3.5.2007 Is It Not Too Early to Crucify Windows Vista SP1 and Put XP SP3 on a Pedestal?
When it comes down to Windows Vista the end users are judge, jury and executioner. There is little doubt about this. It is a rather unfair trial for Microsoft's latest operating system, since there are so many variables to consider when assessing the Windows client.

A conversation has cropped up since the recent publication of a paper scrutinizing how Windows handles digital rights management, especially for HD video.

02.01.2008An Introductory Guide to SSD Storage
NotebookReview.com have put together a very useful guide on the pros and cons of Solid State Drive storage:
I thought I would
put this guide together to help the NotebookReview.com community as SSDs (Solid State Drives) are coming upon us so quickly and the interest seems to
be going through the roof. Since my first article
'Comparing
SSD Performance to Mechanical SSD Performance in a Dell Laptop' and consequently, my follow up to that
'Showdown at Big Sky -- Sandisk 32GB SSD Vs. Seagate 160GB 7200RPM
HD', the interest in the SSD has become overwhelming with respect to messages I've received from people, questions and advise given.
Instead of continuing to answer all of those questions individually, this guide is an attempt to answer basic questions about SSD that people
have.

06.11.2008Determining When to Buy a New PC
There's no other major item most of us own that is as confusing, unpredictable and unreliable as our personal computers. Everybody has questions
about them, and we aim to help.
Here are a few questions about computers I've received recently from people like you, and my
answers. I have edited and restated the questions a bit, for readability. This week my mailbox contained questions about watching high-definition
television in real time on a Mac, the future of Palm's Treo, and remote desktop control.

01.11.2007More questions (and even a few answers) about Windows 7 E
Mary Jo Foley: It's been a week since Microsoft publicly acknowledged its plan to release
a
browserless version of Windows 7 that would be sold in Europe only, as a way to potentially appease European antitrust regulators.
Since then, I’ve gotten more than a few reader questions about Windows 7 E and have come up with a few of my own and have put
them to Microsoft for answers. Here are a few more tidbits about what users and developers can expect from that version of Windows 7, slated to be
commercially available on October 22. All of these answers were provided to me via a Microsoft spokesperson.

Yahoo Adds Human Touch To
Search
Yahoo Inc. on Thursday
released in beta an online
service that lets registered
users post and answer
questions, a move that adds a
human element to Web
searching.
The Sunnyvale, Calif., portal

http://answers.yahoo.com/]Yaho
o Answers complements its
standard search engine by
letting people ask
straightforward questions and
receive answers based on the
collective knowledge of other

The
service addresses the need for
answers to everyday question
that can't be easily handled
through keyword searches, the
company said. Questions and
answers posted through the new
service are archived and
categorized by topic to make
them
searchable.
Users
can set up RSS feeds either
through their My Yahoo
personal portal or some other
newsreader, in order to
receive the latest questions
and answers on selected
topics. Answers to individual
questions are posted on the
site, and can also be
delivered through email. ..

AMD almost promises "no core wars" ... but forgets
These press junkets are great. You can get to meet all kinds of clever folk and ask them questions. They wont answer them but they will buy you lunch
and put you up in a swanky hotel so you can run through the motions of not getting your questions answered.
Here in Barcelona,
there were a few questions we didn't get answers to: Why was Barcelona late? It wasn't, apparently. Anyone who thought the chip was to launch back
in March or even before must be a bit dim. Or listened to what they were being told and forgot to take it with a pinch of salt.
"It wasn't late," AMD corporate veep Alberto Macchi told me with a straight face.
He claimed the launch was in line with
AMD's announcements on the matter. Back in the main hall, AMD's director of process technology, David Greenlaw, had earlier said the chip was late
because it brought with it, "complicated design issues". So it was late then? Well, yes. Why is Macchi wasting my time? That'll be because he's a
big cheese who obviously feels himself above the need to be frank with members of the press, I suspect.

Sympathizers Seek Answers from al-Qaida
Sympathizers submitted hundreds of questions to al-Qaida deputy leader Ayman al-Zawahri's "on-line interview" before a recent deadline. Among
them: Why hasn't al-Qaida attacked the U.S. again, why isn't it attacking the Israelis and when will it be more active in Egypt, Saudi Arabia
and Syria? So far, there have been no answers. Al-Qaida's media arm, Al-Sahab, announced in December that al-Zawahri would take questions from the
public posted on Islamic militant Web sites and would respond "as soon as possible." More than 900 entries - many with multiple questions - were
posted on the main Islamist Web site until the cutoff date of Jan. 16. After the deadline, the questions disappeared from that site and no answers
have yet appeared. One thing is clear from the questions: Self-proclaimed al-Qaida supporters are as much in the dark about the terror network's
operations and intentions as Western analysts and intelligence agencies.
