Windows 7 Will Let Microsoft Track Your Every Move Windows 7 Will Let Microsoft Track Your Every Move - Webmonkey

Ummm. I’m sticking with my Mac, thank you very much!

It’s unwise, not to mention insulting, to explain away Apple’s success by calling its customers “fanboys” or describing them as members of a cult. Rob Pegoraro - Fast Forward: Recession not making a dent in Apple’s pricey product line - washingtonpost.com
Apple doesn’t have to [ship a netbook to stay competitive] any more than Cadillac owes the world an $18,000 subcompact. Rob Pegoraro - Fast Forward: Recession not making a dent in Apple’s pricey product line - washingtonpost.com

Kara Swisher’s Boys Throw a Windows 7 Launch Party! All Things Video | AllThingsD

Too funny, especially the game of hide & seek!

Microsoft has stripped Windows 7 of some important accessory programs. Believe it or not, software for managing photos, editing videos, reading PDF documents, maintaining a calendar, managing addresses, chatting online or writing e-mail doesn’t come with Windows 7.

)

Explanation: Who’s been marking up Mars? This portion of a recent high-resolution picture from the HiRISE camera on board the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter shows twisting dark trails criss-crossing light colored terrain on the martian surface. Newly formed trails like these had presented researchers with a tantalizing martian mystery but are now known to be the work of miniature wind vortices known to occur on the red planet - martian dust devils. Such spinning columns of rising air heated by the warm surface are also common in dry and desert areas on planet Earth. Typically lasting only a few minutes, dust devils becoming visible as they pick up loose red-colored dust leaving the darker and heavier sand beneath intact. On Mars, dust devils can be up to 8 kilometers high. Dust devils have been credited with unexpected cleanings of mars rover solar panels.” 
Ha! Looked like a tattoo to me!

A phone-based calendar could also leave you vulnerable. Police in the UK have already identified burglaries that were committed after the thief stole a phone and then targeted the individual’s home because their calendar said they were away on holiday… It’s largely opportunistic, but if you’ve got all your personal information on there, like bank details, social security details and credit card information, then you’re really asking for someone to ‘become’ you, or rob you. Joe McGeehan, head of Toshiba’s research lab in Europe and leader of DTAAC’s Design Out Crime project, which recently set UK designers the challenge of trying to make cellphones less attractive to people like hackers and identity thieves.” — The pocket spy: Will your smartphone rat you out? - tech - 14 October 2009 - New Scientist
