21.5.2007Blackberrys innovative touchscreen
RIM has finally decided to cast away their QWERTY keyboard origins that their phones had been named after, and replace it with a touchscreen version
for the Blackberry Storm. Engadget has posted a review of the new Blackberry Storm that introduces this new innovative touchscreen. The screen is
not only capacitive (multi-touch) like the iPhone, but also offers the ability to push in to the screen and create a 'click' action. This
technology called SurePress and allows a user to hover over an item before performing a decisive click. A common problem with touchscreen smart
phones was compatibility with existing web pages that use hover events to provide feedback.

21.11.2008TomTom turn by turn navigation coming to iPhone
Turn by Turn navigation is finally coming to the iPhone. Announced at Apple's WWDC Tom Tom will be bringing the service to the device. Many have
asked for such a service as the iPhone is the perfect platform for the software and Tom Tom is set to deliver on that front. Also along with Tom Tom
Apple will be allowing users to add other turn by turn type applications. Google maps will now be allowed to be embedded into applications and it
will give you all of the same functionality that the stand alone app has. What developers will come up with is only a guess but it should allow for
many new and more useful applications.

29.03.2006Update: "Vista Capable" trial
The ongoing "Vista Capable" class-action lawsuit against Microsoft took an interesting turn the other day when an expert witness for the plaintiffs
claimed that the Redmond company made more than $1.5 billion through their "Vista Capable" marketing campaign. The origins of the trial itself
are to be found in the months prior to Vista's release when many computers were sold with Windows XP and the promise that they would be capable of
running Vista. However, many of these PCs, which sold at a premium and bore the "Vista Capable" label, turned out to be only capable of running
Vista Basic. Hence, Microsoft is being sued for what many would call false advertising.

10.07.2006Phase one: Capture one V4 has a new beta
James O'Neill: Hot on the heels of
the announcement that Phase one and Microsoft had entered an alliance I got a mail to tell me about
Capture one 4 beta 2. The web site has one of the most annoying bits of flash I've seen a
while. There's a control to turn the cheesy music off but you can't do anything about the loud "tock" that's emitted when you hover over
anything.
It looks like the UI has had a major re-vamp -which it puts me in mind of Adobe LightRoom (which I still haven't
bought for myself). Functionally it hasn't changed much: but a nice feature is you can have multiple variants of the processing for the same RAW
image. This means that you can keep a set of processing changes and try something different. It's able to straighten pictures now (why it wasn't
before I don't know), and can handle DNG. But it still can't print as far as I can tell it has no answer for Lightroom's lovely back and white
handling and split toning. Give me those things and and a clone / healing brush and I can work in a single program.

30.01.2009As WinXP Deadline Looms, OEMs Turn To Vista Downgrade Rights
Microsoft may be preparing to discontinue sales of Windows XP, but some OEMs have found a way to circumvent the software giant's June 30
deadline.
In yet another sign of the market's resistance to Windows Vista, Dell Computer, Hewlett Packard (NYSE:HPQ), and Sony on
Wednesday all confirmed plans to exercise the downgrade rights Microsoft offers with OEM versions of Windows Vista Business and Vista Ultimate in
order to continue offering XP-equipped PCs to their customers.
Downgrade rights, which Microsoft also offers to volume licensing customers,
give users the ability to roll back to the previous version of the product they're using. Downgrade rights have existed since 2001 for Windows,
but many Microsoft partners say they've been seeing a recent uptick in the number of customers exercising downgrade rights to roll Vista back to
XP Professional.

25.04.2008Businesses having second thoughts about Vista
Fewer businesses are now
planning to move to Windows
Vista than seven months ago,
according to a survey by patch
management vendor PatchLink
Corp., while more said they
will either stick with the
Windows they have, or turn to
Linux or Mac OS X.
In a just-released poll of
more than 250 of its clients,
PatchLink noted that only 2%
said they are already running
Vista, while another 9% said
they planned to roll out Vista
in the next three months. A
landslide majority, 87%, said
they would stay with their
existing version(s) of
Windows.
Those
numbers contrasted with a
similar survey the Scottsdale,
Ariz.-based vendor published
in December 2006. At the time,
43% said they had plans to
move to Vista while just 53%
planned to keep what Windows
they had.
Today's hesitation also
runs counter to what companies
thought they would do as of
late last year. In
PatchLink's December poll,
28% said they would deploy
Vista within the first year of
its release. But by the
results of the latest survey,
fewer than half as many --
just 11% -- will have opted
for the next-generation
operating system by Nov. 1. ..
