Windows Vista “Mojaveâ€Â
So Microsoft has decided to change the way it markets Vista, and they have realised that due to the bad press it got from the word go they need to try to turn the feelings of these people.

Apple Fan Boys Desert
No, I’m not talking about a group of Apple fans sat around eating cake, I’m talking about a lot of Apple fans seeming to be quite annoyed with Mr Jobs and his crew and it would seem to be sparked by the iPhone 2.0 firmware and MobileMe.
I was doing the normal rounds with a quick read of some of my RSS feeds and found this article.
http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/26/apple-admits-to-lost-mobileme-messages-bad-karma/
I sounded like a topic to start a row between the fan boys, the Microsoft lovers (that’s me) and the people sitting on the fence and staying the hell out of it. I read down to the comments and wow – This is the first time I have ever seen Apple fans actually taking words against Apple, so come on down the big M and enjoy the view.
PS: Did I mention that LiveMesh is free, works on PC, mobile devices via m.mesh.com and soonwill be supporting mobile devices using an actual client and Mac support too. Did I say it was free?
File Sharing Warning Letters
So in the news yesterday on TorrentFreak, Engadget to name a few news sites was the talk of the agreement to mass mail people about downloading of content from the Internet ‘illegally’.
According to news, the big six ISP’s in the UK will be part of this deal being Virgin Media, BT, Orange, Tiscali, Sky and Carphone Warehouse (AOL and TalkTalk). The current deal seems to be that they will issue warning letters to people they suspect of downloading content, a step which Virgin has already taken of late to be much ignored it would seem.
What Another Day to Work in Farnborough
So this morning, I wrote about what I’d seen yesterday, but today the Red Arrows have blessed us with a 20min overhead display.
It would seem that they’ve landed at Farnborough also, so whether they are just popping in for fuel or staying until Monday who knows.
Britain just isn’t British without the Red Arrows 🙂
What a Day to Work in Farnborough
What a day yesterday was to work in Farnborough. As you know I work for Xerox, and one of the accounts I work on the QinetiQ account in Farnborough. The site borders Farnborough airport and the building I work in is actually next to the runway or as close as you can get at least.
Although the Farnborough International Airshow doesn’t start until next week yesterday saw some pretty good action for aircraft coming in to do their validation flights and testing their displays.
