winbeta.org - 23.10.2007Party like it's 1234567890
This is one of those tidbits only a true geek will appreciate. For those of us who are completely out of the Unix loop, the operating system measures
time by counting seconds from January 1, 1970. Needless to say, quite a few seconds have passed in the past 39 years and today, at 6:31:30 PM EST,
that magical number will reach the wonderfully sequential 1,234,567,890 mark. Yes, we all know this isn't something you'll go around
bragging about to your friends, but, for the inner geek in you, wait for that moment and just smile a bit. A angel may get it's wings or someone
may install a *nix client for the first time.

Archos has not been doing well of late and so they do need something good to wade off the competition. This will all seem to change on September 15th
when the Archos Android Tablet with HD playback and mobile internet will launch. According to Pocketables we can look forward to this device in
stores on September 15th. Up until now Android, Google's OS, was a smartphone only affair. Now the time is right for Android to start spreading
its wings on other gadgets. The new Archos tablet is a high-end device and is going to be called the Archos 5 Internet Tablet.

It sounds like the Office
live beta is inching ever
closer. The LiveSide blog has
posted information on what
could be one of the key
components of the Office
software-as-a-service add-ons
that Microsoft is readying: A
Web-based e-mail client known
as "Office Live Mail."

Redmondians are working on two

the difference being in the

allocated.
jcxp.net - 19.01.2006Calling All Windows Live Users
VOIP is the word on the
Windows Live front, as of
late. Microsoft already had
revealed that its next-gen
Windows Live Messenger
instant-messaging service will
include a Live Call

Music Player Siblings
It sounds like Microsoft has
another new small form-factor
device in the wings.
There's a Microsoft
music player/portable game
player device, code named
"XPlayer," that the company
is rumored to be developing.
The XPlayer
could use Transmeta chips,
folks are speculating. It's
not as clear what operating
system it will run, however.
Microsoft
definitely needs something to
shore up the forthcoming
Origami mini-Tablet systems;
analysts are giving the
recently unveiled ultramobile
PCs (UMPCs) a thumbs
down.

Sony took the covers off its new X series range of notebooks yesterday at a press event in London and Neowin was waiting in the wings for an early
hands on. The new X Series is incredibly light and slim, weighing just 0.78KG (including battery). It's hard to describe just how elegant and
slim this notebook is, the chasis measures no more than 13.9mm in width at any point across its body. It's so light that Sony is claiming the X
series is the "world's lightest laptop." Sony has designed this latest notebook for portability, performance and style. Marketed towards

neowin.net - 09.10.2009Change Your Windows 7 Media Center Background
Sarah Perez: Did you know you can change your Media Center background? Neither did I until I read this recent post. Although not officially a part of the Media
Center software, there is a way to do it. Its not the easiest thing in the world as it involves applying a new registry file and editing permissions.
But if those sorts of things are second nature to you, its definitely worth checking out the tutorial on this hack.
winbeta.org - 18.02.2009Hacking a Media Center DVD Library
Max Zuckerman: If you're like me, one of the inputs on your TV is your desktop or laptop computer. It's one of the best ways to surf the web or
share pictures and videos with others.
But my favorite feature, hands down, is the ability to have my entire DVD collection
available to me in a very intuitive and slick-looking interface all on my TV. The best part is I don't have to physically insert a DVD every time I
want to watch one. I can just browse my collection very easily all on my TV/monitor and hit "play!"
See how I set this all up
in my tutorial on
Channel 8.
