I know it is little bit outdated, it’s been 2-3 weeks pass since Chromium OS was released. But only today I manage to squeeze some of my time going back to my workstation to read newsletters and testing some new stuff. Due to tight schedule, I even miss PC Fair III!
Remember Dell Mini 10v that I bought last month. Yeah, I finally think that I’ve made a smart purchase 
Why? Because.. Mini 10v is said capable (and compatible) of running other OS, including Mac OS X. But what I’m going to do soon is to run Chromium OS, (still in downloading progress) directly, without using virtual machines. Thanks to this fella who has created the image for Mini 10V.
I’m not sure how tough it would be, but I’ll post the progress soon after completion. Why am I doing this? Well, because it’s pity that the Mini 10 V just laying beside doing nothing productive
Btw, among other things that I did last week is enroll and taking ITIL certification, thanks God, it’s over now If you’re working on IT services related industry, you may want to take a look of what ITIL has for your career path.

Dell apparently has slashed the price of its Inspiron mini 10 netbook to MYR1699 from MYR1899 when it was first released to the local market. No worry, as the specs are remain exactly the same.
But personally, I think netbook should be priced below MYR1500 in order to look more tempting.
WWAN support and other ‘coming soon’ features are still nowhere to be seen. Head to this page to find out more.
