I cannot afford multiple monitors and find that I often need to have two windows open at the same time so that I can read one, while I write in another. You can split your monitor into two (half size), three (one half, two quarter) or four (all quarter) sections. You can then "maximise" your windows into any of the sections so that no screen real estate is wasted by simply dragging t

Read more Microsoft Joins with Google To Favor White Space The debate about using white spaces in the television spectrum white space is getting red-hot as a Nov. 4 vote by the Federal Communications Commission grows closer. As further proof that telecommunications policy makes strange bedfellows, Microsoft has joined Google in urging the FCC to allow white space to be used for a national wireless broadband. In a telephone conference with reporters Monday morning, Microsoft chief research and strategy officer Craig Mundie said the software giant agrees with Google that using the white space could make the United States a world leader in broadband access, particularly in rural areas. "As we look to rural communities, we'll see more community broadband connectivity," Mundie said. "Using unlicensed white-space spectrum,

Google's Android 'opens up' the smart phone

With the hype surrounding Apple's iPhone 3G launch in Canada, not to mention Research in Motion's BlackBerry and Microsoft's Windows Mobile, one might think there's hardly room for yet another contender in the highly competitive smart-phone space. Google would beg to differ. The web-search giant's much-hyped Android mobile phone platform is about to roll out in the U.S. on Oct. 22, beginning with the HTC T-Mobile G1 handset ($179 U.S., with two-year contract). Now before you ditch your existing phone, bear in mind the G1 will only launch in the U.S. initially (as was the case with the iPhone), but phone manufacturer HTC says Canadians can expect an Android-powered handset "sometime in '09." Here's why it might be worth the wait. The G1 has a large touch screen that resembles an iPhone, but it also sports a BlackBerry-like trackball and slide-out QWERTY keyboard. Unlike other platforms, though, Android has an open operating system: Google is giving
Google Open About Kill Switch in Android Phones Although T-Mobile's G1 smartphone with Google's Android mobile operating system won't be formally launched until Oct. 22, observers are busy peering under the hood and reading the fine print. One feature is sure to cause some comment: A remote kill switch that will let Google wipe out any application that violates the developer distribution agreement for Android apps. Not long ago, the discovery that Apple retained the ability to remotely kill iPhone apps (and was not afraid to use it) sparked a sharp response from some Apple customers, in part because there was no disclosure of the kill switch and because Apple seemed indifferent to the fact that customers had no easy mechanism to get refunds for killed apps. But Michael Gartenberg, vice president of mobile strategy at Jupitermedia, doesn't think customers will have the same reaction to Google's kill switch. "The existence of a kill switch for Android application
Big News for Music Lovers (Courtasy BBC ) Music pirates can be deterred by warnings from their internet service provider (ISP), suggests a survey. Almost 75% of music pirates would stop if told to by their ISP, the survey of 1,500 UK consumers found. The research looked at the digital habits of consumers and found that the abundance of online music services was convincing many to go straight. Just over half of those questioned said they got music from legal subscription sites, or those supported by ads. Older fans Conducted by Entertainment Media Research (EMR) the survey aimed to find out what kinds of digital media consumers like and also how media sellers can make it more palatable. The research revealed the effect of the campaign against persistent pirates conducted by the music industry. Acting on information supplied by music industry groups many ISPs have contacted customers to tell them they are suspected of illegally downloading music. "It is quite evident that an ISP-led

We started digging around our basement and found all kinds of junk: old Swedish fish , pigeon poop , Klingon translation books. Amazingly enough, hidden in a corner beneath Larry's and Sergey's original lab coats, we found a vintage search index in mint condition. We dusted it off and took it for a spin, gobsmacked to see how different the web was in early 2001. " iPod " did not refer to a music player, " you
