Windows 8 Review

Windows 8 Pictures and screenshots from regular people like you and I, picking it apart.

To start, the look of mobile devices is great. For a mobile device. is noce to have variety and options. Not every single thing we own looking and working the same. Imagine if all shoe manufactures decided to only make, boot. blue boots. but the boots come with lots of features and options. Sure after a while, the subtle difference will be what makes the unique, but by today's standards, it makes them bland.

Applications or aps .. instead of just calling them programs of all different sorts, everything is called aps and hopefully designed to look like big shiney bubbles with content.. that's kind of fruity but ok. the aps do not turn off, they just go into hybernate,rest mode or a paused state. Kind of like quick launch. Did we not learn that by disabling all of the start up crap that microsoft said wouldn't harm us, would make us go faster? why are we still seeing this being shoved down our throats? ok... it opened 1/2 a second faster than if I did the other thing. If you just made your operating system less bloated it would open 100% faster.

Things people Sell That we wish they did not

I was searching through a website looking for affiliates to sponsor my website, when I stumbled into a few software companies that I found to be a bit questionable.
Like a website that sells a captcha code breaker
Or another website that sells data mining software
Really? They can sell that stuff? people actually pay for that stuff? i mean the cost is low, but what is the risk of getting yourself into some trouble

Is Google Sniper a Scam ?

Is Google Sniper a Scam ?
Do we need to tell you that Google Sniper is a scam?
I don't think anyone needs to tell you that if someone is selling a loop hole, it is most likely a scam. it is in your best interest to avoid Google sniper all together.
but hey if you want to trust a website that will not let you leave because they bombard you in popups that lock you into the site, then hey... More power to you.
Google Sniper 2 is a Scam.

I busted my Monitor

Wouldn't you know it. Right after I posted my How to Shop For a Wide Screen monitor
I'm sitting in my room, My cat is up on the window ledge. The neighbor slams a board down on some other boards and scares the total daylights out of my cat. My cat gets the Whirley eye and in a ditch effort to dive down, he nailed my monitor. My monitor rocked I freaked and reached out to stop it from falling. I couldn't get my hand open fast enough to grab the monitor. So.... I punched it. Right on the edge of the monitor, not really the screen area. so now my monitor has about 45 lbs of push behind it. Now my monitor smacks against the wall and shatters . Splits right on the seam. I actually see the screen area fall out of the monitor frame and shatter as it tumbled off the desk, onto the edge of my pc, the glass from my LG monitor is all over the floor. Well so much for my 10000:1 contrast ratio wide screen monitor.
So now I have to go shopping for a new monitor myself.
Of course I will be selecting a good monitor.
Just uncertain of where I will go shopping for the monitor.

People Gaming Adsense

I just stumbled into clown posting a "how to" on how to game adsense so they make like 200-300 a day.

I am so frustrated by this. It's cheating the system. I bust my butt owning a ton of real websites, always working on my content making sure it is always up to date and fresh. Making sure my content is good.
Then a couple years ago google says they are dropping the pay out amount because they think people are gaming the system. As apposed busting them. What's that do? it reduces the amount of pay out for the legit crew of content writers on the internet. and it lets the adsense cheaters run free.

What do they do to break even on the amount of money they make now as to what they made before the pay rate reduced for adsense?????? They cheat more.

They rip off google adsense and then google in turn rips me off, and then in turn the cheats rip off google even more.

The adsense cheats have an Honor system on blogger and on youtube. adsense needs to bust these jerks and pay us legit writers more.

Watched The super Bowl in above TrueHD Res

Ok, for the record. Don't bother doing that. Ever. It seems that the transmission is actually just below 1080p. So no matter how good your tv is, the resolution of the signal is still around 900 max. So the game looked pixelated to me.


but none the less,
The who played a great show. Stage looked like a simon says.
Advertisements as odd as this is, I saw local adverts. Should have been big money like every year, but really I saw a mattress commercial.. during the 2010 superbowl ? really? and it wasnt even in High def. . That I did not understand.
This the 44th football game of football games of the year, and they played a local low res comercial? are you kidding me ?
it was rumored that they would stream the game from the superbowl.com website. So I foolishly told family that it would happen. I even saw the count down ticker on the website. This counter actually stopped counting 20 minutes to soon. Then nothing.
Ok that was uber lame.
Tech side of the superbowl, not all that amazing.

Testing Windows 7 At Work

Day 1

Splash screen

We use an Intell(R) Pentium(R) p4 2.81 GHZ with 1.5 G Memory

Full format deleted all partitions Let 7 control partitions
Our install of course was the 32 bit version of Win7

Splash Screen says Windows(R) 7 Ultimate, that was free one year from Microsoft’s(R) website. Thanks guys. We appreciate that.
Boot up was fast , about 17 seconds.
3 printers and one plotter on the network.
We have the goal to test all drivers and handling of certain used machines.
At first boot we saw all printers, but when we started the test page to print, there was no printers in the list.
We are now manually installing drivers. Last we tried with vista, the drivers would not install. with seven The Gestetner 525 installed within seconds. Smooth. We now go back and try the Lanier LD122. Next will be Ricoh Aficio mp w2400 Plotter copier

. Server Driver spoiling, is not an option , finds drivers on the server and installs them. Be sure and install the drivers. Twain untested as of yet. Scanner issues will come.
Test page 1 on Gestetner now. print was good on Gestetner.

printed one test page on network win7

Testing windows 7 printing color

We have now consumed 10 gigs of storage. So far we have not installed anything Except printer Drivers

Windows typical keystrokes working as we try.
Loading Symantec Endpoint 11 Work Station Virus Scanner and Firewall To test compatibilities.
noted incompatibility issues, we selected “install anyway”. . So far no prompt for install and no shortcut in quick launch for Symantec, nothing in programs area either, it has been 7 minutes since we started . We are restarting manually to see if we get a boot error.
after reboot, no sign of Symantec.
They did make it clear that Symantec was made for Win Xp, Win 7 is x86/32 bit
Offered to check solutions online, Note is “no solution found” Incompatible. Now we try the 64 bit version of Symantec to see if there is a difference.
Right off we get the “ehh dude, it might not work, doesn’t work for anyone else” notice.
This time it did create the directory for symantec, but quickly uninstalled it. and said that it was interrupted and nothing was modified.

Next we try installing Symantec Server sbe11

More testing to come throughout the week. We want this on our work machines pretty bad. Interesting point, Win7 Identified that the version we have we got from the symantec website, even though it said we had compatibility issues. hmm odd.
Over the next few days we will check Symantec’s site for help on the issue/matter.
We do find a help saying “copy to desktop, run lusetup.exe, reboot, run setup.exe” and all should be good ?????
Maybe ???? Tomorrow we will see.

We install Mozilla Fire Fox 3.0.10 , No Thunderbird today.
good , no notice of compatibility issues. We import nothing, because explorer is a clean install. FF as default.
Install is fine. Fire fox is running well. No issues.

Day one is complete, next tests tomorrow, More writing.

Day Two of Windows 7 Workplace Test.
