D-Link DUB-H7 7 port USB 2.0 Hub Review

For a week now, I am haunted by an error message that says "power surge on usb hub" whenever I am trying to install a Kyocera FS-C5100DN to every laptop and desktop PC. For review, a USB port on a laptop or desktop can provide a maximum current of 500mA. So, it means that the Kyocera FS-C5100DN is a high-powered USB device that draws more than 500mA to my USB ports (correct me if I'm wrong).

Windows 7: Stuck on failure configuring windows updates reverting changes

I came across this issue yesterday after downloading and installing several updates to a laptop that had never got any updates since Windows 7 was setup. It was I think more that 130 important and optional updates. As soon as installed the updates, it automatically restarted the laptop and causes this looping issue of "failure configuring windows updates reverting changes". In a simple word, it was stuck on that screen.

Windows Phone Mango: Can't Connect to IM [Workaround]

I just purchased my HTC Titan last December 2011 and everything is working fine and smoothly except for the Facebook Chat built in to Windows Phone Mango.

I don't think the issue here is being a 3rd party of application for Facebook Chat in Message hub in Mango but instead it is something more like a "bug?" that's only my opinion based on test and observation.

How To Get Facebook Timeline

Well it seems to be that change is inevitable for Facebook users since timeline is on it's Beta phase now. If you want to learn more about the Facebook Timeline just click here. I am using it for a day now, and I can tell you that the new interface is really cool, pretty nice actually. If you want to get the new face of Facebook just follow the these simple steps.

STOP: Facebook Timeline is in beta phase so don't continue reading if you're not comfortable with it.

HOW TO GET FACEBOOK TIMELINE


1. In the search box of Facebook, type developer. Choose the first entry that shows up. You may want to allow the application to gather your data.
2. Go to the Apps section. Then click the Create New App.
3. Then a pop up with 2 text boxes should show up asking you to type your name and namespace. You can put anything here e.g. name: your name  namespace: yournameapp
4. Hit I agree with the Terms and Condition.Then a Captcha should show up, type the things you see.
In my case, after typing the Captcha thing, it asked me to verify it with mobile number or credit card number. So I used my mobile number then a I received a verification number that I need to type in the verification box. CAUTION: if you're in doubt stop immediately here.
5. After all those step, you should be on a page where on the left side you can see Open Graph, click it.
6. On box that says People can, I put read and a game. Then hit Get Started button.
7. Then wait for few minutes like 2-3 minutes, go to bathroom, drink water or do whatever you want but you have to wait for few minutes, then go back to your Home page in Facebook. Now you should see an invitation for Facebook Timeline, just agree to that and your done.

So whatever weird things you'll encounter along the way using your new Facebook Timeline, always remember that this is a BETA PHASE so things will change and will continue changing.
