SPINNERS at Microsoft desperate to prove that its Vista OS is not the lemon that most sceptics claim, have staged a cunning publicity stunt.
According to News.com, the Vole has started rounding up Windows XP users who had negative impressions of Vista. They then showed them a 'new' operating system code-named Mojave. More than 90 per cent of the sceptics said the new OS was good and then they were filmed as they were told that "Mojave" was actually Windows Vista.
Surprisingly, none of the people filmed called Vista spinners a very rude word. In fact one of the dupes actually said the words, "Oh wow!" which is the phrase Voles have been hoping to get out of users mouths for months.
The users in question had not attempted to install software and not received the annoying "Do you want to do this Dave?" comments. Nor did they have to suffer those stupid shut down messages where Vista claims it is trying to fix a problem but doesn't.
Windows unit business chief Bill Veghte told News.com, that his team had a huge "perception opportunity" with the "OS". Which is VoleSpeak for everyone thinks Vista is pants

Sexual reproduction
Sexual reproduction is a process where organisms form offspring that combine genetic traits from both parents.[1] Genetic traits are contained within the dioxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of chromosomes — by combining one of each type of chromosomes from each parent, an organism is formed containing a doubled set of chromosomes. This double-chromosome stage is called "diploid", while the single chromosome stage is "haploid". Diploid organisms can, in turn, form haploid cells (gametes) that randomly contain one of each of the chromosome pairs, via a process called meiosis.[2] Meiosis also involves a stage of chromosomal crossover, in which regions of DNA are exchanged between matched types of chromosomes to form a new pair of mixed chromosomes. Crossing over and fertilization (the recombining of single sets of chromosomes to make a new diploid) result in the new organism containing a different set of genetic traits from either parent... more info

Technology
Technology is a broad concept that deals with a species' usage and knowledge of tools and crafts, and how it affects a species' ability to control and adapt to its environment. In human society, it is a consequence of science and engineering, although several technological advances predate the two concepts. Technology is a term with origins in the Greek "technologia", "τεχνολογία" — "techne", "τέχνη" ("craft") and "logia", "λογία" ("saying").[1] However, a strict definition is elusive; "technology" can refer to material objects of use to humanity, such as machines, hardware or utensils, but can also encompass broader themes, including systems, methods of organization, and techniques. The term can either be applied generally or to specific areas: examples include "construction technology", "medical technology", or "state-of-the-art technology"....more info

Bali Island
Bali, a tropical island in the Indonesian archipelago, is so picturesque and immaculate it could almost be a painted backdrop. It has rice paddies tripping down hillsides like giant steps, volcanoes soaring up through the clouds, dense tropical jungle, long sandy beaches, warm blue water, crashing surf and friendly people who don't just have a culture but actually live it. In Bali spirits come out to play in the moonlight, every night is a festival and even a funeral is an opportunity to have a good time. more info..

Choosing a Web-Hosting Service
A guide for small-business owners to selecting the right Web-hosting service, including a list of questions to ask.
A few years ago, entrepreneur Blake Snow found a cheap Web-hosting platform for his new consulting business, based in Orem, Utah. The real cost didn’t come until later. “I [prepaid] 12 months service for a cheap host that I could only use for two months before having to make the switch to a better provider,” says Snow, who runs Web consultant Griffio Consulting. “I had to eat the cost.” More info...

Outlook Vs. the Others: Business Email Clients
Microsoft's email application is widely used, but how does it stack up for business use when compared to other products?
With presence on about 450 million desktops, Microsoft Outlook is by far the most widely used email application in the world, but it's not popular with everyone.
Some small business owners feel they don't have the skills to administer support for Outlook. IT managers at mid-size businesses may fear it will be more susceptible to viruses and worms than other programs. Still others "just don't like Microsoft," says Erica Driver, principal analyst with Forrester Research, of Cambridge, Mass. more info..

Healthy old Europe
The population of Western Europe is aging, and the region's birthrate, looking ever more anemic, is well below the replacement level. The specter haunting Western Europe today is the prospect of inexorable demographic decline.
But not all is ill with Europe's demographic situation. Its aging population is exceptionally healthy. As a result, its people are more capable of remaining productive into their advanced years now than they used to be, and perhaps even more so than their American counterparts. "Healthy aging" in fact may turn out to be a trump card for enhancing prosperity and international competitiveness - if Europeans are willing to play it as such ...more info

Computers Everywhere: Embedded Software Made Simpler Yet More Powerful
The current decade will probably be known as the dawn of pervasive computing, when PCs were dethroned by technology to embed computers in almost everything. The hardware already exists to add features such as artificial intelligence and wireless connectivity to clothing or cars. Thanks to researchers, software is catching up fast.
“Hardware development has reached a stage where it is possible to have a fully-fledged computer with processor, memory and operating system on a board the size of a sliver of chewing gum,” explains Germán Puebla, a researcher at Madrid Technical University. “But until now software that can be programmed easily, and uses the limited hardware and power resources of pervasive computing devices as efficiently as possible has been lacking.” ... more info

MOUNT BROMO - PROBOLINGGO - JAWA TIMUR - INDONESIA
Bromo isn't the highest mountain in Java — that honor goes to nearby Mount Semeru at 3,676m — but it's probably the most famous one. Bromo is in fact only one of many peaks inside the massive Tengger Caldera, but it's easily recognized as the entire top has been blown off and the crater inside constantly belches white sulphurous smoke. The inside of the caldera, aptly dubbed the Laut Pasir (Sea of Sand) is coated with fine volcanic sand and the overall effect is unsettlingly unearthly, especially when compared to the lush green valleys all around the caldera.
