Windows 7 Whopper
Jan 12th
How do you say “Oh My God” in Japanese? Burger Kings signature product – The Whopper - is getting a 7 day makeover in Japan. The Japanese fondness for beef is well known, and Burger King wants to indulge them with the “Windows 7 Whopper”. That’s 7 patties made of beef, filler, and perhaps some sort of chemical to kill bacteria, topped off with the usual Whopper ingredients. A meal guaranteed to backup your system and/or cause a serious crash due to overload. Remember, you can always resort to the “three finger salute” – Ctrl-Alt-Purge - if you need to! It’s not likely that Microsoft will support this version of Windows 7 due to the health risks and short shelf-life.
FDIC Insurance Premiums Put Squeeze on Small Banks
Jan 11th
The FDIC Insurance program must bolster it’s funds to cover further bank failures, and small banks are paying the price. The insurance fund, which covers depositors funds in case of bank failure, lost over $36 billion as it took control of over 140 failed banks in 2009.

Firefox 3.6 to Lockdown 3rd Party Add-ons
Jan 11th
Mozilla announced over the weekend significant changes to the coming version 3.6 web browser. In a move meant to keep the browser stable, 3rd party developers will not be able to add their own code to the Firefox components directory. That means a re-write for plugins – of which approximately 75% have already been converted. Version 3.6 is due “any day now” and will include Personas, which will allow easy appearance customization. You can download other Personas from Firefox.

Jan 11th
Fede Alvarez, a producer from Uruguay, uploaded a video to Youtube he reportedly made for $300 (I highly doubt this figure), and had Hollywood knocking down his door! His short film “Ataque de Panico!” (Panic Attack) -- about giant robots which attack Montevideo -- landed Alvarez a $30 million film deal with Sam Raimi’s Ghost House Pictures. Raimi is known for producing the Spiderman blockbusters.
How to Speed up Windows
Jan 10th
Although this article is titled “How to Speed up Windows”, a more accurate description would be be “How to give your computer less to do”. Assuming there aren’t any serious hardware issues, computers generally get a bum rap for being slow. In reality, they are dutifully handling incredible amounts of work. More >
