The great unveiling of Windows 7 - http://tinyurl.com/6dn9td - should have caused a huge stir but sadly I'm struggling to see the point. For me, not even the now aging Windows Vista offers up enough change from trusty old XP and from everything I've seen continues to slow down even the best computer.
I'm hoping that when it comes to the final launch, Windows 7 will include a feature set that just can't be ignored; one that runs seamlessly on a half decent machine and taps into the exciting new world of cloud computing as a standard operating experience.
Hmmm...we shall see

Twitter and terrorism - surely not in the same sentence?
US Intelligence Agencies are apparently worried that terrorists are soon to begin using the micro-blogging site Twitter to plan and organise attacks - http://tinyurl.com/6rnfnf.
Let me know if I'm missing something, but isn't the whole point of Twitter to publicly express details out to the wider world rather than share secret information?
I've got a suggestion: stick with the mobile or even the old tin can and string to keep things private, social media postings have a habit of reaching the wider world!

SD price heaven
Geeky I know, but isn't it just amazing how cheap SD memory cards have now become!?
Just a quick scoot on Google throws up an 8GB card for around £10 - an unbelievable price - http://tinyurl.com/5nma3u
I can't wait until we see terabyte pen-drives.

'e-Paper' - the book of the future
'e-Paper' is the technology I've been waiting for - check out the video on BBC's site...
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7671528.stm
In short: Cambridge University has developed some super thin electronic paper made without any metallic components so it is bendable, durable and pretty darn tough.
I can't wait for the day that books, newspapers and websites can be fed directly to a portable, 'reader friendly' device that looks a lot more like a sheet of paper.
It just begs the question - where can I get one!? It doesn't seem to be in the public domain just yet.
