1) HOW DO I KNOW IF I HAVE USB 2.0 ON MY COMPUTER?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you have an older computer but want to use modern
devices with it you are probably going to require a
high speed USB 2.0 connection.

But since they look exactly the same as the older USB 1.1
connections - how can you tell what you have...?

Find out about a simple way here:

2) INTERNET MAPPING AND MICROSOFT OUTLOOK

directly from within your Outlook calendar. Get driving
directions, print detailed maps, find optimized trip routes,

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

3) SPYWARE IN THE REGISTRY STARTUP KEYS

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Spyware is a curse and since organized crime now uses it to
fleece money from PC users in software related scams the user
needs to be more aware of what is on their computers.

This quick manual tip can be used to see if any software you
do not recognize is running on your computer at start up.

4) WE SHARE YOUR PAIN - MICROSOFT "SPOOF" VIDEO.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This *HILARIOUS* look at how Microsoft treat bugs in their
code is a must see!

-----------------------------------------------------------

7) BILL GATES GAMING IN 1995 & 2006

-----------------------------------------------------------

...this may not be your thing but just for fun I have posted
2 videos on my site that show Bill Gates talking about
gaming in Windows 95 (right from within DOOM)... and then
just to see how far we have come since then, a video of him
and Steve Ballmer (Microsoft CEO) fighting on the XBOX 360

for stepping down from the day to day management of
Microsoft!

You can read more about the transition here and view a
short video clip of him talking about the announcement.
