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. [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
In a move that may prove the undoing of the Firefox market share, the developers are stating that Firefox will get some changes as a nod to the changing face of Windows, but also the details show that more than a few of the proposed changes will make the new Firefox look more than a [...]
I’m not sure who missed the meeting, but the folks at Sophos, if they were in attendance, certainly did not take any notes.
It’s strange how many times things can be fluffed over in such a way that to the casual observer they seem completely different. At least that’s what we are requested to believe.
From slashdot [...]
With the newest revision of its (currently) fastest processor, AMD is moving towards greater efficiency for all its CPUs, and undoubtedly trying to reign in the thermal envelope for the upcoming Thuban six-core processors.
The Phenom II X4 965 is now rated at 125W instead of 140W, which will certainly allow its usage in many more [...]
If you are one of the people who have made the plunge to Windows 7, you might have found that for at least one brand, printer divers are still a problem. I had used a Vista driver for my HP, but have not done much printing, so, other than a really fine test page and [...]
Once upon a time, when performance in disk drives meant you had to have a SCSI (Small Computer System Interface, developed from the SASI interface, developed by Seagate) add-in card and connected drive, many manufacturers made them. Western Digital never had many offerings, but those it had worked very well.
Then the IDE (integrated drive electronics) [...]
