Last week, I received a message from Guy: "I LOVE Google Calendar! But... I wish I could set a reminder for a month in advance, instead of a measly 2 weeks. That is the only thing holding Calendar back from being truly awesome!"Thankfully for Guy, Google Calendar's event reminders are even more customizable: now you can choose any period of time between 5 minutes and 4 weeks. This works not only for the default notifications ...

When it comes to search, Microsoft is trying everything it can to become a serious player. It tried to acquire Yahoo, its latest version of Internet Explorer attempts to steer Web surfers away from Google, and then there is straight-out payola to search advertisers. I am talking, of course, of Microsoft’s Live Search Cashback promotion, which lets advertisers offer rebates to consumers who make a purchase after doing a Microsoft search. After Live Cashback launched ...

At the Intel Developer Forum (IDF) 2008, Intel showed on stage its upcoming new quad-core CPU codename Nehalem, much expected by the virtualization professionals because of the included Extended Page Tables (EPT) technology. On top of that now there’s another reason to wait for Nehalem: the processor will support a new technology developed by VMware and called VMDirectPath. VMDirectPath will allow ESX to avoid the emulation of network interface cards and map the physical NICs ...

Filed under: News items, Account Security NASA has confirmed that the International Space Station has been infected by a keylogger. It was carried onto the station by an astronaut's laptop back in July. The keylogger in question is the W32.Gammima.AG -- which is specifically a gaming keylogger. In other words, the ISS has the exact kind of keylogger that plagues so many of us in WoW. NASA describes the keylogger as merely a "nuisance," but ...

In June Microsoft finally released its long awaited hypervisor: Hyper-V 1.0. The first release of this bare-metal VMM supports one flavor of Linux as guest OS: Novell SUSE Enterprise Linux 10. But to work properly inside the virtual machine Linux needs additional components that Microsoft releases under the name of Linux Integration Components. This package includes the Linux implementation of the Hyper-V VMBus (the same high performance interface that Windows 2003/2008 guest OSes use), the ...

As we become more dependent upon web based applications like Gmail, Google Reader, and WordPress, the reality of not having access while offline becomes a bigger concern. People aren’t using these applications just for entertainment anymore. For many, it’s a part of their job. While Gmail isn’t included, the other two have offline versions thanks to Google Gears. While that’s been a great solution for Firefox users, there are a few people that actually prefer ...

Let me be clear on this one: Select is bad, Add-Member is good. OK, OK, this is not a one-size-fits-all answer, and there are plenty of scenarios in which Select-Object is useful, but in a lot of cases it is being misused. The most frequent one, when someone tries to use Select-Object or Format-Table to add a new attribute to the displayed objects. In that particular scenario these two cmdlets basically create one-time-use disposable objects ...

Mozilla just ensured I won’t use IE8 because it released Ubiquity. What is it? It’s a box that lets you ask different questions and get answers. It’s sort of like search. But far more powerful. It’s not for non-passionate Internet users. They won’t get it. It takes some time to learn how to use this feature. (To get what I’m talking about when I use the term “passionate” you should see my previous rant about ...

Aza Raskin at Mozilla Labs thinks there’s got to be an easier way to create Web mashups. Today, he is announcing the launch of Ubiquity, an experiment in using natural language to invoke Web services. Ubiquity is an extension to the Firefox browser that lets you type in what you want to do—insert a map, translate this page, Twitter this block of text, search on Google—and invokes one of 30 Web services. As Raskin describes ...
