If you’re an owner of a warezified Windows 7 and want to check out Microsoft’s latest operating system but can’t find a way to activate it, then RemoveWAT is for you.

RemoveWAT, developed by Hazar and nononsence is a Windows 7 crack that completely removes Windows Activation Technologies from the system so that users can validate the illegal pirated copies of Windows 7 as genuine status (some reported as “Tampered Binary” in MGADiag due to patching), forever and permanently. RemoveWAT supports both 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x64) and all editions of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.

RemoveWAT, which has been refreshed to RemoveWAT v1.9, also stops sppsvc service and patches DLL files such as slwga.dll, sppcomapi.dll and systemcpl.dll, where the last one removes the whole Windows activation section from the Control Panel’s System Properties. RemoveWAT also support silent install with /s switch, and can be integrated to Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 installation DVD.

IceFrog Leaves Dota-Allstars.com

Yesterday, May 15 2009, I read on a circular bulletin released by Garena at Friendster.com that IceFrog has left Dota-Allstars.com. Shocked and somehow intrigued by this news, I decided to visit IceFrog’s Blog to see his official statements on this issue. Here’s what he said:

As a result of some differences, I am no longer affiliated with the dota-allstars.com website. I want to take this opportunity to wish everyone over there the best of luck in the future.

However, on another part of the same post, IceFrog confirmed that this does not mean that he will discontinue development of DotA. In fact, he stated that he plans to continue development for at least 2 more years.

On another part of his post, IceFrog said that he is planning to start a new community for DotA, this time under his administration. Because of this, he is looking for people who can help him in all ends of foruming, including technical support, programming, web development, and graphics design.

Could IceFrog leaving Dota-Allstars.com have a great impact on the community? Or could IceFrog’s new community benefit members much more than Dota-Allstars.com did? We hope we’ll hear from him soon.

32GB moviNAND Chips Coming Soon from SAMSUNG

While SAMSUNG is not the first major manufacturer to ship 32-gigabit (and gigabyte) chips, it definitely is the biggest… which means more space for your iPod is coming sooner than you probably anticipated.

Moreover, SAMSUNG has the rights to claim the title of being the first to manufacture 30-nm class chips (this bit of information is juicy for geeks like me, but normally just-the-ordinary-blah to other consumers).

So bottomline: since SAMSUNG makes more NAND chips than any other company, you can really expect to see one soon enough. With more and more double-slotted products (like the iPod Touch) out on the market, 64-GB flash-based portable players may just become the thing of today.

Windows 7 RC Downloads now available!

Posted by Francis Panganiban on May 5th, 2009

This is an update to an earlier post I made.

Microsoft has now opened the gates to Windows 7 RC downloads. According to Technologizer, the downloads have actually been dispatched earlier than expected (being released late night at May 4, while the expected release is at May 5).

With all the new download servers open, everyone is now allowed to grab a copy of the Windows 7 RC, even those without TechNET or MSDN subscriptions. Here are the steps:

  1. Proceed to the Windows 7 RC download page.
  2. Register and sign in with your Windows Live ID, and then fill in the registration form using your personal information.
  3. Verify your email address by following the link in the email sent by Microsoft.
  4. Proceed here to get your activation key and download link.
  5. Download the DVD Iso file, and then burn to a DVD disc using your favorite burning program (recommended program CDBurnerXP).
  6. Boot up the Windows 7 DVD disc, and then the setup wizard will guide you through the rest of the installation.

Be sure to check if your computer meets the following recommended requirements:

  • 1 GHz or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor
  • 1 GB RAM (32-bit) / 2 GB RAM (64-bit)
  • 16 GB available disk space (32-bit) / 20 GB (64-bit)
  • DirectX 9 graphics processor with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver

Some users have reported that they were able to make Windows 7 RC run smoothly on PC’s with only 512MB of ram and a 2.0 GHz processor. However, I have not yet tested this claim myself.

And that’s it. Enjoy your newly installed Windows 7.

Some notes:

  • According to the Windows 7 download page, the RC will only work until January 1st, 2010. By the first of March, 2010, the RC will automatically time your PC, and it will automatically force shutdown after 2 hours, unless you have installed an activated version of Windows 7.
  • You will need a working internet connection for RC updates, or else your OS might begin showing you annoying nag screens.
  • To burn the ISO, you will need a DVD-RW drive, and of course, a blank DVD-R disc. Standard CD-RW drives and discs won’t work.
