16.02.2007Microsoft releases Windows DreamScene
In early July, I wrote about The Ultimate Team's intention to ship the remaining promised Ultimate Extras (DreamScene and the remaining Language

announce that Windows DreamScene is now available.
As most of you already know, Windows DreamScene transforms your desktop from a static
wallpaper image into a full-motion video. In conjunction with Stardock, we're pleased to also offer a number of cool, new animated DreamScene
desktops, including "Aurora". Additionally, you can use your own videos as DreamScene desktops or visit Stardock's Dream.WinCustomize.com website

21.05.2007Dreamscene Preview Ultimate Extra available
Microsoft have just released
the 'Dreamscene Preview'
Ultimate Extra to users of the
Ultimate Edition of Windows
Vista. Dreamscene, which was
revealed at CES 2007, was
missing from the lineup of
extras at the launch of Vista,
as it needed further work.
This preview release allows
Ultimate Edition users to see
what the final technology will
be like once the final version
is released to the public.
Your desktop
background comes to life with
Windows DreamScene™. When you
download this Ultimate Extra,
you can select a video for
your desktop background the
same way you select a
stationary picture. You can
choose one of the high-quality
looping videos that we've
included, or use a video from
a company that produces
content for DreamScene. You
can even use your own video as
a background.
To
download Dreamscene, click the
Windows Update or Ultimate
Extras shortcut on your start
menu, and click the 'Check
for new updates' link.

Microsoft has been hard at
work trying to bundle a set of
special goodies to reward
people who shelled out the
cash for Vista Ultimate, such
as Dreamscene, a bundle of
animated wallpapers that uses
Vista's advanced compositing
display engine.
Well, the hackers have been
hard at work dissecting how
Dreamscene works and have come
up with a method to run the
program under any version of
Windows Vista, whether it be a
Business edition or just Home
Basic.

11.05.2007London to have satellites that monitor your speed
In a trial that can only be described as Big Brotherly, London is going is going to start trials of attempting to stop speeders from space. The
basic idea works around that the vehicles are equipped with information about speed limits for public roads. A satellite will monitor the speed of
the car vs. the pre-installed data to determine if the car is speeding. If the car is found to be speeding then one of two things can happen. The car
can either be slowed down by the satellite (voluntary mode) or the car can alert you that you need to slow down but won't actually adjust the
vehicles speed (advisory mode).

11.05.2009Windows 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.

30.01.2007Microsoft unveils Windows DreamScene
Tonight at CES Microsoft
introduced users to Windows
DreamScene (code-name Motion
Desktop). DreamScene is a
Windows Vista Ultimate Extra
designed to enable users to
use high-definition video
content as their desktop
background.
During
the demonstration, Microsoft
showed how little CPU
DreamScene uses thanks to its
utiliziation of the Desktop
Windows Manager (DWM).
Microsoft tapped
WinCustomize.com (a Neowin.net
partner) to host third-party
created content on a new site
called Dream.WinCustomize.com.
Microsoft also worked closely
with
Stardock
during the development of
DreamScene and to produce the
3D rendered content including

08.01.2007DreamScene RTM dated July 19, Microsoft: what took so long?
After Dreamscene was finally released, the anger built up over the months was somewhat subdued amongst Windows Vista Ultimate users. And yet, everyone
was quite curious on what took so long, as there didn't seem to be much of a difference between the beta preview released on February 28 (build
16455) and the final (build 16504) released yesterday. Well, unfortunately, what was discovered only raises mor questions. Dreamscene's core
component, Dreamscene.dll, had some interesting information other than just build numbers embedded within. According to the PE header and build string
of the library, the final Dreamscene build was compiled on July 19, 2007. Not only does that mean that there were a mere 49 builds in a grand total of
141 days, but one must ask, what exactly was Microsoft doing, other than testing of course, in the 68 days between build and release?

26.09.2007Stardock to announce DeskScapes 2.0 “ Vista Ultimate Extras going the Way of the Dodo
Long Zheng:
Windows Ultimate Extras is losing value faster than
the US dollar as one of the few śextrasť is soon to be superseded by a free third-party application that works not only on Vista Ultimate, but Home
Premium and Business versions as well. That extra would be
DreamScene, that third party would
be
Stardock and that application would be
DeskScapes 2.0. Those grumpy looking people in the corner would be
Ultimate Extra advocates.
Tomorrow, Stardock will announce
DeskScapes 2.0 “ the second version of its desktop background visualiser tool for Windows Vista. Formerly DeskScapes was an
extension to the DreamScene extra, allowing for dynamic generated śDreamsť on top of just the motion videos allowed by DreamScene itself. Now, both
formats will be supported by DeskScapes 2.0 without the requirements for DreamScene or Vista Ultimate.

13.11.2007Google street view car blocked by angry mob
A Google street view car was met by an unruly crowd in the UK. Some homeowners in the town of Broughton, UK were upset that a Google car was driving
and taking pictures of their homes and gardens. "A member of the public had called us to report that he, along with a number of others, were
standing in the middle of the road preventing the car from moving forwards and taking photographs. They felt his presence was an intrusion of their
privacy." Google did respond to the allegations that they do provide tools that allow users to remove the pictures of their homes to regain privacy.

03.04.2009Google street view car pulled over by the cops for speeding
There are certain things you don't do in your car when your employer is paying you to drive around. One thing people may still do even if they
are being paid to drive around is speed; maybe not excessively or on purpose but it happens. If you are paid to drive around with a huge camera
recording all your events attached to the roof of your car you should probably obey all traffic laws to the best of your ability. Not so is the case
for one Google street view driver who got pulled over by the cops.

27.09.2009The end of the road for Yugo
The Yugo, a car my family had as I grew up in Sarajevo has ceased production. This technologically "innovative" and cheap car from the early
1980's has not changed much in design, but consumer customization and the technology being implemented by its drivers launched the modern
"pimping"
of cars. Production of the car has officially ended after almost 30 years. Just like the Lada and the Skoda, the Yugo was
often ridiculed. Apparently Yugos came complete with heated rear windows to keep your hands warm when the car needed a push - just one of many jokes
inspired by its questionable quality. There are cars with spoilers and television screens.

The inevitable has happened, Twitter has officially taken the world by storm and it's coming to your car, hands-free. OnStar, a company that
provides subscription based communications, in-vehicle security, turn-by-turn navigation, and remote diagnostics systems throughout the United States

first concern when I'm driving, and I don't use my mobile device while driving. However what if you could just tell your car's OnStar
