Password reset of a Sylvania Netbook
A woman was unable to use her Sylvania Netbook SYNET7WID because she did not know the password needed for the login screen…
I was unable to find any information how to do so that worked for me. But, I did find how to perform a “SYLVANIA SmartBook Operating System Update” for the SYNET07526 “Wireless Netbook: Wireless Mobile Media Device”. After performing the procedure, I was able to use the device. (I assume that all personal file the owner had were erased: I did not find any.)
Be sure to “Unzip the SYNET_NEW_SHELL_IMAGE.zip (65MB) file to the root of an SD card”: the “folder called ‘script'” MUST be “in the root directory of the SD card”.

I had no idea that Windows CE was currently in use! If I had seen one of these available at a local store, I may have considered purchasing it over a netbook running Windows: most netbooks are priced over $200. I’ve been trying to find an “affordable” (“cheap” or “free”, really) replacement for my Palm TX and LifeDrive.
One of those Ideas that will Raise some Eyebrows?
I am sure this has to be one of those ideas that has come along that will raise some eyebrows and cause a few groups to come forward and lay claims of the objectifying of Women for having scantilly clad (Usually means wearing anything from a two piece to a fig leaf but in this case, bikinis) women giving us DIY people a chance watch and learn.
http://www.eyehandy is a site that has launched with Videos featuring Models or maybe experts in their field giving viewers a hands off demo of how to do everything from regripping golf clubs to how to replace a kitchen faucet. While at first glance it could easily be assumed this site would be geared at Males but could the braintrust behind this also have the idea some women may watch and pick up tips from somebody who will explain the process in easy to understand terms.
This is probably one of those ideas some may wonder why they didn’t think of it first but the idea has existed in advertising for years. Do you really think those Victoria Secrets Ads are for Women to pick out the finest in Silk undergarments? The music in the Videos and pacing reminds me of those workout videos from the late 70’s early 80’s which I am not sure had men or even women working out alongside. If advertisers jump on board with products featured to help these experts create or build, could it be product placement at its finest?
The founder of EyeHandy is 26 year old Alex Merrimen who lives out in Las Vegas and with Mukundh Pandian create the content and manage the site. Merriman in the About Us on the Company Website stated that he wanted to creat videos with a “more informative teaching approach”
Whether informative or good clean fun, the site is sure to not only have some traffic over the next few weeks to view the current 15 videos in rotation. I myself am waiting for the How to Sew a Button Video, that is something I truly need to learn. For more information, Check out http://www.eyehandy.com
Online? Bring Back the Drive In’s!
Tucson was a bit Nostalgic on Saturday Night as a strong turnout from the Community showed up to support efforts by the Cactus Drive in Theater Foundation to bring back a Drive In Theater to the area.
The last drive in theater, The DeAnza Drive in closed in October of 2009 after almost 10 yeasrs of speculating of closures but it held fast to the fact that arizonans enjoyed the night air and watching a movie from their vehicles. Land, a valuable commodity, won and the theater closed down.
The Cactus Drive In Theater hopes to bring that tradition back and promises more fund raising efforts like the one Saturday which showed Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, a homage to the Deanza which showed the same film on its closing night.
You can log onto www.cactusdriveintheater.com for more information, or to donate to the foundation which hopes to purchase a parcel of land for a permanent drive in theater.
