New IE 7 Icon and Logo
Hopefully, by now you?ve seen from our posts that there are a lot of new features and work going into IE 7. As part of this update, we?re refreshing our icon and logotype. We considered more radical departures from our current logo, but blue ?e? with the ring is very recognizable and familiar to users, so we elected instead to make more subtle changes.

A new program called
KallOut works with all Microsoft Office products to let you search the web
right from within Office. After installing KallOut, an icon will appear in your system tray to show that its running. To use the program, just
double-click or select any word or phrase from within any Microsoft Office program (Outlook, Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Notepad, WordPad), Adobe PDFs,
Facebook, even IE and Firefox. Youll then see a small KallOut icon appear. From here, you can access a small pop-up menu that displays several
different search options. You can choose from several different search providers including Google, Live Search, Yahoo Search, and Technorati. You can
also search reference sites like Wikipedia and Dictionary.com. videos on YouTube, or photos on Flickr, and more.

01.08.2008Mini How-To: Remove the Windows BSOD icon in Leopard
Make OS X a little less smug
Its pretty clear that Apple left no stone unturned in Leopard, making changes and fixes throughout the new operating
system. Unfortunately, that also included an upgrade to its crucial smugness subsystem: the image you see above of an old school CRT monitor with a
blue screen of death is actually the not-so-subtle gag icon Leopard uses to represent Windows machines on your local network. (Is it any wonder why PC
and Mac fanboys tend to get in so many fights?) Granted, many Leopard beta users have seen this icon since the early releases, but we didnt actually
think the shipping version would include something so pompous and galling to the other 90%.

31.10.2007Beautiful Windows Vista icons a double-edged sword
I admit it. I'm an iconphile. Back in the Windows 3.0 days, I used to go and change all my Windows icons by hand. I thought this was pretty
impressive. Admittedly, it didn't help me pick up women for some reason.
Since then, icons have come a very long way. A VERY long way.
With Windows Vista, the end-user icon experience out of the box is beautiful. But from an icon creator's point of view, the lack of backward
compatibility and effort to support has gone up tremendously. As a result, we've seen a lot fewer custom icons made for Windows Vista than one might
have expected.
Microsoft made three decisions with Windows Vista that will forever affect the way we look at icon making on Windows.

17.10.2006E3 Lives! GamePro Expo Announced
According to a memo
circulated to a short list of
LA Convention and Visitors
Bureau members this week,
International Data Group,
publisher of dozens of tech
magazines and producer of
hundreds of trade shows around
the world (including
Macworld), will produce a new
games show to be held in Los
Angeles in mid-October 2007.
"IDG has been secured
to run the new GamePro Expo
show, what we knew as E3,"
the memo reads in part. While
IDG owns and publishes GamePro
magazine, it is not clear how
IDG plans on leveraging the
brand. According to Michael
Krouse, vice president of
convention sales for the LA
Convention and Visitors
Bureau, IDG is estimating that
the event will draw 30,000
attendees, and that long term,
those numbers could grow. "I
am absolutely convinced this
show will be as big as E3," Krouse told
GameSpot.
The new show
will be endorsed by the
ESA--"a very important
element to the partnership,"
says the memo, which goes on
to say the event will take
place at E3's former digs,
the Los Angeles Convention
Center, on October 18, 19, and
20, 2007. The event will have
trade show, consumer, and game
competition components and is
being presented to Convention
and Visitors Bureau members as
a show that could rival the
old E3 in size, scope, and
impact on the Los Angeles
economy: "Use E3 as a guide
," the memo advises.
Referring to the game
competition, Krouse said that
Staples Center owner AEG is
likely to partner with IDG,
and, "in concept," the live
tournaments would take place
at the Staples Center.
