Vista or not to Vista  |
|
It's hard to put Windows Vista in perspective. On the one hand, the product has been in development for over five years, which means that Vista had one of the longest development cycles in the 20+ year history of Windows. Paradoxically, Windows Vista is both revolutionary and evolutionary. While it includes modern OS features, such as a new hardware-based graphical user interface (GUI), Vista will also feel like familiar territory, for the most part, to anyone that's already familiar with Windows XP. The sheer size and scope of Windows Vista makes it difficult to review, to digest, and to understand. If you step back too far, it doesn't look very impressive at all: It's like XP with a spit-shine. But if you get too close, it's easy to get lost in the seemingly never-ending lists of new features. Yep, it's a major Windows version all right. And now it's complete.

What is Spyware and Adware??
Spyware refers to software that monitors your Internet or computer access in the background, usually without you knowing that it is working and had ever been installed in the first place. Some spyware may be installed to purely invade your privacy, report your Internet travels to someone else, record passwords and credit card numbers as they are keyed in, or display advertisements geared towards your activities.
Adware, which often is synonymous with spyware, is spyware that monitors your access for the intent of delivering advertisements. Spyware may display pop-up advertisements no matter what software you are using, but most spyware instead hooks into your web browser.

 This Weeks Tech Tip:
Important: Battery Life Some digital cameras quickly drain batteries--especially alkaline batteries--which can be expensive and annoying. Battery life and cost often aren't related; some inexpensive cameras have great battery life, and some expensive ones use up a charge quickly. Either way, it's a good idea to buy spare batteries or consider cameras with rechargable batteries | | Blog, Blogging & Bloggers
What Are Blogs? Like most online creations, the exact definition of "blogs" is still very much in flux. At its very basic, blogs — or "Web logs" — are literally online diaries with articles, writings, photos, Web links or other entries made by the blogs' creators, or "bloggers." | |
