1.3.2008UK spent 6.6 billion on new ID's, didnt buy one card reader
The British government has spent 6.6 billion dollars for a new identity card program that is based around biometrics. Like any new ID card program it
is designed to help enhance security for everyone from public officials to private citizens. The problem is that there is not one card reader in the
entire country, not at any police station, customs locations, anywhere in the entire country. It would be understandable if the government had a plan
to purchase card readers but it does not. "We have always said that we would roll out the scheme incrementally. The card will not be as useful as
it could be until we have got the volumes out there.

There is a new e-book reader literally every month and the U.S. has many e-reader devices, each with its own share of pros and cons. Yet another big
player, Barnes and Noble, has entered the market with very interesting hardware. According to the Codex Group, a consultant to the publishing
industry, Amazon has sold about 945,000 units, compared with 525,000 units of the Sony reader. Now Barnes & Noble, one of the largest bookstore chains
in the U.S., released their own e-book reader, the Nook, for pre-order; the company launched an e-bookstore in July. Users have access to over one
million books, magazines, and newspapers, which can be downloaded with the integrated Wi-Fi and 3G.

The time stamp you’ve always seen in the reader is the time
that Google indexed the article, not the time it was published. Going by how long it sometimes takes my posts to show up between the time I write
them, and I see them in Reader, it can take quite some time. By hovering your mouse over the time stamp, you’ll now be able to see both the
publishing and indexed times.

24.08.2007Windows 7 Beta 1 has problems with XP Display Drivers (XDDM)
I've been enjoying Windows 7 so much over the past week, that I've been evangelizing it to all of my friends. One friend with a Dell Inspiron
710m decided to take the plunge. Windows 7 installation went well, but we can't find any compatible display drivers for the Intel 855gm graphics
card. The graphics card in question doesn't support Windows Vista or Window 7's new WDDM driver model, but Windows Vista shipped with XDDM
drivers for this card out of the box. I feel that Windows 7 should have all of the same in-box drivers as Vista, and it's a bummer that this one
is not included.
