Microsoft recently made the final version of Windows Vista available to all MSDN and TechNet subscribers via downloads on their site. This is far earlier than their planned late January commercial release of the product that will be available to consumers worldwide. Being an MSDN subscription awardee, I could snag my copy of it, but […]

Thought this was a rather timely article, being that I have just recently got into the world of text messaging with my new phone. A guy in Singapore broke the record for a 160 character text message by completing it in a little over 41 seconds. It would probably take me about 5 minutes […]

I recently came across a link to a free commercial version of Paragon Partition Manager 2005 from a deals site I was browsing when I was bored, and figured I would pass it along. It caught my attention because I was actually in need of one, since my boot partition is filling up and needs […]

In case you didn’t know, the two most-used internet browsers have came out with new versions: Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox 2.0. IE7 is sporting tabbed browsing to try to compete with Firefox, and sports a more slimmed down look, and FireFox has a slightly cleaner looking appearance. Appearances aren’t everything, of course, and […]

Its been a long time since I have posted, partly due because I’ve been busy with muh sweeeeetie (*smoochies* if you’re reading this), and another partly because I have been being a nerd and been playing my XBox 360 tooooo much. Well I’m back, with an article I have found from a couple months ago […]

Do you IM alot? Do you have instant messenger accounts on AOL, Yahoo, ICQ, and MSN, and you have to constantly keep switching between the two? Do having all of these programs up bog your computer down because it takes up too much system resources? Do you want to free resources up and handle all […]

Microsoft has free downloads for Virtual Server 2005 Revision 2 Enterprise Edition. Virtual Server is designed to allow you to test server applications in a server environment. This allows you to not have to buy a copy of Windows Server in order to do so :) Since I am always a fan of free software, […]

Seems the day I had downloaded the Google Sidebar (see previous post), they had a new version, which includes a feature in the Desktop Search which is “Search Across Computers”. It seems that this feature, when enabled, sends info like web history, etc to Google, which is a BAD thing. Luckily, it is disabled by […]

Trying out some new tools to play with, one of them is the Google Sidebar. Its a bar that resides, get this, on the SIDE (I know.. its crazy) of your computer screen, that contains all sorts of different pieces of information, such as News, Weather, Scratch Pad, To Do List, and even a Photos […]

The first rumors of a game for the XBox 360 have started, with Condemned : Criminal Origins. A group called “Team PI Coder” have said they were able to create a Raw Dump of the files from the DVD. You can’t do anything with the files yet, the XBox 360 won’t play them, but its […]

FireFox 1.5 is now out, it is not in Beta anymore, so time to download! What’s new and improved in this version? Faster browsing, improved pop up blocking, integrated search, stronger security, and Live Bookmarks, as well as a few other things. If you are still using IE, then click on my “browse happy” link […]

Found a site where you can search for patterns of numbers in Pi. The Pi Search Site searches over 200 million digits in the number. What is this useful for? Well, nothing really, just something to play with. I searched for my birthday (01/07/1980), and the results:
—————
The string 01071980 was found at position 42,989,599 counting […]

Seems to be a problem with several of the initial XBox 360 consoles. After playing for 10 or 15 minutes, the screen goes blank, and shows an error message. After this, three red lights appear on the box. Haven’t poked around enough, but it seems like if this is an issue, Microsoft is being very […]

Well.. I am just having no luck trying to score an XBox 360… Just today, while I was converting some of my music to MP3 (along with putting up with family on Turkey day hehe) Amazon and Sears put up bundles that were available, and once I found out, I was too late. I had […]

Circuit City on Friday started selling the Xbox 360 consoles on its website, sadly, I was totally unaware of this. They managed to sell out of their entire online stock in under three hours. During this time, the website was flooded with people, and most online customers experienced large slowdowns.
Circuit City was the first […]
