This was on digg (four times, apparently), so I’m sure EVERYONE has seen it, but none the less, if you missed it you absolutely have to watch this video describing the origin of Ctrl-Alt-Del. Bill Gates gets snapped bad, he looks like he is going to punch the guy. Watch – [via Digg, Google Video]

I have been quite busy with CeBIT, as well as some other projects, these last couple of days, so I have been quite bad with updating the blog. Sorry folks, my bad. Something interesting to note though – I was looking through my feed statistics just then, and by a rather large margin, Google Desktop [...]

Microsoft has released an update to the Windows Live Messenger (formally MSN Messenger) beta, with some nice UI upgrades as well as some tweaks under the hood.

Talk about your simplified interfaces – check out search.live.com (Microsoft’s replacement for the Current MSN search) – there is nothing but a Vista-looking box until you actually start a search. When it does reveal itself to you, Windows Live Search does look pretty nice though. And we all thought Google was minimalist when it launched, [...]

I just threw what is being touted as the new standard feed icon on to the sidebar of this blog – the little orange box with the radio waves. I’m all for a standard in this department, as much as I don’t really like the look of the icon, but will use it to (as [...]

Maybe this is old news, but I just realized that I can switch between tabs in Firefox by holding down the middle-click (press on the scroll wheel) and clicking either the left or right mouse button. Genius…

I would just like to clear something up: I am not a Microsoft hater. Some people have taken my post about the Xbox 360 looking like a Dell as me just searching for an opportunity for some Microsoft bashing – this is simply not the case. Not only am I a happy Windows XP user [...]

I can’t help but link to this video on YouTube, absolutely hilarious – Natalie Portman on SNL. There is no nudity, and the swears are bleeped, but none-the-less it probably isn’t safe for work.
