Day 28: Lets get back to business. Tech business.
Well I’ve been so busy as of late, that I’ve been neglecting the tech biz. So tonight after I was so uninspired by the democratic debate (at least us Texans were pumped about it), I decided to show some love to the tech world.
First off, Apple has filed a patent that involves tons of touching, recognizes typing, and incorporates tracking. Engadget jokes about this being a surface-like (see Microsoft Surface) device. Although, that’d be really cool and interesting, I’m going to speculate it might end up being a tablet-like computer. Regardless of what it is, I’ll welcome the new addition down the road. More, here.
Microsoft finally (yeah its been a while) dropped Service Pack 1 for Vista. Although its great that Microsoft is advancing the OS, I’m afraid you won’t notice a huge difference. So yes, all those hardware issues you’re having will probably remain issues. Anyways, there are security and internal system updates that are included and probably should be downloaded. Boot up that Windows update and get on it. PCMag’s coverage, here.
Redhat has finally realized Data Portability exists and sent a cease and desist letter. They claim the logo looks oh too similar. If I remember correctly (and I do), I called this when DataPortability first started to gain momentum. Oh well, maybe it took them a while to round up their lawyers. RWW’s coverage, here.
And just to leave you a little something, Troy sent me this photo from XKCD. Apparently its supposed to be about me. Surprisingly, I agree.
