How Google Works - In less than a decade, Google evolved from a two-man enterprise to a multibillion-dollar corporation. How did a school project become the most influential search engine on the Web?

There appears to be no 'move' files in the public folder. Like, I should perhaps move all the wallpaper to a wallpaper folder and programs to programs etc. Did not think of it till Pam Tiffin. Finding out how the beta works. --- So, no housekeeping.

It's time for some straight talk on the subject of pareidolia, defined by psychologists as the human tendency to perceive meaningful shapes or sounds where there are none. Common examples of pareidolia include the man in the moon, hidden messages in recordings, and the face of the Virgin Mary on tree trunks, underpass walls and grilled cheese sandwiches. Read more...

Windows Horizon Business and Xtreme [Windows 7]

Thu, 31 Jan 2008 03:43:35 GMT

First images (face plate) Windows Business Horizon and Windows Xtreme Horizon [Windows 7]

Made with the great Ulead PhotoImpact (Corel has bought it now) It's a bit flaky at times - I thought MS might buy it and fix it. But not to be. (You know, like put it in Windows as the graphics program :)

I learnt a lot about the graphics program by doing this, stuff I had never used before. PhotoImpact is so easy to use on the surface, but you can also delve deeper into it, and do some surprising things. It's just a little unstable to be retail released software in my opinion. But you cannot get all the bugs out of any software.

Don't touch me! - Windows Touch Technology

Thu, 31 Jan 2008 03:41:19 GMT

On December 11, 2007, Hilton Locke, who worked on the Tablet PC team at Microsoft reported that Windows 7 will have new touch features.

“I will say that if you are impressed by the "touch features" in the iPhone, you'll be blown away by what's coming in Windows 7. Now if only we could convince more OEMs that Windows Touch Technology is going to drive their sales.”

No, no no — no, no ,no no, no. Just because you are clever enough to do something does not mean everyone wants it. Flip 3D is great in Vista, as long as you assign the shortcut to a mouse button for quick selection. [ C:\Users\Name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\Window Switcher (2).lnk ] But sometimes you still have to go back and forth a bit. Try tapping the (default setting) mouse wheel and all your open windows will display on screen.

Touch screens are for public places.

(Look, I appreciate your work and everything — but stop it!)

Does the screen have to go back to glass? Are fingerprints a constant problem? Will people be off work with the new illness of 'tennis elbow' when not even a tennis lover?

Reach out and touch some one ... (Oh God, there's your new slogan {groan} )

Can you touch an LCD screen? Will you get dead pixels? Oh! You want us to buy a 'touch' friendly monitor. From Microsoft. If I had a mouse for every dollar they have made. (I just bought another Microsoft mouse incidentally) They will have to get something back for the drop in keyboard and mouse sales, won't they?

Isn't the iPhone piling up on retail shelves and gathering dust?

Touch - Not on my Horizon

Windows Horizon - That Windows 7 guy

Sat, 26 Jan 2008 09:30:16 GMT

Windows Horizon blog (dummy windows 7)

In the spirit of 'no child should go to bed without a bunny', the psychological health and wellbeing of the campus at Microsoft and the world in general - eyecandy to cling to.

Windows Horizon for Premium and Windows Sunrise for Basic....

(No, they are not the names I came up with, but come from a suggestion on the Windows Vista Forums ..)

For the health and well being of knowing somewhere, sometime, there's a box for you ... somewhere a box for you .. shiny and new.

Windows Horizon::

It starts with a whisper ...

... and builds to a crescendo!

No, don't tell us ... we don't want to know what it does ..

It costs a pittance ..

It does A LOT!

No, don't tell us ... we don't want to know what it does ..

You need an idea, a visual image, to cling to, through all those lonely, lonely nights ...

And here it is. When the code gets too much .. and the direction gets lost .. think of me -- your Windows Horizon ..

You need to put these posters up all over Microsoft, so when people walk into work they can point and shout - "That's what I'm doing .."

Just because it's a little white lie does not take from the final product when a 'real' hard box can be held in the hands. Don't confine everyone to years and years of just a mental image of the number "7".

And don't sue me, I'm a poor person, and the public likes poor persons.. (that's why Jennifer Love Hewitt hands out skin free healthy chicken breasts at Xmas to the homeless! Abet with long tongs and rubber gloves on.)

Besides I live in the most isolated capital city on earth and have a big metal gate with spikes on top, and two vicious guard dogs!

There may not be a lot of entries in this blog, because, well, nothing is happening, and that's good! Because I could use the rest.

Maybe I'll post MY Windows Horizon ...

AND -- please note, before I get deleted by MS, that I am already using a big part of Windows Horizon by using Windows Live -- and Live Writer..

So there!

Windows Horizon Live Wave 3

Kill me now ...

Can you get me an extra GB per month allowance from Telstra/BigPond? I only get 1 GB and that's barely enough to read news sites ... Next G wireless at home (not moving) account.

Microsoft???? Hello, halo, anybody there???? I won't use more than a few bytes, will I? (Live Wave 3)

itchy feet ? grab a box of windows horizon ..
