I recently upgrade a HP dc700 to Windows 7 Enterprise and next thing I know there was no audio. The speaker icon will show a X and the tool tip said “No Audio Output Device”. I did all the typical stuff (download drivers from HP, manufacturer, run troubleshooter, etc) and still have no audio. If this is you, don’t be alarmed. There may still be one thing left to do. I resolved this issue by accessing the BIOS by restating the computer and pressing F10. Locate On Board Devices and Enable On Board Audio. Yes, it was that simple. Let me know if it works for you.

So I finally got a good deal on the uDraw Nintendo Table for the Wii this Christmas. It came with a drawing game but I also got the Pictionary Game. Setting up the uDraw tablet was very simple. Just inserted the Wii remote in slop and plugged in to tablet and it was ready to go. The pen on the tablet took a bit to get used to. It seemed that every time the pen was lifted from the surface of the tablet the icon on the TV screen moved up. It was weird but it worked.

The Verdict

7Good

The Good: Easy uDraw Tablet setup | No extra batteries needed | Games were simple and easily explained

The Bad: Took a bit to get used to “drawing” on the tablet | Icon on screen kept moving up every time the pen was lifted from tablet

voteCalvin Coolidge, Thirtieth President of the United Statessaid, “If the people fail to vote, a government will be developed which is not their government… The whole system of American Government rests on the ballot box. Unless citizens perform their duties there, such a system of government is doomed to failure.”

Of the 52 million voter-eligible Evangelical Christians in America, 10 million were not registered to vote for the 2006 Election, and over 20 million who were registered, did not vote. Quite simply, less than 40 percent of all eligible to vote Evangelical Christians in America… voted.

Millions of evangelical Christians, out of apathy, ignorance, or indifference, choose not to vote in election after election. Our absence from the voting booth has contributed greatly to the moral, spiritual, economic, and political disintegration of America.

Dwight D. Eisenhower, 34th President of theUnited Statessaid, “The future of this republic is in the hands of the American voter.”

Franklin D. Roosevelt, 32nd President of theUnited Statessaid, “Let us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us. The ultimate rulers of our democracy are not a President and senators and congressman and government officials, but the voters of this country.”

Too often, Christians are being misled about participation of their churches in the elective process. While pastors and church elders are prohibited from endorsing candidates or parties on behalf of their congregations because of the tax-exempt status of the church, the Internal Revenue Service has specifically stated that “activities intended to encourage people to participate in the election process, such as voter registration and get-out-the-vote drives, would not be prohibited political campaign activity if conducted in a nonpartisan manner.”

“We Christians are commanded by Christ Himself to be ‘salt and light’ to the culture in which we live, and Voting is an important aspect of that duty,” writes David Crowe, the Founder and President of Restore America.

Sometimes size matters, and bigger telephoto lenses make photos of distant animals possible. Nikon’s 800mm f5.6 lens will doubtless have a big price tag, too.

Nikon will add an 800mm f5.6 supertelephoto to its product line, closing a competitive gap with its longtime rival Canon.

Nikon didn’t announce when the lens will ship or how much it will cost, but you can bet it’ll be expensive. Canon’s Canon EF 800mm f/5.6 L IS USM costs more than $13,000.

But for some photographers, notably those who shoot wildlife and especially bird images, supertelephoto lenses are worth the price. And now that videographers are buying SLRs, some new purse strings may be loosening.

Android Icon LogoGoogle’s Nexus tablet will offer Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, a 1280×800 IPS display, and other beefy specs, at least according to one source.

Google is expected to announce its Nexus tablet at its I/O conference later this week. But until then, the folks at Gizmodo Australia got their hands on an alleged training document that reveals key details about the device.

The 7-inch tablet will be the first to run the latest flavor of Android 4.1, aka Jelly Bean, according to the report. Manufactured by Asus, the tablet will be outfitted with a 1.3Ghz quad-core Tegra 3 processor, a GeForce 12-core graphics processor, and 1GB of RAM. The IPS (in-plane switching) display will offer a 178-degree viewing angle with a resolution of 1280×800 pixels.

The price tag? An 8GB model will cost $199, while the 16GB version will ring in at $249, according to Gizmodo Australia.

The tablet is slated to go on sale in July in Australia. No word on when it might reach other countries, but I’d expect an international launch to follow rather quickly.

The so-called Google Asus Nexus 7 tablet has popped up in the benchmarks from Rightview. According to info from its PowerBoard tool, the slate is using a quad-core Tegra 3 processor from Nvidia, running at 1.3GHz, along with an Nvidia ULP GeForce GPU that powers the 1,280×768 screen. It was running Android 4.1 JRN51B, a.k.a. Jelly Bean, unlike the Kindle Fire, which the Nexus will be priced to compete with if the $199 rumored price tag sticks.

Google might launch the Nexus 7 at its upcoming I/O conference starting on June 27.
