Hystou Fanless intel Mini PC review and benchmarks (Intel Broadwell i3-5010U)

Hystou PCs is not really a brand most people are familiar with. They are an original equipment manufacturer and international distributor based in Shenzhen, China offering really good value-for-money barebone (no ram and disks) mini-PCs selling their products through Alibaba, Ebay and their website.

How to schedule less than daily (Weekly, monthly) Windows Server Backups in Task Scheduler

One of the frustrating things about Window server backup is the inflexibility and inability to specify a backup frequency other than daily backups and nothing less than once a day. Especially if you are coming from a Linux cron-job background, it simply just frustrates power users on the inability to even customise even basic backup frequency to your needs....

Disadvantages of 3D printing

Not sizable for large scale production Despite being a reliable manufacturing technique, 3D printing is only technically and economically feasible for high value, low volume parts (3D printing is cheap in comparison to the value of the parts produced), with increased diminishing returns for every additional production piece made. If production runs of over a ten thousand pieces a year,...

Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) on PC (x86)

The idea of Windows 8 running on ARM based tablets is unreal, but the idea of running Android on x86 based PCs is even cooler. Knowing the crazed Android platform developer and supporter I am, what's the least I can do than to get it running on my x86-based tablet PC? You can start off by grabbing the Android x86...

Windows 8 test drive on consumer preview build

When the Metro interface was first announced for Windows 8, I had the humorous impression of it being Windows Phone for PC. We've seen the Metro interface already being implemented on the Xbox and the Windows Phone platform, knowing Microsoft's enthusiasm on this rather unique interface, it will be only a matter of time before it finds it's way...

4th (4G) Generation iPhone to be annouced on June 22nd 2010

And so as told by the Wall Street Journal (WSJ). Soon after the news broke, we were informed that the next-generation iPhone would be announced on June 22nd (a Tuesday, naturally) and would be dubbed the iPhone HD (a name that has been tossed around before). That certainly makes sense given that Apple almost certainly has to up the...
