While Windows 7 is still a taboo subject as far as Microsoft is concerned, with the company offering just crumbs from the feast that is Windows Vista's successor, details do manage to slip through, and the Redmond company has nobody to blame for it but itself.

06.11.2009Google street view car hits a bridge
Google street view is not only helpful but it has produced many quality blunders that keep us coming back for more. In the latest edition of a Google
street view bork up, a Google street view driver tried to drive under a low bridge, the bridge won. In the images below you can clearly see the
bridge that the driver tried to go under but in the following pictures you see that the attempt resulted in a bent camera rig as the following
pictures are looking straight up. Google must have a good sense of humor as it tends to leave these kinds of pictures live.

04.03.2008Windows 7 build 7232 leaks, with new wallpaper
It's that time again, another week and another Windows 7 build leak. They are really starting to flow now leading up to RTM and this time there
are changes to report. Last week we had 7229 leak and this week it's build 7232.winmain.090610-1900 that has wriggled out of Microsoft's
Redmond HQ and is being distributed across the net. The most obvious visual change is that a new default wallpaper has been set and there is no more
betta fish. The new wallpaper is named harmony. Windows 7 is still on track for a July RTM, and it's possible that it may even RTM by the end of
June.

05.08.2009Windows DreamScene coming soon on Ultimate
Windows Vista Ultimate users
began to receive the first set
of "Ultimate Extras". But
arguably the most anticipated
Ultimate Extra was not there
-- Windows DreamScene.
Windows client
director, Jeff Putt has
confirmed that this extra will
not be available in its final
form immediately after launch.
However, a technology preview
may be coming soon for Windows
Vista Ultimate users who want
to give it a try.
Windows DreamScene enables
users to use looping
high-definition video content
(MPEG, WMV) as an animated
wallpaper. Thanks to the new
3D accelerated desktop in
Windows Vista, the animated
wallpaper uses virtually no
CPU (just a little for
decoding the video).
Microsoft demonstrated
Windows DreamScene yesterday
at the launch event which
showed Windows DreamScene
using an animated wallpaper
created by
Stardock
. The wallpaper they showed
will be available exclusively
at Neowin.net's partner site,
WinCustomize
.com, in February.
More information on
public availability for
Windows Vista Ultimate users
is expected soon.

19.11.2006Updated: The bridge to Microsoft, literally
If you've ever visited Microsoft's headquarters in Redmond, WA, you've probably been stuck in and out of traffic as you travel to and from
campus. As a journalist, I usually try to stay away from politics and news but this story is sure going to have the headlines in Washington D.C.
throwing a fit. It's a pretty known fact now that the entire world is in a recession, and people are losing their jobs left and right. If
you've been following the news relating to the economy, I'm sure you're very familiar with the $787 billion dollar Economic Stimulus
package into law a few weeks ago.

14.03.2009New type of image spam hides in e-mail wallpaper
A new type of image spam found
this week is able to bypass
many filters by presenting a
message as wallpaper within an
e-mail, according to the
vendor Secure Computing.
Image spam uses text
embedded in an image to foil
traditional spam filters that
catch spam by scanning
messages for key words and by
using other text-based
techniques. Normal image spam
is delivered as an attachment
or loaded into an e-mail via a
url, says Paul Henry, vice
president of strategic
accounts for Secure Computing.
But a new type of
image spam Secure Computing
found this week takes
advantage of e-mail
stationery, which consists of
an HTML template. When used
legitimately, the template
might contain a companys logo
and the senders name and
contact information, just like
a piece of letterhead paper. ..

14.06.2007More Intel "Eaglelake" Plans Revealed
Intel guidance released its
Bearlake-family chipset this
year, first with the G33 and
P35 Express models and later
on with the G35 and X38
Express. Although Intel is
still in the process of
launching Bearlake, its latest
roadmap has further details on
its successor “ Eaglelake.
Eaglelake spawns the
usual P, G and Q variants for
consumer and business
platforms. The
Eaglelake-family features
support for Intel
Penryn-family, Yorkfield and
Wolfdale, and other processors
with front-side buses up to
1333 MHz. Intel continues to
equip the Eaglelake-family
with DDR3 and DDR2 memory
controllers. DDR3-1333 and
DDR2-800 is still the memory
speeds of choice with
Eaglelake. Eaglelake also
introduces PCIe 2.0 for
discrete graphics to the
mainstream with all variants.
Strangely, PCIe signaling on
the south bridge is not PCIe
2.0 compliant.
Intel
pairs the Eaglelake-family
with a new ICH10 south bridge.
Intel has put the ICH10 on a
diet. ICH10 only provides
Serial ATA, PCIe, USB and
high-definition audio “
essentially legacy free. New
to the ICH10 south bridge are
FIS-based port multipliers.
Multiple SATA devices can
piggyback off a single SATA
port with FIS-based port
multipliers, without
sacrificing I/O performance. ..

12.09.2006At last, a bridge between Windows Home Server and Media Center
With this week's release of Power Pack 2 for Home Server, Microsoft is filling a very important gap. Up until recently, the company had been
maintaining that the place for users to store videos and multimedia was on their Media Center computers (generally Windows Vista Ultimate-based
systems), and the place for their "everyday files" was their Home Server. But the biggest and most cumbersome "everyday files" are multimedia
files, including those that deserve to be streamed and accessed by Media Center. While setting up Media Center to include a Home Server folder as one
of its "watch folders" is one option for getting files listed, that's not as rich as setting up a streaming connection...
