USB PS3 External Hard Drive Continued...  Some users are having issues with the standard command line fat32 format so i found an alternative wich worked perfectly for me on a 500gb Western Digital My Passport . Read the rest after the break.
You first need to download the program fat32format from the end of the post...

If the standard cmd line format didn't work don't worry, just download the fat32format utility. I placed mine in the root of my c:\\    drive.  Then click the "Start Orb" , select "run" and type "cmd" into the box. Once inside the command prompt follow these steps

To see the full size image scroll to the very bottom of the post
Full Size

1. type "cd c://" then hit "enter" on the keyboard
2. now type "fat32format ?:"      where ? is the letter assigned to your unpartitioned hard drive
3. when prompted to continue, all data will be erased, blah, blah, blah                 hit "y" on the keyboard
4. sit back it can take a little while to complete depending on the size of the hard drive & your system
5. now that it's done close the command prompt
6. use your "right-click" on the "safely remove hardware & eject media" icon that's located on the bottom right hand corner of your screen in the taskbar .
7. once the popup saying it's safe to remove your hardware appears you can disconnect your hard drive from the computer.

Hello World

This is my first attempt at actual programming for the Android & PS3 Platforms .  I have a lot of experience hacking the devices , rooting , unlocking , custom roms & firmwares so I will still cover some of this stuff as well .  I am going to start by creating a couple of themes for each platform & then move on to basic apps / games .  I will also try my hand at porting some software .  Stay tuned for updates & lots of Downloads .

Running Android on large touch screen displays

By
Forget Microsoft Surface, what do you think about having a 32-inch Android-powered touchscreen display in your living room? That possibility  might not be too far off , thanks to the engineers over at SKR Technology in Japan. Primarily a company that designs and builds digital signage, they were approached by several customers who wanted a large screen device that had multi-touch functionality similar to a smartphone. Since they frequently work with Windows, they tried building a solution around Windows 7, but it just didn’t function as smoothly as they would like. Instead they turned towards Android, but were disappointed to find out that none of their suppliers supported the OS. Instead of scrapping the project, they build their own interface that allows an Android-powered device to interact with multi-touch displays. As you can see in the video embedded below the display works quite well, mirroring everything on the Android device’s screen. While the product is not yet availabl...

We Just Started evaluating Norton Antivirus 200 with Antispyware here at the office & so far I have to say i'm pretty impressed.    It is lightweight compared to versions in the past, speedy, & pretty good dealing with false positives. I'll give you a better review later on. You can also pre-order any of the versions or downlaod the trial versions from www.electronicsgurutech.com/norton at around noon tomorrow.
