Caution! This is for Geeks only! Hide the Children!
I was holding off upgrading my laptop to IE9 and finally today the Windows Update made its way to me. I’m running an HP G60 and Windows Vista. So I apply the IE9 update and guess what?
Crash.
IE9 crashes immediately on startup. Here’s the message:

So you can imagine my frustration! So now I have to wrestle with it and there’s nothing I hate more than having to spend time fixing an update gone bad.
I tried a things that didn’t work, namely, setting my IE9 settings to system default. Still crash.
So here’s the fix for the ie9 appcrash on igdumdx32.dll
and I hope it works for you too: Go to control panel, Internet options. (normally you could do this within IE but since it crashes you can’t).
Then click on the Advanced tab, and under Accelerated Graphics, check the box next to “Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering”. In other words, turn off hardware acceleration.
You then should be able to run IE9 just fine. There’s probably an out-of-date graphics driver and I’ll have to fix that next, but for now, I wanted to publish my problem and my fix.
If this does NOT fix your IE9, please click on this link for other folks who can help you.

Netflix movies now on Android: I’ll never watch TV again.
/in Neat Tech & NewsI already watch more video on my Sprint EVO 4G than my big screen TV. Now that Netflix has arrived for Android it’s going to get even worse (better?). I just got through installing it. The video quality is great and it works like a charm. Holy Schmokes. I love it! The only reason why I will watch TV now will be as a family event. Otherwise, my EVO on the kickstand is my new video-watching device. That big screen is sure coming in handy.
Google’s netbook launches, IT Depts are either cheering or running scared
/in Neat Tech & NewsYou just got to love Google’s continued encroachment on sacred cows. First it was email, then office apps, and now it’s your IT department. Business customers with 10 or more users can get these “Chromebook” netbook PCs which essentially only run the Chrome browser, for $28/mo. Here’s the real killer: this includes technical (i.e. helpdesk) support. If I worked in an IT department, I’d figure out a way to become the Google Chromebook uberwizard because when these machines come into the company, I’d want to be getting a raise and not a pink slip

Google kicks Blockbuster in the teeth (and fires shot across Netflix bow) with online movie rental
/in Neat Tech & NewsWhen I bought my bluray player a few years ago I had the feeling this was the last time I was going to by a standalone media player and I’m right. YouTube has joined the fray and is now offering online movie rentals. The only reason why anyone with a broadband connection would go to Blockbuster instead of clicking and paying on YouTube would be because they can’t connect their PC to their TV. Of course all the new TV’s have NetFlix and YouTube built in. So its bye-bye blu ray and hello on-demand online video.

How to get high ranking on Google? Build a quality site. From the horse’s mouth:
/in Neat Tech & NewsPeople always ask me, “How do I show up high in Google Search Engine Results? And my answer is simple and consistent: Build a Good Web site. I suggest everyone read this article and go through their quality control checklist against their own sites. The moral of the story continues to be: don’t build a site to get high rankings; build a good site and the rankings will follow. This doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t tune your content to get high rankings on topics you care about. It does mean, however, that you shouldn’t try to play games or “scam around” to get your rankings unnaturally high.
The $25 web browsing PC that fits on a USB stick
/in Neat Tech & NewsThis has tremendous implications for getting basic computer power into everyone’s hands. This $25 PC is about the size of a USB stick, connects to a monitor (could be your HDTV) a keyboard and gives you basic web browsing functions. When you think that a TI-30 calculator cost $375 in the ’70s (adjusted for inflation), it gets pretty mind-boggling to think about how far we’ve come. (Political injection: behold the power of unregulated free markets!) If this technology gets mass produced, it will be a game-changer.
