In the last years the computers are used always, everywhere in any things.
It’s right or it’s wrong? I don’t know, but the embedded
is grew a lot and fast.

I like these systems and I discovered some interesting miniPCs:

I wrote this note on the blog, because after the last firmware update the gps 50,005 offline on my nokia 5800xp stopped working: it could not find the satellite!

The problem is this: I had all the settings to use GPS navigator offline, the phone could no longer do the fix the satellite, I initially I found some information here:

http://discussions.europe.nokia.com/t5/Software-Updates/GPS-broken-5800-upgraded-to-50-005/mp/684693

… But it was not enough! I found some people saying that the gps nokia has problems in general to fix the satellite because it is not a real GPS and it should work well only in assisted mode ( A-GPS).
However this thing is not entirely true with the previous version of firmware on my nokia 5800 could do the fix with the GPS satellites quickly without the help of A-GPS!

I eventually solved by making the first connection to the satellites using A-GPS (assisted online mode). After the first connection (download 480Kb of data it -> maybe update some information on the satellites) the GPS works quite well in offline currently to do the fix the satellite it takes less than 10 seconds!

So even if your GPS after a firmware upgrade does not work the first thing to try is connect via A-GPS online.When you do this procedure you must position yourself OUTSIDE (not at home) and possibly with clear skies and calm (the clouds could disrupt the signal!).
Good luck!
if not work either mode A-GPS, please contact a service center.
ps
so I can finally use the application SportTracker (this application will speak later).

LoL

I published the picture from the news of Budget Planner – Mint.com.
The author tries to explain correctly that there aren’t differences between expensive cable and economic one because
in the digital technology there is no signal degradation, (at least over shorter runs).

Budget Planner – Mint.com.

Some time ago the cables were made of expensive materials in order to not degrade the analog signal,
for example the gold: the extra price was justified,
but today I agree with article of the rip: there is no need to pay a $ 150 HDMI cable,
because the signal quality is the same in the cheap cable (if used on runs not too long).
Of course you must not buy the cable from $ 2, because then the material of the connectors is very bad and it will break soon.

If you happen to read the news: “The Commodore 64 is back,” etc … you must not believe because this notice is a case of viral marketing!
The new c=64 is a compact desktop PC.

ZPC-GX31

This is not new news, this computer is already on the market for 2 years and the internal components are obsolete.
On hardwareupgrade.it in an article of 2008 already in the comments, someone said it looked like the c = 64

However it seems that the cybernetman bought the rights to use the Commodore name and logo on its new line of keyboard pc

“The Commodore name licensed again for a line of keyboard PCs originally appeared on Engadget on Tue, 16 Mar 2010 18:29:00 EST.”

IMHO, if this news had to be true, a computer keyboard in 2010 has both disadvantages of laptops and desktop PCs, it could become a multimedia center to put near the television, but I predict a flop!
