Something is wrong at the Google Plex. Apparently, no matter what you search, Google is showing this message beneath it:If this isn’t enough of a warning, click on any search result and you’ll be greeted with: No wonder, this is a trending topic on Twitter. Has Google marked all teh Internetz as malware? Is this a step towards global...
Windows 7 is being touted as a light on resources OS. But really, how light is it? The answer may lie in the video, as someone has managed to run Windows 7 on a UMPC with a 600 MHz A100 Intel Processor with only 512 MB of RAM. The Experience Index gives a score of 1.2 which is more than Vista’s 1 on this very same UMPC. The installation...
I know I’m going to hurt a lot of people with this post, specially those wanting Windows 7 to be released ASAP. I’ve been using Windows 7 Beta daily, and couldn’t help but notice how Microsoft seem to have made critical mistakes in putting thoughts behind some simple issues. While I praise them for going with a very consistent UI...
I’ve been using various Twitter clients over the past few months ranging from Tweet Deck to Destroy Twitter. While I absolutely loved Destroy Twitter, *chirp by thirteen23 has totally blown me away! It’s the kind of application that’ll make you proud of being a Windows user and jealous if you’re not. Built on WPF (Windows Presentation...
Microsoft has been in the news related to Barack Obama’s inauguration. Whether it was with the Silverlight broadcast on the event, or the Photosynth. But they pale in comparison to the latest from White House. Todd Bishop found a story from the Washington Post which tells about the agonizing pain that Mac-loving Obama staffers are going...
Office 14 alpha was recently released to TAP, and the screenshots have already been leaked by a Russian website WZor.Net. The UI looks a lot whiter, just like the new Windows 7 explorer and Windows Live apps UI. According to Stephen Chapman, Office 14 will be called Microsoft Office System 2009, which points out to a release this year.

So, finally there’s a new gadget published by Microsoft for Windows Live ‘What’s New’ feed, and it’s not the best of efforts I have to say.
The Windows Live What’s New Sidebar Gadget (Beta) is a Vista gadget that displays your Windows Live “What’s New” feed on your desktop. You can receive real-time updates on what your friends...
That was quick by Microsoft. The Windows 7 customization website, also accessible from the personalize window is now up and running. It contains themes, backgrounds, desktop gadgets and sideshow gadgets. The last 2 things can be found at Windows Live Gallery as we, so why the duplication? Weird, I know. But they had to fill it up with something....
Don’t you just love the stacks feature in Apple’s OS X Dock? It would have been great if Microsoft could implement such a feature in the awesome new Windows 7 superbar, but sadly, that’s something we can only dream of, since it’ll be called a rip off. But if you really really want a stack in your superbar like the one in the image...
In Windows 7, we finally see the return of themes. Windows XP and Vista had a themes feature as well, but that didn’t really offer much customization for the end user as in previous Windows versions or Windows 7 now. I’ve complied 22 themes for Windows 7 users, to start with their testing of the beta releasing tomorrow. I’ve used some...
