There is a time honored statement that “Those who don’t learn from history, are condemned to repeat it.” Some people must have never heard that, or taken it to heart.
The people who write the Open Office software are generally smart people, and do what it needed to make their product better, and leave things that [...]
First, the title choice is mine. There seems to be no Plus Pack for Windows 7 from Microsoft. There also appears to be no Power Toys coming either. With the changes to the way Microsoft does things, there might be a few things that get very popular, and come from CodePlex, but there’s no guarantee.
On [...]
For those who use this program, it has been forever since the last non-beta version. I know that I have gone to the site several times, just certain that all work had stopped on the project.
It’s out now, and from preliminary shakedown, the wait was worth it.

I have been wondering that since earlier this week, when an article on slashdot asked if anyone really thought that Mr. Ballmer would ever really say that any Microsoft Launch was sub-par.
The article has a point; one that should not be lost on anyone who thinks. Since we are very early on in the life [...]
As I have written here before, I hosted a Windows 7 Ultimate Launch party, and for the party there were a couple of offers for software that was a kick-start to getting people purchase other software, to go along with Windows 7.
The biggies on the list were deals on Norton Internet Security and Kaspersky Antivirus. [...]
Intel doesn’t like to be talked about in a disparaging way. After a long time of no delivery on a product, effectively making it vaporware, a new amount of work is going into the Larrabee project, and the actual product may be materializing.
This morning, which is odd enough, as not much news in the computer [...]
The problems of the world continue no matter the hopes and best wishes of any business or corporate entity. That is the reason we have so many reports of the early sales of Windows 7 being up, by as much as 234%, according to some reports, yet other reports state that PC sales are down. [...]
It seems as though Microsoft is getting the bump by some manufacturers here in the U.S,, as Sony, for one, is shipping its VAIO notebooks with Chrome as the default browser.
Everyone who reads certainly must know by now that Internet Exploder is the slowest of the most used browsers, and it has only been in [...]
While perusing the ComputerWorld site, I found that ex-PCWorld editor-in-chief Harry McCracken has penned a series of six articles to ease the Windows user into the use of a modern Mac.
In the articles covered are making the jump, getting around at first on OS X, getting your files moved to the new machine, running Windows [...]
An as yet unannounced video card, featuring a prodigious amount of fast onboard memory, also shows the reason for the port that some (including me a while ago) thought was a solution looking for a problem.
An AMD/ATi 5870 with 2 GB of GDDR5 is shown in a blurb on Tech Connect, and also shows that, [...]
It’s more than a slogan for a salt company. It’s an old saw that means when bad things happen, they tend to come in droves.
That could be the forecast for Intel, as we have news that the Federal Trade Commission might jump on the dogpile that is forming on Intel. The suit expected to come [...]
For those who don’t want to be locked into a plan, Verizon offers a pre-pay alternative to it, as well as a better choice than using the Virgin network, which is actually Sprint’s.
A very good idea for very casual users, or others that realize that the usual post paid plans are no deal (5GB per [...]
It’s official, but I said it long ago. (Perhaps I am somewhat like Nostradamus.) It will take on more weight now that the industry big shots are speaking out – cloud computing is a bad name. It always was.
The Information Week article speaks out on the bad name, and other things-
Sure, Hewlett-Packard CEO Mark Hurd [...]
Walmart is pushing hard for the big slice of the holiday pie this year, more than ever before it seems.
A new note popping up in Maximum PC tells of a BF Only Xbox 360 for $99. It’s not strictly $99 that day, but if you’re the patient type it can be. Sort of a Black [...]
As anyone who builds computers knows, each year during the golden quarter (the last three months of the year, where many businesses actually get into the black for the entire year) prices on computer memory go up, as everyone anticipates the need for memory for Christmas holiday (could be Hanukkah, could be Kwanzaa) gifts of [...]
