Windows 7 (vienna) "superbar" and the launcher.

Submitted by joric on January 2, 2009 - 9:22pm

There is an issue with fancy "superbar" feature on windows 7.
I use Windows 7 build 7000 (beta 1).
Launcher and application showing as two buttons instead of one.

Is it possible to fix this in a future versions of launcher?

USB Stick with Master Password ?

Submitted by eke on December 30, 2008 - 6:23pm

Hi,

I have a 8GB Kingston USB Stick but: wth if i loose the stick, forget it inside the workplace or if it get's stolen? Everyone can see my very sensitive data!

So here is my question: Do you know a USB Stick that asks for a Master Password if I stick it inside a foreign Computer? I know there are existing these Sandisk U3 Sticks, what exactly do they do? Maybe sb knows other solutions.

Happy Ney Year!

How many times can I write on a USB Stick?

Submitted by eke on December 30, 2008 - 11:56am

Hi,

I read that it is possible to install Win XP on a USB Stick but the stick will be destroyed after a several boots because it only allows 100000 or 1000000 writing / reading sessions (?)
So here is my question: Does it make sense to install portable apps and use it as an portable office without destroying the stick and consequently loosing the files on it ?

ty and take care

[Fixed] Error in size bar

Submitted by Jacob Mastel on December 26, 2008 - 5:15pm

I recently bought a new flash drive. It's a SanDisk Cruzer 8gig. It works great I've always liked SanDisk but I have noticed one problem with it. For some odd reason the size bar at the bottom of the PAM says bleh out of 7gigs. I'm kinda wondering why my flash drive is showing up as 7gigs rather than 8. Probably just a minor bug to be fixed in next release probably.
