Luke 現在只有手掌大
今天網路上閒晃的時候，突然發現了一個敗家的好對象：Luke。 不是最近電影院裡的那個Luke唷，是VIA的Luke。在這個只有手掌一般大小的主機板裡，裝滿了最屌傲的全部PC部件。 看樣子，PC mini也只不過是舉手之勞罷了。 把CPU做进北桥！威盛Luke开创X86平台新纪元::小熊在线-CPU内存频道

N50 open up!
The N50 journey have new steps. Because I can't get BOM sheet from our hardware resource. So I am forced to find out this information by myself. So I open this small device. To open it up is quite easy, only few steps you can do it: * First, you need to "screw up" the four screws on it's back. * Remove the silver case. * Remove the two small screws in the bottom of mainboard. * Flip over the board and be careful to the wire between mainboard and LCD panel. Done! Now you can fill the table by your raw eyes!
Planex(PCi/Geowave) NS54GM 無線網路卡在Ubuntu(一種Debian) Warty上如何驅動？
星期六(5/7)的Moto聚會中，很幸運的，Jserv的一個問題沒有人回答的出來： Q: 請問Mozilla.org的創立時間是？ 這其實並不難找。按照習慣直接去google找的人，就搞錯方向了。這題的解題方法是： 1. 連上 www.mozilla.org 2. 點選右上角的About 3. 點選本業最下方的 Mozilla Foundation page 4. 答案就出來了： About the Mozilla Foundation Established in July, 2003 , with start-up support from America Online's Netscape division, the Mozilla Foundation exists to provide organizational, legal, and financial support for the Mozilla open-source software project. The Foundation has been incorporated as a California not-for-profit corporation to ensure that the Mozilla project continues to exist beyond the participation of individual volunteers, to enable contributions of intellectual property and funds and to provide a vehicle for limiting legal exposure while participating in open-source software projects. 這跟標題有何關聯呢？ 沒有拿到這張無線網卡，當然就不會有這篇文章的出現。所以啦，還是要說說故事。 這張卡拿回家以後，當然第一件事就是上jserv的網站找找該怎麼驅動，在這裡有兩篇文章談到： Jserv's blog: Planex GW-NS54GM 無線網路卡驅動攻略 Jserv's blog: Planex GW-NS54GM 無線網路卡驅動攻略 (2) 好，按照Link ins
帶在手上的Palm PDA - Fossil FX2008
這應該是世界上第一家鐘錶公司製作的，採用PalmOS 4.1的手錶吧！ 看到 Palmgear 上居然有軟體是給手錶PDA用的，我心中一驚，開始求拜google大神是否有相關訊息。 結果給我找到了這篇專訪： Amazon.com: Exclusive Amazon Interview: Fossil Wrist PDA with Palm OS - Metal 這小玩意可不得了，首先我們先看看規格： 8 MB Memory Operating System: Palm OS 4.1 Motorola Dragonball Super VZ 66MHz Processor Display: 160 x 160 pixels, 16 level grayscale, EL backlight, Touch Screen Built-in Applications: Address Book, Date Book, To Do List, Memo Pad, Calculator, Time 依據上面那篇Amazon的獨家專訪，他們找到了一個非常、非常省電的高解析度小螢幕。如此一來，這隻手錶就可以每分鐘更新一次，就像是一般的手錶一樣。 這隻手錶真的是一隻手錶，很小，很輕薄。 接下來，PDA的功能如何呢？ 除了圖面上可以看到的以外，電池的電量大致是3~4天(每天使用30分鐘PDA功能的話) 嗯，看起來手錶需要3~4天充一次電很誇張？你大概沒有用過機械表... 我手上帶的這隻，只要一個週末靜置就會停止不動。 相信我，3~4天才充電一次算是很好的了！ 從 Amazon 上的報價是 USD 249.99，以現在的匯率來算，差不多是台幣7,500。心動了嗎？趕快去訂一隻，然後借我玩。 XD
