Google+ for iPhone came and went

Yesterday many pages reported the release of Google+ for iPhone. The part that was not reported by many was that the application was so buggy, it crashed so many times, that in less than one hour Google was forced to release a second version of it trying to fix some of the problems. Unfortunately it seems that the second release was not good enough either because the application was retired from the Apple's AppStore in less than 12 hours from it release. Was Apple the one removing the application asking Google to fix it? Or was Google the one asking Apple to remove it to fix all the issues? Who knows...

Converting your iPad in an Atari

Is this a good idea? I'm nobody to answer this question because I have to confess that I never have played any of the games for this platform. But I have to recognize that everybody knows what is an Atari. So that said. The iCade is like some sort of cabinet armed with joystick and buttons that will help you to enjoy more than 100 Atari games.

Microsoft talks about Surface II

A video worth more than 1000 words. Here is the link.

W7 very slow copying to USB

Recently I got a WD Elements 160 Gb external HDD. Right on time because my RUVO MC was almost full so I needed to move few movies out of it. I connected the USB HDD and start moving the first 1.5 Gb movie. Something was wrong, a process that should not have taking more than few minutes now was taking more than 20 minutes. I did some research online and for my surprise found many users reporting the same issue since the release of Windows 7. There is not any fix from Microsoft so far but the good news is that I found following the above link in the wonderful Technet forum the solution.

How to fix this issue:

Disable Superfetch and Remote Differential Compression.

Superfetch can be disabled by;
Going to start > right clicking Computer > Click Manage > Choose Services and Applications > Services
Find "Superfetch" in the list, and right click > Properties > Change "Startup Type" to "Disabled"
Then Hit "Stop" then "Apply"

Remote Differential Compression can be disabled by:
Going to Start: Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Programs and Features > "Turn Windows Features on or Off"
Uncheck Remote Differential Compression and Click OK.

Restart the computer after these changes.

Sound controlled by Tablet PCs

When you are in love with a piece of technology you will notice the presence of that technology in the most unbelievable places. That was the case of Linda, she went to a concert and she found herself surrounded by Tablet PCs that were controlling the sound of the event. Another proof that the time of Desktop PCs is gone.

Live.com better than ever

I was checking Skydrive in my iPad 2 and it was a nice surprise to see how good the other services offered by Microsoft at live.com were working in this Tablet. Of course, forget about uploading files to Skydrive from your iPad, but that's something that you should be asking to another Steve.

Skydrive now in HTML5

Well, this is a good news. Having Skydrive redone in HTML5 opens a window of opportunities for users of Tablet and other devices.
