Is this for real? Google is finally saying  something about Froyo update for Nexus One. Starting Monday June 28th, 2010 Google is rolling out Android 2.2, codenamed Froyo to Nexus One users.

I, am iPhone4-less, is si excited and repeatedly hitting the system updates on my Nexus One. Where is it Google?

From the announcement:

In order to access the update, you will receive a message on your phone’s notification bar. Just download the update, wait for it to install, and you should be all set. This update will be rolled out gradually to phones – and most users will receive the notification by the end of the week . We hope you enjoy these new features.

OK, I want my Froyo now……..

I received another Text Spam message on June 21st, 2010. Don’t bother calling (949) 439-5924 back, because it doesn’t take any phone calls. All you need to do is to file complaints to FCC because such unsolicited text messages violate CAN-SPAM Act. I inquired AT&T who is my service provider, but they are no help at all.

You should file form 1088G to report this violation. File a complaint on FCC site http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm

You can also call 1-888-CALL-FCC (1-888-2255-322) voice; 1-888-TELL-FCC (1-888-8355-322) TTY.

The text reads:

Wipe out 55% of credit card, and any unsecured debt. Must be 10K or more. 100% guarantee. To have representative call you, reply – YES

Text-Spam does violate the Communication Act of 1934.

June 24th, 2010

What a glorious day! We’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time. Well, while some of you were still recovering from waiting in line outside the Apple Store, I’m enjoying new episodes of Futurama! By the way, I cancelled my iPhone 4 order that I supposed to pick up on the 24th.

Two new Futurama episodes air on Comedy Central and I am complaining that they feel too short. I want more!

Anyway, the Premiere Episode of the new season picked up where it left off in “Into The Wild Green Yonder” movie.

Despite of my disapproval of Comedy Central’s handling of South Park episode 200 and 201, I am watching Futurama.

In the meantime, you can collect Futurama DVD’s:

What are you waiting for? You know where to watch Futurama!

Yet another NVIDIA GeForce card bites the dust. June 24, 2010

Posted by very in : Announcement, Media, News, Pictures, Resources, Tech, Troubleshooting , add a comment

This is the second EVGA NVIDIA GeForce 7600 graphics card I’ve seen having blown capacitors. Well, the mystery was solved a while back. Both cards had failing cooling fan; thus it overheated and goes kaput. This particular one actually is a little bit burned. Well, see it for yourself.

This card might be a 7600 GS model with FZ74 capacitors.

Anyway, it is apparent that the heatsink fan is not that good and prone to failure.

I’ll post more pictures later.
