Many citizens might notice the construction digital road signs on the side of the road while driving, indicating important information such as road
closures or traffic delays, but what if the sign included information such as "Zombies ahead" or "this sign has been hacked". (image courtesy of
i-hacked.com) These digital road signs can be compromised as easily as breaking into them. A viral video shows the possibility of future sign
hacking with a laptop and a Nokia N95. A user has posted pictures of how to break into the digital road signs on www.i-hacked.com, teaching users how
to access and change the sign information.

26.01.2006Mobility to reign at world's No.2 computer show
Electronics firms will
showcase their latest
whizz-bang gadgets, many in
some of the smallest computers
ever, as they try to push
recovery into higher gear this
week at Taiwan's Computex,
the world's No.2 computer
fair.
As the line
separating PCs and consumer
gadgets continues to blur,
Computex has come to look less
like a computer show and
increasingly reflects the PC
industry's diversification
into consumer electronics.
The focus this year
is likely to be on
ultra-portability and wireless
connectivity, as consumers
demand more mobility from
their computing devices.
Portability is nothing
new, but has driven developers
to make PCs smaller, smarter
and more powerful.
Next-generation gadgets try to
be a jacks-of-all-trades, with
features allowing users to do
everything from navigating on
the road with global
positioning systems to surfing
the Web over wireless

03.06.2007Windows Embedded road map may bypass Vista
The planned successor to the embedded version of Windows XP, due from Microsoft Corp. two years from now, may bypass Windows Vista and instead be
based on the oft-maligned operating system's own successor, which is codenamed Windows 7.
Microsoft had indicated last fall that
the replacement for Windows XP Embedded would use Vista as its core operating system. But in an interview last week, Ilya Bukshteyn, director of
marketing for the Windows Embedded product line, said there is a good chance that the next embedded OS codenamed Quebec will instead be engineered
around Windows 7.
"To date, we are certainly working with Vista," Bukshteyn said. But, he added, "if there is an opportunity
to get newer technologies in faster, and the customers want it, we may skip Vista."

15.04.2008Announcing the Windows Vista Coach Tour
Nick White has written up a
blog entry regarding a road
trip planned between January
16 and 24, 2007. The trip is
regarding the "Wow" starts
now campaign for Microsoft
Windows Vista.
"I
and a few Windows community
influencers will hop on a
custom-wrapped Windows Vista
bus and visit major cities on
the East coast of the United
States: Nashville, Lexington,
Cincinnati, Columbus,
Pittsburgh, Philadelphia,
Baltimore, Washington DC,
Charlotte, Savannah,
Jacksonville, Orlando,
Gainesville, Atlanta and
places in between. We'll then
return to Nashville to wrap up
the tour."
You can
catch the Windows guys in the
cities as well as on the road.
Why would you want to? First
off, there will be a custom
designed coach bus based
around the Windows Vista
"energy" theme (Vista's
default wallpaper). This
isn't just Microsoft we're
talking about; AMD will be
part of the branding too. The
coach will be equipped with
free Wi-Fi so that you can
fully utilize, in the very
comfortable lounge area, the
numerous systems running
Windows Vista. An Xbox 360
will be present along with
refreshments, not that you
won't have anything to do:
the team is only too happy to
answer your Windows Vista
questions.
Secondly, features such as
Ultimate Extras, speech
recognition, Tablet
functionality, and the way
Media Center works with the
Xbox 360 as an extender will
all be showed off. Thirdly,
and what people are probably
most interested in, there will
be various prizes to give
away. Videos and still photos
of the trip will be available
on the Windows Vista Team Blog
on a day-to-day basis. For
those who already have the
Vista Sidebar, a gadget will
be available for tracking the
group on the road.

16.01.2007The end of the road for Yugo
The Yugo, a car my family had as I grew up in Sarajevo has ceased production. This technologically "innovative" and cheap car from the early
1980's has not changed much in design, but consumer customization and the technology being implemented by its drivers launched the modern
"pimping"
of cars. Production of the car has officially ended after almost 30 years. Just like the Lada and the Skoda, the Yugo was
often ridiculed. Apparently Yugos came complete with heated rear windows to keep your hands warm when the car needed a push - just one of many jokes
inspired by its questionable quality. There are cars with spoilers and television screens.

Quickly find your privacy settings on Windows Live
Since Windows Live got updated to Wave 3, we saw Microsoft expanding into the field of Social Networking. It introduced the concept of Profiles,
where you are able to show off what you want to show to others, and also the Whats New feed which shows you what others want to show you. Every user
using Windows Live, including all Hotmail and Messenger users (who may or may not be aware of the new social networking side of Windows Live Wave 3),
now has a Profile. Although this is an exciting update for some, this update also caused some concern about privacy and user permissions what if you
dont want to show everyone else what youve been doing online?

Windows 8 is coming in 2012
According to the latest roadmap from Microsoft, it would appear that Windows 8 will arrive sometime in 2012. This would follow a three year product
cycle that would keep it in line with Vista and Windows 7 releases. The road map is clear about the targeted date and does not try to hide the fact
that the code name is "Windows 8". Little else is known about the OS other than its targeted date of release. Let the speculation begin. Image

Earlier last week, Mozilla updated the Firefox 3.7 wiki to show potential design changes for Firefox 3.7, and today, updated their wiki to show new
mock ups for Firefox 4.0 Windows designs. The designs are changed to fit better into Windows 7 - as they want to "embrace glass" which is a major
goal of Mozilla for the next Firefox release, as well as making them feel more a part of the OS. The designs also work on Windows Vista. A separate
design would be in place for lower versions of Windows. The images below show the ideas that the Mozilla team has, for some potential tab layouts/UI
