HD PC from ALDI Sensation! Or not?

Once again it is by ALDI during the festive season a PC with a number of multimedia functions.

Sun is the first discounter Aldi in Germany have a PC with HD-DVD and BluRay disc player. In addition, the device is fully suitable for connection to other devices as a TFT or CRT, as well as HDMI Scart connections are available.

But how the PC is really suitable for the new media?

According to Heisenberg himself does not only Windows Media interface of Windows Vista hard time with the integrated TV tuner card, but also the pre-installed software "TV Central" is not stable.

At the most violent is probably that the preinstalled version of Power DVD region code not correct reads from the drive, but here indicates that this is America and no longer can change.

Conclusion: No German HD-DVD using PowerDVD or Bluerays.

An update could fix the error, but looks like a multimedia PC?

Answer the question today probably have a few thousand buyers of PCs with a "clear yes." I stay as comfortable with-yourself.

Firefox and insecure passwords

In a building with many public PCs already like to forget to logout a user from the system.

This was yesterday at my school the case. Of course there is anything about Linux and you can not do much with a logged in user other than a little annoying because sometimes here and sometimes annoying.

Well as the Firefox of the standard equipment of each PC is here, and of course you also have access to the stored data. Who, of course, never quit and stores its data in any erases fear has no place here.

Our sacrifice, however, has saved everything nice and we are now to accounts at GMX, eBay and various online games richer.
So let's think about it. Use in public networks never the comfort of some memory functions!

Your Body-Snatch.

PS: The person concerned was of course already called attention to his mistake and has learned something.

PPS: she was still not happy. ;-)
