Just something funny for people who know at least something about computers:
A couple weeks ago, my school of about 1300 students was evacuated because of an apparent “bomb scare”; but the funny thing is, what they thought was a bomb, was just a computer beeping. The beeping was caused by someone who had left a book on the keyboard (which is a precaution on many PC’s to tell the user that they are pressing multiple keys at once).
This Week in Tech (TWiT) Episode 15 has been released; but just soon after it’s announcement, their site went down. So I’ve found a direct link to the file from the AOL servers. Enjoy.
The next version of Windows (codename Longhorn) Microsoft has been working on since 2001 has officially been given a name; Windows Vista.
Reactions from the people to the name haven’t been very high, but that was the same with Windows XP when the name was first announced. I’m sure once this new Windows is released, the name would have grown on people and they’ll like it.
Other people say that the new name doesn’t roll off the tongue easily, but if said like “WinVi”, that’s very easy to say.
Beta 1 of Windows Vista is set to hit developers by August 3rd, 2005. The final version of the operating system won’t be released till 2006.
Just letting you know that I’m back and will start posting back here again soon.
If you haven’t heard or seen the latest IPTV stuff, I’ll let you in about it.
* FromTheShadows crew released Box 4.0, showcasing a pretty cool device that turns traffic lights green.
* Diggnation podcast #3 is out.
* This Week in Tech Ep. 14 is out also.
That’s it from me from now. Later.
