27.01.2009HTC Magic available for pre-order from Vodafone
With an expected release of 5th May, fans of the HTC Magic will now be able to pre-order it, and be the first to receive the device when it launches
in Europe. The handset will be free for 18 month contracts at £35 per month or greater, and £195.74 or £293.62 for 18 month

17.02.2009How to identify a buggy device driver on Windows Vista
If your computer is acting unpredictably, locking up, and encountering blue screens of death, then youre most likely the victim of a faulty driver.
The Driver Verifier Manager (DFV) is a great tool for troubleshooting driver problems by identifying the troubling driver. Although DFV does not
actually fix the driver, it still is a really useful tool because it helps you identify the troubling driver so you can choose to delete or update the
driver.
Before you attempt to use this tool, please be sure that your are really having driver problems. The tool will prevent
your computer from starting by identifying the troubling driver. I say this only because it may be a lengthy process for you but if you are
having troubles, it will definitely be worth it.

15.05.2009Windows Server 2008: Printer-Driver Packages
Day Twelve. We're almost halfway through our series. Today we'll continue on with our Printing theme - specifically, Printer-driver packages.
We'll also provide some background on the driver store feature of Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008.
Printer-driver packages
are digitally signed printer drivers that install all of the components of the driver to the driver store on computers running Windows Vista or
Windows Server 2008. Using printer-driver packages on a print server that is running Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008 enables users who are not
members of the local Administrators group to connect to the print server and install (or receive) updated printer drivers. Before we go too much
further, let's go over the concept of the driver store.

17.02.2009Microsoft Office Visio 2007 Positioned in the Leaders Quadrant
Gartner Inc. has positioned Microsoft Corp., a leading provider of business process management (BPM) software, in the Leaders quadrant in its 2007
Magic Quadrant for Business Process Analysis (BPA) Tools, 2H07-1H08 report.1 The report evaluates services and products that include Microsoft®
Office Visio® 2007.
The Gartner Magic Quadrant for BPA Tools examines how business process analysis tools continue to grow in
importance as business managers, process architects and process analysts seek to better capture, understand, streamline and automate their business
processes. Gartner also underscored that BPA is increasingly used for compliance and process improvement initiatives. For business process (BP)
improvement, BPA is the key link between business activity monitoring and workflow assembly and business orchestration.
As
businesses look more and more to process improvements as a core driver of growth and profitability, they made it clear that they want an easier way to
analyze their processes, many of which are already captured in Office Visio 2007 diagrams, said Richard Wolf, general manager of the Office Graphics
Division at Microsoft. This led us to focus Office Visio 2007 on integrating and displaying process, system and activity data directly in Office
Visio 2007 diagrams for easier exploration and understanding...

13.09.2007Dark Messiah Might and Magic Launch Trailer
I don't normally post about
trailers or movies, but since
Dark Messiah Might and Magic
(they dropped the of, I
think?) launches tomorrow I
figured why not. This trailer
will absolutely get your blood
pumping for the game, I know I
can't wait to play it
tomorrow now. Wowzers.
Right now the only
mirror I can see is the
Fileplanet mirror, sorry guys.
I know how some of you hate
Fileplanet and all. I'll look
for some more mirrors during
the day and add them once I
find them. Feel free to add
them to the comments area as
well.
Just to
remind you, Dark Messiah Might
and Magic launches on Steam
tomorrow October 25 at 10AM
Eastern Time for North
America only. The rest of the
world launches on Steam on
October 27 at 10AM GMT.
The video runs for 2
minutes and 34 seconds, and is
really stunning. Not the
greatest quality mind you,
especially for a 20 meg WMV
file, but it works. Enjoy.

04.04.2008Microsoft Surface vs. CNN's Magic Wall
John McCain and Barack Obama haven't been discussing tech issues much, but this election season has showcased technology in a different way.
Multi-touch, big-screen interfaces are all the rage among the cable news networks -- most notably CNN and its "Magic Wall," which even
earned its own
Saturday Night Live
spoof. More recently, NBC got into the act by bringing in a Microsoft Surface tabletop computer, putting a high-tech sheen on its political
coverage.
The concepts are similar, the implementations very different.
