I like my HP DM3 laptop, or to be more specific, the HP Pavilion dm3-3012nr. It's run well for me the past 1 1/2 years I've had it, but one thing I could not figure out was where the heck was the BREAK key. For those instances where I have to hit CONTROL-BREAK, and most recently, when I have to hit CTRL-ALT-BREAK in a Windows Remote Desktop session to re-maximize the screen. That's an annoying issue BTW where remote desktop from my DM3 running Windows 7 does NOT remember to do a full screen. Every time I disconnect, it gets reset to 1366x768, and often times in the middle of a session it would reset to non-full screen with scroll-bars. Grrrr! But CONTROL-ALT-BREAK will re-maximize it. Problem was, I did not know where in the world the BREAK key is located on the DM3. Typically it would be one of the function keys on a laptop, for instance F12 + the function key. But no- on the DM3 F12 turns off the Wi-Fi radio. I scoured the internet and looked in the manual for the DM3, but no go.
Today- however- I stumbled upon how to get the key to work. The Break key is often times the same key as the "Pause", and low and behold, there is a "Pause" key on the HP DM3. It is located on the right SHIFT key below the right ENTER key. So holding the "fn" key + the right "shift" key will provide the "break". Finally I can do a CTRL-ALT-BREAK on the DM3!
BTW I also found a decent-working solution for the problematic trackpad/touchpad on the DM3. It's annoying when I type and accidentally activate the touchpad and the cursor jumps/moves and I start typing where I don't want. Download the free utility called "TouchFreeze" (search for it on Bing or Google) and you will find that it makes a notable difference for those of you with a DM3 or another laptop with the sensitive touchpad issue while typing.

I was missing some emails that I should have been getting, so I wanted to find out what the heck was going on. I use Thunderbird and download my Gmail account email via POP3. I had the missing email problem before and the solution was to check the spam folder online at Mail.Google.com. So I did that, and low and behold, the emails were there. But these were emails that were important in terms of receipt in a timely manner, so I was not too happy about it. I wanted to find a way to download also the Gmail SPAM folder via POP3 to Thunderbird. In Yahoo Mail I can easily do this with the tick of a checkbox, but looking all over the Gmail settings I couldn't find anything. I looked around online and it seemed this is only possible if you use IMAP with Gmail. I don't want to use IMAP in this case because I'm using the global inbox in Thunderbird, and I don't want to manually click on the spam folder here and there to check. I might as well go to Gmail on the web to do that.
Then I found this tip by Aaron Kelly on how to disable the Gmail SPAM filter. Works perfectly. I've added a pair of screen shots below to help you accomplish this. Basically all emails will be told to "Never send it to Spam". I'm happy with the spam filtering in Thunderbird, which I have more control over and have trained to my liking.
Step 1: Setting up the filter condition (from = *)
Step 2: Setting up the filter action

Lately I've been having some trouble with my Ceton InfiniTV 4 tuning channels that require the tuning adapter to display- for instance the Tennis Channel and NBA TV. Windows Media Center would show "No TV Signal" on these channels. But rebooting my PC (running Windows 7 Professional x64) always fixes this problem. It's an annoyance because sometimes I'm in the middle of a large download or am working on a project and don't want to reboot the computer. So I decided to do some troubleshooting.
First I tried unplugging the tuning adapter (mine is a Cisco STA1520). It wasn't blinking in the first place which meant it should be working fine, but I wondered if that would help anyways. It didn't- after going through it's booting and authorization blinking process and becoming a solid green again, I still could not access the TA-only channels.
I then tried unplugging and re-plugging the USB, and making sure that under "Device Manager", the tuning adapter is there. It is- see screen shot:
But that still didn't change anything. Going to the tuning resolver webpage at:
192.168.200.1/Services/7/TuningResolver.html
Still showed that:
TR Status: Disabled
I started to get the idea that the TA is working fine, and the connection to the computer is working fine as Windows sees it perfectly. It has to be something with the Ceton drivers/service.
I browsed over to Services, and noticed two Ceton system services- one called "Centon InfiniTV Service" and a second called "Ceton Tuning Adapter Host Service". See screen shot:
I restarted the former, then went over to the tuning resolver web page- still showed TR disabled. But after restarting the Ceton Tuning Adapter Host Service, TR Status almost immediately became "Ready". And the typical working Tuning Adapter diagnostic page showed the following:
The channels no longer show "No TV Signal" and work perfectly now without a reboot. I have a suspicion that this problem started upon plugging a USB device to my computer, and then unplugging. In my case it was an Android phone (Motorola Triumph). That may have somehow disrupted the USB connection between the Tuning Adapter and the PC, and the Ceton Tuning Adapter Service never bothered to retry to establish a connection to it. Hopefully Ceton can address the issue with a more permanent fix for such a problem with a future driver/firmware update.

 If you bought a Kindle Keyboard 3G (aka Kindle 3) recently you may be looking for a case. Personally I had bought one from Best Buy recently- I thought it was a good value for less than $100 w/ 3G full internet access to boot (albeit in black & white). Being very thin the Kindle Keyboard definitely needs some sort of protection. Looking around, a new one with light from Amazon costs a somewhat eyebrow-raising price of $50. But right now Amazon Warehouse is selling one for just $21.99. It's "Used - Very Good" condition, but if my past experience with buying from AW holds true, it should be in excellent shape. Free 2 day shipping if you have Amazon Prime, otherwise you will need to add $3 of items to get their super-slow (er I mean Super-Saver) shipping.
BTW for 50 cents more, you can get the "Like New" cover, which is what I ended up doing.

