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.

7.12.2008Admin 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.

Windows Live Admin Center SDK V3.0
The Windows Live Admin Center SDK is intended for customers and partners who want to programmatically accomplish many of the administration tasks that
are available on the Windows Live Admin Center web site in addition to tasks that are not available on the Web site, such as importing and exporting
user lists.
The SDK uses the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) remote procedure call (RPC) 1.1 standard for communication
between client applications and the web servers for Windows Live Admin Center.

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."

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...

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.

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.

Hidden Vista tools
If Sven Hallauer ever has a moment to reflect in his Redmond office, he can feel quietly pleased with himself.
As the release
manager for Vista, he had overall responsibility during the development period for the success of the Most Secure Windows Ever project.
For Hallauer, however, the flexibility of the new operating system is just as important as the security features. In particular, Vista is
equipped with far better admin tools than previous versions. Previously, administrators were forced to add tools from Resource Kits, but now Vista
comes with a lot of tools already on board, as well explain later.
You can tell just by looking at the increased minimum hardware
requirements that theres a lot more in the new version of Windows. It used to be possible to keep an installation of Windows 95 under 200MB, but Vista
requires 40 times more hard disk space. Even in comparison to Windows XP, Vista needs five times more space.

Researchers Craft HDTV's Successor
High-definition TV may
still be far from the norm in

isn't stopping engineers at

from pushing ahead with
development of Super
Hi-Vision, a system they hope
will eventually replace HDTV.
Last week engineers at NHK's

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...
