Windows Phone 7 Update 7.0.7392.0 has been released for Singtel customer using Samsung Omnia 7. This update is nothing more than fixing the problematic certificates.

Fix for fraudulent third-party digital certificates. This update includes a critical fix to an industry-wide issue with nine untrusted digital certificates that were issued by one root certificate authority. These third-party digital certificates are used to access popular websites and email portals. Although this is not a Microsoft security vulnerability, these untrusted certificates may be used to spoof content, perform phishing attacks, or perform man-in-the-middle attacks against all web browser users. This update moves the affected certificates to the “Untrusted Publishers” certificate store on Windows Phone, which helps ensure that these fraudulent certificates are not inadvertently used. For more info, see Microsoft Security Advisory (2524375).

Same Windows Phone 7 March update, to install this update simply connect your phone to your computer, launch Zune and access the update page via Settings > Phone > Update. Unfortunately for this update, Omnia 7 users might be in for a surprise.

While I was performing the update, the phone rebooted as part of the process and got stuck at Step 6 of 10. The phone was showing the Omnia 7 logo and refused to load. Disconnecting the phone from the computer and holding on to the power button did nothing. Luckily, I was able to get the phone working by removing and reinserting the battery. WP7 loaded successfully and the build was still 7.0.7390.0.

After researching around, it appears that it is a known problem and that a Samsung update is needed to be applied to the phone before performing WP7 update. Now this is quite surprising as all the time I was expecting all updates to be done via Zune. But anyway, after installing the Omnia 7 device update, WP7 was updated successfully to build 7.0.7392.0.

To install Omnia 7 device update, simply follow the steps here.

The first real WP7 update that got delayed multiple times has finally been pushed out to WP7 users. To update, simply plug your WP7 phone to your computer and launch Zune. Zune will then prompt you with an update notification. The update will will take aprox. 20min.

Despite numerous issue with the earlier WP7 update, especially on Samsung phone, my Samsung Omnia 7 has gotten through both safely including this NoDo update.

Windows 7 SP1 RC is now available for download. But before you start rushing to get it installed, you might want to have a look for the following.

• Installing Windows 7 SP1 RC will put your Windows into Evaluation mode and will expire on 30th Nov 2011.
• A watermark which says Evaluation Copy will be added to the bottom right of the screen.
• SP1 Beta needs to be removed before installing SP1 RC. Read here on how to uninstall SP1 Beta.
• The service pack does not contain feature or GUI changes for Windows 7. It is a cumulative of all updates and hotfixes for Windows 7 & Windows Server 2008 R2. It does however include two new feature for the server edition, Dynamic Memory and RemoteFX. For more details, please refer to here.

Ok. I am tired of google’ing or should I say bing’ing for the fix. I shall add it here for my convenience or maybe those who stumble upon this post.

1. Edit wp-config.php located on the root directory of WordPress installation.
2. Add // at the beginning of the following two lines
   define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);
   define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);

原本抽籤抽到了SCANDAL的簽名海報，但很幸運的跟某人換了個JAM Project的海報。呵呵呵呵呵。。

I got to know bout these remix when I attended Cosfest VIII a few weeks back. And since then, I had been searching for all the Exit Trance Anime Songs albums. For those who want to know more, you can find them here. Many of the songs are real nice in remix, but some just sounded weird and worst, off the beat. Just a point to note, these remixes are not sung by the original artists.

It’s a pretty piece of toy from Sony. But as a typical Sony product, cheap is always not in the picture. The Vaio W cost at least US$499.99 in the US, in comparison, netbooks of other brands with similar specs goes around US$400-US$450, not sure how much will it cost when its on Singapore shore though. So on serious thoughts, I might just be happy getting an Asus 1008HA.

The Vaio W has almost the same specs as other netbooks as other brands, an Intel Atom N270 processor, 10.1″ LCD, 160GB HDD, 1GB DDR SDRAM, Windows XP Home. The only notable is most likely the 10.1″ screen infact comes with a resolution of 1368×768, something you seldom find on a 10.1″ netbook.

Silverlight 3 is now official. Intended to be a direct competitor of Adobe Flash (or Flash killer), Silverlight til date has yet to command the majority market share, putting aside killing Flash.

With the new HTML5 in the horizon, i wonder what is to become of Flash and Silverlight.

Office 2010 The Movie

No. your eye’s aren’t playing trick on you. With the intention of having a share in the multi-billion dollar movie industry, Microsoft has created a new film based on Office 2010, possibly the blockbuster movie for the season (maybe not).
