The long waiting Windows Vista will be launched in Malaysia on the 3rd of February 2007. Many users are still concerned whether their computer is ready for the new operating system. The graphics of this new OS requires high speed processor and high end graphics card. Is that so? Well, Microsoft had developed a program to check whether your computer is capable of running Vista or not.

Is your blog being attacked by comment spammers? If you are running a Wordpress blog, that is quite normal. You will get more spams if your blog is popular. There are a lot of ways out there to stop these comments spammers such as installing Akismet and Spam Karma plugins. But seriously, does these plugins really work? Some people might say yes but I don’t think so. What these plugins really do is filtering the spam comments from appearing in your comments. Read my words, “filtering” not “preventing”. In order to prevent your blog from being attacked by these bot spammers, you need to do something.
What a procastinator would usually do to avoid being late is setting their clock 15 minutes ahead just to trick themselves. But this trick usually fails as most of them, like myself, will keep reminding themselves that the clock is actually 15 minutes ahead and end up being even later. So David Seah came up with a procastinator’s clock that is specially made for procastinators.
Windows Xp is on its way, fully prepared to mow down every operating system in its path. If you are planning to make the move to the new OS end of this month, ExtremeTech posted something that you need to know about upgrading your XP to Vista.
You can only perform an in-place upgrade from certain Windows XP versions to certain Windows Vista versions; you can’t upgrade any of the pre-Vista Windows operating systems (including Windows 9x/Me and Windows 2000) to Vista without performing a clean installation.
This is an interesting news.
Google is talking with military agencies in Iraq after learning that terrorists attacking British bases in Basra appear to have been using aerial footage from Google Earth to pinpoint strikes, according to the United Kingdom’s Daily Telegraph.
Among documents seized in raids on insurgents’ homes were printouts from photos taken from Google Earth that show the location of buildings, tents, latrines and lightly armored vehicles, the news site reported. On the back of one set of photos, someone had written the precise longitude and latitude of the Shatt Al Arab Hotel, where 1,000 Staffordshire Regiment soldiers are headquartered, the report said.
The news of Apple announcing their iPhone yesterday was like hot pancake but today, there are more hot news. Cisco Systems Inc. is suing Apple Inc. in federal court over Apple’s use of Cisco’s registered iPhone trademark for its new handheld device.
Cisco has owned the trademark on the name “iPhone” since 2000, when it acquired InfoGear Technology Corp., which originally registered the name.
And three weeks ago, Cisco’s Linksys division put the trademark to use, releasing an Internet-enabled phone called “iPhone” that uses the increasingly popular Voice over Internet Protocol, or VoIP.
Microsoft previewed its long-awaited Windows Home Server (WHS) product, a Window Server 2003 R2-based server for consumers that dispenses with the complexities of most Windows Server versions and provides the core storage, sharing, and remote access functionality that digital media and home networking enthusiasts require at the 2007 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.
Here’s the rundown of the facts on Windows Home Server:
- Units are headless and embedded only — you cannot buy WHS and put it on an old PC.
- There is no common web interface. Interaction is entirely client software based, or done over SMB.
- It cannot directly stream media to Media Center Extenders, but it can stream media directly to Windows Media Connect-enabled devices.
