Slipstream Windows Vista with SP1 & Create a Bootable Vista SP1 DVD

This guide illustrates the various steps required to integrate Service Pack 1 files into Windows Vista installer via a process commonly known as slipstreaming.
Once the Vista SP1 slipstream pack is ready, you can burn those files to make a bootable Vista Service Pack 1 DVD.

Before we get started, here are four things you need to slipstream Windows Vista and Service Pack 1 files:


a. Windows Vista Installer DVD and Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Installer
b. vLite Installer
c. A blank DVD disc for writing the Vista SP1 files and few gigs of free hard disk space.

Now that you have all the ingredients ready, let’s get slipstreaming Vista SP1:

1. Insert the original Windows Vista DVD disk and start vLite (install the program if you haven’t done that already).

2. Browse for the folder that contains your Windows Vista files (i.e., your DVD Drive letter). vLite will now copy all the files to some local folder that is specified by you.

4. Once all the pre-SP1 Windows Vista files are copied to the local hard disk, specify the Windows Vista Edition that you want to slipstream. This step is necessary because installers for all Vista Editions are shipped in one DVD.

5. On the next screen, select the following tasks "Service Pack Slipstream" and "Bootable ISO" -> next -> select the location of standalone Windows Vista SP1 installer file.

6. vLite can take 60-90 minutes for integrating all the SP1 files into Vista Installer. Once this process is complete, change the mode to "Direct Burn", pop a blank DVD and Burn.

Your Windows Vista SP1 Bootable DVD will be ready in few minutes.

Sony Color Flexible OLED: worlds first 16.7 million bendy display


We have seen a few of these bendy displays over the last couple of weeks (weird none for a while then they all come out at once); this is Sony’s display that is a 160×120 pixel, 2.5-inch OLED flexible plastic film.

You got to love the idea of these flexible TFT’s as they could be used in so many ways and in hundreds of gadgets, but let’s not get too excited as we won’t likely see these on the market any time soon.

The colors are way more than on the flexible screens that LG Philips and Samsung were showing, in fact millions more colors at 16.7 million for the Sony OLED.

The Sony display is the world’s first 24-bit color depth flexible screen and the screen is just 0.3-mm thin which also beats Sony’s rivals.

Sony Ericsson W910i Black


The Sony Ericsson W910i Black and we say black because you can also get it in red, but it is the black version that is the top seller. The main feature that sticks out on this mobile phone is the shake function.

You just shake it one way to listen to music and shake it another for other functions. This is a great Walkman phone that cuts out the conventional keypad which has been replaced by the Shake control which lets you skip backwards or forwards through playlists by a flick of your wrist. You can shuffle your playlist by shaking the handset to select a random track… and you can even use the built-in motion sensors to ’steer’ the W910i from left to right when playing games.

The phone is very slim indeed which also features Sony Ericsson’s new SensMe technology to create playlists that match your mood, it also boasts a unique on-screen display helps you choose music based on tempo and style, not merely by looking at artists or albums.

Other features include Media Manager PC software that organises and copies your music, photos, video clips and podcasts, 2 megapixel camera, face-to-face video calls, high-speed 3G technology, quad-band international coverage and so much more. Check out the main specs below.

What would make an Xbox 360 owner move to Sony PS3?


With prices of the Xbox 360 and Sony PS3 being very close, currently the Playstation 3 is known to have the much better hardware but not the better choice of games.

What would make an Xbox 360 owner move to Sony PS3?

For thousands of people world-wide the answer was simply “RROD”, the hardware was so unreliable that many 360 owners went and brought a PS3 for better hardware and less games (in the hope for more in time).

Now the sides are even:
The Xbox 360’s hardware seems to be much more reliable now with hardly any reports of RROD, so it seems Microsoft have fixed this issue.

The Sony PS3 has not only won the High Definition movie war, but 2008 will see them increase the games collection massively, while it will still not be as good as the Xbox 360 in games collection, it will have more games than you have time to play.

The Xbox 360 has more gamers, so what would make an Xbox 360 owner move to Sony PS3?

Hands-on with Sony PS3 update v2.20



It’s official, we now have the new PS3 update v2.20 and it’s been downloaded and installed…what’s new you may ask?

Lets Tell You:
Sadly there is no “Portable Copy”, which is a shame as I really wanted the ability to easily copy a Blu-ray film to the PSP (a smaller version obviously).

The improved features from PS3 firmware 2.20 include the ability to play Divx content that is over 2GB and play Divx video subtitles, starting playback from where you stopped on Blu-ray or DVD now works (although some discs do not support Resume Play).

The biggest improvement is the new BD Profile 2.0 for the PS3, this means the PlayStation 3 features BD-Live and that lets you connect to the internet via special Blu-ray discs to get related content to that movie/disc (first two out next month).

While Portable Copy is not yet a feature, you can now copy playlists from the PS3 and the content they contain to your Playstation Portable.

Make Money As An Affiliate

There are various affiliate programs online that will pay you commission for selling their products. These are a great way to make money online if you know how to promote it. You'll first need a website and get some traffic to it as I discussed in my previous posts. Once you make your first sales, your profit will increase exponentially as your site becomes more popular.

A great way to promote products and build traffic at the same time is to start a review site. You just list the products and promote your site. Then the users buy the products and post reviews and basically run the site for you. You can actually make a living off of affiliate programs if you know what you're doing and advertise it effectively.

I have listed some popular affiliate programs below (search google for more info.):

ClickBan mostly sells digital products such as software or ebooks. ClickBank is a good site for starters because the sign up process is fast and doesn't require a lot of verification. You can get started right away.

Azoogle is another affiliate program which has many different things to sell. One disadvantage is that you need to get approved by a human editor before you can start selling and it could take a while depending on your application.

Amazon offers up to 8.5% commission on the sales you make for it. Amazon is a popular online store that sells all kinds of things and you can start your own store. You don't have to ship or anything, all you have to do is promote your store and you get commission for every sale. You can earn a lot of money here for selling things such as TVs or computers that can get you hundreds of dollars per sale if you are successful.

Commission Junction is a popular affiliate that gives you a percent of your sales. A variety of different items are available to promote at Commission Junction.

Maxbounty is an affiliate program for those who want to try to get commission from offers. The campaigns on the site are mainly sites that pay you when someone signs up for their service that you advertise.

Making money online (the easy way, which you're looking for!)

Are you looking for ways to make money online?
A relatively easy way, that anyone can accomplish?
Well, I have found one, it's called Bux.To!

Okay, cool, so what's it like?!
Bux.To is a site where you get approx 15 links to click every day
(or more if you have a so-called premium membership)

Each click is worth 0,01$, so how is this a serious way to make money?
Every day you will make 0,15$, if you upgrade for premium it will become $0.125 for each click.
With premium you get 30+ links per day, so you would get 0,50$ a day.

But that's just the basic concept, if you want to make LOTS, like at least 50$ a day, it's even EASIER.
All you need to do is buy so called 'refs', which are people like you who do clicking as well.
You get paid for every click they make, isn't that wonderful?
You invest a little bit of money, and get back 5 times that amount, it just may take a couple of weeks.
