Hands on with Sony's would-be UMPC killer, the UX180P {Engadget}
Jul 8th 2006 8:57AM I have the UX50 (the Japanese version with a slower processor) and I ran into the same hanging on shutdown/standby problem. According to this forum: http://www.micropctalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26 the reason has something to do the with the USB Root Hub for the built in camera. From the post:
1. Right-click on my computer.
2. Click on properties.
3. Go to the Hardware tab and click on the Device Manager button.
4. Expand the Universal Serial Bus Controllers section.
5. Right-click on the 5th USB Root Hub icon and select Properties.
6. Click on the Power Management tab.
7. Uncheck the box next to "Allow computer to turn off this device to save power."
8. Click OK.
9. Close the Device Manager.
10. Click OK on the System Properties window.
11. Restart the computer.
I tried it, and it's worked perfectly for me. All the original drivers worked on my machine as well, though I did have a problem with the Bluetooth drivers, solved by reinstalling the drivers from scratch.
Red Corner: Chernobyl Tours {Gadling}
Feb 14th 2006 6:17AM A photographer by the name of Robert Polidori spent 3 days in 2001 photographing Chernobyl and the surrounding towns, and released a book called Zones of Exclusion: Pripyat and Chernobyl. The photos are stunning, from the outside everything looks almost normal, then you realise the trees and grass and everything is totally overgrown. If you're not game for the tour (or even if you are) keep an eye out for that book, it's really amazing stuff.
