8 Important Lessons Learned from ’80s Cartoons

We’d like to point out that we’re aware of the fact that some of the cartoons listed below did not originate in the ’80s. However, they were on during the ’80s, that’s when we watched them, so they’re ’80s cartoons to us. It’s like when we refer to bedwetting as “late ’90s behavior.” Without further adieu

Why India will overtake China

Cait Murphy, Fortune assistant managing editor has written a nice article about Why India will overtake China – despite recent growth, political oppression will keep the Asian tiger on a tight leash.

China has higher literacy and better infrastructure. It takes a month to start a business in China, and three in India. China has more savings, less debt and less poverty. Then how India is going to overtake china?

Author discusses matter with following two points:

  • Demonstrable success

If this is a race, India has already been lapped,” concluded the Economist in a survey of the two Asian giants.

How to install Windows Vista RC1 on a MacBook Pro

I found some good stuff/tutorials that explains how to install Windows Vista RC1 on a MacBook Pro.

From the article, “There’s been a lot of buzz about the Pre-RC1 build of Vista working with Boot Camp. I decided to give it a try, and it was pretty easy. You’ll want to perform a full backup before you try this!!!
First, run the BootCamp Assistant and delete your Windows installation. This will wipe out all your data, but will restore your Mac to a single partition. You only need to do this if you want to perform the next step.

I’m pretty sure Vista won’t run on a FAT32 file system, so you need some way to exchange files between Mac OS X and Windows. I think the best way to do this is to create a third partition. This post (read it all) has lots of details on this. On my MacBook with a 100GB drive, I used this command to shrink my Mac partition and create a 5GB partition for shared data and a 20GB partition for Vista…

Download: Windows Kernel Memory Space Analyzer tool

This is a free tool available from Microsoft.

The Kernel Memory Space Analyzer is a tool to help expert debugging engineers analyze Windows crash dump files.

From the site:
Debugging Windows system crashes can be a highly daunting task. A high level of expertise is generally required to properly classify and diagnose all but the simplest problems. Significant time can be expended simply getting to the point where the symptom of the problem is determined, let alone the point where the actual cause is understood. In addition, analysis procedures are often repetitive and prone to guesswork.

Kernel Memory Space Analyzer (Kanalyze) is a tool to help expert debugging engineers by performing heuristics analysis of kernel memory space. The Kanalyze identifies a broad range of kernel space data items in the crash dump by;

  • categorizing the data items into the data types for modeling purposes
  • locating the data items into the Kanalyze Type Namespace hierarchy
  • identifying and reporting anomalous conditions by validating the data items and the relationships among them?

Internet Explorer 7 released candidate now available for download.

According to IEBlog:
“The RC1 build includes improvements in performance, stability, security, and application compatibility. You may not notice many visible changes from the Beta 3 release; all we did was listen to your feedback, fix bugs that you reported, and make final adjustments to our CSS support. I do want to call attention to two changes in particular”

First, IE7 RC1 setup automatically detects and uninstalls previous IE7 betas before trying to install IE7 so you don’t have to. We’ll post more detail on the install/uninstall process very soon.
