Ridiculous lawsuits filed with the RIAA and the MPAA
I can understand the fight for copyright, I can understand an artist trying to get paid for his work / art, I can even understand the record companies, that are making most of the money, but I can’t understand these cases of the RIAA and MPAA suing these people… I mean, come on, you can do better…

Inside the home of the future…
Microsoft let’s us have a look inside their idea of the home of the future. Digital bits and bites everywhere, be it on the kitchen counter, giving instructions on how to bake that cake you want, letting you scan and upload a business card into your cell phone on the dinner table, or a dynamic, active wallpaper in the kids room – amazing.
and finally a video showing off some of he cool and amazing features.
All I can say is WOW… I can’t wait to see this become reality…

Microsoft One Note & Dropbox
I just love to use Microsoft One Note for any information I need to keep. It is easy to use, has tons of features, from simple to advanced.
In my One notes I keep all the needed information I want to take with to to the office, on my notebook and my home computer.
Using Dropbox I synchronize my one notes between all my computers and locations. Dropbox’s free account lets you synchronize 2 GB between all the computers you have it installed and gives you a web interface to get a file quickly without installing the client. Dropbox has clients for all popular platforms (Windows, Linux and Mac)
What is your system to synchronize and manage your information?

Wallpapers
Do you love customizing your computer as much as I do? I just have to change something every few days… Sometimes it’s the skin (using Windows Blinds), but most of the time I just change the wallpaper to freshen things up a bit… Here are some links to some nice wallpapers:
Noupe.com – 40 creative wallpapers
hongkiat.com – 26 gorgeous aurora and color spectrum wallpapers
hongkiat.com – 30 Impressive Color spectrum and rainbow wallpapers
Have fun!

Windows 7 RC1
Well, I downloaded it, burned it and installed it. I LOVE it. I love it even more than the BETA, it seems even snappier, faster and smoother. During the BETA I installed the 32 bit version and now I’m running 7 RC 1 64 bit.
The new taskbar is so much better than the previous versions.
Now you can add any folder to your libraries (My Music, My Pictures, etc). This is great as I have my stuff all over the place, some on a separated HDD, some on an external drive… Now I can manage my entire music collection from one single place
The new media player playing mode is like the previous use of tiny skins, but much better
And how about the new notification area? So clean, so good looking!
Bottom line:
I love it!
Want it? Head over to Microsoft’s Windows 7 page and download it!

Running a portable Ubuntu inside Windows
Yes, your read it right – Ubuntu inside Windows, not dual booting, not even a virtual machine.
If you are running a 32-bit version of XP, Vista or even Windows 7 (I keep hoping for a 64-bit version), you can give Portable Ubuntu a try. Portable Ubuntu will give you the top bar (you’ll recognize it if you have ever used ubuntu…) right in your windows environment.
It is very easy to use / run:
- Download it from here
- Extract it (execute the file you downloaded)
- Execute the “run_portable_ubuntu.bat” batch file in the directory you extracted it to. The initial loading takes some time (up to 30/40 seconds) but once it’s running it runs smooth and fast.
Basically this is a portable virtual machine that runs in seamless mode, meaning you can run both the host and the guest side by side.
This makes this Ubuntu a great portable OS to take with you on your disk on key, external HDD. After installing updates and adding a few programs, the size of the entire folder is still less than 2 GB.
