24.08.2005Application Specific Glass Colorization in Windows 7?
Microsoft might be introducing application specific glass renderings. The color of the glass frame around a window can be changed in Vista, but the
change is global to the system. The color of any particular window glass frame can not be set by choice. But, how about being able to change the
color/opacity level of a the glass frame of any application through defined events or commands? According to a Patent number 7418668:
A
method for changing a color value and/or level of opacity value of a glass appearance window frame for an application window is described. The method
includes steps of determining a defined color value and a defined level of opacity value to apply to a glass appearance window frame and displaying
the glass appearance window frame in accordance with the defined color value and the defined level of opacity value. A command may be received to
apply the defined color value and the defined level of opacity value to the glass appearance window frame, thereby applying the defined color value
and level of opacity value to the glass appearance window frame. Color values and/or level of opacity values may be changed automatically, be
application specific, and/or be changed in response to receipt of an input from a user to change one or more portions of a default configuration.

Intel has once again changed the design of its processor badge and rating system lineup. The new, very sleek design looks very stylish and brings a
fresh design to the badges, since the last design change. The new badge system brings a rating system to the chips out of five stars (being the best
performance) to one star (being the lowest in performance) to help consumers purchase the best computer for their money in major retailers like Best
Buy. The badges will help consumers "distinguish between Centrino, Core, Celeron, Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad" said Intel spokesman Bill Calder.

07.04.2009SIRIUS XM - Channel Lineups Now Mostly Merged
SIRIUS XM, the near fully merged satellite radio company, has announced a combined channel lineup. Thursday morning, SIRIUS XM announced a combined
lineup where XM subscribers had some of the most popular SIRIUS channels, and SIRIUS subscribers now have XM channels, all included in the base
subscriber package. This is different than the offer SIRIUS and XM offered subscribers a few months ago, the "Best Of" packages, which included a
handful of popular channels from the once competing alternative for a few more dollars per month. SIRIUS subscribers have a base channel lineup of
around 137 channels, and XM subscribers have near 242 (note that XM has several more generic sport channels which help make the difference).

29.02.2008PINNED: WLM Build 566 Comming
Soon
Remember that little talk
about how the 562 build of
Windows Live Messenger was
just a preview; well here
comes the bride... I mean the
build. Build 566 of WLM is to
be released on February 28th
according to the WLM team
blog.
The
build will feature some
noticeable updates, mainly the
layout of the Contact List,
the tabs have now been
repositioned inside the main
window, the spacing between
each contact has been reduced
to allow more contacts to be
viewable in the window (= less
scrolling) and the avatar
preview and display
name/personal messages boxes
are finally back to the left
side again.
A
few of the minor updates
include the fact that the
menus are now only available
through the drop down menu,
meaning you can no longer
expand or minimize the window
frame like before. Also, the
ink/type tabs in the
conversation window have been
moved to the right side closer
to your display picture.
It has also been
announced that the WLM team is
working on new status icons
that both look good and show
the status at the same
time.

28.02.2006War breaks out between AdBlock Plus and NoScript
A quiet war has broken out between the authors of AdBlock Plus and NoScript and money is on the table. Both are trying to outdo each other by
disabling each other's functionality. The issue at stake is NoScript's behavior of showing a changelog window whenever it gets a new update,
which of late has been updated rather frequently. And unsurprisingly, that changelog window is filled with ads that generate revenue for NoScript.
AdBlock Plus on the other hand is commited to blocking ads regardless of where they are from; and this has treaded on the tail of the author of
NoScript.

03.05.2009Microsoft Expands Bureaucracy,
Crowns MSN King
Microsoft's
reorganization means a new
focus in its product lineup
and a broad definition of
organizational
"streamlining."
As part
of Microsoft's reorganization
announcement Tuesday, the
company crowned MSN and
services as the new kings in
its product
lineup.
And,
although the reorganization
was described as a
streamlining, it added another
layer of bureaucracy to a
company already leaking
employees as it creaks under
burgeoning middle management,
according to analysts.
"What Microsoft
has created are three super
groups, a new layer of
organizational bureaucracy,"
said Joe Wilcox, an analyst at
Jupitermedia Corp. "The seven
divisions will stay the same
and retain their own profit
and loss. ??? Still, we now
have three presidents, which
we didn't have before."..

22.09.2005Lo and behold, the Internet Explorer 8 toolbar
Long Zheng: First, a few words about the following screenshot. To be perfectly clear, this is not an original image. The window and its contents
(address bar, tab, window title, page content) have been heavily recomposited to better fit in a smaller image size as well as to obscure any traces
where this might have come from. I did not take the screenshot nor do I have access to the beta (so no emails please but do send bribes regardless).
Having said that, I can easily vouch for its authenticity...

02.03.2008Nvidia Plans to Add Another Graphics Card into GTX200 Lineup
In a bid to better compete against ATI Radeon HD 4870 graphics card, Nvidia Corp. plans to add another product into the GeForce GTX 200-series lineup.
Few details are now clear, however, another card in the family will almost surely make Nvidia’s products more competitive in the lineup.
Currently Nvidia and its add-in-board partners sell two versions of the GeForce GTX 200: the premium-class GTX 280 with 240 shader processors
(SPs), 80 texture units (TUs), 32 render back ends (RBEs) and 1GB of GDDR3 memory connected using 512-bit interface as well as high-end GTX 260 with
192 SPs, 64 TUs, 28 RBEs and 896MB of GDDR3 memory connected using 448-bit interface. The GeForce GTX 280 has GPU clocked at 602MHz, SPs operating at
1296MHz and memory working at 2214MHz, whereas the GeForce GTX 260 is clocked at 576MHz, 1242MHz and 1998MHz, respectively.
Already in
September the company plans to add another board into the lineup, which will have the same clock-speeds with the GTX 260 model, but with 216 SPs, 72
TUs, 30 RBEs and 896MB of GDDR3 memory connected using 448-bit interface.
