Well I last night I did a windows update and there it was windows vista service pack 1 RC 1(cause I did the registry hack). I got so happy and downloaded it. It took a wile for it to download and even longer to install it might have been just my laptop. I hope to tell you more about it soon.

Well its been about 4 days sins I got Firefox 3 beta 1. I have to say its an improvement from Firefox 2. Firefox 2 really didn't have anything new that IE 7 didn't do. The one thing I liked the most was the places folder in the Firefox 3 its kinda like a easer to navigate history. I used that the most. Its more secure If you go to a page that has a invalid certificate it will say that its not vialed one. I really cant say to much right now cause its not done yet but when it is I'll have review. Go here to see the realest note for Firefox 3.
Well it seems that apple is spying on you when you check the weather. Because we know how importin your weather info is to apple. Well thats what TUAW. But it turns out that apple isn't spying on you. TUAW came back and sad oops we were wrong. I thought sins all the other blogs wrote about this so I thought I would too.

I just got the beta for firefox 3 and I like what I see. I'll have my first thoughts on it soon. For the mean time here are some screen shoots of it. If you want to get it to try for your self go here to get it.
Well I’ve seen on a few sites that the person running the page tells what they use to get there stuff done so I thought “Why not do the same.” So that’s what I'm doing this week.
What I use!!!!
My desktop is a HP Pavilian a335w
I use a notebook Witch is a Everex
I use windows XP Home (Desktop)
I also use Windows Vista Home Basic (Notebook)
Windows Live Messenger
Windows Live Mail
Windows Live Writer
AIM
Yahoo Messenger
XP Office 2002
Open Office 2.3
Mozila FireFox
Cd Burner XP
Windows Live Calender
Sony PSP
I also use Windows 98 on my othere desktop
My other Desktop Is a Compaq Presario
Thats what I use around the house and I'm sure there is more that Im not thinking of right now but I think this is good. Well until my next post see ya.
Well this is part 2 of my look at some of the windows live servisis. I took a look at the windows live calender beta. I like think it looks better then the Google calender. To me the looks are inportin to me I just think if I'm going to use something I should like what I'm looking at. Well more about the calender and thats were I guess it fails I just didn't see anything new. It docent do anything different that the Google calender cant do.
The next thing I looked at was the windows live sky drive witch is like Microsoft's version of Apple's .mac accounts but for free Microsoft gives you 1GB of storeg. If you pay for it they will give you more at this time I don't know how much more you get. I think even the GB is good for backing up home work and some of the most inportin pitchers you have or documents. Just remember that when you restore that back up it will only be as fast as you Internet connection.
Over all I think windows live is a grate free online sweet that a student in college or even in high school for planing projects and things. Next week hope fully there will be a release beta for fire fox 3 and I can get my hands on that. Will until next weekend.
Windows live in the last year it has changed the way we do things soon I'm sure it will change how we do things at home and in the office. I looked Windows live hotmail live calendar and there sky drive. First if you look at there new home page that that has links to all there services on it. (look blow.)
Now windows live hotmail hot mail has changed sins the days of MSN hot mail. The reathan why I say this is because the last time I looked at Hotmail was back then I got mad at it would take forever to load up and all I wanted was my e-mail so I started using outlook express to read my e-mail then windows live mail. I like the new windows live hotmail. It looks like outlook you could never need outlook again you got your calendar and news and your e-mail. Open up outlook right now at look at it but it side by side and tell me its not almost the same. I'm sure office 2009 will have a reathan to use outlook. All you contacts from Windows Live Messenger are there as well. I really think that with time Windows live hot mail will get even better.
I will be posting more stuff about windows live tomorrow witch will be part 2.
I was lessening to one of my favorite pod cast TWIT (This Week In Tech) and they were saying that the government is making it more expensive for local ISP’s to provide Internet for there customers by razing there cost so they have to raze there customers prices on high speed Internet For the bigger ISP’s like AOL Road Runner and Commcast there lowering there prices so basically they no longer have to worry about local ISP’s any more cause they will be out of business Yet the bigger ISP’s like Road Runner and Commcast will most likely raze their prices even though they don’t have too. Its really another way that businesses that are not monopoly’s act like monopolies. In the cents that were you going to go in most places there is only one place to go for high speed Internet here its time warner other places its Commcast so we don’t have a choice. So people do have a choice but it’s really no different so its still like they don’t have a choice. So in the end there is no choice unless you want to go to dial-up.
Well I've been looking at safari for widows XP and I don't really like it its been freezing up a lot almost anytime I go to my space and send a message it freezes and it makes me made. One good thing is well.... it starts up fast. Other than that I wouldn't get it use Firefox whether your on windows or mac just get Firefox safari is just a IE clone for the mac.
Today I woke up and got on my computer. I started up Itunes and started lisining to Security now it was there listeners feed back episode. There was one question that I found somewhat disturbing about firefox my beloved firefox. From what they sad on there is a fetcher in firefox that lets you turn off the mask when you put in your password for a website. The most insecure thing about this what if you have firefox to save your username’s and passwords. Let say that some one breaks in to your house or gains remote access to your computer now they go to your myspace page with firefox witch you told it to remember your username and password so now when they get to the myspace home page they go in and turn off the masking and now your password is wide open and they can see it. They could go to other pages and see what kind of method you are using to come up with your passwords.
The sacry thing is my school uses firefox to do there grades and stuff. Now lets just say a kid in my school gets on one of the teachers logins by just the teacher leaving the room for a few minutes and now all that kid has to do is turn off the masking of the password and go to teachers grade book witch in my school it is online and now the password is in clear view. Now before you go run back to IE there is something you can do to stop this from happening you can go in to your options and make a master password for firefox making it so no changes can be made unless you enter that password. Well I hope I have enlightened some of you. I would like to say something though to mozila. Why would you but something like that in firefox that’s a Microsoft error so please take it out in firefox 3 I’ll bare with you for firefox 2 but please make firefox 3 better. I’ll try and have a step by step thing soon for those who want it.

Well it looks like you can call lane line and cell phones with skype. It looks like if you sign up with a offer you can get it free for a little wile. Depending on the your offer depends on how long it is free. So go to the skype web site get it if you don't already have it sigh up for a offer and start calling phone lines and cell phones. I have one more thing to add I think it should be free I think maybe they could have use pick a offer cause I could deal with ad's if I can make free calls.

Well it looks like the best buy in store web site has been figured out and now it looks like after they where sued a few times they have now put a disclaimer on the in store site. Witch basically says that what is see on that site my be more than whats on the best buy web site. It also looks like Amazon.com has launched the public bata of there music serves it sounds good from what I was reading at engadet.com. Its DRM free as all these survis exseped I tunes I'm sure something will brake at apple and they will go DRM free. Well thats all for now I'll have the link to were I got these story's at the bottom of the post.

Well like I sed last week I got a new laptop that has windows vista home basic. When I say that I went to Ubuntu Linux but it really didn't work well on it so vista got me back. After I put vista back on the laptop I started to play with it and well There really wasn't much to say about it I mean it is basic it has a e-mail program but I ended up down loading the windows live sweet. It is good about keeping things out of your computer I think just about everything I did this week on it it asked me if I wanted to do it what I told it to do and after awhile it got annoying. But this is a good thing now you know nothing going in or out with out you knowing. Next was hardware and well that's were it sucked as I think everyone knows nothing I plugged in worked other than my thumb drives. Software I only tired one thing and well it was like an 8 year old typing program and it worked just as good as it dose on my other computers. In the end I like vista it works for what the normal home user uses a computer for.
