Windows 7 Operating System Flavors

Feb 7, 2009 | 0 |

We begged and we pleaded… and Microsoft didn’t listen. Once again there will be 7 flavors of the next Windows release Windows 7: Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional, Ultimate, and Enterprise.  An either really good (or really bad) feature is that there will be one disk for all versions, so all the features of ultimate are going to be on your starter copy- so close but oh, oh so far away.  Once you purchase upgrades you will be able to unlock these features- no need for the original install disk.  I’m sure that some crafty people will be able to find a crack for this, forcing Microsoft to never do anything like this again.  You Hackers!  For more information on the flavors of Windows 7 and these new features you can visit http://go.cosmicthings.com/windows/win7flavors/ For full CNET Coverage of Windows 7...

Some TV Stations Don't Care What The FCC Has to Say

Feb 7, 2009 | 0 |

As we all know, the DTV Trasition was lengthened to June 12  instead of the Preposed February 17, 2009.  some Tv stations, such as our very own WBOC, have decided that they are not going to wait. The new law allows TV stations to get permission from the FCC, the TV licensing agency, to turn off their analog channels before June 12, and the FCC says that, of the 1796 TV stations that must complete the switch to digital, 379 stations are already digital-only or will be by Feb. 17.  Plus, up to another 700 stations could “safely” go all-digital before June 12.  (TV viewers will have to watch for messages from their local stations to see when those stations will turn off their analog channels.  In some TV viewing areas, all the local stations may turn off analog channels on the same day; in other areas, TV stations might do analog channel shutoffs on different dates.) for more information on the delay, visit CNET News’s article:...

Jan 31, 2009 | 0 |

Beginning today, all four major music labels — Universal Music Group, Sony BMG, Warner Music Group and EMI — and thousands of independent labels, now offer their music in the DRM-free iTunes Plus format with higher-quality 256 kbps AAC encoding. iTunes customers can also now purchase and download songs directly onto their iPhone 3G over their 3G network — just as they do with Wi-Fi today — for the same price as downloading to their computer. And in April, based on what the music labels charge Apple, songs on iTunes will be available for 69¢, 99¢, or $1.29, with most albums still priced at $9.99.  Read more:...
