I did a lot of searching and am giving up. The closest solution I've found was a KVM switch with built in bluetooth, unfortunately its real crappy (very poor video quality) and gets horrible reviews. I'm using a usb trackball mouse for repair work, if that fails I can buy a usb wireless...

If a blue tooth adapter works before windows loads and can be used to access BIOS/CMOS setup, then it would likely suit my purposes.

Yes I would need a blue tooth transceiver, but I'd need one that once paired would work without installing drivers like any other USB input device. Having to install drivers would be a deal breaker, especially when using a boot cd to work with partitions or disc images. If someone has a blue...

I recently switched from a mouse to a Bluetooth trackpad (Apple Magic Trackpad) due to severe wrist pain. I do computer repair work and use a KVM switch to connect my keyboard, monitor and mouse to the system's I am working on. Are there any bluetooth adapters that can pair with a blue tooth...

I like it when companies are willing to be open and honest about problems like this. I'm more likely to buy a Toshiba now, because I feel that if there is a defect they would respond appropriately.

If its anything like the the corsair version I bought, its all rugged steal until you get to the actual usb connection where it becomes a weak usb connector attached to a flimsy printed circuit board shoved into a very solid inner casing and held there by a thin plastic gasket. Bump the thing...

Anyway to add a USB soundcard to do 5.1 analog output? That's currently whats keeping my MacBook from replacing my Windows Desktop as my home theater PC.

If I had the skills, I think it would be fun to go to a lan party and completely dominate and humiliate the competition while using a Minnie Mouse Mouse.

Its not marketing BS. The ports with 3x power actually switch from 500ma of power to 1500ma of power per port.

For that price they should also throw in a software engineer who lives in your closet and will pop out and instantly fix any problems.

Using the jumper hack is a bad solution. Instead you run western digital's align utility to realign your drive. FYI I already had compatibility issues with my favorite diagnostic/formatting utilities with 4k drives ... looks like I will have to wait for an upgrade or switch disk utilities soon.

The iPod touch is the first apple product I purchased and I've had a lot of fun with it. One of the first things I though of was how much fun a giant iPod touch would be. My only problem is I think they really over-hyped the launch. If they called it the "iPad eBook Reader" .. people would...

"Windows does not do that." ... nor does any operating system that ever was used outside an undergraduate computer science class. Here is a quote form Linus Torvalds "Sometimes it’s a bit sad that we are definitely not the streamlined, small hyper efficient kernel I envisioned 15 years ago...

Don't forget the 2nd trigger condition. You got throttled for being an "offending subscriber. A friend of mine her ISP recently oversold her area and now she can no longer steam netflix without the movie halting every 15 min. I wonder her attempt to use neflix makes her an "offending...

Yes you can do all that yourself. 66% of the programs out there have installers that accept command line switches. The ones that don't you can write an AutoIt Script to recognize the install screens and click the right buttons .. and there are programs that will let you bundle it all up in a...
