It was exactly three weeks ago when Microsoft released a Virtual PC image that had a pre-activated version of Windows XP on it. The reason they posted it was because a lot of people were complaining that they had no way to run Internet Explorer 6 and 7 on the same machine.
Creating websites is no easy task if you are trying to make it cross-browser compatible. Especially since you have to keep in mind old versions of Web browsers because not everyone upgrades right away.
About a week ago Paul Thurrott put together a great feature comparison guide for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and the Wii. He highlights many of the features that tech enthusiasts love to know about, like the processors and included RAM.
From the title of the article you are probably thinking that this is an extension that will add a feature to undo recently closed tabs. There's no need for that because Firefox 2 already has that built-into the browser. The problem is that the feature isn't very configurable and there is no easy way to quickly retrieve closed tabs.
The Firefox crop circle that was made by some Oregon State University students a few months back has now been placed on Google Maps. Every time I see a picture of this crop circle it always amazes me.
Coincidentally Zoho just released a plug-in that almost does what many of us were talking about in the comments yesterday on the Google Spreadsheets post. The plug-in is for Microsoft Office and will allow you to save and open your Microsoft Word/Excel documents to Zoho from within the application itself. So you could look at Zoho almost as being another storage spot on your hard drive.
It is a "new day" according to Microsoft since they have their Windows Vista business launch today! I honestly can't believe that the day has already come for the first launch of Windows Vista.
I have been using my laptop as a second monitor for a few weeks now and it has made me more productive than ever. Instead of using my small 14" laptop screen as the primary monitor I prefer to use my 24" LCD as the main one because my laptop is off to the right of me and I only glance it once in awhile.
This is one of the more unique Flickr websites that I have found. Flickr Time lets you enter in a few tags and it will retrieve images from Flickr. Nothing special, right? It will actually take those images and assemble the current time with thumbnails. I know, it still doesn't sound cool...but you haven't tried it.
Google Just released some awesome new features for the Google Spreadsheets. Here is the list of features in a nice bulleted fashion:
Anyone who uses Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) in Windows XP or 2003 are strongly encouraged to upgrade to RDC 6 that was just released. The newest version has support for Windows Vista which is very important when connecting to a Vista machine or if you are on a Vista machine and are connecting to a computer that is running XP.
Okay, so the other day we went over all of the features that had been changed since the original concept of the Optimus keyboard had been revealed. The latest feature that they removed was the color keys and they were being replaced with black & white ones since, according to them, that is suitable for 95% of all tasks.
I just noticed that there was a new extension posted to Mozilla's Add-on page and it will notify you if there are any unread items in Google Reader. This may sound similar to the extension that I mentioned last week but this Google Reader Notifier does a few things that the other didn't do.
So Microsoft started this "Power Together" site and is offering free versions of Windows Vista Business and Microsoft Office Professional 2007. For the last day I have seen stuff all over the Internet regarding this and people are getting really excited.
A few weeks ago I made a post about Google services that don't work properly in Opera.
Camera's are being put into everything: phones, computers, cars (for assisted parallel parking), and even toys for kids. Most of the time the photos are meant to be stored by the consumer for the sake of memories...but it doesn't hurt to have some nice software to help you out along the way.
The SpaceNavigator mouse is truly the first of its kind. What makes it so special? It isn't your typical 5-button mouse that has a scroll-wheel for easy navigation your Word documents.
Statistics are always fun to look at and they help to monitor growth. LinkedWords provides a look at statistics in a more unique fashion. Their goal is to accumulate hyperlinks from a variety of sites and monitor what words they are using to link to those sites. Then they compile those results to find the "most linked-to words" for the day, week, and month.
I am a very conscientious shopper especially when it comes to larger things like televisions or computers. I want to know what problems other people have had with the item or truly what people have thought about their purchase.
Opera just announced the official release of the Opera Mini 3.0 web browser. It is the perfect piece of software to run on your cellphone that will cater to all of your browsing needs.
