Pervasive Computing

I remember purchasing Windows 95 Upgrade for my Compaq Presario 920, What absolutely amazed me was the Wheezer music video stored on the disc. It was probably the first time I was exposed to the potential of electronic media, particulary video.

I’ve read some articles about Microsoft as of late. Apparently there are those in the field that are trying to hype down the launch of Windows Vista. With the amount of money Microsoft has sunk into developing the next generation computing platform for the masses, there is bound to be unobvious spinoffs. These spinoffs and technological innovations will drive computing into the next decade. Mr. Bill Gates coined this decade the ‘digital decade’.

Some also dispute the importance of Windows – particularly Vista. Others say that OS are yesteryear. OS drive all things. Even Internet applications are dependent upon OS.

Stay tuned for the computer revolution.

Oh how I loved the 80’s (Pet Shop Boys 06′ Release)

Light, sublime, subliminal
The void is clean
A cell but not for a criminal
Light and shade
Time and space

Pecs, Delts, Gluts, Lats, Biceps, Triceps, and More

2007 for me is about ensuring health, happiness, and prosperity to my life. These are three key areas that I will be focusing my efforts on. Particularly, I will be devoting at least 1 hour each day going to the gym, working out in order to get a ‘killer bod’.

I’m also focusing my attention on my eating habits which have come quite poor over the last year or two. Carbs are killers, and the key to a lean, toned body is to try to keep their intake at the very minimum (well at least for my body type). I have no issues converting body mass into muscle mass, others have difficulty doing so, for these endoderm body types I recommended a ‘bulking’ type food regime.

2007 International CES – Consumer Electronics Show

So I’ve just heard a rumour that Microsoft (Bill Gates) will be dishing out details Microsoft’s decision to have the XBOX 360 double as a set top box for IPTV! If that is indeed the case, then by golly we finally have the much laded COMBO BOX discussed and envisioned all those years ago by Jean Monty!

More details will be announced at CES tomorrow.

On another note, Microsoft may also be unveiling an updated 360 with HDMI support, 120 GB hard drive, and maybe even an HD DVD drive built in. Who knows for sure. Code named Zephyr, 360 v2 is coming out of the closet screaming ‘Future of Home Entertainment’.
