  1. My thoughts on Surface RT - AuTechHeads Blogs

    Yep, I wasn't especially clear on that. I am aware there's an ability to work around this (and assume this is the reference). I meant a 'supported' configuration option, perhaps one that optionally submits sites for review to include in the official whitelist...

  2. My thoughts on Surface RT - AuTechHeads Blogs

    You can add sites to the flash whitelist, There is a whole thread on the xda forums about it. I tested it myself and it does indeed work. How long the loophole stays open for is the big question

  4. Windows 8 RT Phone - what do you plan? - AuTechHeads Blogs

    I agree Matt. The push towards "If you can't do something in Metro, just switch across to Explorer" will fail horribly on a touchscreen tablet or RT device. I can't imagine running OS X on an iPad, it would be terrible. But for people that want a device to...

    Thanks for this post. I too was debating if it was worth bringing my laptop along to the sessions, good to see I won't be alone when doing so.

  8. How to add your KMS keys for Windows 8 and Server 2012 - AuTechHeads Blogs

    Is also worth noting that you MUST have SP1 installed. Because our KMS server was on a dedicated VM, it somehow got missed on our patching cycle (we basically forgot it existed). We soon found out when we got the "This update is not applicable to your setup...

  9. Windows To Go - AuTechHeads Blogs

    It's actually an SSD drive with a USB interface. I dare say that supporting any USB is too risky due to the high failure rates of crappy USBs, which in turn won't look good for Microsoft.

Never Enough Battery Life

Posted @ Friday, 15 October 2010 7:39 PM By madroo

      I've been having no end of problems with Mobiles and other devices of late.  Either the products are coming up short in the fuel capacity or I'm just an over the top user.  I think the earlier is the case. I had been using an iPhone 3Gs for some 12mths or so as many of you will know through my consistent complaining and issues I had with it (12 replacements in 12 mths).  One of my biggest issues was the life of the battery.  Generally the iPhones I was ...

Apple iPhone4 - yellowing in images??

Posted @ Sunday, 1 August 2010 2:10 PM By moldor

Well I bit the bullet and upgraded both iPhone 3GSes to iPhone 4s. Yes, I *did* do it on the launch day here in Australia, but not by lining up – granted, some people enjoy the experience, but I can’t think of a more useless waste of time. I like my warmth and comfort ! Especially when I called my local Telstra store and asked them to reserve two if they had any left – they did, and apart from a minor porting hassle getting one of the numbers over from Vodafone, all went well. T ...

Review of a Pirated ConfigMgr vNext

Posted @ Wednesday, 26 May 2010 12:32 PM By Matt Marlor

I know piracy is wrong and hurts software developers, but I was excited by the prospect of trying the next version of System Center Configuration Manager (aka ConfigMgr or SCCM)! I've certainly learnt my lesson from this, and hopefully have some valuable insights to share with you all on what's obviously a way-not-ready-for-primetime version of Microsoft's awesome configuration management product!

Android 2.2 (Froyo) on the Nexus One - First Impressions

Posted @ Sunday, 23 May 2010 10:47 PM By Will Hughes

I've been using the Android Platform now for roughly 18 months. In that time I've owned three different Android devices - HTC Dream / G1, Motorolla Milestone, and currently  - Nexus One. The latest release of Android dropped today - and Nexus One owners are the first to get official updates. At the moment the launch appears to be limited to devices in the US, with the rest of the population getting updates as they're progressively rolled out.  It's also available for impatient non-USA&nbs ...
