27.06.2007Windows Live Folders beta - more info
The folks over at LiveSide
have put up and detailed
walkthrough of Microsoft's
latest Live product, Windows
Live Folders.
Here's a snip:
Windows Live Folders is
(sic) not a difficult to use
service, folder creation is
straightforward, as it the
uploading of files. Microsoft
is aiming Windows Live Folders
towards a large as market as
possible, so the basic
procedures need to be simple
to promote adoption amongst
the less tech-savy. The use of
ajax to create new folders is
nice, though the rest of the
site could do with a little
too. As we've seen with
Windows Live Hotmail though,
too much of a good thing can
be bad.

14.08.2009HP's billion-color monitor gets a price: $3,499
Hewlett-Packard Co. has released a monitor aimed at animators, printers, game developers and other professionals who want to know that the colors
they see on a screen will be the exact same colors that appear on a printer or movie screen.
HP says it DreamColor LP2480zx will
deliver true colors because of its ability to display 30-bit color, which can provide up to one billion colors. The standard monitor uses 24-bit
color, making 16.7 million colors available per pixel. The 24-in. HP monitor includes a new LED backlight technology developed for it and has a list
price of $3,499.
HP first unveiled the monitor in April at the National Association of Broadcasters conference in Las Vegas, and

11.06.2008Windows Live Folders not final name for cloud storage service - Windows Live Skydrive instead?
Some things just seem to keep
reappearing like a bad penny,
and for Windows Live its
undoubtedly the naming
strategy. Since the Folders
beta was expanded earlier this
week, the login page has
referenced
the service as Windows
Live Skydrive. As we've
talked about previously,
Skydrive was the codename for
the cloud storage service
while it was in initial
development. We managed to get
the following official
comment:
Windows Live
Folders has always been a
placeholder name only and will
not be the final name of the
service when it ultimately
launches. We are not able to
publicly confirm any name
beyond Windows Live Folders at
this time; however, Windows
Live Folders is in beta, and
in addition to gathering input
and making changes to the
service, Microsoft will update
the name as well.
So will
Skydrive be the final name or
not? It definitely ranks along
the new "cool" names of
Popfly and Silverlight,
however it seem an unusual
step to use a codename for a
final product name. Even more
so when you consider the
current Senior Vice President
for Windows and Windows Live
allegedly dislikes codenames,
but lets not start
Long
Zheng bashing him again.
To wrap
it all off, yes the domain

ive.live.com/ has now

15.11.2007Are Vista icons facing the wrong way ?
No doubt you’ve all seen the “Computer” icon in Windows Vista. Some of you might have even clicked on it and few of you probably
have a shortcut on your desktop. But has it ever occurred to you it’s facing the wrong direction, away from you? At least one guy did, and this
is just one of the minor details under scrutiny at the Windows UX Taskforce that is particularly fascinating.
The problem is, by default,
Windows displays icons from left to right. Assuming the user sits in the middle of the monitor, the icons should in fact face right towards you and
not the edge of the monitor. The only icon in Vista off the top of my head which does this correctly are the “folders” icon which open up
towards the right. This actually conflicts with the official user experience guidelines suggesting the perspective of icons face left.
If
this isn’t weird enough, the Windows XP’s icons and even conceptual Vista icons designed by Iconfactory faced the right (pun) way. For
some unknown reason, Microsoft designers decided to flip them. Mac OSX icons face directly at you - probably the best solution.

23.06.2008Process Monitor 2 Released
If you have any need to find out what your computer is
really doing under the hood, you know that Process Monitor is
the tool.
Today, Process Monitor 2.0 was released. From the
Sysinternals blog:
This major update to Process Monitor adds real-time TCP and UDP monitoring to its existing process, thread, DLL, file system and registry
monitoring. You can now see the TCP and UDP activity processes performed, including the operation (e.g. connect, send, receive), local and remote IP
addresses and DNS names, and operation transfer lengths. On Windows Vista, Process Monitor also collects thread stacks for network
operations.

01.10.2008London 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).
