Changing Times

You might think we've been kinda quiet lately. But we haven't - we've just been making a lot of noise on this blog over here instead.

So until further notice, please consider that other site the place to check out all our ramblings. In the meantime we'll be sorting out this one, and sorting out a few other things too.

Now please take a moment and listen to this and to imagine a big epic send off to a much loved blog. But treat the send off with some cynicism, because you know that really whilst one chapter is closing, another one is probably opening somewhere else.

Just like in Sex & The City when they stopped doing TV for more money and longer holidays doing cinema.

Where are my royalties?

Franz Ferdinand pioneering PR leaves some musicians wondering where their royalties lie..

Augmented reality exit stage left

Every now and then the future we were so casually promised in the 80s actually turns up on our hyper-connected-screen-machines. Last week we had the flying car. Today is another one of those days. Welcome to touchable holograms.

More Windows 7 News

Our very own Cherie has installed a preview release version of Windows 7 and discovered something a bit lol worthy.

After the EU ruled that M$ wasn't allowed to bundle Internet Explorer within the EU because it breaks anti-competative laws, Microsoft decided to release Windows 7 without any web browsers installed. Obviously without a web browser, you aren't able to go online and download one - as you need a browser in the first

place to get there.

So if you're doing a fresh install of Windows 7, make sure you have a copy of Google Chrome, or Firefox on a USB stick or on a CD for browser installation otherwise you'll have a whole lot of fun trying to work out how to check your e-mails.

If you're buying a new PC or laptop from a manufacturer like Dell, then this won't be an issue as they regularly install 3rd party junk like Google Desktop before shipping their systems so it would be highly unlikely they ship a system without a browser pre-installed on it.

Pre-Order Windows 7 Today

From today, you're able to pre-order Windows 7 on Amazon (and other places) whilst stocks last. The RRP is £150, but you can snap it up for this short period for £45 which is truly a bargain for what is being heralded as an actually GOOD operating system from M$. The OS isn't actually released until October, so don't expect it to turn up on your doorstep next week if you pre-order it today.

I've bought my copy. I think you should as well. Unless you use a Mac. If you do, feel free to come to the Crown & Sceptre with us in Farringdon one Friday evening and join the PC vs Mac argument. Its not much of an argument at the moment as I'm one of a very small number in the office who haven't moved over to a Mac.

*Update* The price has already gone up to £70 as of 28th July 09 so be quick.
