Dell XPS 400 “Unknown Device”
Recently, I rebuilt a Dell XPS 400 and there was one pesky device in Device Manager that I couldn’t find a driver for. I tried searching Google by the device instance ID (ACPI\AWY001\2&DABA3ff&0), but mostly found other people with the same problem.
Finally, I stumbled upon this post on Dell’s support site. Austinpctech provided the link to the driver for Intel’s Quick Resume Technology: http://bit.ly/v8KDEw

Print Friendly for Chrome Lets You Easily Remove Unwanted Web Page Elements Before Printing
Generally speaking, printing out a webpage is environmentally repugnant and stupid.
For those few times that you have to do it anyway (e.g. print-at-home tickets), this extension allows you to remove ads, navigation bars, logos, and irrelevant text, resulting in a cleaner, hopefully shorter printout.

How to Make Your Android or iOS Mobile Device Show in the “Devices” tab in Spotify
I’ve been a Spotify user for a few weeks now, and recently subscribed to the premium service so that I can sync tracks to my Android device. However, I found that I couldn’t get my local music to sync over wifi to the phone. I though perhaps it was a problem with my Droid X2, but as it turns out, the problem was actually a Windows Firewall setting (thanks to Rex S. for the tip). Here’s how to fix it in Windows 7:
- Press the Windows key, then type “allow a program”.
- Find “Allow a program through Windows Firewall” at the top of the Start Menu and click on it.
- Scroll down the list to find Spotify.
- Check the boxes for the networks you want Spotify to be able to access. You will likely find that “Public” is already checked. You’ll want to check “Domain” and/or “Home/Work (Private)” depending on which type(s) of network you connect to.
In a few moments, your device should show up in the “Devices” tab and you will be able to sync all of your playlists!
