Windows blue screen even on virtual machines

if you thought that blue screens are only on regular windows boxes…. you are wrong!!! yesterday i just experience  a blue screen on my windows virtual machine (vm).  i am currently running ubuntu 10.04 and have windows xp pro on my virtual machine.  apparently the vm got stock on a process with a infinite loop.  isn’t that something…. only on the windows journey.

Virtual Machine Blue Screen of Death

Android vs iPhone

on a recent blog they show a really good graph which it was base on the current smartphone competition.  this included iphone and android phone for the different phone carriers.  i honestly think that android is a better phone, but it is not as popular as the iphone.  the market of the android has definitely increase, but we need to give the android more time to mature and have people more engage to a different phone [perhaps carrier].

Download AVG and install offline

the other day i was fixing a friend’s computer with no internet connectivity.  his internet was down but not really.  he has a windows pc which it has a virus…… the usual story.  i really couldn’t connect to the internet at all and he did not have any anti-virus.  (good figure :sight:).  so i went to a free anti-virus version (AVG), but i couldn’t figure out how to download the free version as an offline app.  after researching for a awhile i found my path :).

if you would like to install AVG not from the server (meaning offline installation; in other words not using internet connectivity for the installation) here is the path for the english version.
