Windows 7’s many small changes add up a much better product
– the best version of Windows so far!
Faster and better, Windows 7 looks like vista and acts like vista, but works like windows 7. Finally an operating system without all those annoying pop-ups, there is actually a slider to set the degree of annoyance you want. Another obvious difference is that Windows 7 uses fewer resources. Overall it seems like Microsoft is on the right track of making a user friendly operating system.

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009A camera you can wear as a pendant to record every moment of your life!
Originally invented to help jog the memories of people with Alzheimer’s disease, it might one day be used by consumers to create “lifelogs” that archive their entire lives. Studies showed that reviewing the events of the day using SenseCam photos could help some people improve long-term recall.
Worn on a cord around the neck, the camera takes pictures automatically as often as once every 30 seconds. It also uses an accelerometer and light sensors to snap an image when a person enters a new environment, and an infrared sensor to take one when it detects the body heat of a person in front of the wearer. It can fit 30,000 images onto its 1-gigabyte memory.

Google to strike the heart of Microsoft.
Google is making its move. Promising a lightweight but fast operating system – Chrome OS.

Microsoft Announces Windows 7 Pricing
Friday, June 26th, 2009
Engadget is reporting pricing for Windows 7 and it a hefty upgrade cost. If you are upgrading from XP or Vista, at the minimum you will be spending $120 bucks for Windows Premium. For Windows Professional bring $200 big ones with you and if you go balls against the wall upgrade and want Windows Ultimate, it’s $220 bucks.
For those who cannot upgrade and need to purchase full versions, the pricing is $200, $300 and $319 respectively.
These prices are pretty outrageous and seem higher than ever. Is anyone going to wait in line for this? I may as well just order it from Amazon when I can. While I was going to upgrade to Windows 7 because of the positive reviews its been getting I’m not really in a hurry to plop down $200 bucks. Are you ok with the pricing?
A Look at Windows Mobile 6.5 and HTC Touch
Monday, February 16th, 2009
HTC (High Tech Computing, I know real original) has announced the new smartphone Touch Diamond 2 designed around the new Windows Mobile platform which uses touch technologies. Both Engadget and Gizmodo has a walkthrough video which actually shows some promise.
One of the issues I noticed as everyone else in the comments did too was the amount of lag while scolling. If it’s not too far off from release its possible they could get that figured out in time.
