Posted by Stephen In News

Digital Hologram of Smart Grid Technology

This isn't really computer related, but I thought this was very neat. See a digital hologram of Smart Grid technology come to life in your hands. How it works is you print off a document on their website and use a webcam from your computer. It displays a digital hologram on your computer screen. You can even blow into the speaker and the hologram fans spin faster. There is also one with solar panels too. http://ge.ecomagination.com/ Be sure to checkout my Go Green computer page too. www.gwhizpc.com/green.html

Windows 7 RC set for May lift-off

To help push Microsoft through the recession, expunge memories of Vista, conquer the netbook market, improve PC users' lives in general or, who knows –think positive, people – maybe all of the above, Windows 7 continues its hectic schedule toward launch. The Windows 7 Center blog reports that the Release Candidate (RC) version of Microsoft’s new OS –its dress rehearsal edition, and the last stop before a commercial build goes to PC makers – is now due in late May. The blog’s lead – a translated Russian post – seems hairy. But the W7 Center is part of a close-knit set of blogs ...

Windows 7 bug fixes to include multitouch zoom for IE

After hearing of the thousands (hell, two thousands!) of bug fixes and enhancements that Windows 7 users will be seeing as they make the journey from Beta to Release Candidate, you'd have thought that we'd heard the last of all that for a bit. But not so! It seems that Microsoft's own Engineering Windows 7 blog will be letting the improvements trickle out as they are addressed. So brace yourself for some exciting plot twists, such as improvements to the taskbar thumbnail overflow and various jump lists, the trimming of sound schemes to enhance system performance, and our personal favorite, ...

Google Discloses Privacy Glitch

Google disclosed Saturday that it shared a very small number of online documents with users who weren’t authorized to see them. The privacy glitch, caused by a software bug, affected just a tiny fraction of documents — an estimated less than .05% — wrote Jennifer Mazzon, Google Docs product manager, on a corporate blog. Google notified users affected by the bug on Friday and reversed the mistake, she said. The bug hit users who changed their sharing settings on multiple presentations and documents at once, causing Google to share those documents with other users with whom the document owner had shared a ...

How to Delete Accounts from Any Website

Deleting accounts you've created on Facebook, MySpace, AOL, and elsewhere on the Web isn't always easy. Here are the details on leaving 23 services behind. The words "I wish I could quit you" take on a whole new meaning when you want out of a relationship with an online service. Sure, you once thought you and Facebook or MySpace would be together forever, but eventually terms of service change, end-user license agreements mature, and, well, you're just not in the same place anymore. Sadly, not all Web sites and social networks are created equal when it comes to breaking up. With some, ...

DropBox – A great way to share files on multiple computers.

DropBox has to be one of the easiest ways to share files on multiple computers. After you install DropBox, there is a folder called “My Dropbox” located in your documents folder. When you place a file in that folder, it will be uploaded to the web and synchronized across multiple computers, if you have DropBox setup for them too. You can also create a folder and share files with friends. We have a local community college in my area that is using DropBox to turn in classroom assignments. The great thing is that it works on Windows, Mac and Linux. As an ...

Eee PC-in-a-Keyboard Coming Soon

If you can fit a whole computer, keyboard and screen into a tiny, fold-up 7" box, why not squeeze one into a keyboard? And while you're there, what about adding a little touchscreen in the space normally inhabited by the number pad? What's that? Asus did it already? By jove, it did! Look at that! The Eee PC Keyboard is a netbook stuffed inside a keyboard: 1.6GHz Atom processor, 1GB RAM and either an 8GB or a 16GB solid state drive for storage. The touch screen is a five-incher and can be used for navigation and display. Should you feel the ...

Facebook Users at Risk as Hackers Target Site

Facebook users are at risk from malicious hackers targeting the site, online security experts warned. Account holders have been hit by several different hacking attempts in the last week, as thieves try to capitalize on the trust users place in the service. Rik Ferguson, senior security adviser at Tokyo-based Trend Micro, said that Facebook, which has more than 174 million active users worldwide, had been hit by four separate "rogue applications" and a virus targeted at users of the site.

Marvell’s Plug Computer: A tiny, discrete, fully functional 5 watt Linux server

Analysis Opinion - Marvell announced today a new type of computer. It's about the size of an AC to DC converting wall outlet plug, but is really a full SoC with a 1200 MHz CPU, built-in 512 MB Flash, 512 MB DRAM, Gigabit Ethernet and USB 2.0 support. It runs small versions of Linux, consumes about 5 watts max while allowing remote users (presumably those authorized by the owner) to access data stored on the device from remote locations including local intranets or over the Internet. The $49 device opens up a wide array of extremely low-power, low-volume, always on ...

40 amazing photos of Microsoft’s New American Home

While we were in Vegas earlier this month covering CES, we got a sneak peek at the New American Home, a posh house on town outskirts that Microsoft and a few other select tech companies were involved in designing. Built on the same block where Wayne Newton lives, the half-acre home has tons of whole-house electronics, including 10 Toshiba HDTVs, a 16-zone Nuvo distributed-audio system, and Anthem A/V processors — all controlled by Lifeware software that lets you access it from anywhere. You can start your bathtub (Kohler, of course), pick what music you want to listen to, and fire ...
