Lifehacker.com Sunday, July 20, 2008 Why I Re-Install New Computers Normally when I get a new computer I wipe it and install a clean version of the OS. No manufacturer specifics - just an Operating System I understand and can fix easily. It's a common IT practice and I am really content in doing it.
My current laptop is a Lenovo R61. I decided to not wipe and install because I wanted to give the benefit of the doubt to the software. I kept on only a few Lenovo controlled items, the WiFi controller, the "Hard Drive Shock Protection" and a few other things.
Yes, it became problematic.
The first problem I had was with the sound. I made one small change and it stopped working. The "ThinkVantage" buttons wouldn't work, there was no sound from the computer and nothing I did in the sound properties could fix that. I ended up reinstalling the ThinkVantage software and got it to work again.
The WiFi controller became more problematic than not. I really liked the visual finder - it told me what I could connect to and how strong the signal was. However the Geeknewscentral.com Sunday, July 20, 2008 Patent Status of MPEG-1,H.261 and MPEG-2 Over 100 million DVD players have shipped in the US, and 100s of millions of mp3 players have shipped, yet linux distributions like Fedora, Ubuntu and Opensuse don't include software to create files that these devices can play. The reason is because implementations of the MPEG-2 and MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 (MP3) are considered patented so the Linux Distributors are avoiding a risk of patent infringement lawsuits. I went searching for answers to basic questions like what are all the patents claimed for MP3 and when do the claimed MPEG-2 patents expire and I did not find these on the web, so I decided to create this summary of the patent status of MPEG-1, H.261 and MPEG-2. I'm not a lawyer and I'm not an expert on video or audio compression so there are probably some mistakes in this, but its better than anything I've found on the internet. This article is US specific, but the patent databases listed usually have other countries patents listed as well.
