21.1.2008 Office 12 to Feature 'Super Tooltips'
Tooltips, those little yellow popup boxes that provide information on a button or menu option, have become an indispensable part of the modern user interface. Now, Microsoft is looking to extend their usefulness by introducing what it calls "Super Tooltips" in the upcoming release of Office 12.
The next-generation Office suite from Microsoft is already slated to bring a major UI makeover. Standard toolbars have been replaced with task-oriented "Ribbons" that include features pertinent to the current job. But such a change will require a learning curve, which is where the new larger tooltips come in.

Canon U.S.A. Incorporated, the "Official Camera of the NFL" since 1984, has announced the launch of a Super Bowl sweepstakes. An advertisement
promoting the sweepstakes which will award one lucky winner at random (I wish the odds were a tad better than that) a trip for two to Super Bowl XLIII
in Tampa Bay in 2009, will begin appearing on January 14, both online and in print. Canon, the longest-tenured sponsor of the NFL, has lined the
football sidelines for years with both high-definition TV camera lenses and the white lenses used by professional photographers covering the game.

13.07.2007Admin Pack replacement to be available for Vista after SP1 RTM
Two days ago Kevin Remde from
Microsoft posted about there
not being an Admin Pack that
will run on Windows Vista for
administering Windows Server
2008 servers. He did this
after learning this from
another blog, and during
e-mail discussion threads.
The recommendation was to use
RDP (Terminal Services)
instead. Fortunately, there is
a group that is indeed
building a replacement:
The final word was finally
passed down from the group who
are building a new tool to
replace the Admin Pack for
running on Vista, and I have
received their permission to
repeat it here. Here is the
verbatim quote:
The new feature with
codename Remote Server
Administration Tools (RSAT
Client) for managing WS08 from
Vista SP1 Business, Enterprise
and Ultimate will be released
as an OOB
component shortly after Vista
SP1 RTM. In the meantime, you
can leverage the Admin Pack
for managing WS03 servers
remotely (Instructions Here:
http://support.microsoft.
com/kb/930056). The old Admin
Pack will not work against
WS08, though.
So.. that's good news!
You can use the Admin Pack to
manage WS03 servers, or you
can use the new Remote Server
Administration Tools (which I
understand will be much like
the ones added to "Longhorn"
Beta 3) when they become
available, on Vista SP1.

Should "Standard User" be the default in Windows 7?
Adrian Kingsley-Hughes: It seems clear to me that combining an Admin accounts with Windows 7’s “low nag” User Account Control (UAC) setting is a bad idea.
Problem is, Admin accounts and “low nag” UAC settings will be the default for millions of people buying Windows 7-based PCs.
The problem with systems running with these two settings is that it’s possible to use a code-injection vulnerability to silently run
code or other applications with administrative privileges behind the user’s back. Even Windows super-guru Mark Russinovich acknowledges that a problem exists...

Windows Live Custom Domains has today undergone its Wave 2 update that sees it renamed as Windows
Live Admin Center, though the old url of domains.live.com still works. This name change
reflects the wider array of features now offered by the service, which has transitioned from a hosted email service into a more complete Windows Live
package. The update now allows those who manage a domain to redirect a subdomain to a Windows Live Space, a Windows Live Map of a location you

Experimental Super 3G network could reach 300Mbps
Japan-based NTT DoCoMo
announced today that it plans
to begin testing on an
experimental "Super 3G"
system for extra-high-speed
data on mobile devices.
The country's largest
mobile carrier said that it
hopes to achieve an impressive
300Mbps down in its tests over
the wireless network. The
company has already begun
accepting proposals from
suppliers and hopes to
implement the Super 3G system
in Japan by 2009.
The
company said that it planned
to start experimenting with
Super 3G in an indoor setting
with only one transmitting
antenna and one receiving
antenna. From there, NTT
DoCoMo plans to expand the
experiment by using four
Multiple-Input Multiple-Output
(MIMO) antennas on both the
transmitting and receiving
side. The ultimate goal will
be not only to achieve 300Mbps
down but also to look at how
well handovers will be handled
between towers.

Camera tech behind the Super Bowl
The Super Bowl is one of the largest sporting events on earth. It attracts hundreds of millions of viewers each year and even more dollars will be
spent on advertising. Have you ever wondered what kind of technology is behind the curtains to make it all possible? This year NBC is leaving no
inch of the field uncovered. First off there will be "400 on-site production and engineering personnel" and they have put down over 50 miles of
fiber optic cable. There will be 35 high end Sony cameras using Cannon lenses to make sure every inch of game play is covered. Cameras will be
placed on everything from goal posts to outside the locker-rooms.

Surface used to coordinate Super Bowl Security
If you've been watching the news this week, you might have caught NFL security VP Milton Ahlerich saying that Raymond James Stadium in Tampa will be
"one the safest locations you can possibly be" during the Super Bowl on Sunday, and it looks like Microsoft Surface will be a big reason why: it's
being used to coordinate security forces around the site.
It's seriously slick -- maps are integrated with planning and voice
communications software so the field commanders can immediately assess incident responses and personnel deployments, with the ability to initiate
radio contact directly from the interface

Researchers Craft HDTV's Successor
High-definition TV may
still be far from the norm in
many countries, but that
isn't stopping engineers at
Japan's public broadcaster
from pushing ahead with
development of Super
Hi-Vision, a system they hope
will eventually replace HDTV.
Last week engineers at NHK's
(Nippon Hoso Kyokai) Science
and Technical Research
Laboratories showed off their
most recent work on the
technology.
A Super Hi-Vision (SHV)
picture is made up of 4,320
horizontal picture lines and
7,680 vertical lines. That's
four times the horizontal and
vertical resolution of current
HDTV or, put another way, a
single Super Hi-Vision image
is equivalent to 16 tiled HDTV
screens.
In the year
since it was last
demonstrated, the company has
developed an image sensor for
use in TV cameras that can
shoot an entire SHV screen...

Program Names govern admin rights in Vista
Developers have discovered
that the name given to a Vista
executable affects whether or
not it will require admin
rights to run. Security
experts said the feature might
seem odd, but helps to catch
out spyware. Reg Reader Mike,
a C++ developer, discovered
the behaviour after spending
days trying to work out why
just some of his projects
required elevation (admin
rights) to be run on his
Windows Vista machine. To his
disbelief, Mike realised that
the different properties were
simply due to projects being
named differently.
"If Vista sees that you
have created a Microsoft
Visual C++ project with
install in the project name,
then that .exe will
automatically require Admin
Rights to run. Create exactly
the same project, but call it,
say, Fred, and the problem
disappears," he explained.
"Vista's security isn't
just concerned with what an
.exe is doing to your PC, but
what it's actually
called."
