In an interview with Billboard Magazine, Universal Music Group (UMG) CEO Doug Morris claims portable digital music players are “repositories for stolen music and they all know it”. This, he mused, was justification for Microsoft paying royalties for the privilege to sell its Zune device. Something here just doesn’t make sense to me. The amount [...]
In case you missed it, Mobile ESPN, or as I call it, “The Ocho”, announced it will be shutting down operations in December of this year. I guess my only question is, what took so long? This ideas was doomed from the beginning. You had to know they were in trouble when they started airing [...]
Last night I received an invitation to test the beta of Google’s Blogger platform. After a painless few clicks of the mouse, I’m on the cutting edge Google blog hosting, albeit months after the initial release. Looks like much custom code was lost on the way over. I had forgotten how much I had customized [...]
The blogosphere has been a buzz recently with rumblings of an “iPod killer” from Microsoft. The guys over at Engadget have confirmed the existence of said product and have added their two cents based on information from their sources. Admittedly, I am an unabashed Apple supporter and, the Zune, as it’s being refered to, sounds [...]
I love the new Aero UI. I thought the transparency would kill the experience, but, rather, it actually adds to the experience. System Restore will take down even the most formidable hard drives in a matter of hours. It seems like every time you click something, a restore point is made. Does anyone know of [...]
To quote the Microsoft Windows Vista homepage, the publicly available Windows Vista Beta 2 is meant for “…IT professionals, developers, and technology enthusiasts”. While I am certainly not an IT professional nor developer; I am definitely a technology enthusiast. So I decided it was high time for my machine to experience something new and downloaded [...]
One of the most widely used, if not the most widely used, word processing applications is Microsoft Word. In Word 2007 Beta 2, Microsoft did not rest on their laurels, instead including several very useful new features and increasing Word’s overall usability considerably. Let’s look at some of the most useful new additions to Microsoft [...]
All I want to know is this: is anyone going to shell out this much money for any OS? I know this is the Ultimate edition, afterall, but when is too far? What is the most you would pay for an OS, regardless of platform, etc.? I’d love to hear opinions on this. Leave a [...]
As I mentioned several days ago, Microsoft publicly released the second beta of Office 2007 last week at their WinHEC conference. I, like many of my early-adopting, sneezing peers, raced to download, install and test some or all of the components of the coming Office suite. I wrote that my early impressions were those of [...]
My first impression of Microsoft Office 2007 Beta 2 is actually really positive, despite the fact that I had very low expectations. I’ve now been playing with Outlook, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Access and Publisher and am amazed at what they’ve done with the user interface. I never expected to see something like this from Microsoft. [...]
