Forget China and India, Sweden is tech's superpower

Sweden FTW!!!

Kazaa, mySQL, Skype, The Pirate Bay, Spotify...

Microsoft ends Windows and Office 2007 rental restrictions

Earn Ye some Balls

"Sterling Ball, a jovial, plain-talking businessman, is CEO of Ernie Ball, the world's leading maker of premium guitar strings endorsed by generations of artists ranging from the likes of Eric Clapton to the dudes from Metallica. But since jettisoning all of Microsoft products three years ago, Ernie Ball has also gained notoriety as a company that dumped most of its proprietary software--and still lived to tell the tale. "

Malware ecosystem thrives thanks to pay-per-install fees

Windows FTW!!!

OK, I'll go peacefully, just got to get my coat.

It's the asbestos-lined polar-bear furry thing in the corner.

Where's all the malware för Mac and Linux at?

Intel cozying up to Google Chrome OS

An abundane of marketshare???

Maybe Otellini is playing a wild card here, but Googles liquidity could be playing a small part in Intels strategy. Google cooperation could mean Microsoft subservience, if such a thing can even be imagined, but I doubt it. Mobile is the key, and instant on ;-)

Nothing to see here, just Intel collecting some OS-goodies, concessions? that AMD will have to emulate.

Not a fan of any of their houses /:

Google's vanity OS is Microsoft's dream

It's a trap!!!

Google is sailing up Microsofts blind side. When the desktop is the browser most users will be happy doing mail, facebook, myspace, twittering and what not....

Remember Picasa and YouTube!!! Google will not be gimping around as the astrotards so merrily maintain.

Police want new remote hard drive search powers

Excel Trojan targets unpatched flaws

Excell not excellent?

How very surprising. One would think that Microsoft with its tens of thousands of programmers and its vast cash reserves would have some way of untangling the mess of spaghetti-code that they have released over the years.

Open Office while ugly is very functional reasonably safe.

Weasel Words or what...

>>>saying that an arrangement with "a search provider...facilitates the dissemination of the Foundation's browser, thereby increasing the accessibility of the internet."<<<

Translation required...

Is using a commercial outfits money taxable if your revenue stream is extremely dependent on that entity?

>>>"If it doesn't pass the test, the Foundation says, it will become a private charity, coughing up about $100,000 in taxes."<<<

Is this how an organisation that develops a flagship application on the open-source front line should behave? Where is the ethical leadership?

Windows 7 'pre-beta' washes up on Pirate Bay and co

Free bug hunt

As the eminent Sir William Gates the turd once expressed his sovereign wish that if people would pirate software he would like them to pirate his Microsoft software.

"But if, as appears may be the case, Microsoft is letting people have Dell XPS M1330 laptops with 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo processors and 3GBs of RAM on "indefinite loans"..."

and... we (maybe) have a winner, extra points for MS-Vista as the obvious loser.

He's just a minor bot or should I say A" lilttle-BOT" (otherwise known as a phenomenon only known to kNee-jerk web-sites such as tHe reGisters esteemed forum and other worthy or WoRdY Internet-communities)

Ballmer on banking crisis: No one is safe

Ballmer, live by the chair, die by the sword

Here's hoping that the recent financial downturn will sweep the abominable chairman and the Frankenstein monster that he helped to create into a long-forgotten but much deserved oblivion.

RIAA filesharing target Jammie Thomas wins retrial

Bring it on!!!

// - Paris, because she knows strange fruit...

More whinging

The Bad:

- fixed width === bleh

- small fonts === double-bleh

- grey walls of impending death === not very presentable.

- masthead === fugly

The quick fix:

- view the site with styles-sheets turned off (Firefox).

The good, some icons are back:

- Paris and the _old_ good and bad Gates, Jobs, the "I'll get my coat" and the mArTiaN är back. Yea!!!

Downing Street rejects Vista petition

The Down*ing of the Street... a few questions

How about putting a copy of the $3 version of the Windows OS on the shelves beside the £350 Vista boxes that contain a lot of hot air? Which version would the punters buy?

What exactly are organizations that should be watching out for the consumers rights doing about the predatory dollar to whatever EU currency conversion that is currently abused by Adobe, Microsoft, etc? Are "watchdogs" like The Office of Fair Trading asleep on the job?
