Ever submit a problem and have the vendor flat out say “It’s not our problem?” It’s more than a little annoying in this day and age. I really thought that the PC universe had evolved beyond that kind of blatant BS. Boy, was I wrong!
Well, people, are you ready for Vista? I hope you’re concerned about the answer to that, at the very least. Microsoft, though it seems to have been taking its sweet time, has finally loosened up a little on information about the new OS.
By this time, most of you should know that the job hunting sites are fertile ground for identity theft. The thieves pose as companies looking for help in order to gain access to personal info on applicants. This is a double disaster for those poor people: they’ve lost their jobs and now they have their [...]
Did you hear that sound? It was the nearly silent sound of a long era come crashing to an end. Nearly every computer user knows the name WinZip. What may or may not have come to your attention was that the company (for company it was) was recently acquired by Corel Corporation.

Many of you will be familiar with the show ‘Call for Help’ on what used to be TechTV (and ZDTV before that). Then G4 game network got hold of the property and things technological went downhill fast. Staff got fired and shows were falling faster than the leaves will in a few weeks.
I’ve seen my share of FUD articles shrilly complaining that Microsoft’s Sender ID is really an evil plot to extort money from ISPs and take over the (Internet) world.