 I was curious what the difference is between the Logitech Harmony 300i remote I have and the new Logitech Harmony 200 I just noticed. The Harmony 200 is shorter and does not have as many buttons. Doing a comparison at Logitech.com revealed the differences. The 300i supports 4 devices while the 200 can only do 3. The only other important difference is the Harmony 200 lacks programmable buttons. On my 300i there are a group of useful buttons below the 4 main device selection buttons towards the top and personally I've assigned functionalities such as jump to HDMI 1, Component 1, and tune to some favorite channels. So given the choice between the 300i and the 200, the former is a better choice, especially since they have the same retail price of $29.99.
Amazon.com, BTW, has a a hot promotion on the Harmony One for $139.99 plus you get a free Harmony 200. The deal lasts until 11-26-2011.
Here is a chart comparing the two universal remotes:

So it's Saturday night and I looked forward to watching some USC Football. They are playing a huge game vs the Oregon Ducks on the road. Unfortunately because I'm not living at the West coast, the USC game is not on ABC- instead the Oklahoma vs Baylor game was being shown. The USC game, however, is on ESPN 3, which is an online streaming channel over at http://espn.go.com/watchespn/index. It's also known as "Watch ESPN". I try to watch and get the error message:
"We are unable to match your SubscriberID with a current TWC Customer. Please try loggin in again and if you believe this message is in error, please contact us at www.timewarnercable.com/contact (Message: FQHBR07176)"
Screenshot:
Okay- that sucks- I am a subscriber of Time Warner cable, so why can't I watch? So I logged into my ESPN account and tried to watch again (I'm using my default web browser of Firefox, BTW). Still no go- same error message. I went to TimeWarnerCable.com and logged in. Then went back to try and watch- same thing. Tried signing out of ESPN, logging into the Time Warner website, then tried to watch- same problem. I then tried Google Chrome- exact same "We are unable to match your SubscriberID" message. Tried IE9- the video won't even load.
I figured this was some sort of cookie problem since I had it working before in the past. Problem is I don't want to clear all my cookies. So in Firefox, I went to Options, then clicked the Privacy icon, and clicked the link "remove individual cookies".
The cookies window popped up and I typed "espn" into the search box. I did a SHIFT select to select all the cookies that matched the search and clicked "Remove Cookies". But that did not work. Then I went and searched for "go.com" and removed all those cookies. And that did the trick.
See screen shot here:
When I tried to watch it asked med which cable provider I'm using and I picked Time Warner Cable. I was then redirected to a login page at TimeWarnerCable.com. I logged in, and voila- I was able to watch no problem now.
Too bad I couldn't control ESPN3 like a DVR because I had missed parts of the game trying to make it work. But hopefully this will help those of you pulling your hair out trying to watch your game online at ESPN!

 There has been much published studies regarding the negative effects of BPA (Bisphenol A) that I wanted to avoid using plastics that contain it, especially food and water containers. The current Brita water pitchers I use does not say it is BPA free, so I must presume it is made of polycarbonate plastic which does have BPA. I try to help avoid BPA leakage/leeching into the water by keeping the filtration pitcher away from direct sunlight and heat. But in the end I thought maybe there are some BPA-free water filtration pitchers out there for more peace of mind.
One solution I found was the Homedics Restore (RWS-100) water pitcher purchased from Sellout.Woot.com. It is BPA free. In addition to filtering water it also can purify it via a built-in UV lamp. After using it for a couple of weeks, I found myself having used the UV feature only twice. There is a manual switch on the handle of the pitcher which needs to be in the correct position in order for water to pass through from the top reservoir. On time it took me literally half an hour to figure out why the water was going down- apparently I had accidentally toggled the switch. But overall I am pleased with the purchase. It certainly does not look like a cheap water pitcher like the $6 slim Brita pitcher I had also purchased recently.
The other BPA-free solution I've found is the Mavea Elemaris XL Water Filter Pitcher. It has a slightly larger capacity than the Homedics RWS-100 (9 cups vs 8 cups), but is a little more expensive. It doesn't have the UV germ-killing lamp, but does have a digital meter that helps you track the water hardness and the amount of water used. It also seems more ergonomic with how you do not need to remove the top lid to fill fill. Also the Mavea filter deters bacteria via the use of silver. A 3 pack of the Mavea Maxtra filters is slightly more expensive than the 3 pack of the Homedics Restore filters (after subscribe-and-save).
Personally I look forward for some company to make a stainless-steel or glass water filter pitcher. Though the Homedics Restore and the Mavea Elemaris pitchers do not have BPA, they are still made of plastic and who knows what other plastic-derived compounds can leach into water that could potentially be harmful. But for now these two are some of the better solutions out there for those of us looking to steer away from BPA.

 Amazon.com is offering the black Xbox 360 4GB with Kinect for only $199.99 after Amazon $100 promo credit which will be emailed to you 2 days after your order ships. This particular Xbox has built-in 802.11n wireless networking, includes a single black Xbox controller, and of course the Kinect camera and the Kinect Adventures game. This is a very nice deal considering the Kinect itself is going for $160 at Amazon and the 4GB Xbox 360 console is selling for $197.99. So you're pretty much getting the Kinect for free, or $162 off discount. Be sure that Amazon.com is the seller and not a 3rd party vendor or else you won't get the $100 gift card. On your order preview page, if you did everything correctly, a message will appear near the top telling you that you have qualified for the promotion. This is a worthy 2011 Black Friday-esque deal indeed, just several weeks early.
Hurry because this promotion can be cancelled at any time:
