An Isreal company, Camera , has some serious plans!  A camera that can “see through walls”. I seriously don’t want to be living in a country blanketed with security cameras every other meter right now… Evidently, something like this has already sparked enough interest to generate the company $14,000,000 (yes, 6 zeros) (more…)

2007-01-15 21:29:01
Apparently, MINI in the USA, has setup up billboards in 4 US cities (Chicago, New York, Miami and San Francisco) and asked MINI owners living in those cities if they would be interested in joining a pilot program. It seems that these drivers will receive an RFID enabled keyfob; and whenever they zoom past such billboards, a personalized message (decided by the driver upon applying for the keyfob) will flash on the billboard! Talk about use of technology for innovative advertising!! (more…)

2007-01-15 21:29:01
Well, I have actually not been paying much attention to this blog for a few months now; primarily as a result of certain events occuring: I was becoming lazy… yes, I admit, me, lazy! Well, the reality is that as I kept adding multiple feeds to my netvibes start page, the time I actually had at my disposal for blog-updates was slowly being consumed by my having more and more feeds to read! Exams are yet again around the corner. Strangely enough, I think there should be some new law having the same merits as the famous Sod’s Law (a.k.a. Murphy’s or Finagle’s Law); something on the lines of “the nearer you draw to exam time, the more time seems to ‘virtually appear’ for non-study-related activities” (do note the emphasis on ‘virtually appear’)… and in such time, I shall now start updating this blog again… along with a multitude of other dreams and ideas, on the lines of actually coding my own blog, that in realit...

So… are you bored with the way your Wind ows XP theme looks? I mean, seriously, who likes that yesterday-looking fischer-price theme? It’s appalling and disgusting!! I was personally very happy when MS New Zealand released the Royale theme… stolen from Windows MCE of course, but likewise, it was a refreshing change from the plastic looking options we had before… …now they have gone one step further and released a Zune theme. It is no shocker, yet it is always a pleasant change… personally though I see myself using this theme for around a week, after which I will resort to my usual minimalistic setup. Good day to all :o) p.s. for those of you who didn’t see the link hidden above… here it is again

It was bound to happen… there has been a plethora of lawsuits against other p2p networks on the net, and it seemed strange that nobody was trying to get a bite out of what is arguably the strongest p2p network used by veterans. The first torrent-related sentence has been penned… read more about it here…

THE END OF AN ERA Is our nice winchester-child spinning hard
2007-01-15 21:29:01
THE END OF AN ERA Is our nice winchester-child spinning hard drive nearing the end of its term? Will solid state technology ever take over our mechanical drive? Seriously food for thought… UNEASYsilence has a post about the Kanguru 32Gb Flash Drive that seriously gets some heads turning… but hold on to your seats… there ALSO a 64Gb version. If this ever kicks off (which it will) then the noisy spinning drive clunking away on our computer chassis has its days counted. Very soon, the only mechanical peripherals inside our pc will be the fan and our optical drive… and something tells me their days are also numbered.

It amazes me that many people seem to encounter this problem

It amazes me that many people seem to encounter this problem when using a theme other than the standard Windows XP or Classic themes. Problem : When switching theme, some programs; in my case all flavours of Visual Studio 6/2003/2005 and Opera browser, seem to insist on using the ‘very disappointing’ Fixedsys typeface rather than the more pleasing System Font of choice. From VS2003 Font P… Solution: Whilst there does exist one solution that I have come across on-line for this problem, this didn’t seem slick enough for me… hence I ventured to my display properties to check out what my current system font was… …and lo-and-behold… From VS2003 Font P… Turns out that the problem is that there is no system font selected after all… so the quick fix is… From VS2003 Font P… And voila… problem solved! From VS2003 Font P… —————— ; I hope at least SOME...

Today I received the much anticipated DVD release of Micro soft's Office 2007 Beta 2… and in all honesty I got all the more excited when I discovered what they actually gave me… here goes… Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007 {Word, Excel, etc…} Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer 2007 Microsoft Office Visio Professional 2007 {A must have for me} Microsoft Office Project Professional 2007 {Another must have} Microsoft Office OneNote 2007 Microsoft Office Groove 2007 Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 {Standard and Enterprise Editions} Microsoft Office Groove Server 2007 Microsoft Office Project Server 2007 All in all… that is one hell of a software collection to go through… so I am going to make this as painful as possible and start off with just posting screenshots. I am starting off with Microsoft Office Access 2007 {a.k.a. version 12}… and I can assure that with these screenshots I am literally just 'skimming' the su...
