General Motors is close to signing a deal with Google to move more than 100,000 employees to Gmail and Google Apps.

Windows XP image
Shortly after the world entered the 21st century, Microsoft launched Windows XP. Now the world will celebrate its 10-year anniversary.
A decade ago the majority of the PCs shipped were desktops and today they’re laptops. In fact, IDC has interesting stats that puts this into perspective. In 2001, about 80% of shipments worldwide were desktops compared to approximately 20% laptops. A 2011 forecast has shipments of desktops at roughly 40% desktop versus around 60% laptops worldwide.
As I think back 10 years, I had never watched a video or listened to music online and my camera still used film. Back then, we would have been pleasantly surprised to have internet access outside our office, and today we’re disappointed if wireless access isn’t free at our local coffee shop. We have come a long way in 10 years.

Joomla! is a registered trademark
I was confronted with a situation recently after I built a website for a particular company using the Joomla! platform. Questions arose as to why the cost for this particular website was not more cost effective than if it was a traditional website. Meaning developing from scratch using .Net, C+, C++, Java, VB etc. I found myself having to explain hat not because an open source platform was used for the website, it did not mean that there wasn’t any labour involved. This person did not understand that it took time to find the right template as the right color scheme had to be determined, time to produce the banner, and time to put it all together.
The uneducated with regards to Open Source needs to understand that Joomla!, WordPress and others are just another platform for creating beautiful websites on the internet. Sure open source saves you a lot of hours of coding but that is not all that is required to build a website and having everything in the right place. I would challenge this individual to have a professional website built with an Open Source platform by a professional see what their cost would be. I suspect that they would be surprised.
Does your website need to be refreshed or maybe you would like one built from scratch? Please contact us for pricing.

Okay, so I thought I would take the plunge and upgrade to the iPhone 4 even after reading about its’ connectivity issues and dropping calls. I thought I would reserve judgement until I’ve had the phone for at least a week or so and use it rigorously. I’ve had my new iPhone now for a little over 2 weeks with it being on about 16 hours each day.
Well it was no surprise to discover that I lose the signal on a regular basis whenever I’m at home in my house. I should mention that I’m on the Rogers (Canadian) network. Whenever I’m away from the house, I don’t seem to have the same issues. I upgraded from a Blackberry and never once had a dropped call or can locate network message. I will continue to monitor my signals at home, but as this is a common occurrence, it might be a while before this issue is resolved.
By far I prefer the iPhone over the Blackberry. But Apple needs to resolve the signal issues. I don’t believe this is a Rogers issue as stated earlier; I did not have any signal issues with my BB or other Rogers phones.
Conclusions. Buyer beware, if you don’t mind losing signals once in a while or dropping the odd calls here and there then go for it. Besides all that, I do like my new iPhone for now.
Imagine posting a picture of your vacation on Facebook and that picture gives your exact location (referred to a GEO Tagging) where you were when that it was taken. Now imagine taking a picture of your old car or jewellery to sell on Craigslist. If those pictures were taken with a GPS enabled camera, then your exact location can be known and would be robbers will know your address in no time. Don’t let this happen to you. There are steps in which you can take to prevent this from happening to you. And the first thing is to know what you are sharing and how it will impact you and your families’ safety.

To dual boot is easy if you have two HDD’s, but I will now explain how to do so if you have one and have to create a partition
BEFORE YOU TRY THIS ALWAYS BACKUP YOU DATA
~If you already have Vista installed and want to dual boot XP~
1. Download VistaBootPRO FOR FREE and save to Memory stick/CD
2. Decide on the space you want for XP, it is recommended that you have about 30gb, but it all depends on the size of your HDD
3. In Vista go to Start/Control panel/Administrative tools/Computer management/Disk management. Select primary partition, right click and select shrink, now choose the size you want, Vista will then automatically give it a new drive letter
4. Now reboot with your XP CD inserted, install XP
5. Log into XP, install VistaBootPro(.net framework 2.0 needed to run it)
6. Open VistaBootPro, ignore backup message, click System Bootloader and All Drives, click on Install Bootloader
7. Select Run Diagnostic, you will see Vista and XP menu, rename them if you want to
8. Click Apply to update settings
9. Reboot you PC and you will now have a boot option for Vista and XP
That’s it!
