I continue enjoying snipping from george’s world today. He notes that Internet Explorer 8 is now a high priority update from Microsoft. I have updated servers today and noticed the same thing. Now the adoption rate of IE7 from IE6 wasn’t that significant at first but I don’t remember how they flagged IE7 vs. IE8. [...]

Web 2.0 Is OverGeek And Poke: Web 2.0 Is Over
Like yesterday where I joined the Microsoft Office 2007 SP2 announcement bandwagon, I’m joining in the chorus announcing the release of Microsoft Windows Vista SP2. Like I mentioned previously in my Microsoft Windows Vista sUACks post, I think Vista UAC sucks ass but the thing that frustrated me the most was the INCREDIBLY SLOW network [...]
What can a sampling of 100 applications and 8-million consumers on four platforms tell us about the smartphone application market? A Flurry Of Market Data I don’t want to draw any conclusions for you but basically, why develop for any other handheld platform but the iPhone?
I just started reading this blog and it touched a nerve today with this salient observation: According to one recent article, Windows 7 will provide a 29% reduction in the amount of clicks one will use for UAC. Interesting. I can reduce that number by 100%. Just turn the darn thing off! Problem solved. Windows [...]
I figure I’ll hop on the Office 2007 SP2 announcement train too. Microsoft Office 2007 SP2 is out today and I’ve already downloaded and installed it. I still have to reboot after this post so I don’t know how its going to stack up but I am looking forward to trying the native support for [...]
The Old New Thing has me addicted to a new site…Graphjams. Thanks Mr. Chen… It looks like there’s an entire Web site devoted to profound charts like this. For example, a graph of beer bottle distribution as a function of the number of bottles taken down and passed around. The Old New Thing : A [...]

From the Spit My Milk Out Department (better known as the DailyWTF): “This is from a Kroger in Troy, MI,” wrote Mike. “Perhaps it’s proof that Kroger is not lying when they say they are an equal opportunity employer?” Sponsor Appreciation, Cabling Confusion, Dividend Bling, & More – The Daily WTF I love homo humor.

Oh the irony… Still good tips though. Scraping RSS feeds or stealing entire websites is the bane of any webmaster. Unfortunately, there’s not an easy way to keep RSS feeds from being scraped or used. However, there are certain things you can do to make the scraped content work for you. … 1. Use absolute [...]
This was worth stealin…I mean hat tipping. I’ve been using it already. I am setting my scroll speed as high as it will go so I can skim Google Reader, for example, much faster and then slow down on the stuff I want to read. Ever wanted to slow down the speed when using the [...]
John Cook on TechFlash asks the question “Did Microsoft overpay for Facebook?” Good question. Calls into account a bunch of figures and possible valuations. However, notice that’s not what I clipped. Facebook has enough cash in the bank– about $200 million — to last for two years, VentureBeat’s Anthony Ha reports. Did Microsoft overpay for [...]
Looks like that sly dog Hawking was just faking… Physicist/mathematician Stephen Hawking has improved after spending the night at a hospital near his home in Cambridge, England, and the 67-year-old’s condition was described as “comfortable.” Hawking’s first wife, Jane, was quoted that she believed his illness was no longer life-threatening. A spokesperson for Cambridge University, [...]
