Microsoft Removes Projectile-vomiting IE8 Ad From Web
Source:Yahoo Fri 3rd Jul 2009
An online ad for Internet Explorer 8 that showed a woman projectile vomiting has left such a bad taste in viewers' mouths that Microsoft has decided to remove it. The ad, which features American actor Dean Cain and shows a woman vomiting after seeing her husband's Web browsing history, is still available via YouTube. However, Microsoft has removed it from the IE8videos channel on YouTube and the BrowsefortheBetter.com site. That site is part of Microsoft's campaign to promote IE8. .... more

Source:C|Net Fri 3rd Jul 2009
Microsoft appears likely to offer a "Family Pack" version of Windows 7, according to language in a leaked test version of the operating system.

Waledac worm targeting July 4 spam offensive
Source:C|Net Fri 3rd Jul 2009
The Waledac worm is gearing up for a spam campaign related to the July 4 holiday, a security researcher warned on Thursday. Researchers analyzing the code of the worm, which has been deploying updates to previously compromised PCs, have discovered that at least 18 domain names have been registered related to fireworks and Independence Day that will be used to trick people into visiting a malicious Web site, said Pierre-Marc Bureau, a senior researcher at antivirus vendor ESET. .... more

TV stations struggling with viewer loss on DTV
Source:Physorg Thu 2nd Jul 2009
Most of the stations, in cities like Chicago, Philadelphia, New York and Dallas, moved their digital broadcasts from the UHF band to the VHF band on June 12, when they turned off their analog broadcasts. The VHF band was previously used only for analog broadcasts, and was largely untried as a carrier for digital broadcasts. While UHF can be received well with small indoor antennas, the best VHF antennas are large rooftop units. Many antennas sold as "digital" ones in the last few years receive UHF only. .... more

Windows 7 will not help SSD sales much, say notebook vendors
Source:Digitimes Thu 2nd Jul 2009
Windows 7's support for SSDs will not do much to boost sales because the price gap with HDDs is still too high, according to sources at notebook vendors. Since current SSDs are priced around US$4-5 per GB, while HDDs cost less than US$0.50 per GB, the sources expect SSDs are unlikely to become the mainstream specification for at least three years, even though Windows 7 will include several optimizations specifically targeted at SSD-equipped systems. .... more

PCs with USB 3.0 to be Available Before 2010
Source:Dailytech Thu 2nd Jul 2009
News reports from Asia indicate PCs with USB 3.0 will be shipping to consumers before the end of 2009. USB 3.0, with speeds 10 times faster than USB 2.0, will offer transfer speeds of up to 5 gigabits of data per second. Manufacturers are expected to introduce a new generation of USB flash drives, external hard drives, and other devices that will make use of the significantly faster transfer speeds. NEC Electronics is expected to lead the pack among companies adopting USB 3.0, with the company recently becoming the first to introduce a USB 3.0 controller. The company began shipping host controller samples last month, and in September will begin manufacturing an expected one million units per month. .... more

Vista's dead: Microsoft kills an OS and no one cares
Source:Betanews Thu 2nd Jul 2009
For anyone still burning a torch for Windows Vista, its time is rapidly approaching. Buy now or forever hold your peace. I can't say I'm surprised at how any of this has turned out. After all, Vista's launch was, to be charitable, rocky. When it first arrived just before Christmas 2006, it was late, bloated and, for some, expensive. It may have looked pretty on the outside, but critics quickly pounced on it for driver incompatibility, sluggish performance on mainstream -- and sometimes even high-end -- hardware and enough bugs to fill a family-sized tent on a weekend camping expedition. Microsoft didn't help matters with its ill-fated "Vista Capable" designation -- a public relations debacle that convinced buyers who were too lazy to read the fine print that Vista would run just as well on hardware barely suited for XP. .... more
