Top Windows, HTML 5, WYSIWYG HTML editors


Do you need a free web editor that supports HML5? I needed one and I really had to waste some time to review some. Here are the conclusions (and the conclusions only). NOTE: See the 2017 update at the end of the post!

BlueGriffon

Comment: Seems robust and mature

Maqetta     
Discontinued may 2013, but still online
Price: free
Kit size: 86MB
Conclusion: Difficult to Install. Needs Java 6!

LibreOffice

Price: free

OpenOffice.org     2014
It only has a web page editor (not web site builder)

Dreamweaver

Conclusion: Nice but way too expensive!

Embarcadero finally decided to fix SOME bugs in Delphi


In the new road map, Embarcadero finally decided to fix SOME bugs in Delphi.

It seems good news but hold your horses:
1. They not always keep their promise related to the road map.
2. There are not so many bugs
3. They won't do all the fixes at once, but until 2018
4. Until 2018 another 500 new bugs (AT LEAST) will be introduced
5. We have to pay (not 59 bucks but HARD money) to get that non-buggy version of Delphi.

And in the end, what the fuck are we so happy that Embarcadero is fixing some bugs? Is not a present, a gift from heavens! Those bugs SHOULD NOT BE THERE anyway!

So, thank you Embarcadero for finally thinking to fix some bugs and FUCK YOU.

PS: In the next road map maybe you will introduce an item likes "free updates".

Toshiba Qosmio - 10GB hidden partition

I just find out where a good chunk on my free HDD space disappeared.

After purchasing the Toshiba Qosmio laptop, I have seen that only 450GB of 500 are available. Few hours after purchase I discovered that two large hidden partitions were created by Toshiba. One is 1GB large and it seems to be the standard Windows 7 hidden partition - but obviously much larger. The second one is not less than 10.3GB in size! It seems to contain the recovery software (Windows setup, drivers, etc.)
The second partition is safe to delete since the so called "recovery" tool offered by Toshiba is 100% useless because it will format your drive and reinstall Windows instead of actually trying to recover the data for you.

So, no matter what you do, DO NOT use Toshiba's recovery utility if you have and important files on your drive!


Details:

The partitions can bee seen using the Disk Management utility.
Start>Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Computer Managment>Disk Management

Just delete the last partition (not also the first one!) and expand the previous one to fill the free space.
