Flip 3D for Task Switching in Windows Vista
Chris | Live Tech Support | Video Help | Add to iTunes http://live.pirillo.com/ -My brother-in-law Travis emailed to ask me why the new computer doesn’t have that “cool” little 3D popup to help switch between open windows.

How Not to Install Windows Vista SP1 Beta
I thought I would have been fine with installing the first Windows Vista SP1 beta last night (after having been invited and accepted into the feedback program). Guess what?

DreamScene: Another Vista Ultimate Snoozer?
So, we finally have a new Windows Vista Ultimate Add-on… only it’s not all that new, and it’s not all that ultimate. My screen resolution is still too high for me to run DreamScene. To tell you the truth, that might be a blessing. I’m not so sure I’d want a motion background sucking away [...]

Wikipedia Fact and Fiction
Wikipedia, despite its shortcomings, is pretty darn amazing. Like most people, I have a love / hate relationship with it. I’m amazed to see it show up in Leopard, too! “Jordan C” just submitted a well-positioned argument for the world’s greatest encyclopedia… I just thought I’d send you an email with some information towards the [...]
