VISTA NOT DEAD YET
Posted on September 13th, 2008 by Joy Schwabach
According to the highly regarded Gartner business research company, Microsoft’s Vista operating system is being rejected by business and home users alike and is proof that the 23 year old Windows line is collapsing of its own weight.

INSTANT ALBUMS
Posted on September 13th, 2008 by Joy Schwabach
We came across a set of mini CDs for creating instant photo slideshows. They’re called “Fun Photo CD!” and they cost $5 each from FunPhotoCD.com (and probably less from discount stores).

A new kid showed up on the block and we caught him carrying a PC Fixer.

THE OLYMPICS NEVER ENDS
Posted on September 4th, 2008 by Joy Schwabach
You can still watch the Olympics and pick up coverage of events you missed, or just see replays. We turned to several events we missed – the kayak, scull and canoe races, using the Windows Media Center. The Media Center comes with all Vista operating systems but it was also packaged with many other computers that came out before Vista. You can get Olympic re-run coverage from NBCOlymics.com and some other sites, like Sports.Yahoo.com. We tried these sites, but they weren’t as good as what we got from a free service called TVTonic.

DOWN WITH THE DONGLE
Posted on September 3rd, 2008 by Joy Schwabach
The security dongle is a little thing that plugs into your computer to prevent anyone but its rightful owner from getting into a program or computer. They’ve been around for many years, and hardly anybody likes them. Companies hate the small extra cost for the dongle pieces, and people often lose them.
An alternative solution is a phone call. PhoneFactor.com offers a free service that authenticates the user’s right to access a file or computer by calling the user on the phone.
