GNC-2009-10-30 #523 Now on Blip and YouTube
I explain in detail the process I am now going to use to post the video portion of the show on Blip and YouTube as added gateways. The Audio will always be up hours before the video will be, so the publishing schedule is going to stay exactly the same. I am committed to trying to improve the video product
Windows XP to 7 upgrade step by step
I was very pleased with this install though. No only were all of the mentioned features there instantly after install, the new version of FF remembered all of the tabs I had open under XP when I shut down. I had left a number of tabs open as what a I though would be an unfair test of the upgrade and was pleasantly surprised with the result.
The Winbook XP5
I've had a few requests for a picture of the Winbook XP5 from my last post. I was unable to find one online anywhere, at least, not with any detail. So, I took a couple of pictures. If you click on them, they will take you to a bigger shot. The measurements are about 10" wide, 9" deep, and 2"
Happy Birthday Bill Gates
As I mentioned on my show "Day in Tech History", today is Bill Gates Birthday. He was born in 1955. Of course, we all know the history of Bill and Microsoft. 30 years later (1985), Gates puts Microsoft up for Initial Public Stock Offering. Happy 54th birthday Bill!
Taking a Walk Back in Time
The other day, a staff member brought me a laptop they had found in a closet. "No one is using this anymore," I was told. I opened up the tiny carrying case to find a Winbook XP5 circa 1995 or so. I'm not even really sure, actually, as I could not find any information on this thing online. I booted
Just Killing Time with iTunes
Last night, I spent the better part of three hours making adjustments to my iTunes library. I have three computers I use regularly, all with iTunes installed. I only have one iPod, and I use it on all three machines. I kept my manually-managed music library on one of the desktop computers, and I did all the podcast syncing automatically

How I’m installing Windows 7
I have been really pondering this issue since the beginning. I have a relatively new machine that I installed less than 2 months ago: It's working pretty nice in Windows XP land. However, it was a futile effort, because it was going to be assimilated to the new version once it came out. So the preparations were taking place since
The Cost of Digital Airtime and Trust that comes with it
We live in a pretty unique time. No longer is there any barrier to entry in getting ones opinion or agenda onto the digital airwaves. While Newspapers buy ink by the barrel there is no cost to digital airtime which is why sites like YouTube that allow individuals to post content are so popular. Because there is so much content

The Office of the Future
Well, for me, anyway. I saw this today in some random slide show one of my techs sent around via email. I went looking to see if I could find one, and a price, but had very little luck. I can get one from India for 41K in Rs. currency, whatever that is. I am one of those people that
