So, you got the EEE 701 netbook real cheap. Now, this article is for the people who’ve installed windows XP on their device and want to make the overall experience with their EEE better.

Resolution:

EEE 701 users will find the WVGA resolution(800 x  480)  a bit challenge to work with when using some of their standard applications. Fortunately, there are solutions to most of the problems.

1) Astray+: The more I say about this application, the less it would be. This application is just plain fantastic! It lets you change between different resolutions in a breeze. It lets you increase the resolution to 1000 x 600 and even 1024 x 768! This lets you use some of the applications which looked impossible to be used on EEE due to its resolution constraints.

VERTU'S concept phone

Vertu is one luxury phone maker that’s not afraid to take risks, as evidenced by such creations as its $310,000 “Signature Cobra” handset. But with competition in that space growing all the time, real or fake, it behooves the company to stay on the cutting edge.

So the designer Christopher Tak Cheung Yue has proposed a phone that takes some new angles–seven of them, to be exact. The seven-sided “Vertu Suave” concept is designed base on the modern definition of time as luxury. The sophisticated balance of angular and organic shape offers a comfort of interacting with this personal device adapting the rich life style of a modern female. The material uses precious metal yellow gold or pink gold as front, titanium rim and variation of fashionable sheep skin leather as back. It is a true luxury statement of elegant and confidence.

Nearly 7 million searches for Apple iPhone in a single month. That’s the surprising statistic to emerge from comScore, a company that specializes in measuring the digital world.

comScore has today released the results of a study into iPhone related searches. Conducted during the month of April and covering just the US market, it reveals that there were 6.9 million searches on related keywords during that period.

The full list of popular iPhone search terms is:

1. IPHONE (1,488,000)
2. IPHONE UPDATE (151,000)
3. IPHONE WEB APPS (118,000)

8. IPHONE G3 (43,000)

10. IPHONE SPEAKERS (35,000)

“Speculation had been rampant in recent months that Apple CEO Steve Jobs was getting ready to introduce a 3G iPhone at Apple’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference on June 9, and indeed he did just that,” said Dan Lackner, comScore Senior VP. “Search is frequently a harbinger of purchase intent. The increase in volume of iPhone searches demonstrates just how heavy that interest has been for the next generation of Apple’s popular phone – even when its existence was still just a rumor.”

Installing VS.net on a EEE

I know there are a lot of programmers out there who have their eye on the little EEE as a little programming machine. It is a wide-known fact that it has a great keyboard. Infact, I do most of my blog enteries here via it and my fingers are absolutely fine!

In this post, I’ll explain how to install VS.net on a EEE 701. I’ll be using the 2003 version as that should be “ok” for the amount of processing our little EEE can do.

Please note that all the screeshots given below link to the original images.

As you can see, as soon as you run the setup.exe, you get a warning telling you that VS.net is meant to be run at a resolution of 800 x 600. Pressing ok will continue the resolution, but, you won’t be able to continue ahead. Why? That you’ll see very soon.
