I know the feeling of your secure network being compromised by an end user… Passwords do fall into the wrong hands and then what do you do? Scenarios start running through my head and I make a mental list of all the passwords and system configs that need to be changed. These aren’t fun times [...]

You know the saying, “You can’t have too much RAM or too much storage.”
Well, there is at least one case where a lot of RAM can cause problems.
My current desktop had 1 Gig of RAM and I recently bought an additional 2 Gigs since the price was so low. (And of course I used [...]

As avid Windows users you have seen how applications add right click menu options. For instance Mcafee antiVirus adds a shortcut to Scan For Threats in the selected folder or Resco’s options to encrypt or de-crypt a folder.
Now you want to add useful right click options for yourself and AtA is here to show you [...]

Everyone knows your friendly neighborhood admin is all about shortcut keys and uber productivity.
I don’t know how I never found this one before… Check it out you have your quick launch buttons displayed next to your start menu for easy access.
By default you have Show Desktop, IE and whatever other applications you installed. Now you [...]

We have used many different retail programs to recover accidentally or maliciously deleted files off of our PC, Digital Camera or Mobile device. We have tried a few free ones and they bring us back to the old saying… You get whatcha pay for! As such we never really covered the topic here on Ata, [...]

We have reviewed Crucial Memory in the past here when we gave away a 2gb memory module to one of our readers. So we were happy to plug them again when Jenny from San Fransisco wrote us asking:
Yo Admin can you tell me what kind of memory is in my PC without me having to [...]

Do you hate looking for and downloading drivers on every re-format?
Well if you can get to your desktop you should be able to run Double Driver and copy your drivers off your machine to a USB stick and then restore them right back into your fresh clean formatted system! We covered something a little while [...]

So are you wondering why you would want to save your searches?
Think about it… How would you like the ability to dynamically find the items you need with a saved search? So the boss called and said – I need all the purchase orders less than a months old and tagged Smith?
How about Power Point [...]

This morning we had a request for adding a “High Priority Folder”.
This would be a top level folder that shows up on your Windows desktop and in My Computer. Didn’t think you could do that? Well read on…
The folder we will be creating can not be removed – just like My Computer or My Documents. [...]
I had the pleasure of attempting to migrate a print server this weekend. I mean I had to figure out a quick and efficient way to install the 70 some odd printers on a new server. I was not going to be doing this manually that was for shit sure! I had some junior admins [...]
I just unboxed my brand new Dopod HTC aka HTC Cavalier S630 and after a few tweaks my demo was FLYING on HSDPA ATT’s Network. I did a quick post on the Dash’s big brother a while back and it still isn’t released in the US of A. Yup this baby came right from China right down to the Chinese interface. But thanks HTC for including English in your ROM!

I wonder if the 8525 has HSDPA. I ask because i have a feeling your phone is analogous to my 8525. HTC likes to do that. They tend to make the same phone and package it for different providers…

They are very different and this phone hasn’t been approved by the FCC in the states yet. i think that is the big hold up with the hsdpa. I have a 8525 here as well and it does not have the option to turn on the Big “H” from connections sub menu.
Maybe – Just Maybe it could be done with the HTC rom, but I wouldn’t hold my breath. What is the HTC model of that guy? Does it have quad band in the specs?
Don’t be jealous… ;)

I stand corrected… It does have a quad band and is capable of HSDPA but it is crippled by our good friends @ ATT see here:
Hmm… not so sure how I feel about all these delays in relation to HTC’s devices, but first, the positive side of things is that HTC Hermes will be “’HSDPA ready’, meaning that the hardware is already prepared for HSDPA” … now for the downside… “but the ability to use it will be accomplished only sometime later through a software update.”
I guess that’s a nice way of putting things, but basically our hope of immediate gratification has been kicked to the curb… I wonder which carrier will come out with the update first…oooh…and with what other possible features… oooh…
