Normally, I wouldn’t write much about a cable company getting whiny about an FCC ruling, but with the upcoming net neutrality legislation, it seems as though the people at Comcast are making a bit too much of the matter, in order to highlight the argument.
Comcast was deemed to be in violation of current FCC guidelines [...]
Many people are aching to get their hands on a solid state drive. The extreme access speeds and the lack of moving parts makes the choice a good one for those who have laptops and aren’t especially careful with them.
It is also nice for those who worship speed, and don’t know how to use a [...]
I know I was. After attending a couple of Microsoft seminars, two things became abundantly clear – those people don’t think as I do, nor do they use their computers in the same way; and they also cannot produce anyone who was a part of the ‘usability tests’ which we tend to hear about all [...]
Over at independent comparator and evaluator, AV-Comparatives, we see that in one of their latest tests, Microsoft Security Essentials is rated at the top of all the free antivirus products and very high when the paid versions are thrown in.
I don’t debate the results. I don’t doubt that the site has gotten them after their [...]
Do you remember when many people we stating that one of the really nasty things about the Starter Edition of Windows 7 was that the user was stuck with one rather nasty background, and no way to change it? I remember seeing a certain site trying to get around the problem through some registry magic, [...]
Deciding to get out of the accounting business, the Office Accounting product will be discontinued on November 16, 2009. All of the features that are on-line for that program will disappear soon after.
This includes the Office Accounting Express 2009 program, which I’m told by an accountant in the family, works well for the small business [...]
It might be the beginning of a great new change in the way things work. After the U2 concert last Sunday, apparently the Foo Fighters decided that they wanted in on part of that world-wide adulation.
From PC Magazine
On Friday, the Foo Fighters are following in U2’s footsteps, offering a free global stream of a live [...]
Everyone I know has been wondering how successful the new Microsoft branded stores would be, and if they might offer a place to gain insight on products that are new, or have not been fully investigated by the computer press.
I know I did not hold out much hope, but I did think it might be [...]
I have generally believed, and expressed here, that government help is needed for this nation to become a leader once again in the area of information access and transfer. I happen to subscribe to the theory that there are certain things too large for the individual to undertake, and that the nation sometimes needs the [...]
First, bear in mind that this is a first look, and I have not spent lots of time with this new version. I have stopped downloading most Linux betas because they don’t last long, and I can sit back and wait for the end product, where once I was not patient and thought it was [...]
Did you watch the concert last Sunday night on YouTube? I watched most of it, and I was happily surprised at the actual quality of the feed.
Unlike the Microsoft Live Earth proceedings, there was no cutting in and out, nor was the overall video quality as grainy (going full screen on my 1680 x 1050 [...]
Microsoft may be working at cross purposes, as it tries to tell everyone that staying with Windows XP is a bad move. Stating that Windows XP is less secure, or simply old, makes many who can’t afford to switch to a Mac, or don’t want to make a move to Windows 7, think about the [...]
I don’t usually get worked up about many things. I tend to believe that most things will take care of themselves, and individuals cannot do much to change things in a short time.
That might seem like fatalism, but it really isn’t – it is simply realism, I believe.
I have been reading so many things about [...]
Less than a week after the official release of Windows 7, Microsoft has been quietly releasing updates for Vista, perhaps trying to affect its legacy post mortem. After all, to all but those saddled with Vista, Windows 7 was the end of a dark time, not soon to be revisited.
It may be that Microsoft believes [...]
When we got the word earlier this year that Intel was going to delay the introduction of its own USB 3.0 chips, the designs of many motherboards were suddenly changed, reflecting the loss of the planned USB 3 ports.
Now, Asus has several motherboards which will include an add-in card that has two SATA 3.0 ports [...]
