NOTE: This is a first draft / outline. The review will be updated with more info and photos… Startup time and hard drive Slow startup with conventional hard drive and a bit of bloatware (trend micro, Dell utilities) Hard drive space from factory: 262GB free of 283GB Cooling and fan noise It has one dinky little cooling fan. Small fan = has to spin fast. So when the fan kicks in you really notice it. Thankfully, the fan is not on

NZBMatrix down!

They have a rather nasty database error message showing tonight: Table ‘./nzbmatri_nzb00matrix01sql/users’ is marked as crashed and last (automatic?) repair failed 🙁 NOTES: The nzbmatrix.com  frontpage will actually load if you are NOT logged in, so the damage may be limited to just the users table Someone at NZBMatrix is probably going to need to restore the user table from a backup I’m betting on the restore occurring in the morning when they wake up and see the issue (and perhaps lots

How to get a refund from Amazon for an Android App Store purchase

4 comments

I mistakenly placed an Amazon App store order. I thought the app was a “free app of the day” but turned out to be full cost 🙁 Much to my surprise, I could find no readily apparent way to get a refund. This came as a shock because Google Play (Android Market) and Apple (iTunes app store) both allow time limited refunds. So naturally, I contacted Amazon about getting a refund: ————— 03/29/12 09:34:30 Your Name: J.D. Hodges Order Id: DXX-XXXXXXX-XXXXX03 Comments:

4G internet access in Springfield MO

One comment

Recently I had a very pleasant surprise: Springfield MO has 4G cellular internet coverage! Specifically, Clear has some WiMax towers up covering quite a bit of Springfield as well as Ozark, Republic and possibly Nixa. If you have a compatible Sprint 4G phone then you may already be good to go. I will post speedtest results when I get the chance 🙂 More info: Unofficial Sprint 4G near Springfield, Missouri (Currently receiveing in Ozark) – Android Forumshttp://androidforums.com/4g-discussion/286281-unofficial-sprint-4g-near-springfield-missouri-currently-receiveing-ozark.htmlHello everybody.
