Microsoft Pledges Windows XP Support Through 2014
Tags: microsoft, windows
Looks like good news for WinXP users. Microsoft has pledged to keep supporting the soon to be retired software package through to 2014. That's a full 13 years after the operating system was initially released. Microsoft senior VP Bill Veghte has promised that they will provide security patches "and other critical updates" for Windows XP until April, 2014. That's great news because I couldn't even imagine being without my XP.
It also seems MS is supporting program that allows users to down grade their current version of Vista to XP. Apparently in their liscence agreeement if you purchase one version of their software you are allowed to use a previous version.

If you just have to have a constant source of music streaming into your house or office 24/7 look no further than the Logitech Squeezebox Duet. With this internet radio gadget you can tune into thousands of internet radio stations. Or you can play songs from your personal collection, tune in to thousands of Internet radio stations, or connect to online services such as Pandora and Rhapsody. The multi-room controller allows you to browse, select and play songs from the palm of your hand. 2.4-inch color display, convenient scroll wheel, familiar menus and intuitive buttons make navigation easy.
A wise man once told me that nobody gives anything away for free and you know, he was right. Looks like the cheaper $199 3 Gig Apple iPhone isn't as cheap as it was being claimed. An article on CNN yesterday broke down the costs between the two iPhone plans and you aren't saving any money with this version. The 3 gig iphone is $200 cheaper to buy than the 8 gig version but you have to sign a 2 year service plan.
Caught this new mode of transportation in the local paper yesterday and I had to google it to bring it to you. An electric unicyle might just beat the high price of gas. They are calling it the new Segway, just a little bit cooler looking. No word on production dates although the inventor was hoping that it would retail for around $6,000. He stated that he wanted to keep the price low. Just because people are willing to go green doesn't mean it should cost them an arm and a leg.
It's the emidemy of just how lazy we have become. A spray bottle that is motorized. Actucally not a bad idea if it can get that last little bit out of the bottom that always causes carpel tunnel. No pumping ins needed and you should be able to do all of your household plants in no time at all, leaving you plenty of time to do your other chores or exercises. Why blow out a finger right?
If you use your Sony PSP as you main source media player help could be on the way. Photo-Fast was recently showing off their memory adapter that can boots your PSP's memory to 32 GB of storage.
It's entirely waterproof, silent and contaminant proof. "The sealed and rigid surface is ideal for industrial, marine, and medical use, as well as other applications where moisture, cleaning, and durability are a consideration." It is also practical for court rooms where nobody wants to hear the noise of an old keyboard clacking away while both lawyers lie through their teeth. Some of the features of the
