It’s still “up in the air” as to which will have gotten more attention… Since October 22nd was the actual release date for Windows 7, I suspect that Windows 7 will get a bigger “buzz” for the next few days.  But, tomorrow is another day, I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.  (more…)

Microsoft Outlook Malware Scam

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

Have you received any Malware lately?  Are you sure?  It seems that with each passing day we are faced with new threats.  Gilda Radner used to play a character called Roseanne Rosannadanna that used to say “It just goes to show ya, if it ain’t one thing, it’s another’.  It seems that there are a never-ending flow of creativity as it applies to screwing with our computers and the productivity that we hope to gain from them.  And this installment doesn’t fall short in bringing you another one of which you should be aware.  (more…)

Bing & Ping: An Easier Way to Share?

Sunday, October 4th, 2009

When Microsoft released its new Bing decision engine this past June, it began pouring a huge amount of money and effort into making Bing a strong competitor to Google.

They’ve spent millions on ad campaigns, made a landmark deal with Yahoo to power its search and PPC ads, and have lured a bunch of big-name companies to participate in their Bing Shopping “Cash Back” program. (more…)
