e.g. 39 Dell accounts on Twitter serve different purposes.
- In order to make revenue (online), you first have to build credibility
- Live chat is a huge sales opportunity for Dell (talk2Dell)
mein neuer laptop läuft wieder mit windows
vorab: mein neuer laptop läuft nicht wieder mit windows, weil ich spontan meine meinung über microsoft geändert habe - er läuft mit windows, weil dell keine linux-rechner repariert.
aber eins nach dem anderen: meine grippe ist am abklingen und ich fühlte mich endlich fit genug, ubuntu auf meinem neuen dell studio xps 13 zu installieren. alles funktionierte wunderbar, die installation verlief ohne probleme - volle hardwareunterstützung. also begann ich, das system meinen vorstellungen anzupassen.
es dauert normalerweise so ca. drei stunden, bis alle von mir bevorzugten programme installiert sind und sich alles am system so verhält und aussieht, wie es soll. am ende werden noch die restricted extras und das libdvdcss2-package installiert.
ich war also praktisch fertig, legte zu testzwecken noch eine kauf-dvd ein, nur um sicher zu gehen... and that's when it all went to hell. erst zu diesem zeitpunkt lief das dvd-laufwerk nämlich das erste mal mit voller drehzahl (die ubuntu-installation erfolgte mittels unetbootin von einem usb-stick). zuerst klang alles noch normal, dann ein wenig wie eine maultrommel und kurz danach klang es, als ob das laufwerk auf meiner dvd rumkauen und diese bald in kleinen stückchen ausspucken würde. 'hmm, könnte ja an der dvd liegen, also erstmal eine andere einlegen.' es lag nicht an der dvd - das laufwerk läuft unrund. nach kurzem telefonat mit der zuständigen (und sehr freundlichen) dell-verkäuferin und dem dell-hardware-support steht mein laptop jetzt wieder originalverpackt in meinem wohnzimmer und wartet darauf, zur reparatur abgeholt zu werden.
vorerst werde ich also weiterhin auf meinem acer aspire one arbeiten. um die zeit bis zur erneuten zustellung des neuen laptops zu überbrücken, werde ich mich in meinem blog wohl hauptsächlich mit diesem und dem darauf installierten crunchbang-linux befassen.

dell vs. mac … so over the last couple of weeks i have heard a lot of times that macs are just too expensive, compare to macs. and that you can get a much cheaper pc. yes you can get a cheap pc that is true, but that cheap pc won’t compare to the mac you compare it to. so this morning i went to dell and just tried to build a dell computer that was comparable to the new quadcore imac. you can see the result in the screenshots … the dell came out at $1534 and the imac at $1999. there are a couple of caveats here … first off, that dell price is for a system that has a 24” screen, i couldn’t find a 27” quickly on the dell site (i ticked off large screen but they only go to 24” … don’t know why). also the system has an older quadcore processor, and the mac has a better graphics card. if you account for all of these three the price difference will be fairly small maybe $200. for that though you get a much better looking system that has one cable, is easy to set up, and runs mac os x :-)
so i think overall, with an apples to apple comparison the macs are not that much more expensive.
Laptop reliability survey: ASUS and Toshiba win, HP fails
Boy, do we have a nice slab of data for you to sink your teeth into today. The 3-year service history of more than 30,000 laptops has been pored over, analyzed, and reduced to gorgeous comparative charts, which you know you're dying to know more about. We should note, however, that the service was provided by SquareTrade, whose primary business is selling extended warranties, but that shouldn't completely prejudice us against reaching conclusions on the basis of the presented facts. Firstly, netbooks have shown themselves to be on average 20 percent less reliable than entry-level laptops, which in turn are 10 percent more likely to break down than premium machines. In other words, you get what you pay for -- shocking, right? The big talking point, though, will inevitably be the manufacturer comparison chart above: here ASUS and Toshiba (rather appropriately) share the winners' spoils, while HP languishes in the ignominious last place, with more than a quarter of all laptops expected to suffer a hardware fault of some kind within three years.

Not really surprising. I've always liked Asus products and the fact that they provide a 2 year manufacturers warranty with every laptops means they believe in their products.
Toshiba has always been my second favourite choice even though they've didn't offer cutting edge technology (e.g. 15" laptop with num keys, eSata ports, Blu-ray drives etc) on their laptops till months after Asus and Sony did, they've always made sure their laptops have a pretty solid build.
Thanks
Dell Goes Official With Android-Based Mini 3i Smartphone
The day has finally come, folks. Dell is getting into the smartphone business. It's kind of tough to believe, actually. Dell has been a staple in the PC industry for years, selling customized desktops, notebooks, netbooks, all-in-one PCs, media centers and every possible PC accessory you could ever think of. But what it hasn't done is, well, anything other than that. Until today.
