Let’s say you want an Eee PC but you want to have bluetooth built-in. You’re not really into bluetooth dongles, and you want to hack your Eee. EeeUser member wacou has posted a guide to take the 1005HA apart safely.
Using any kind of laptop means you’ll have to take care of it to keep it in a good condition, and this often extends beyond wiping it with a rag every now and then – in order to maintain your netbook in an optimal condition, there are various procedures you could apply, say, every month, to get the best results
For example, a common problem with these devices is the accumulation of dust – what’s worse is that it can build up on the inside as well. It may not be noticeable in the beginning, but if you notice your netbook overheating a lot more commonly than it used to, maybe it’s time to undo those screws and clean the dust from around the fan.
Never take out the fan itself though – damaging it could cost you dearly as it’s sometimes difficult to replace. Don’t even think about doing something like oiling it – this will never end well. Just blow all the dust from around it and close the netbook. The more experienced among you may find it a good idea to replace the thermal paste on the heatsink every now and then, but unless you really know what you’re doing don’t go for that.
Also, consider how you’re using the netbook as well – if its fan hole is on the bottom, never lay it flat on a soft surface, like your bed. This would suffocate it and prevent it from cooling properly, degrading the quality of its cooling in the long run.
Having a calling card with a good plan on it can be a great deal – and certainly one that holds many benefits for you, both in the short and in the long run. However, using a calling card has some degree of responsibility attached to it – careless use can lead to wasting a lot of money, and since your ultimate goal is to realize some savings through your calling card, this pretty much defeats the whole purpose. In short, just make sure you know what you’re shopping for.
The features on your calling card would vary quite a lot from one company to the other – free calling plans are commonly being used to attract customers, though don’t be so quick to jump on a card that has such a plan just based on that. In many cases it turns out that the company is charging you in other ways in order to prevent their services from costing them too much, and score some good profits.
However, free calling isn’t always a façade for a scam – it can actually be a viable deal, but you must definitely examine it first, in order to make sure it’s such. Take special notice of the payment schedule and the other features of the card – make no mistake in your choice. It also pays to consider the specific company you’re going to buy the card from – if they haven’t been on the market for long, be wary.
Since Eee PC 701s are already practically out of commission, the next best thing to do with these… classic netbooks would be to mod them into something else. Well, better than throwing them away, you can just mod your old Asus Eee PC 701 netbooks into a tablet computer. That’s right folks. The Eee PC 701 may have a minuscule screen, but apparently it works as a pretty decent tablet computer. And Windows XP looks pretty responsive as well.
Done by EeeUse Forum member mxjf, he shares his pretty awesome mod in this thread. According to mxjf:
The touchscreen is the $33 one from DX, and that IS electrical tape holding the thing together. I’m most likely going to sand/smooth the edges down and replace it with some black silicone sealant once I’m completely sure it’s good.
Check out the video below. the quality’s pretty bad, but you can see that Windows XP is pretty responsive and that the mod turned out pretty well:
Choosing a web hosting company is an important decision for your business. Not all web hosting companies are reliable. Therefore, when you decide to get a webhost, it’s important that you take few points under consideration, before you eventually choose one.
Web space offered: the first need for your website is the space which web hosting companies offer. Low web space may not be ideal for your website. Moreover, a website may sometimes expand and require more space in future. You must look at the web hosting company’s terms and conditions, and whether the company can add additional space for you in future, if you need them. If your website has a lot of video clips and graphics, then you should consider space requirement as vital.
FTP access: many web hosting companies do not offer the ability to expand your web pages. They only provide you with an opportunity to design your website, with the firm’s own website builder. Such web hosting firms may be good for greenhorns, but not for professional websites. Check if your webhosting company allows you to expand your business on your own terms or not.
Speed and security: The website hosting company you choose must proved hosting with reasonable speed and security. Lack of speed can be troublesome not just for you, but also for your online website visitors, who may leave your site and probably look for the other site. Likewise, web host should also make your site secure from outside intruding forces.

One of the worst things about netbooks is that the screen resolution’s too damn small. Okay I know that netbooks are made with portability in mind, and obviously there’s a much smaller amount of physical pixels you can fit in a 10 or 11-inch screen. The result? A cramped screen you have to squint at sometimes to look at properly. And other programs refuse to run on netbook resolutions as well, and that’s a hassle. More »
