I have never tried this before so I cannot vouch for the truthfulness behind it, but apparently Adobe Photoshop will recognize currency and prevent the user from being able to manipulate it. This makes perfect sense because of the power of Photoshop and the number of professional editors that use Photoshop. It will also recognize credit cards and Euro notes.
The current host of the Windows Vista 5270 Torrent, ThePirateBay.org, will be upgrading its servers in order to meet the increasing demand for torrent files. How are they going to afford to do this $12,000 upgrade? They are selling themselves, actually renting themselves out for a night, on eBay.
PC Magazine has finished the Sony Cybershot DSC-T9 review today. They gave it 3.5/5 which is a good rating. I currently own the DSC-T5 and the H1 cameras by Sony and both are really great. I just received the Sony H1 a few days ago so I will have my own personal review of this camera up as soon as I have used it more.
If you have been waiting for the Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) Beta 2 then here is YOUR chance to preview it! It was just released a little while ago, well, I guess it was really leaked and not released.
Looks like some people were able to get their hands on the newest build of Internet Explorer Beta 2. The build number that they are currently on is 5296 and should be released within a month (or so many people speculate). Make sure you check out the screenshots below because they have animated screenshots so that you can really see what it will be like. It is a nice little preview!
If you always want to test those Microsoft products, like Windows Live Messenger or Windows Live Mail, then you might want to be one of the first to register for Microsoft Office Live! The beta version will be launched shortly (hopefully) and will allow users to manage the business application on a security-enhanced private Web site.
If businesses can do it, then why can't students? Computer programming students now have the option to offer money to get their assignments done. Currently on RentACoder, there are 2039 projects that you can make money if you complete it. There are 128,442 registered coders that are ready to do your homework for you, so you no longer have to procrastinate!
Manufactured by both Jean-Francois Ruchonnet and Vianney Halter, this watch is only available to those willing to spend a few years salary ($220,000 to be exact)! This is a limited-edition watch with only 135 made, so if you want one then you better not waste any 'time'!
If you have plans of ordering an Xbox, it looks like Gamestop is the last place that you want to look! They still have more than 30% of the preorders that they need to fulfill and don't plan on getting all of them done until February.
Reports from some GMail users say that Google is adding a 'Delete' button to some accounts. This has been one of the most awaited feature in GMail and now the time has come. The only reason I currently have a Delete button is because of a Firefox Extension that I use, but it will be nice to know I will have this button wherever I go.
Now women everywhere will be making the move to high tech devices, not because of productivity but because of warmth! Ranging from heated fingerless gloves to heated foot slippers. Why stop there, you might as well splurge and get the coffee heating pad! This would be funny to see someone using all of this at the same time (especially in an office). I wonder if these are USB 2.0 devices.
Yes, that is right, the Windows that is in the far far future could be named Vienna now. The previous name was Blackcomb until Robert Scoble, a 'reporter' for Microsoft, stated that the name is being changed to Vienna. If this is true then I think Microsoft has lost their mind. Names like Whistler, Longhorn, and Blackcomb were all cool, but Vienna? Who are we, Oscar Meyer?
This is the Jawbone PC Edition headset that is going to revolutionize VoIP communications. It has military-grade audio processing and will eliminate almost all background noise to allow for crisp and clean calls. This would be very important for those having to talk while they are in the airport or at a cafe where background noise is inevitable.
After a long time waiting, Opera 8.5 Beta for Windows Mobile Devices has finally been released. Windows Mobile users have been looking for a good browser alternative for quite some time, using Internet Explorer primarily on Pocket PC devices along with NetFront for the more powerful alternative.
The AskMeNow service that has been released could be a good alternative to using 411. I know on my cell phone using 411 costs $1.25, and with Google Mobile I haven't had to use 411. Now there may be a nicer alternative if I don't want to use text messaging. AskMeNow uses automated menus and can get information like sports scores, stock quotes, directions, and more.
It looks like Google will be taking its AdSense to a whole new level. They recently announced the move into radio advertising for $102 million with plans to incorporate the AdSense program right into the radio advertising. The company that Google is buying is dMarc and the deal should be done by the end of the first quarter this year. I wonder how Google is going to keep track of the 'clicks'.
Brains-N-Brawn has figured out a way for Xbox 360 users to watch DivX videos on their Xbox 360. This is a good workaround for everyone that is sitting on the edge of their seats waiting for a mod solution to turn the Xbox 360 into a real multimedia powerhouse.
It appears that Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) is going to be taking on even more of the popular features that can be found in Firefox. First, the big deal was Internet Explorer getting tabs. Then it was IE using Firefox's RSS icon to 'create less confusion for users'. Now, they are going to all users to delete the browser's history in a more sophisticated and effective way.
Right now you can get $440 off of the Dimension 9150 Pentium D Dual Core Computer when you purchase the 24" monitor with it. This is the computer that I have and it is awesome.
If you would like to get your Windows Live Messenger Invite then here is your chance. We currently only have 4 to give away but we would like to give you one. For the next 24 hours we are going to have a contest to see who can come up with the most creative thing that Google will release next. Rumors for awhile were about the Google PC, but what is it that you think it is going to be!
