Microsoft announced last night that they've come up with with a name for Windows 7. You might be expecting something along the lines of "XP" or "Vista," but they aren't going that route this time around.
Welcome to the WrapUp by CyberNet. This is a collection of news stories and tips that we have collected over the last few days, but never got around to writing about. Don't forget to send in your own tips, or just leave a comment on this page if you think you've got something we should include.
Welcome to Daily Downloads brought to you by CyberNet! Periodically throughout the week we bring you software updates for widely used programs, and it's safe to assume that all the software we list is freeware (we'll try to note the paid-only programs).
One thing Google has really done a good job of is implementing a few unique features into Gmail that other mainstream email services don't offer. To give you an example, IMAP support. Of course some services do offer it, but many, especially those that are free, do not.
Google is always thinking of you, aren't they? Okay, maybe not always, but today they are thinking of those of you who tend to uh, have a few too many drinks on the weekend, to put it nicely. When you are in a state of inebriation, you may do things that you regret like send random text messages or email.
I've always felt like there hasn't been a perfect tool out there for the average person who wants to shoot panoramic shots, and doesn't want to spend ages assembling them on their machine. One of the last tools that we covered on the site was Hugin, but you could spend hours tweaking settings trying to get things just right.

I know that some of you have been patiently awaiting for a Windows version of the Slife computer usage analyzer. Back in June we wrote up a quick review of the Mac version, and at the time a Windows version was in the works.
The other day I had someone who ran into a big problem that many of us hope to never come across. What happened was the user had forgotten the administrator password for their Windows Vista machine, and had no idea how they could log on.
In celebration of Google's 10th birthday they decided to give us all an awesome glimpse into the past. What they've gone and done is bring back the search engine just like it was in 2001. I'm not talking just the looks either... the full search index, too! Any searches you perform on that special page will pull up the same results you would have received back in 2001.
