Tablet PCs and Ultra Mobile PCs (UMPC) are the newest generation of mobile computers. Tablet PCs and UMPCs provide all the power of a standard Microsoft Windows-based notebook plus additional features that improve mobility including pen-input, light form-factors, and handwriting and speech recognition. These enhancements increase the number of ways people can use computers for practical and creative work, including blogging in ink.

Would someone be able to help me? I recently bought a VGA cable to connect my Toshiba Tablet M400 to a digital LCD tv. After changing around the display settings, the tv still only ever shows my desktop background. It doesn't show any animations/videos/mouse pointer. I'm sure there's just a box I'm not ticking, or some sort of setting I'm not applying on the tablet, but I can't work it out! Has anyone had any similar issues? Thanks for your help, G

A little more than a year after he sold his company Hotmail to
Bill Gates' Microsoft Corporation, 30-year old Sabeer Bhatia has said
goodbye to Gates to start yet another company. There's no firm idea for a company yet, Bhatia says. He will only reveal this much: Along with a few friends from Stanford University, where he earned a masters degree in electrical engineering, he is working on a plan for an e-commerce company. "There's a lot of potential and excitement in the e-commerce space," he says. "I've got a slew of raw ideas." The
raw idea he had for a free email company led to the foundation of
Hotmail over four years ago. But soon he would stun the industry by
selling his start-up company, one of the most visible success stories
in America, to Bill Gates. After
overseeing the merger of his company with Microsoft's online network
about a year ago, Bhatia became the new general manager of strategic
business development for MSN.com. Right now he has just a "small office in Fremont (in California) and a scratch pad." Not
that Bhatia is phoning up his friends or family for investment. At the
end of 1997, he sold his company for about $390 million in Microsoft
stock and kept more than $75 million of that. And since then Microsoft
stock more than doubled, his holdings are worth substantially more
today. Microsoft has sought to
minimise the impact of Bhatia's departure, claiming the parting was
amicable. "People go elsewhere and we hate to see that, but we try very
hard to keep people challenged and keep them here," says Tom Pilla, a
Microsoft spokesman. Read more.

Though my beloved UMPC's been back from repair about three months, now, I finally got around to reinstalling Vista about three days ago. Since I'd noted others with R2H's didn't have the on/off/on/off wireless issue with Vista Ultimate that I did with Vista Enterprise,I decided not to install Vista Enterprise. As I got the ball rolling, the first thing I noticed was that I could choose to upgrade XPTPCE. I never had that option for my three Enterprise installs! Common sense told me not to do it -- and I did it, anyway. For the first time in a year, I have the ability to use my R2H's built in wireless card in Vista. Unlike previous installs, the WiFi doesn't run away from Device Manager the instant I ask it to do it's chores, even when CPU usage spikes to 100%. Was it the SKU? Was it the 208 BIOS Asus installed for me? Was it the upgrade option? Will I ever know? I'll tell you one thing: I seriously have issues with the idea of using my sole Vista Ultimate license on a 900 MHz Celeron unit with integrated, unGlassable graphics. I may have to go back to the Enterprise Altercation. Technorati Tags: Vista, R2H, UMPC

So apparently, a port scan attack somehow managed to wipe out most of the posts from the previous year. What a shame. However, I managed to get my M400 woes pages back. There is an online database of the Internet. It's called the Way Back Machine . I used to be able to view my previous websites on this server, but opted instead to use their robots.txt control feature to remove my sites from the archive. There are probably other Internet archive sites that aren't so well publicized. And these ones may keep content on their servers for eternity. The web truly does live forever.

Those following my woes of the past week may remember that I'm having all sorts of problems with my new Tablet PC. Once thought to be the ultimate answer to the Consolidator is beginning to waste my time. I'm not even sure I can blame the computer itself. I think I bought this machine right in the armpit of last year's and next year's technology. Operating systems are being patched, applications are being upgraded, everything is fighting for the same DLL headspace and I'm stuck in the middle, wasting time while trying to get this machine to just work.
First, I want to thank Sherry at Wacom for responding to my web form plea for help. She and her Tablet PC tech read my blog entries and figure that my issue with the driver version 5.03-3 and the tablet stylus going dead after resuming from hibernate or standby are probably BIOS related, and that I should speak with Toshiba. If they feel the same, Wacom is more than happy to work with Toshiba to resolve this issue once and for all. That makes me feel better.
I need to contact Toshiba anyway: I understand that everywhere else in the world, M400 batteries made by Sony are being recalled and replaced. I ran the battery checker I downloaded from New Zealand, and it said I qualify. Sadly, there isn't an equivalent utility, nor reference to the problem, on Toshiba Canada's website. Hence I will be calling. But I digress.
I figured out that if my power saver settings are programmed to standby at XX time, and then hibernate at XY time, the following will happen. First, the machine will enter standby at XX time as planned. Second, the machine will wake up at XY time, and then enter hibernation. I've read that with more than 1GB RAM (I have 2GB), hibernation has some issues of its own under XP SP2. So the machine doesn't successfully enter hibernation. But not always.
Last night, I had my machine hooked up to my docking station and set the power profile to standby in 1 minute, and hibernate in 2 minutes. The machine entered standby with no problem. It later woke up and entered hibernate with no problem. I went to bed. This morning I turned the machine on, slid my thumb across the fingerprint reader to access the hard drive, BIOS, and XP operating system, and halfway through resuming from hibernate the screen went black and the system stopped working, only the machine was still running at full power. After shutting it down and restarting it, the system gave me the option to delete restoration data, but I was stubborn. I wanted it to resume from hibernation. Same problem. Then I gave up.
This blog doesn't seem to generate as much traffic as I remembered when I first set it up this year. Where did everybody go? Originally published 05-18-2007, 10:48 PM
