L'idea di base: Che cosa se potessi cercare facilmente il mio proprio calcolatore come posso cercare il fotoricettore? Allora potrei trovare un email o un documento di parola, persino un documento del pdf, o un Web page precedente-osservato, o tutti i quelli sul mio proprio calcolatore in un istante, giusto fornendo alcune parole di testo che penso potrebbero essere nel documento o nel relativo nome.

Entri Tavolo di Google (GD). Ho scoperto questo un anno o due fa, quando stavo facendo funzionare Windows XP e pensato esso erano più destri di quanto il pane affettare. Bene, quasi e certamente migliori che qualche cosa che Microsoft abbia offerto. Non ha funzionato esattamente di destra - a volte io scatterebbe sopra un risultato e niente verrebbe in su - ma almeno ha sembrato trovare tutto.

Tranne i documenti di WordPerfect. Uso WordPerfect e certamente lo preferisco al Microsoft Word, ma i documenti hanno apparentemente una disposizione unica e correttamente non sono spostati ad incrementi da GD o dal indexing software del Vista del Microsoft. Nessuna sorpresa che Microsoft ometterebbe deliberatamente WordPerfect, perché stanno provando a seppellirli con la parola per gli anni (con successo evidente),…

A new boot record rootkit in the wild has the potential to bring Windows Vista down to its knees. Despite having applauded Windows Vista throughout 2007 as the most secure Windows operating system on the market, the latest Microsoft client still has some problems involving write-access to raw disk sectors. In this context, in early January 2008, GMER revealed that at the end of 2007 a new stealth MBR rootkit was detected in the wild, which could compromise Windows Vista.

“Unfortunately, all the Windows NT family (including VISTA) still have the same security flaw MBR can be modified from usermode. Nevertheless, MS blocked write-access to disk sectors from userland code on VISTA after the pagefile attack, however, the first sectors of disk are still unprotected”, the GMER member explained. “At the end of 2007 stealth MBR rootkit was discovered by MR Team members and it looks like this way of affecting NT systems could be more common in near future if MBR stays unprotected.” (more…)

If like me you are a Firefox fan you might be interested in trying a Theme called miniFox. The idea is it shrinks everything it can, including the Tool, Title bar and menus, as small as they will go, and still remain useable, freeing up more space for web pages. It’s quick and easy to install, and of course, like all of the best things in life, it is absolutely free, and if you don’t like it, just go to Tools > Add Ons and select the Themes tab.

As you undoubtedly know by now, Windows Vista brought to the table DirectX 10. Microsoft failed to make DirectX 10 available for Windows XP, arguing that it would have to introduce extensive changes to the core of the operating system, in order to accommodate the new graphics technology. In this context, Vista became the vessel for DirectX 10, because despite various promises from third-parties to artificially backport DirectX 10 for Windows XP, the latest Windows client remains the sole way to access the superset of DirectX 9.x.

Microsoft touted a healthy increase in gaming and multimedia quality with DirectX 10 as an integer part of Vista’s architecture, but with the vast majority of users still running Windows XP, digital content is largely focused on Vista’s predecessor. The Redmond company was in fact
criticized by both content producers and end users for its decision to make DirectX 10 Vista exclusive, but the barrage of fire failed to deter Microsoft from its tracks. Moreover, in the first quarter of this year, Windows Vista SP1 will deliver DirectX 10.1. (more…)
