While some have questioned the viability of full-length video content on small screens, it appears that Sprint Nextel is concerned with none of that. The wireless provider on Monday launched a new service that will allow its cellular users to view full-length television shows, movies, concerts, and specials.
Sprint has called on MSpot, a California-based mobile entertainment company founded last year, to provide the service. Subscribers with compatible video cell phones will be able to add the feature to their wireless plans for an additional $6.95 uSD per month.

Hardening Windows XP Professional
Windows XP has considerably more functionality than Windows 2000. With this functionality come more services and more potential security holes. Some of the measures undertaken by IST to reduce the risk are outlined in the extracts below. These are the security-related sections IST follows when building a Windows XP image for distribution within Academic Support.
NOTE: Most of these changes require you to sign on as an administrator.
The first and most important change to be applied is to set a password on all user accounts. Next it is very strongly advised that you do not log on with an administrative account but rather a ?User? or ?Power User? account.

19.08.2009Free video-editing software
Peter Butler: One of the most frequent questions I get from
CNET Download.com users is
"What free software can I use to
edit
video?" If I didn't respond to you personally, it's likely because there's not an easy answer. It depends on what type of video you have, and
what you want to do with it.
Let's start with the basics. If you didn't know, you likely already have
Windows Movie Maker, which was
included with
Windows XP Service Pack 2,
and recently beefed up for Windows Vista.
The XP version of Movie Maker is adequate for putting together clips into larger
videos, adding simple transitions, and making basic edits, but I can't recommend the experience. The
review on CNET Download.com is overly harsh, but it
encapsulates several problems you may encounter.

23.04.2008Windows Scenic: Windows 7s Ribbon-based UI platform

Wave 3 Movie Maker and
leaked screenshot of Windows
7’s Paint application is any indication. They are both built with one and the same UI framework.
Several months ago
there were indications
Microsoft was working on an
Office 2007 Ribbon-inspired interface for Windows 7 which at the time sounded bizarre and is still today. How it is implemented in
“Scenic” is literally stripping the Ribbon out of Office. In fact so literal Scenic’s DLLs include resources from Office 2007 Beta 2
and the existence of a “Ribbon menu” as noted below...

18.09.2008Microsoft to simplify downgrades from Vista to XP
Microsoft is simplifying the

to provide "downgrade"
rights from Windows Vista to
Windows XP for their
customers.
Microsoft
will implement the first of
the policy changes for its
Gold Certified (top-tier) OEM
partners within the next
couple of weeks. The company
will streamline
downgrade-rights policies and
procedures for the broader
channel somewhat later, said
John Ball, general manager of
Microsofts U.S. Systems Group.
Under current
licensing terms, Microsoft
allows customers buying PCs
preloaded with Windows Vista
Ultimate and Vista Business to
roll back to Windows XP until
they are ready to make the
move to Vista. For OEMs, the
process via which these rights
can be activated has been
quite cumbersome, Ball
acknowledged...

07.06.2008Microsoft Extends Life of Windows XP
Microsoft Corp. said Thursday it will keep selling a version of Windows XP for use on a new breed of low-cost computers for at least two years longer
than the older operating system will be available on mainstream PCs.
The software maker said Windows XP Home will be available through June
2010, or for a year beyond the release of the next version of Windows, for computers like Intel Corp.'s Classmate PC and ASUSTek Computer
Inc.'s Eee PC. Those machines have smaller hard drives, less memory and slower processors than most Windows computers sold today, and most would
have a hard time running the bulkier Windows Vista.
Microsoft had planned to stop selling most versions of XP at the end of June 2008, with
exceptions for small computer-building shops and PCs sold in developing countries. But surprising demand in developed countries for what it calls
ultra-low-cost personal computers prompted Redmond-based Microsoft to extend that deadline.
