Windows Mobility Center is available only for laptops!?

TEST

I’m running Windows 7 on my laptop and I got an error today “Windows Mobility Center is available only for laptops” which made me go “whaaaaaaaaaaat?” because I am using a laptop. Well I found out the problem is due to the fact that I removed my battery from my notebook (or laptop, however you want to call it). You can also have this problem if your laptop is plugged into a UPS too. Here’s a quote from their site.

This issue may occur if the following conditions are true:

  • The computer is plugged into an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
  • The battery has been removed from the computer.

When these conditions are true, the computer’s role may be set incorrectly in the BIOS.

Sync iPhone or iPod Touch with Google Calendar

TEST

If you have an iPod Touch or an iPhone, it’s now easier than ever to sync with your Google Calendar. Before I was using NuevaSync which is a great service that’s free and works with Google Calendar, Google Contacts, and Plaxo. But now you can sync directly through Google as long as your iPod has firmware 2.2 or higher. Here’s how…

First of all, back everything up that you need to. Upload any contacts or calendars from your phone to your computer because the iPod will delete them all during setup. It’s kind of annoying, but it’s great once you’re synced up. I went through this process myself and everything went smoothly.

Here’s the link to the official Google page from where I took these instructions and pictures:
Sync: Set Up Your iPhone or iPod Touch

1. Open the Settings application on your device’s home screen.
